Two Fires Saturday.

About II o'clock Saturday morn
ing fire was discovered at the home
of j. B Anderson. The supposition
is that it canght from the fiue. The
fire had quite a start when discover
ed, but the prompt arrival and the
energetic work of the fire depart
ment soon had it under control. AS
the fire was between the walls and
roof several holes had to be cut in
order to put it out. The house was
badly damaged by water. Mr.. An
derson had $500 insurance on the
house and $500 on contents.
They moved their household
goods to the property recently va
Gated by c. B. Anderson.
Saturday evening Fire Chief Will
son was called to the home of f. A
Thompson. Smoke was coming out
of the roof. On investigating they
found the timbers against the f1ue
to be afire. 1t looked like the be-
ginning of a pretty big fire.
w. w. Wilson and family return
ed Friday from months visit in
Indiana and Chicago. Within an
hour after their arrival Mr.. Wilson
received a message from Nashville
Tenn. announcing the death of his
sister. He left Saturday for Kew
anee Ind to attend the funeral, re-
turning home Tuesday. ...

Have You Named Youf Farm?

The movement to have every
American farmer select a name for
his farm and use the name as a
trade mark, is meeting with great
success IN sotle parts OF the coun-
try. Many of our exchanges have
published lists of the names select
ed toc the farms of their neiehbor-
hoods, the publication acting as a
sort of a patent or copyright, 1t has
been said by some unthinking per
sons that the plan is not American,

are your stock in trade. Name them
and you have added real hard cash

to US and have letterheads made
