FROM RED LAKE VALLEY

"Brethern, the sower's task is done. The seed is in it's winter bed, Now let the dark-brown mold be spread
 To hide it from the sun, And leave it to the kindly Of the still earth and breeding air As when the mother from the breast Lays the hushed babe apart to rest, How sweet it's waking smile will be. The tempest now may smite the seet All night on the drowned furrow beat And winds that, from the cloudy hold, of winter breathe the bitter cold, Stiffen to stone the mellow mold Yet safe shall lie the wheat; .., Till out of heavens unmeasured blue, Shall walk again the genial year To wake with warmth and nurse with dew The germs we lay to slumber here:-

Mrs. Robertson's plan Is to be car
ried out through the cooperation OF
Mrs w. N. Sage, chairman of the
Benevolent Union block day. Today
the Benevolent Union women are
distributing envelopes to every house
in the city and tomorrow, fire pre-
vention day, those envelopes are to
be collected In the interest OF eff
ficiency and because the membership
of the Civic league and the Benevo-
lent Union are constituted OF almost
scientifically the same people, the wom-
en- who will collect the block day en-

call their attention to the necessity
for carefulness and safety against

much indebted to Mrs. Collier, presi-
dent of the Benevolent Union, and
to Mrs Sage, as chairman of the
block day committee, for this timely
cooperation in their effort to carry
out the wishes of Mayor Lotion. 1t
is hoped that every housekeeper will
be able to say to the women who
call at her door that her house, from
cellar to attic, is free insofar as she
is able to make it so, from danger OF
fire.
