HOME IN COUNTRY
BURNED TO GROUND

The two story home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Proctor, twelve miles
southwest of the city, was burned to
the ground Tuesday noon, the barn
and granary nearby being partially de-
stroyed and even the fences around
the house suffered from the dre.
Lack Of fire fighting facilities made it
almost impossible to check the blaze,
practically nothing being saved in the
house. A defective fiue is thought to
have been the cause of the fire. An
unhappy fact in connection with the
affair Is that the insurance on the
place had run out two weeks ago and
tho owner claiming no notice thereof
had failed to renew it.

for the political conventions in June,
Clark declared that ''every human be-
ing with two ideas above a Hottentot
knows that, congress is just as anx-
ious to adjourn before the conventions
as the president Is"
