SLEEPY EYE FIRES.


DR.. G. Schmidt, three miles southeast
of Sleepy Eye, awoke at two O'Clock
Christmas morning and looking out Of
his window saw two straw sheds in which
over fifty head of cattle were kept and
filled silo in flames. The telephone
was Immediately brought into play and
it was but few minutes when score
of neighbors were on hand ready to do
what they could, but the fire in the sheds
and the silo was beyond control with the
means of fighting it which were to be
had and all that was left to do was to
prevent the flames from spreading.
Immediately after giving the alarm Hager
hurried to release the imprisoned cattle
in one of the sheds, but he found them
all dead, perhaps suffocated from the
smoke. Thirteen to fourteen hundred
dollars worth of beef, the property of
DR.. Schmidt, went up in smoke and only
$500 insurance Sleepy Eye Herald
Dispatch.
Last Saturday forenoon at eleven
o'clock the fire alarm was sounded,
calling out the laddies to put down
flames that were eating up Earl La Cows
beautiful home in the south east quarter
OF the city. In a few minutes the de-
partment was on the scene but in spite
of their frantic efforts and those of
willing townspeople the house was gradu-
ally burned to the ground. While at
her work in the kitchen preparing the
monday meal, Mrs. LaGow discovered
/ that the upper southeast corner of the
house was burning and had been afre
for some time, and while she was at the
telephone giving warning the burning
roof fell in. A strong gale blowing across
Rose Lake from the east famed the
,, flames through the whole house, thus
doing away with any ordinary chance
of putting them down. The effective
ness of the fighting service was somewhat
impaired from the fact that the day
was bitter cold. Long icicles could be
seen adjoining the firemen's boards.
Faulty water mains (by a leak it is
thought) impaired the force of the stream
which could be thrown only about
twenty feet.
After the fire had started and it ap-
peared to be beyond control, great
deal of furniture, including the piano
and photograph, was taken from the
house, Mr.. LaGow was also fortunate
in saving painted portrait of his grand
father, valued at $500. One of the re-
gretable losses of the fire was that of
Noel Hoffman,, who roomed at the
house. All his clothes and belongings,
including about hundred dollars in
currency, were consumed. The LaGows
also lost most Of their clothing and a
number of other things, such as bedding,
tables, chairs, carpets, books, etc.,
which they were unable to get out. The
estimated valde of the house and fur
niture is put at about $1,000 or $4,000.
Of this $4,000 will be regained in in
surance on the house and $1,000 on the
furniture. Mr.. LaGow and family are
now occupying rooms over the Berkner
Bros. store, and when spring opens he
will erect new house where the old one
stood.-Sleepy Eye Herald Dispatch.

CAUSED BY CARELESSNESS

If you are constipated it is your own fault. It is caused by carelessness and can be corrected by cultivating careful habits.
 Diet is of the first importance, then ex- ercise and the use of a laxative until healthful habits are established. Harsh purgatives are harmful and make matters worse but Pinklets, the little pink gram ules prepared by the Dr. Williams Medi- cine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y, give nature the gentle assistance required and they really do correct constipation. If the laxative you are using is unsatisfactory try Pinklets.
 Write for free sample or get full-size, 25-cent bottle of Pinklets from your own druggist, A booklet on "Constipation, It's Causes and Treatment' will be mail. ed free on request.

ORDPEACE ARK HITS
 WILSON MESSAGE
Fires Wireless Broadside Against
 Preparation Program

New York, Dec. 9.-Wireless ad- peace ship, Oscar IT., signed by Henry Ford, and prepaid, tell of a mass meeting held on board Tuesday night, at which extracts of the message of President Wilson to congress were read by S. s. Mcclure, the publisher.
 Some discussion followed, during which Ellis o. Jones, writer, of New York, referred to the message as Ire actionary," and said that it should not be received in silence.
 We are going abroad now,' he said, lon a mission to stop terrible war among nations, every one of which is prepared in a military way. This is no time to disturb American traditions, and prepare the United States for war;
 Kind of Preparation.
 Mr. Jones pointed to the fact that the United States and Canada had lived side by side for century with out soldiers, forts, guns or trenches, and that there only existed a prepa- ration for peace between Norway and Sweden. He added that was the kind of preparation we need now in America.
 MT. Jones concluded with the re- mark that this body of earnest, un- selfish men and women should speak in no uncertain terms about this message.''
 Dr. Aked's Views.
 A lengthy address by the Rev. Dr. Charles F. Aked of San Francisco, was included in the advices received from the Oscar II. In it he told of some of the great events that had sprung from small beginnings. He told of the work of the Apostle Paul and its vast moral inf1uence; of the work of Clarkson and Garrison to abolish slavery, and of Neal Dow in behalf of prohibition.
 Dr. Aked then spoke of the present war, and the fact that it could not go on forever.
 "Who knows,' he said, "but that we ourselves may bring those diplo- mats and rulers and statesmen around their table, face to face, to talk things over quietly a little sooner than they would have done if Henry Ford had not brought us upon this ship?
 Strongest Principles.
 we make our appeal to that which is stronger than earth, and as endur- ing as Heaven: the principles of hu- manity, brotherhood, conscience, faith, hope and love, and in this ap- peal we cannot fail. 1T am as certain as am of my own existence that lasting good will come of it,

companies in farm loans; $993,4S0,- 900 or SPA per cent. were invested in other real estate securities in the United States; while the balance of $28,971,O 900, or 1.73 per cent were invested in real estate securities of other countries, chiefly in Canada. As the value of farm, lands and improve ments, according to estimates of the United States Census Bureau, is only little over 30 per cent. of the total value of all real property in this country. It appears that life insur- ance companies have shown marked preference for farm loans com pared with city and village loans.
 Rural Credit Problem.
 we are hearing much today of the Rural Credit problem and are tions of the country are often com pelled to pay eXorbitant interest rates," he continued. ''If this be true, we must look for it's cause out side of the rates which life insur- their farm mortgage investments, be- cause we find the average rate on all our farm loans to be but 5.55 per
 
 we learn that farm loans average, with companies chiefly engaged in making such loans, but $2,5O0 each, while city and village loans of com panies chiefly engaged in making such loans, average $75,00O each, and yield an average interest return of 5.13 per cent.
 Lenders of money are beginning to realize that they should give con- slderat1on to how capital supplied by them is going to be used, whether to provide luxuries and encourage ex- travagance, or to improve values and increase income from the properties taken as security. The rule applies alike to city, village and farm pro- pertles, and I believe the time will soon come-if it has not already ar rlved-When there will be better understanding and closer co-opera- ton between borrowers and lenders, to the end that borrowers may be better enabled to meet their obliga- tions at maturity, and lenders may be made to feel more secure in the investments they are making"

ALBANIAN ARNAUTS
 RISE AGAINST SERBS
MontenegrinS Driven From Their
 Strong Mountain Positions

Berlin, via London, Dec. g, 4:51 a. m.-The outstanding feature of the situation on the Serbian front as shown by information received here is that the Albanian tribesmen, par ticularly the redoubtable Arnauts, have arisen against the fragments of the Serbian forces which have suc- ceeded in getting across the frontler into the Albanian mountains. Mili- tary writers here express the bel1et that the Serbians have little mercy to expect from the Albanians who still maintain the blood feud declared after the Serbian "assimilation' or the tribesmen in the parts of Albania occupied by them during and after the Balkan war with Turkey.
 Situation Perilous.
 With the exception of small band of Serbians, the remnant of the Mon astir army north of Ochrida Lake, no part of the Serbian armies remaln on Serbian soil, it is stated. The fugl- tives, without artillery or transport trains and with only such supplies as they can carry on their backs, are struggling not only with the pursuing

 Court.

New York, Dec. 9.-The cases against eighty retail merchants and twenty-f saloonkeepers of Jersey City, charged by agents of motion picture interests with having violated the Sunday law by doing business on that day, were adjourned for one week yesterday in the first municipal court by Magistrate James P. Dolan.
 James Mckenzie, a newspaper re- porter, who was haled to court for working on Sunday, pleaded guilty, and sentence on him was suspended. He wrote stories, so it was claimed, on suppression of moving picture en- tertainments and other affairs in volved by the Sunday law.
