Fire Losses in Stevens County

During the year ended December
81, 1916, the fire loss in Stevens
county was greater than during the
corresponding period in 1915.
Reports issued by Robert w. Har.
gadine, Minnesota State Fire Mar.
shall, show that during the year there
were "a fires with an aggregate loss
of $6O,122.
During the previous twelve months
the loss was $13, 1852 from 16 fires in
Stevens county.
An increase of 8 fires and of $40, :
397 in losses.
beyond doubt the people of Ste
VEINS county are willing to have the
fire loss materially reduced,' says the
Fire Marshal. The heavy increase
in Stevens county was due to the big
fire at Donnelly in November. "The
only manner in which this can be done
is by cooperation and an organized
effort on the part of the people to-
ward, fire prevention.
"In many counties the compare
tive loss from fire during the last
year has been considerably reduced,
and this department is ready at any
time to lend its assistance in elimin-
ating any danger GUS condition which
tends to a reduction of the annual loss
in Stevens county,"

FORWARD PLANS OF

Better Telephone System Want
ed for Alberta; Entertain
ment on March 3

One of the most important meetings
of the Alberta Commercial Club since
it's organization was held last Thurs
day evening. Many new and interest
ing discussions were heard regarding
the welfare, advancement and develop
ment of the village and community
as we'll, some of which were the in
BtallatiOn of a revised telephone sys-
tenn for the city. A committee of
three members were appointed to in
vestigate the matter with telephone
managers of the various lines enter
ing the city to find out what could be
done. The matter has already been
taken up with telephone men and no
doubt it will not be long before AL
berta can compare with many towns
twice its size in regard to telephone
service. The matter of giving free
entertainment in Braun's hall, March
Bird for the benefit of the farmers and
village citizens was also brought up
and all arrangements to have a grand
time upon that date we're decided up
on. T, M. Lotus, Geo, A, Johnson
and Prof. Graffelman were appointed
to look after the program and we I'M
derstand very nice program has al
ready been outlined by the committee
in charge. A committee was also ap-
pointed to assist in the arrangements

Keep Farm Hand Busy

Investigations indicate strongly that
farm operators who keep their help
employed at productive labor the lar
gest number of hours during the year
secure the best returns from their
farms, says W. L. Cavert of the
agricultural extension division, Uni
versity of Minnesota. This being
true, it is important that every farm
er should look over his program for
the winter and determine whether or
not there is possibility of employ
ing labor on proft-bearing enterprises.
Winter dairying, livestock feeding,
and various other forms Of winter en-
pIOyment are suggested.
Whether more livestock feeding
should be undertaken will depend
somewhat on the amount of feed stuffs
available. Time spent in calculating
the amount of feed on hand and the
probable demands of each class of
stock is one form of profitable en-
ployment for the farm owner. If a
surplus of rough feeds is on hand it
would be well to purchase few feed
ers or stockers that are just now sell
ing at reasonable figure. Through
these the feed and roughage can be
converted into cash, and at the same
time larger supply of valuable fert-
ilizing material for increasing next
years crops can be obtained.
