MILK STATION AT
NORTH FREEDOM
IS TOTAL LOSS
Fire on Sunday Evening Wipes Out
Plant in the Village With 900
Gallons Of Fluid

On Sunday evening the pasteuriz-
ing station at North Freedom burned,
the loss being a total one Besides
the building and machinery, about 600
gallons of milk were lost. The loss
lis total, about $4,000, covered by in
ssurance. 1t islnot known how the fire
originated The. fire beneath the
boiler had been banked for the night
and when those in charge left, the
premises appeared to be in normal
condition,
The fire company responded, but
could do nothing to save the building
on account of the pressure being low
and the long distance Of the, fire from
the nearest hydrant. The department.
exerted its energies in saving nearby
buildings. e.-.r
The building was. erected in 1901
by the late John Barker, and a cream
cry was installed In 1908 the plant
was sold to Sorges of Reedsburg, and
during the past summer was again
sold to the firm which owns the con-
.densary at Reedsburg, to be used as
pasteurizing station. rs
Messrs. Garrett and ITyZellrof the
condensary firm, headquarters at Co.
'lumbus, Ohio, were at North Freedom
today and stated they would rebuild
at once, near the railroad track. In
the meantime the milk is being re-
ceived at the Johnston warehouse, and
from there will be taken to Reedsburg
by truck or train. The members of
the firm ask producers to be patient
and promise that everything will be
done. About Fl, 900 pounds of milk
are received daily Whitney Fullmer
is the North Freedom representative.

SISTER NEAR,
DID not KNOW

Mr.. and Mrs. T. w. Cole Of Boulder,

in 1868 and came back in 1881, being
called there by telegram announc-
ing his mothers serious illness, and
remined until September, when she
died. That was his last visit until he
came last Saturday.
Mr. Cole had not been in communi-
cation with his family for many years
and came anticipating a visit with
his sister, Mrs Edith Hoxie, whom
he has not seen for about thirty years.

was tempered by the information that
she lives near his home in Colorado,
where he can see her upon his return.

Wisconsin, until October and attend
the soldiers reunion at Vicksburg,
after which they will return to their
western home.

EDITORIALS
OUR WAR SITUATION,

1t does seem tina, some Of our
American citizens are trying to bring
this country into war with Germany
the capitalist, the munition plants and
a few shippers who are after making
money regardless of the loss of life.
While we know ere this time the pres
ident would have declared war if he
could have done so, we hope that the
better judgment of our congress will
refuse to drag our country into war
Our ships and merchantmen have nc
business to go over into the war zone
except for mercenary purposes. If we
will only attend to our own business
and not foreign countries, or more
specifically the British Isles, we would
make sufficient money and live happy
and peaceable, ever looking to Je-
hovah as our God and not mammon.
Let US first protect the lives of our
American citizens at home and pre-
serve the honor Of our country from
murder, lynchings and burning at the
stake.
