ALIT1LE TOWNS BEST BET.

The fire at Newburg, where the
flames seem 10 have been practically
unrestrained by the efforts of the
bucket brigade and to have been i'm
mediarely checked and conquered by
the chemical apparatus put 10 use by
tireuen from neighboring towns,
should have It's lesson not only for the
town that suffered bur for other vii
lagos and small towns everywhere. The
estimated loss al Newburg IS more
than s2o0oo, that IS the direct loss,
there are other losses incidental to a
big ire that are not included il any
estimate II is 10 be noted also that
the fire was still raging when assist
ance arrived from neighboring towns.
What the loss might have been without
assistance Is continuation Of another
story.
In these days Ct chemical IRE fight
ing outfits it is an ucwise village
which fails TO provide itself with such
simple, cheap and effective protection.
To be sure such protection If neglected
may be useless when il is most needed
but that is merely the same fault and
carelessress that fails to take any pre-
caution. There IS no good reason why
small interpretations like Newburg
should not have chemical apparatus
and l-ea-, - in good order as pr0- ec-
ton against fire. It costs less in cash
and attention than a conhagration.

she holds firmly to the custom OF
greasing the butcher knife and laying
it carefully away before she ties up
the finger she cut with it, seek no
farther. The noodle soup is secure.
When the United States government
can run over into Lancaster county,
Pa, and find a woman who knows
more about noodles in a minute than a
college OF chemistry could find out in
a hundred years it seems foolish eS-
pense to put the question up to the
chemistry bureau. AS a matter Of tact
one serving of her noodle soup would
convince the chemistry board itself.
Noodles are not a chemical problem
but a question OF cooks. Aunt Mary
never used puttering little scales or
queer looking formulas. She took a
dab of butter, a pinch of salt hand
full Of -four, smitchin of this and
tablespoonful of that and got busy. The
result was noodles. And the test was
the way the folks scraped the last
noodle out of the big earthenware dish
at dinner.
If the desire is to actually find out
about noodles drive down the lane
from the gate at the road, past the
garden where no weed ever lifts its
head, around past the big red barn.
You'll notice that all the window cur
tains are down in the main part OF the
house but don't argue from that that
the folks have gone to town or to
funeral. Hitch at the post near the
back gate of the picket fence. Go up
the board walk snowy with scrubbing
10 the back stoop where the milk pans
glitter in the sun and the hollyhocks
near the garden gate daunt their glor-
les to the day. Aunt Mary will be
there. She'll ask you into the parior
where none but company comes and
there with the enlarged photographs Of
his" parents and her father and
mother and that OF the little boy who
died she'll tell you all anyone needs
10 know about noodles.

MASON clrrs $500. 900 SCHOOL.

The voting of $500, 900 bond issue
for new high school in Mason City
is a notable exhibition of optimism on
the part of a citys population if no,
exactly conservative in public finance
Mason City at present has approxi-
mately 500 students in lis high school
Bit proposes to build Cor a high school
which shall contain 1900 or more
Marshalltown with $3.50, 900 plant finds
ample accomm for more high
school students than Mason City has
and with care in arrangement could
easily take care of high school popu-
lat:on OF 1900 on an investment of
100000 From this it would follow
that when Mason City has invested
sSo0,oeo in a high school it viii nave
provided Tor city of $4,000 people.
There were many citizens who OPP
posed the bond issue at the polls on
the ground Of its seeming extravaganza
Mason City will have to grow much
faster than she has been growing in
order % reach the $4,000 mark before
the bonds come due. but then Waterloo
has multiplied three times in the past
twenty years so there were others who
carried the day for Greater Mason
City.
The thing to DO al Mason City, now
that the bonds have been voted and
the 100000 plant is to be erected, is
TO reach out and take in the surround
ing country. Mason City is already at
work paving its country roads. The
next step should be consolidation of
rural school districts and transporta-
ton OF the farmers children from
miles around Mason City's new school.
Il Mason City has builded large let her
reach out for business enough TO keep
the plant busy. The time has arrived
for children from the farms TO enjoy
the advantages Of town schools with
out forcing the parents to leave the
farm and move TO town TO live.
