No one else can never take that

out for the father or mother. In such
case the woman suffers most. she is

Eliminating Alcohol

The Master Brewers association meeting in New

suggested that steps be taken TO eliminate spurious
liquors with their high alcoholic content and to retain
IN saloons nothing stronger than beer and the ghtest
Of wines.
It thought by of the brewers that the adop
on Of TO lower the alcoholic percentage OF
beer making it merely stmuative and not intOxicat-
ing might prove substitute for prohibition It would
leave those who desired to continue drinking
of exercising their personal liberty" while It would

the liquor traffic. the feature Of drunkenness with its
demoralizing and debasing tendencies.
The experiment is worth trying. Anything to reduce
misery and crime by reducing the consumption of highly
alcoholic drinks IS worth while Whether decreasing
the alcoholic content in beer and substituting that
weakened beverage and very light wine for strong drink
would check the tendency Of the whole country TO
adopt prohibition, remains to be The brewers

DONNELLY SWEPT
BY 100000 FIRE
Most of Business District De-
stroyed; Morris Firemen
Render Aid

A FIRE that started in the rear of
R. w. Essington's restaurant at
Donnelly about a. m. yesterday and
spreading, destroyed in turn the con-
fectionery of Wroot brothers, H. C.
HJemhus pool hall, j. W. Browns s
general merchandise store, J. E.
Peterson's Hardware sore, Overson
and Roan's general merchandise store
and large dwelling owned by j.
M. Waggoner before it was checked.
The brick wall of the State Bank of
Donnelly next to Essington's restaur-
ant was the only barrier between
the railing flames and the few remain
ing hnildings of the business section.
The lose is variously estimated from
$1OO, 900 to 5000, 900.
TIE fire would have been compara-
lively easy to put out at the time

the city marshal if the city fireworks
had not been disconnected while a
new we'll was being dug. The new
we'll was completed yesterday and on
ly a days work on the connections re-
mained to have the city water-works
in working order.
The Morris and Herman fire COM
panies were called and responded at
once, taking their chemical fire ap.
paratus with them. The chemical ap-
paratus was the only factor that saved
the entire residence sections from the
flames. About sixteen fremen were
rushed to Donnelly from both Morris
and Herman. Steady streams of wat
er and the use of chemicals prevented
the State Bank of Donnellly from
being gutted by flames. The flames
lighting up the early morning skies
could be plainly seen in Morris. L
was not until 6 a. m. that the flames
were under control. The fire spreaC

saving by the Minnesota rate cases
to the people who pay the freight,
that is, the shippers and receivers,
amounts to more than 81, 500, 900. 90.
During the two years that intervened
between the decision of Judge Sanborn
restoring the old rates and the Hughes
decision, claims for excess charges on
freight and passenger rates accrued
to the amount of approximately $3,-
900, 100000. This has been restored
to the people of the state through re-
funds collected in large part through
the agency of the Railroad and Ware
house Commission. The reductions
affected were approximately as follows
On general merchandise, from 20
to 25 per cent; on grain, lumber,
livestock and coal, an average of 10
per cent; on passenger fares, 33 per
cent.
Following is a comparative table of
a few specimen rates showing in one

freight at certain Minnesota points
previous to the adoption of the Min
nesota rate and in the corresponding

Commission and sustained by the

a time it seemed as if the entire town
would be destroyed by the confagra-

his household goods into the street.
A Great Northern freight train
stopped at Donnelly on seeing the fire
and after backing the freight cars on
the siding out of danger the crew as
sisted in fighting the flames and $50
gallons of water was taken from the

Fields events for both boys an girls
will be held in the morning, the prin-
cipal attractions being a girls basket

war between the freshmen and upper
classmen will furnish the most amuse-
ment for the afternoon games and
athletic events. The freshmen will
take their stand on one side of the
farm school pond and the older stu
dents on the other, and to win the
freshmen or upper classmen must pull
the other across the pond. Climbing
a CREASED pole and a football game
between the Freshmen and upper

events. A pow-wow and supper

FIVE MEN HURT IN
GARAGE EXPLOSION
Two May Die; Building Wrecked
When Gasoline Explodes at
Clinton

Martin Rasmussen and eighteen
year old son Melvin of Clinton, are in
a critical condition today, Ray Wheel
er and Anton Sherman are burned
and shaken as a result of an explo-
sion of a barrel of gasoline which ex-
ploded in the garage owned by Mr..
Rasmussen at Clinton, Saturday at 5
p. m. Peter Hoxtet, a farmer, who
was driving past the garage, was
thrown from his wagon upon the
pavement and sustained severe
body bruises. Six automobiles which
were in the garage were blown
to pieces. The explosion was heard
by persons living 10 miles distant.
The loss will run into the thousands.
According to the Rev. E. o. Olsen,
pastor of the Frog Lake Lutheran
church, who has visited the injured
men, the explosion was caused by the
draining of barrel of high test gaso-
line too near hot stove that was in
the rear of the garage. The explo-
sion wrecked the building and shook
the six automobiles that were in the
garage into a twisted mass of scrap
iron.
Mr.. Rasmussen and his son were
so badly burned and scalded about
the face and hands as to be unre-
cognizable when visited by the Rev.
Olson. Their condition is critical
because of internal injuries result
ing from inhaling the blazing gaso-
line.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Griffith and
Frank Griffith of Morris, were motor
ing to Graceville when they heard
the explosion and drove to the scene
of the wreck. They found the build,
ing in ruins and pieces of the building
and wrecked automobiles scattered
over mile of territory.

BIRTHDAY OF OLD
RESIDENT OBSERVED
Friends Surprise A. A. Stone On
Sixty-Third Anniversary
Monday Night.

The evening hours of the sixty
third birthday anniversary of A. A.
Stone, Sr., were made happy when 80
officers and Sunday school teachers of
the Congregational church assembled
at his home Monday night. 1t was
a pleasant surprise for Mr.. Stone.
A most enjoyable evening was spent
by the guests in playing games and
conversing with Mr.. Stone. Refresh
ments were served later in the eve
ming.
Observing eyes discovering that
Mr.. Stones Bible had become worn
from daily use in the search of truth
and the desire to know how he could
best serve Christ had decided that a
new Bib'e would be the most useful
and appreciated gift. Contributions
were given to the Rev. F. A. Stew
er, pastor of the Congregational
church, to present to Mr.. Stone for
the purchase of new book of his
own selection.
The pastor had thought of some
very pleasant and timely remarks for
the presentation of the purse, but up
on arising to deliver the gift, the
thoughts of how true a friend Mr..
Stone had been to the church and to
every phase of moral and social uplift
in Morris, his heart was filled so full
of deep appreciation that the words
he had intended to speak were not
forthcoming and he could only present
the gift with but few words. Mr..
Stone received the gift with equal
feeling and appreciation.
Mr.. Stone came to Morris in 1875
and has ever since been a tireless
worker in the Congregational church
and Sunday school and his many deeds
of charity and kindness will be known
no better than as told by the bene-

Probably no more startling illustration of
the defenseless condition of the American
farmer has been given than that contained
in the news announcement that a million
bushels Of Argentine corn has been dumped
upon the Peoria market.
Peoria is the center Of the corn region Of
America. Under the Underwood | Iarif
Law, all farm products are open to compe-
htion, with the exception Of the rice prod
uct Of the South. Cotton is on the free
list, but it has no competition. During the
present war III farmer has been absoIved
from the danger Of competition because the
armies OF Europe were using all the avail
able product, and because ocean freight
rates have been so high it is difficult to ship
into the United States but in spite of these
conditions, and in spite Of the fact that
ocean rates are almost prohibitive, Argen-
tine corn is being placed on the American
mar ket at price less than that which the
American farmer obtains.
lhe announcement of this shipping
should be a warning to every American
farmer, and especially to those in the mid
die west W here cereals are raised This
