BITTER COLD HAMPERS FIRE DE.
PARTMENT IN EFFORT TO
CHECK BLAZE.
BUILDING is VALUED $4,000
Flames Shoot Into Air Following an
Explosion, and Building and
Contents are Totally
Destroyed.

Amigo. - Following an explosion
heard all over this city. fire broke out
in the high school here and destroyed
the building. The fire department was
hindered in its work by the cold. The
thermometer registered % degrees be-
low zero.
The building, which was valued at
$4,000, exclusive of books and equip
ment, was fire trap, according to UNI
derwriters. They said that it would
have been impossible for all pupils to
escape had the blaze occurred in the
daytime. About 625 high school and
grade students attended classes in the
building.
Insurance on the structure amount
ed to $4,000 and $1,000 on equipment.
Not an article was saved. Records of
pupils, prizes and class requests were
lost.
A strong wind carried flaming shin
giles many blocks and it was with diff
ficulty that the fire was kept from
spreading. The home of former Con-
gresham E. A. Morse caught fire, but
the blaze was extinguished before it
did much damage. Ice and snow on
the roofs of buildings prevented the
spread of the fire.
Three congregations have offered
the use OF their churches and base
ments to the school board to be used
for classes. Other rooms are available
in the city hall and courthouse.
The construction of a new building
will be a serious problem as the city
is now bonded almost to the limit.

EsTfMA TED THAT 1,4ss, 800
POUNDS OF PRODUCT WAS
MANUFACTURED.
SALES SHOW FALLING OFF
parry Boards Handle 571,474 Pounds
Less Than in t914-Averaqe
Price for the Year Was
1434 Cents per Pound.

Sheboygan.-Although the average
price for American cheese on the Wis
consin dairy boards reached II cents
per pound in December, the average
for the year was IAN cents per pound.
There was a falling off of 571, 474
pounds sold over the dairy board as
compared to 1914, the closing of the
Seymour and Mineral Point boards for
the year and that of the Muscoda
board in August being the principal
reason, although there was a falling
off of nearly 100000 pounds on the
Plymouth board due to the Sheboygan
County Cheese Federation handling
the product for many of the factories
in this county.
But at that the two boards in She
boygan county, at Sheboygan and Ply
mouth handled practically three
fourths of the cheese sold over the
boards in the state in 1915, or a total
of 6,O2S, 500 pounds.
The reports of the five dairy boards
in Wisconsin for 1915 show that 1877
Ais boxes totaling S,2S7734 pounds
were sold for $1,222,44S14.
1t is variously estimated that the
sales on the boards represents only
from Is to 20 per cent of the total
cheese manufactured in the state.
Granting that it represents 20
per cent of the total, it would
show that 41,4SS, 1920 pounds of Amer
lean cheese was manufactured in Wis
consin last year for which the farmers
and factory men received Sc, liz, 24O 70.
The average price for each month in
1915 follows: January, 14A cents;
February, 151s; March, 143s; April,
IAN May, 1915; June, 141a; July, IA;
August, 131s September, 1874; Octo-

WILSON NOTE
Colonel PiIories President for
Policy, No Matter How
Berlin May Act.
CBy New York Sun service).

New York, April 1s-CoI. Roosevelt
gave out a statement today saying that
II Germany now does as President Will
son demands, it will prove that Germany
would have given in when he wrote the
strict accountability note If he had taken
the proper position at that time thus
preventing the Lusitania disaster, and
And If Germany does not do as the
President demands, the Colonel said, the
strict accountability note is unpardon-
able
The ColoneIs statement, which thus
pillories Mr.. Wilson's action, whatever
its effects on Germany may be, said:
Fourteen months ago the Presidents s
strict accountability note to Germany,
If it meant anything, meant at least
what the present note means.
If Germany now does as the President
demands, it will be proof positive that
II he had chosen to take the proper po-
sition at the time Of the original strict
accountability note, the lives of all these
women and children, and other noncom-
batants would have been saved and the
causes Of friction with Germany would
have been removed.
IF, on the other hand, Germany does
not do as requested, it is we'll to re-
member that such a note as the strict
accountability note fourteen months ago
is objectionable, unless it is backed by
the deeds to make the words good.
'Tf 1t was meant to be taken seri-
ously and to produce results, it should
have been accompanied by immediate and
thorough-going preparation, whereas, as
a matter Of fact, We are not now
stronger by a man, or a rifle, or a boat,
or a gun; and Of the same amount Of
ammunition we have manufactured, a.
part was furnished to the villistas, who
used 1t against our troops, and some has
since been furnished to the Carranzistas
who have likewise used it against our
troops"
