OF Course He is Right.

We believe that President Wilson is
eminently right in his policy of pre-
paredness. IF you own a house or a
building, you carry fire insurance on
it. We give you credit for having that
much business sense. We look upon
preparedness policy as national
peace insurance policy. This country
is not governed by a set Of hair-trig>
ger gentlemen who would be anxious
to rush into war just to show off
their new toy. The common people
Of the nation would not stand for a
program of that sort. We have
enough confidence in the heads Of our
government to believe that they can
be safely trusted to do what is right
and fair, even though they have the
backing of well-disciplined army and
d competent navy. Right today, if
one of the strong European powers
should declare war on the United
States, we would be in a sorry condi-
ton to repulse the attacks of the
enemy. We need bigger army and
a bigger navy.-Winnebago City En-
terprise.

SUSTAIN FIRE LOSS.
Haas Brothers, of Pine City Lose En-

The following account of the fireaN
taken from the last issue of the Pine
City Poker:
"Ben Haas was endeavoring to rush
some work that had been promised
out of town for that day and had been
over town to fire up the stove and the
sewing machine, after which he re-
turned home for breakfast. On again
going to the shop he found the gaso-
line in the stitcher low and turned out
the flame for the purpose Of reilling
the tank. But when he poured the
fluid in flame shot up to the ceiling.
Hurriedly setting the can down, he
grabbed horse blanket for the pur-
pose of smothering the flames and was

machine when the entire floor SEEM

building, although he had been work
ing at the rear end of the room. Those
in the bakery who happened to see
his exit say that he crawled out. His
arms are burned slightly and his hair
singed but otherwise he suffered no
personal injury.
"The stock valued at about $500
is a complete loss, however, with only
$500 insurance. This loss is an ex--
tremely hard one on the firm which
is comparatively new one and was
struggling to secure success. The
boys aren't looking for sympathy,
however. All they want is business
at the fair prices they have establish
ed.
with his usual determination, Mr..
Haas at once ordered other tools and
has leased the old Connors building
next to Fara's butcher shop, where he
expects to open up again today. Fire
can't keep that kind of a young man
from succeeding"
