KIMBERLY CHEMICAL
PROVES EFFECTIVE
Two Fires Speedily Extinguished-
Many Other Items Of Interest From
Town East.

Memories of the destructive fire
here last winter, when the Bank of
Kimberly building was destroyed,
were recalled Monday of this week,
when the. cry of fire rang out in the
village-we mean the country. 1t was
discovered that there was a fire at
the alfalfa MILL and the chemical en-
CINE was at once attached to an auto
mobile and taken to the mill. The
roof was found to be on fire, and as
the freight train had just come in
from the east, it was assumed that
sparks from the engine had caused
the fire. The roof is corrugated iron,
and this had become covered with
chaff, which would easily catch fire.
The iron had become so hot that the
sheeting and rafters underneath had
caught and in short time the entire
building would have been in flames.
Owing to the height of the fire, it
would have been practically impos-
sible to have done effective work
with bucket brigade Shortly after
the chemical was brought to bear on
the fire it was out and another dis
astrous blaze averted. Chief Atkin-
son will soon organize the two fire
companies, and as soon as the other
chemical arrives active practice will
begin.
The Elson art exhibit which was
held at the school auditorium proved
a very successful affair, both educa-
tionally and financially. A large at
tendance was present at each session

WHAT YOU SHOULD TAKE
DURING THE NEW YEAR

Take this paper.
Take comfort-if you can.
Take things easy-within
reason.
Take the only girl you love to
be your wife.
Take care of your health. It
is the most valuable thing you
have.
Take a hint when it is intend
ed for you. Don't wait to be
knocked down.
Take fattery as an insult, and
an honest compliment as some
thing to be grateful for.
Take pains to be faithful and
conscientious in business. It will
bring you success.
Take offence only at things
worth being offended at. 1t is a
sure evidence of a small mind
to notice trifes.
Take hold of any work that
comes to your hand rather than
be idle. Luck always waits up
on the busy man.
Take time to be polite and
kind always. Ruderess never
pays, the foor may think SO but
he is wrong.
Take trouble like a man. Don't
go whining about when it comes
but shut your mouth and stand
up under it resolutely.
Take a trip now and then, and
try to see something outside OF
the town you live in. Travel is
one of the greatest of educators
Take pains to do work well
The conscientious worker is The
one who gets to the front-ane
the one that never needs be idle
