APPOINTS DAY FOR
FIRE PREVENTION
Gov. Burnquist Fixes October 9
as Fifth Annual Fire Pre-
vention Day in State

All progressive towns in Minnesota
will unite this year with the state
fire marshal's department in efforts
to make the state fire proof. In a
proclamation issued last week by
Governor Burnquist Monday, October
9, was designated as ''fire preven-
tion day. which day is to be ex-
clusively set apart toward further
reducing the annual fire loss of life
and property. State Fire Marshal
Hargardine suggests that mayors
in the various cities in the state is
sue proclamations urging that all
celebrations be made freless. Also
that civic and commercial organiza-
tions arrange meetings to make the
home town fire-proof. Schools should
have appropriate exercises on that day
with talks about the dangers lurking
with the small boy with match, and
like combinations. He suggests that
men and women look about the attic,
basement and back yard and remove
accumulations that make for fire
danger.
Two thirds of the fires which occur
annually are preventable according to
Marshal Hargardine who says: elf
Minnesota people will only stop to
think that the nations fire toll is
5000 lives year and $500 loss a
minute; although two thirds of the
fires are preventable, five prevention
day this year will be a big success
in every town." said Fire Marshal
Hargardine. "Every person in the
state will join in the movement be-
cause sickness and fire are nearest
to them-liable to 'strike home any
day."
Records in the fire marshal's office
show gradual reduction in the fire
losses in Minnesota, and part of the
credit for the showing is given to the
general observance of fire prevention
day each year in all cities.

winner in the motorcycle contests both
days and made the five miles in eight
minutes and twelve seconds. There
were four entries in this race on the
first day and three in the second.
The second race was the most ex-
citing. H. Pauly gave Swenson a
close run till the 9Th lap when his
wheel slipped and the rider was
thrown.
There were four entries in the auto
mobile races. J. C. Zehrer, knowing
he was to be married after the fair,
polished up the spark plugs of his
racing car and won both contests.
Zehrer lives at Chokio where he was
married Tuesday of this week.
Walter Trip and Paul Putnam ex-
perienced car troubles and Frank
Johnston, a young man from Lowry,
failed to get his engine working
property. A unique feature of this
race was that each racer drove cars
rebuilt by themselves. The narrow
ness of the track and the soft earth
prevented Zehrer from making any
thing but usual speed.
The pie eating contest was won by
Harry Hanlon on the first day and Carl
Killing on the second day. Ten young
men participated and ate pies from

MORRIS BOY HELPS
SAVE OCEAN LINER
w. ]. Munroe Credited with Act
of Heroism in Checking Fire
on Ship at Sea

W. j. Monroe, Jr., son of Editor
Monroe formerly in the newspaper
business in Morris, has achieved dis
tinction as an international hero in
saving a transatlantic liner and it's
1000 passengers. He decended into
the bunkers of the ship and fought
the fire for several hours, bringing
the flames under control and the ship
arrived safely in New York.
The giant liner caught fire in the
forward bunkers on Sept. Z, while
two days out of Liverpool. The ships S
crew was unable to check the fire and
an S. o. S. call was sent out. 1t
was answered by the Monica, sister
ship. Munro has taken to life on the
sea since leaving Morris. He is now
the third officer on board the New
York. Before taking this position he
was first officer on a passenger boat
which piled the great lakes. When
the fire was discovered Munro volun-
teered to go down into the bunkers OF
the ship and direct fighting the fire.
He donned a protector for the head
and body, used for fire fighting, anC
was lowered into the ship. He direct
ed the work until he was dragged
from the hold of the ship, unconsci-
Gus, after the fire was under control
and the shin was nrorpp6inC safely
to port.
Mr.. Munro, the boys father, is a
postofice Inspector who lives at 2O5S
Carroll avenue, St. Paul. He first
heard of his sons act from a story
printed in one of the New York pap.
ers few days ago. Last week he
received letter from his son, but nc
mention was made of the fire, and he
! does not know whether the son was
seriously injured.

KELLOGG AND BEDE
TO SPEAK TUESDAY
Political Pot Begins to Boil in
Stevens Co.-Congressman
Volstad Visits Morris

The fall political campaign has fin
ally struck Morris and from now on
considerable more interest in political
events and in the issues OF the pre-.
sent campaign may be expected than
has been apparent hitherto.
Next Tuesday evening at the ar
mory, the voters of Stevens county
will have the privilege of hearing two
of the most prominent men of the
state discuss the issues of the cam
paign from Republican standpoint
Hon. Frank B. Kellogg, candidate for
United States Senator, and Hon. J
Adam Bede. formerly congressman
and widely known as one of the most
entertaining public speakers of the
country. The two are we'll fitted to
appear on the same platform, for
Mr.. Kellogg excels in the logical and
orderly presentation of argument
while Mr.. Bede is a master of wit and
numor and illumines his address with
anecdotes and telling hits. The
voters of Stevens county are espe-
cially fortunate in having these two
we'll known men speak here. An in
vitation is extended to all to hear
them-and especially to the ladies.
Judge Quinn, of Martin county,
candidate for Supreme court justice,
was in the city on Monday, and called
upon many in the interest of his can
didacy, and impressed all as man
who is eminently fitted for the high
station which he seeks.
Congressman Volstead was also in
the city for short time on Wednesday
on his way from Glenwood to Madi-
son, where he was to speak at the
county fair. Mr.. Volstead aims tc
cover the district before election and
will visit Stevens county again later.
He has so many years of faithful Ser.
vice to his credit that it is not ex-
pected that any serious opposition
will develop. yet Mr.. Volstead will
taken nothing for granted, and will
make vigorous campaign.

SPUD PRICES FALL
DESPITE SHORTAGE
Princeton, in Heart of Potato
Belt, Began Shipping at rs
Cents Last Week

Potato consumers in Morris who
have been paying ST. so to $1.8O per
bushel for good potatoes may soon be
able to buy them at figures much be-
low the dollar mark. The city of
Princeton which boasts of being the
largest potato shipping center in the
country is offering potatoes at sew
enty-fve and eighty cents per bushel
according to former State Auditor
Dunn's Princeton Union last week
which had the following to say about
the potato situation:
"Potato prices declined sharply
Monday, and in Minneapolis tubers
dropped 40 cents per bushel, or from
ST. so to $1.1O This morning from
75c to 8Oc was being paid on the local
market. Receipts continue fair and
there is no marked change in the
quality.
"Reports from various sections of
the United States show that the
yield of potatoes in eastern growing
states will exceed that of last year,
but there is a corresponding decrease
in the Great Lake states. The
Mountain and Pacific coast states
were blessed with good crop, but
the yield in the entire country will
be some less than in 1915.
The frost of the 18th, 18th and
18th injured northern potato crop
prospects. .4
Wisconsin was more seriously
affected than other states. Reports
vary at the different loading points,
but all say the frosts have affected
the crop, and will cause an even
lighter yield than was predicted be-
fore the cold weather came. In most
place the vines were killed, prevent
ing further growth, and inasmuch as
| the potatoes were small at the time
it is estimated only half to two-thirds
will be of marketable size.
Minnesota was not affected as
seriously by the frost as Wisconsin
particularly because the crop was
further advanced, The production at
practically all stations, however, is
lighter than last year. according tC
the reports. 1t is believed that the
crop in Michigan escaped frost dam
age. The cold spell was experienced
there, but the nights were cloudy,
and the vines evidently survived
the frost. Reports from the prin.
cipal sections say that the crop has
not been affected to any particular
extent. and the state is expected tc
have fair crop. although it will be
considerably behind last year.
Estimates from Colorado are bright.
er than from other sections, and with
larger acreage than last year, it is
reported the crop is from three-quar.

THAT EXTRA SESSION

If Governor Curtis decides to call a
special session Of the Legislature to
pass upon the revision Of the statutes. it
will be impossible to set any date for the
session until the revision matter is set
tied, which will not be for several weeks.
II don't like the expense Of a special
session Of the Legislature" said Gov.
Curtis today, but it might make seri-
Gus confusion if the approval Of the Re-
vised Statutes is allowed to go over until
the regular session, owing to the features
of the initiative and referendum law
which would not make the repeal OF an
old law and the enactment Of a new one
until 80 days after the adjournment unless
passed under the emergency clause,
which requires two-thirds vote of each
branch. Even if that occurred unless it
were done Immediately it would make a
confusion in the legislature in amending
laws.
1T will be remembered" continued
Gov. Curtis, that at the time of the last
revision of the statutes at an adjourned
meeting Of the Legislature in 1903 there
was no referendum law. If the last
Legislature had adjourned until a speci-
fed time the laws passed by that Legis-
lature would not become effective until
80 days after the adjourhed meeting"

THE FISH AND GAME
OUTING JUNE 1880
JULY AT RANGELEY

The time and place of the next mid
summer outing Of the Maine Sports
mems Fish and Game Association has
been decided upon by the executive
committee of that organization. Noun
tain View House, Rangeley Lakes. Is
the place, and the dates are Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, June 1880 and
July 1.
Two years ago the outing was held
there, and although a week Of rain
kept many auto parties at home, the
hotel was filled and everyone pro-
nounced it an ideal spot. With any
kind of weather this year 1t is be-
lieved that all records for attendance
at the outing can easily be broken.
For majority Of the members it will
mean a shorter and less expensive trip
than to Kineo, where the gathering
was held last year, and auto parties
can go all the way in their cars. The
committee regretted that it will mean
a longer trip than last year for the
Aroostook and Bangor contingents, but
made the choice after thoroughly con-,
|sidering all the other places suggested
There will be big program Of
shooting and other sports, and it is
believed that with the growing inter-
est in rifle shooting, the contests will
this year attract more riflemen than
ever before. Billy Hill, the Reming-
ton-U. NJ. C. expert has promised to ba
present and give an exhibition. It is
hoped that Col ]. ]. Dooley can have
charge Of the shooting, the same as
last year. Col. Dooley is now with the
Savage Arms people, specializing on
the Lewis machine gun, with head.
quarters in New YORK. and may not be
able to come to Maine but he is going
to let the committee know in few
weeks.
