SPECIAL EFFORT 70
eliminate FIRES

A special campaign has been COM
menced by Robert w. Hargadine,
state fire marshal, to free all eleva-
tors, warehouses, storehouses and
structures where all kinds of food
stuffs are stored or kept, from every
fire hazard.
The work began in the district Sc
questered by the state safety COM
mission in Minneapolis. In that dis
trict, where an enormous supply of
foodstuffs is manufactured and stor,
ed extra precautions have been taken
to prevent fires. Twenty-Five struc-
lures which are considered fire haz-
ards have been ordered demolished
and other buildings subjected to a
thorough inspection, and hazardous
conditions ordered corrected to pre-
vent fires
Realizing that every ounce of the
states and nations resources must
be conserved, this department is en-
listing the cooperation of fire chiefs
and fire prevention societies through
out the state in the prevention of
waste through fires.
If Governor Burnquist and other
leaders, are urging the people to
help conserve the resources of the
state, and farmers are being prevail
ed upon to cultivate every available
acre for more food products, it
would be most reprehensible to- per-
NIT this same food, the stored power
that will influence the destiny of
nations, to be destroyed in fire in
viting warehouses and storage build
ihgs.>
Despite the enormous American
fire losses in the first three months
of 1916, which aggregated $82,376,-
800, the loss for the first three
months Of this year in this country
was $83,539,430. There were 49 fires,
each of which caused a property loss
Of 100000 or more, and the largest
losses during March were to grain
elevators. Therefore, special steps
are being taken to guard the flour
mills and elevators of Minnesota
from destruction by fire.
The state fire marshal asks the CO.
operation of all the citizens of Min
nesota in his efforts to eliminate
fires from carelessness and incendiar-
ism. \ 49, =

CLEANUP DAY next
- FRIDAY AND SATURDAY

The village council has designated
Saturday of this week as the time
when all cleaning Of yards should be
completed, and Friday and Saturday,
May 18th and 18th, as the time when
a special effort is to be made in
cleaning yards and allies.
Most of the residents in the vii
lage have already completed their
spring cleaning and the yards look
very attractive this year, but as a
reminder to the delinquents, this
time is set to get real busy and
make our village look little cleaner,
prettier and a more pleasant place
to live in than it ever was before,
and that would be ''going some."
1t is likely that the council will
make their annual inspection of the
village yards shortly after next Sat-
urday, and it has been intimated
that they will: haye with them a
photographer who will take pictures
of places which do not come up to
the standard, and also of the places
which are made especially attractive.
We do not know how these pictures
will be displayed but the village fa-
theirs will likely find some way of
exhibiting them to the public.
There are good reasons why we
should try to make our village look
a little more attractive this summer
than it ever did before. We will
have more visitors this summer than
we ever had, both from Canada and
the States, and we will want to show
them our village with pride. Gardens
should be kept better this year than
they ever were kept before, and a
well-kept garden adds considerable
to the beauty of the place.
1t is not at all likely that the vii
lage council will find many places
subject to criticism when they make
their visit, but be prepared for
them. Don't put that raking off too
long.-And we had better do a good
job as their standard might be quite
high this year.

The Devil Writes to the Kaiser
(De-coded by Eugene H. Blake of
the Vigilantes)

(De-coded by Eugene II. Blake of
the Vigilantes.)
Imperial Yacht, River styx.
My Dear Kaiser;
I have followed the Styx seven
times around hades looking for
sailors to send up to help man your
submarines. But they all refuse,
although I did come near signing
up Capt. Kidd. who has been here
since 1901.
Kidd" told him. wilhelm Of
Prussia is in trouble. He offers
extra pay. longer furloughs and
special food to German sailors to
man his submarines. but they don't
like the work. Here's a chance for
a good job. You can take your crew
up. command a German submarine
and sink more ships in a day than
you ever destroyed in your life
time"
He seemed to like the idea until
he had talked with some of his
crew-Bathoiomew Roberts, who
came down in 1922, after his battle
with Capt. Chaloner on the African
coast; Capt. Every and a Malay
Kids Finally he came back to
me and said he wouldn't go. told
him you were one Of my best friends
and helpers, but all could get out
of him was that his crew would
mutiny IL they, had to kill women
and children. 'Wilhelm's subma-
rining is too dirty" he kept repeat
ing. 'Id rather stay in hades.'
I'm sorry haven't been able to
send you q crew from here, but that
is the way the matter stands.
Yours for victory.
