idea that it will, but the pos
sibilities are there just as sure as
the following rules for school
buildings are neglected:
Keep conducting fire drills. If
the children become panic-stricken
when fire drill is called, repeat
the drill oftener and the pupils
will become accustomed to leaving
the building in an orderly manner.
Keep all combustible material
either in fire proof receptacle or
refuse to have them in the vicinity
of the school-bouse. Keep all
stairways clear. Keep all doors
and windows leading to exits and
to fire escapes always unlocked
during school hours. Keep hand
rails on both sides of stairs.
Remember, the first report of
the Peabody school fire was
brought by a pupil Teach the
pupils always the necessity of
always being prepared to prevent
fire by having them report to the
teacher anything which they deem
hazardous-in this manner the
children will feel that they are
being depended upon to prevent
accidents-and they will appreciate
the confidence bestowed upon
them.

Fire in School
R. w. Hargadine, s.

R. w. Hargadine. state fire
marshal has sent out warnings to
the people of this state in which he
says:
Last Thursday morning twenty
one little children were burned to
death in a school house fire at
Peabody, Massachusetts,.
This department wishes to
issue warning that such a terrible
accident could happen in some of
the school houses of Minnesota.
This statement is not made for the
purpose of causing uneasiness for
the parents of Minnesota school
children, but to again impress
upon all persons concerned the
necessity of eternally being on
their guard for fire prevention.

Want Hunting Grounds

A score of Vermilion lake Indians
Tuesday waited upon Congressman
c. B. Miller in the Spalding hotel
in Duluth, asking to have restored
to them rights to hunt and fish in
the Lake Vermilion territory.
The Indians several months ago
were deprived of the right by the
state game wardens on the ground
that the governments wards, even
though living on reservations, come
under the state game laws.
Congressman Miller promised to
take the matter up with the govern
ment and the state game and fish
commission.

LISTS BEING SENT
Bureau Of Naturalization Furnishing
Names Of Prospective Citizens

The Bureau of Naturalization
will, from month to month during
the current scholastic year, furnish
Supt. White with the names and
addresses of aliens residing within
his jurisdiction who file petitions
for naturalization or declarations of
intention. This will enable the
school authorities to get into touch
with such applicants and give them
valuable assistance in preparing for
citizenship.
Last year there were 2,162 per-
sons who applied for citizenship in
St. Louis County. Since July l.,
1910, 7,4O6 aliens of the county
have declared their intention and
4,O3S have filed final applications
for citizenship.
The necessity for the education
of aliens residing in St. Louis
County is clearly shown by the
following figures taken from the
latest available statistics:
The foreign-born white popula-
ton of the county in 1910 was 49,
4OS, or 46.2 per cent of the total
population. Of this number 46, ,97S
were males who had attained their
majority and only 16,745 were
shown to have been naturalized.
In 1910 there were in the county
5,72O males of voting age who
were classed as illiterates. Of this
number 5,518 were foreign-born
whites and only 90 were native
whites. the percentages of illiteracy
being III for the former and 0.5
for the latter.
Of the total foreign-born white
population 10 years of age and over
in the State of Minnesota in 1910
there were 80 $50 who were unable
to speak the English language, as
compared with 1894 in 1900, an
increase of 80 per cent in 10 years.

Heavy Ore Shipments

While ore shipments from docks
at the Head of the Lakes during
October show a falling off from the
total shipments in September, the
increase over October, 1914, was
300. 900 tons. Shipments for the
season up to Nov. l are nearly
100000 tons more than during
the same period last year. All
docks but the Great Northern at
Allouez show increases, but the
Great Northern docks are nearly
1900, 900 tons behind last year.
The figures follow:

retary, the association is offering
rural schools only an illustrated

The charts will be given as prizes

Hibbing Hotel Burned

The Hibbing Hotel, owned by
Senator John A. Healy was des-
troyed by fire early Monday morn
ing at a loss of $4,000 Seventy
FIVE guests of the hotel lost all
their clothing but escaped with
their lives. The fire started in the
kitchen apparently and had fine
start before being discovered.

earnings were considerably below
the minimum estimates. However,
the monthly returns showed a ris-
ing ratio, the net in July amount
ing to $12, ,O4S.2 .21S, August $12,-
800, ,O9e, and September $685.
327.
This would indicate that net
earnings in the fourth quarter
would run close to $45 900. 900.
and with advanced prices now be-
ing obtained. together with in
creased production, earnings of
$50, ,O00,0O0 would not be at all
surprising.
When the fact is taken into con-
sideration that earnings showed an
increase of approximately 40 per
cent over the second quarter, the
showing can be regarded as un-
usually good.

READY FOR BOOSTERS
Kansas Towns Anxious to Meet Good
Roads Party.

Letters from the Kansas towns TO
be visited by the Topeka Commercial
club on it's good roads trip, November
LIS to 20, invitations to luncheons, din
ners, and urgent calls to stop as long
as possible in each town are pouring

Every one of the twenty-four towns
included in the schedule is planning
rousing meeting for the road boosters
from Topeka, Secretary ]. Will Kelley
says.
At Usage City a Good Roads Day
is being planned for November 20
Delegations from the surrounding
towns in the county will come in, ac-
cording to H. c. Sticher, secretary OF

I'VE will arrange dinner for your

WOMEN! HERE'S ONE
Says you save S. In an hour by
dry cleaning everything
with gasoline.

Dry cleaning at home is just q sim
pie as laundering. Any woman can
clean five dollars worth in fifteen
minutes at little cost by getting from
the drug store two ounces of solvite
and put this in two gallons of gaso-
line, where it quickly dissolves. Then
immerse articles to be cleaned; rub a
little and in a few moments the gaso-
line evaporates and the articles look
bright and fresh as now.
You can dry clean silk waists,
dresses, coats, ribbons, kid gloves,
satin shoes, evening slippers, shawls,
belts, yokes. furs. boas, nuffs, neck
ties, lawns, dimity and chiffon dresses,
draperies, fine laces, lace curtains,
wooden garments, ir fact, any and
everything that would be ruined by
soap and water as dry cleaning doesn't
fade, shrink or wrinkle, making press
ing unnecessary.
Your grocer or any garage will sup
ply the gasoline and you can obtain
two ounces of solvite at the drug
store, which is simply a gasoline soap.
Then a wash boiler or large dishpan
completes your dry cleaning outfit.
AS gasoline is very inflammable, be
sure to do your dry cleaning out of
doors or in a room away from fire
or flame, with the windows left open"
