Traer, April 10.-F'ire of unknown
origin shortly after I o'clock Monday
night completely destroyed the compar-
atively new $4,000 Traer high school
building in the short time OF one hour.
The Traer fire whistle first sounded
at 1880 Monday evening and by the
time the fire department reached the
school building the fire had spread thru,
the entire attic. A tile roof kept the
flames from going up but at the same
fighters to reach the flames.
A lack of water pressure also proved
a severe handicap. The fire, continued
to gain Roadway and in a few minutes
the interior of the building was mass
Of flames. Floors soon fell and in
one hour after the fire started the high
school was a complete wreck.
The loss on the building will be part
ly covered by insurance.
The school was built five years ago
and housed the grades Of the public
school as we'll as the high school.
The structure was of brick with a
tile roof and was modern In every
respect being considered one of the
finest school buildings for its size in
the state.
Just what started the fire was a
mystery Monday night The flames
are supposed to have originated In the
attic and the only source suggested was
defective wiring,
Plans for erecting another new build
ing will undoubtedly be made i'm
mediately.

Wants Flag to Fly
From, Court House;
Rotary Club Acts

| Irritated by the neglect Of the board
of supervisors in not keeping a flag
| flying from the tower of the court
house. the Rotary Club has presented
| the county with flag. The absence
Of flag on the court house, especially
since the nation declared war, has
been common cause for criticism of
the board. Presenting that the super
visors would not, or had not pur-
chased flag, the Rotary Club bought
one for the county.
The presentation was made to the
county thru the district court this
forenoon, the board Of supervisors not
| being in session. In behalf of the club
| a wool bunting flag 7x10 feet, was
presented for the club by commit
| tee, composed Of c. Fl. e. Boardman.
Fred NJ. Wilbur, and Rev. b. r. Mar
| tin. The presentation was made by
Mr.. Boardman.
With the flag was filed formal ad-
! dress to the court and the supervisors
| that reads:
ITO the Honorable District Court Of
| the State of Iowa, in and for Mar
shall County, and to the Board Of SUI
pervisors Of Marshall County, Iowa:
1.-THE Rotary Club of Marshalltown,
Iowa, believe that it Is fitting that
there ever float over the court house
| OF Marshall county the flag Of our
country.
THE building typifies our municipal
government and its courts of Justice
| all part and parcel Of our country's
| organization.
"Old Glory represents not only what
| our country stands ever for, but the
high spirit OF patriotism which actu-
ates our own people.
"The Rotary Club therefore presents
to the people Of Marshall county this
| flag, as emblematic Of all these things,
which flag carries with 1t the personal
pledge OF our entire organization that
all our members will do their part in
service to our country.
| I'VE respectfully request such APP
propriate order in the premises as will
float this flag over the court house Of
Marshall county under the proper
rules governing such display.
Respectfully submitted,
"B. F. Martin,
..sAEs Fred M. Wilbur,
&c. H. E. Boardman,
Committee
Judge J. NJ. Parker on behalf Of the
court, accepted the flag and responded.
Judge Willett said that a special
page Of the court records would be set
| aside for record of the presentation
and an order that he will make which.
he said, would be in effect that It
would be "in order for the supervis-
| ors to float the flag from the court
house.
Supervisor Jones today expressed his
| regret that it was necessary for any
one to remind the supervisors Of their
duty in such matter. Without hav-
ing authority from the board, he or
| dered flag purchased this forenoon.
So now the court house has two flags.
Supervisor Jones places the respon-
| sibility for there not being flag on
the court house on Chairman Lynch,
of the board. Lynch is chairman Of
the buildings and grounds committee.
1T is simply case Of neglect" said
Supervisor Jones. Last year, when I
was chairman Of the building and
grounds committee, bought flags for
tho building, altho the board never
gave me authority to do So" He said
the question Of buying flag had not
been brought up at recent meetings
Of the board.

GLOW to Manage a Wife"

The above was the title of the fol-
lowing prize essay by the late Dr.. {.
f. Deems Of New York:
Manage? What is that? Does
il mean to control? We manage a
horse. We use our superior human
intellect to control and guide his SUI
perior physical strength so as to
obtain the best results. But W
is not a horse. When two persons
are well married, the wife is as SUI
perior to the husband in many re-
spects as he is superior to her in 9TH
ers If happiness is to be the result
of the union. the first business of the
husband is to manage himself, so as
to keep himself always his wife's re-
spectacle friend, always her tender
lover, always her equal partner. al
ways her superior protector. This
will necessarily stimulate the wife to
be his admiri1g friend, always MS
affectionate sweetheart, always his
confiding ward And this will so re-
act upon the husband that his love
for his wife will glow so as to make
II easy for him, with all his faults, to
hear with all the intirmities of his
enc and only Wife"
