Fire of unknown origin caused
considerable damage to the building
occupied by J. A., Strand as a furni-
ture store in Stratford early Friday
morning. The fire evidently started
in the front room occupied by Otto
Quick as real estate Office and when
discovered had made considerable
Roadway. But for the prompt ac-
ton OF the fire department, the en-
tire building and stock would have
been destroyed in very short time.
The building is owned by. a Mr..
Franksen, a nonresident. and it Is
reported that he had no Insurance..
The loss to the building was about
four hundred dollars and the damage
to contents was from fifteen hundred
to two thousand dollars. The stock
was quite we'll covered by insurance.
Mr.. Strand is ,brother.inflaw OF
John l.. Peterson of this city. /.

Have You q Rug?

Good Fellows, have you a large
rug or some strips of carpet for
which you have no, further use? II
SO. they will be greatly appreciated
this cold weather by two or three
different families who have insuffic-
lent floor covering. In many homes
there is stored in the attic or gar
age or barn, an old rug which has
been worn threadbare or which has
seen service Id some room of the
house. Do not let it lie idle when
there are women and children in
houses with cold floors, needing the
protection of some kind of floor COW
ering. Telephone 697 or S5 and a
Boy Scout will call for it.

Not MANY "Floaters."

Fewer "floaters' or hoboes. or un-
employed men-or whatever you
have q mind to call them-have pass
ed through Webster City this winter
than for several years. Since Jan.
LIST, there have been Sc. Of these 'un-
employed men who have applied for
q place to sleep in the city Jail on
cold nights. Residents say there have
been fewer tramps asking for back
door lunches than for several years.
The reason for this is that more men
are now in employment according
to statistics prepared in the cities,
than for number Of years. Last
years army which flooded this section
as we'll as other sections of America,
seem to have, almost disappeared, at
least in this part OF the state and the
passing Of the saloon in Iowa will
have no small part In their disap-
pearance. Needless to. say that the
fact that the numbers Of foaters are
diminishing. causes no grief in this
city. The day is coming it is hoped
when every man who exists out OF
prison walls will have to earn the
bread he puts into his mouth.

GRADUATES INTO I.
AGRICULTURE WORK
Big Majority Of Them Secure En-
ployment in That Field and
Make Good.

Ames, Ia, Jan. 1S.-Special: Ag-
ricultural students at Iowa State
college are not trained away from
agriculture, but overwhelmingly
they go into agriculture when they
graduate or into closely allied work.
That fact is made clear in statistics
just gathered, by Dean c., F. Curtiss
from the members of the 1915. grad-s
uating class. OF the $50 men who
got agricultural degrees last June,
only about dozen are not at work
in the agricultural field: the re-
naming 1873 are on farms or in work
closely related to agriculture.
In detail the record shows that
the $50 graduates of 1915 are en-
gagged as follows: Farming, So;
teaching agriculture in high schools
and colleges, so; agricultural extern
sion work, 6; agricultural expert
ment station work, 5; agricultural
journalism 4; Postgraduate stu
dents in agriculture, 4; statesmen, 4;
creamery managers s.. forestry SER
vice, 5; craftsmen, 2; manufactur-
ing, q; county agricultural agent, L;
landscape work, l; silo building, i;
greenhouse work, 4; machinist, !;
advertising, /; transportation, L;
contractor, L; insurance, l.
Even among the dozen men not in
lines of work closely allied to agri-
culture, the majority are using their
agricultural training for instance,
the advertising man is. dealing large
ly with agricultural interests, and
some Of the statesmen are dealing
with farmers. The number Of teach
ers is very large because Of the in
sistent demand for agricultural
teachers that will not be denied.
Very attractive salaries are paid be-
cause the need for these specially
trained men to introduce these sub
jects in the school is great. Most
OF the agricultural teachers are plan
ming in a year or two to take up
farming directly.
