what ratio is that and how can l in

The ratio of driver to driven is ex-

By decreasing the number of teeth on

Acid should never be poured into .

o standing too long discharged. Only

distilled water. Charge at a two aia-

has been thoroughly cleaned and car
bon removed, new exhaust valves in
stalled, and also new brushes. The

there is a valve pound" or a clat,

No. 4 will be on exhaust and the ex-

FIRE DESTROYS
LOCAL SAW MILL
Dane Lumber Co. Saw Mill Burned to
Ground at 3 A. M. Origin Tn
known No Insurance.

The saw mill at Askov, owned
by Dane Lumber Co., was burned
to the ground early this morning.
Martin Sorensen, one of the
owners, was the first man at the
scene. being there about $3.50 a.
m. The fire had then been burn
ing about half an hour and had
already gained such headway
that it was impossible to save the
burning building. The church
bell was Immediately rung and
many citizens gathered and aided
in protecting other buildings by
throwing water on them. A west
to northwesterly wind was the
only thing that saved the entire
yard from being enwrapped in
flames. Without any fire pro-
lection whatsoever here in Askov
we can consider ourselves lucky
that there was no high wind. for
had the fire spread it would un-
doubtedly have involved DR.. p.
N. Fenger's residence, the church
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1916-11-30

and all the other residences on
the east side.
The origin Of the fire Is un-
known, but the engine was used
yesterday afternoon. Burning
embers left there might be the
cause.
There was no insurance on the
saw mill SO it is a total loss. II
was erected and put into use the
spring Of 1907 and has served 4
good purpose to the community.
As the saw mill business has
gradually dwindled down year
by year, 1t would hardly pay ID
rebuild. Mr.. Sorensen said this
morning that he had undoubted-
ly sawed his last piece of timber.
He estimated the saw mill to be-
worth at least S700. The boiler
and planer may not be entirely
ruined. The lumber yard which
I is covered by insurance was
saved.
The town board has engaged
Morten Mortensen to be on guard
at the fire for the day.

Why soil expensive linen when a
little care would prevent?
If every employee in a large
office wastes but one sheet of
paper a day, and every guest
burns hours of needless light,
the yearly cost is enormous. If
a hotel can save but cent day
room on soap, it means yearly
saving of $500 in a hotel with
500 rooms. If every bundle that
goes out of a department store
has half a cents worth of need
less paper and twine, the loss is
a large item in the firms annual
profit and loss account.
A certain restaurant found that
it cost $4,000 a year to supply
bread and butter gratis. and by
charging but ten cents for this
service turned a loss of $4,000
into a profit of $4,000. That is
good management, however much
we may grumble at the ten-cent
tax.
Success in business, success in
life, is matter of applying thrift
principals to little things. We
too often forget that dimes make
dollars. And as waste counts up
fast, so savings grow a pace. If
you were allowed to go over the
books of any savings bank you
would find hundreds of accounts
that show steady systematic saw
ing. 1t may be but a dollar or
two week, but in the long run
it mounts up. A certain young
lawyer in New York who was
once a pack peddler made it a
steady habit when a boy to save
fifty cents weekly. and he was as
regular as the clock. 1t was the
beginning of successful career.

THRIFT IN LITTLE THINGS

Don't take the top sheet is
the order issued by a large in
surance company to its employees
when taking stationery from the
stock room. The reason is, the
top sheet is soiled and dusty and
must be thrown away, only to
leave another top sheet to be-
come soiled and wasted.
Over the electric button in a
large hotel is the request: I'VE
would appreciate the favor if you
will turn out the light when leav-
ing the room." Some hotels fur
nish a large cake of soap for each
room daily, whether the guest
changes or not, the bulk of which
is wasted, while other hotels fur
nish small cake just large
enough for a days use. Some
hotels have the heavy and costly
counterpanes laundered every
day, while others have the maids
turn the covers back each night
to avoid soiIing.
The reason for these small
economies is not niggardliness,
but good management. Of what
use is a large cake of soap when
a small one answers the same
purpose? Why burn the light
when YOU are out of room!
