Fire Yesterday Morning.

Fire broke out early yesterday morn
ing in r. Paul's residence and consider
able damage to the building and con.
tents resulted. 1t is not known just
how the fire started and before it was
discovered the house was almost filled
with smoke. The discovery was made
by number of boys returning from
a party at the Burton hall. An alarm
was sent IN TO the fire department hall
and the occupants of the building a..
reused. Mrs. Mcdonald, George Paul
and Sigma Swanstrom were in their
rooms on the second floor, Mr.. Paul
having gone on trip to Chicago. The
occupants with the exception of Mrs.
Mcdonald made their way down the
stairs, but on account of the dense
smoke Mrs. Mcdonald was forced to
make an exit through an upper story
window. The fire department made a
quick repOnse and despite the severe
cold weather and the nature of the fire
did good work, The fire ragged between
the partitions and broke out in the
roof and in number of places in the
rooms in the building. A great deal OF
damage to the contents resulted from
smoke and water, the fire itself not do
ing much harm. The loss will be heavy
and Mr.. Paul has the sympathy of his
friends in this setback to the beauti-
full home which was not long ago com

Careless Hunters Tabooed

Careless Hunters Tabooed
Careless hunters may hereafter have
difficulty in obtaining a license, if a
bill that will be drafetd and presented
to the next legislature goes through.
A strong movement is under way in
the state. 1t was started in Racine
county and has gained adherents in
other parts of the state.
Another object of the bill is to pro-
tect songbirds, which often fall vic
Tins to hunters who have been disap-
pointed in finding anything of more
fero:ious" nature to use as targets,
and who. therefore, slaughter the in
offensive sUngsters in a spirit of wan
ton lust for blood" " The bill as now
contemplated, will give the county
clerk power to refuse a license to any
man who is considered irresponsible
and whose carelessness may result in
accidents.
Another feature will be to make
owners Of agricultural lands game
wardens, without pay, with powers to
make arrests on their own lands of per-
sons VINO violate the game laws. Far
mers throughout the state are favor of
this provision. as it will tend to de-
crease the destruction Of songblrds.
which are cherished ana protectei by
the tilIers Of the soil because they des-
troy insects that otherwise would
cause great damage to crops. 1t is ex-
pected that this provision will meet
considerable opposition, however. as it
is considered too wide extension of
police power ami that as a consequence
it will be abused.

the average farm income in cash is

stuff consumed on the farm.
This is quite different from the dis

round to the effect that his income is
one dollar per day. In addition he has
his rent and fuel and team which to
