HIGH WIND FANS
FIRE AT ENOLA
Sweeps Three Dwellings CauS-
ing Loss of $500; Aid
Sent From City

Famed by thirty-fve-mile wind,
fire early this morning destroyed three
dwelling houses on State Road, Enola.
The fire started in single house,
owned by James Strominger, and rap
idly spread to the adjoining pair also
owned by Mr.. Strominger. The loss
on the three houses and furniture is
more than $500.
The families living in the double
houses are: Charles Putt and Mrs.
Annie Waltz, both of whom suffered
heavy losses in furniture.
Carries Wife to Safety
The fire started in the bedroom of
Mrs. Strominger when lamp eNplod-
ed shortly after l o'clock. Her
screams attracted the attention of her
husband who came to her rescue. She
was unable to leave the room because
of being slightly paralyzed. After car
rying his life TO a place of safety Mr..
StTominger returned to save some of
his property, but the house was a mass
OF names.
Five Have Narrow Escapes
Mrs. Putt and her four children also
had narrow escapes from the burn
ing dwelling adjoining the Strominger
residence. The third house was oc-
cupied by Mrs. Waltz. after arousing
her boarders, she began to carry her
furniture TO places of safety.
At one time during the fire the
flames threatened to destroy a block
on a back street, and the home of
-. r. Bailer was on fire several times.
An appeal for help was sent to the
Friendship steamer and the Washing
ton chemical responded.
Mr.. Strominger's loss on the three
houses and his furniture will be nearly
$500 covered by insurance. Mr..
Puts loss. is about $500 not insured
and Mrs. Waits loss will be $500, also
uninsured.
Owing to the scarcity of water the
services of the Enola fire companies
was practically useless, after the ar
rival of the Friendship steamer water
was pumped over a half a mile.

Gated at 1894 South Tenth avenue.
Nos 1 and 4 responded, but owing to
the distance from the nearest hydrant
nineteen hundred feet, sufficient
water could not be had to stay the

prevent the complete destruction of
the building The cause of the fire
is of unknown origin. The loss is es
timated at $4,000 Insurance $1,000.

POINTS FOR POULTRY RAISER

A little salt in the mash food dur
ing the winter is an advantage, though
not enough should be used to make it
taste salty.
All of the kitchen and table waste is
good for the fowls, unless it contains
a lot of salt, and it may be fed mixed
in the mash or merely as scraps, in
trough at midday.
A good way to find out what the re-
quirements of well-bred fowls are,
is to visit a poultry show and study
the exhibits, talk with the exhibitors
and question the judge.
Although damaged grain, sweepings,
screenings, ETC., can be bought for
comparatively low prices sometimes,
they are not an economical food be-
cause they contain so little available
food that will nourish the hen and
make eggs.
1t is the abuse and not the use of
corn that condemns it as a poultry
food.
The keeping and care of flock of
pure-bred birds is a pleasure, where
the keeping and care of a flock of
mixed birds is task.
Do not feed more food of any kind
in troughs or in the scratching litter
than the fowls will eat up in a reason
able time, because any that remains is
likely to spoil and be detriment to
the fowls as well as a waste to the
owner.

Average Mans Honesty

A banker who. for the first time in
his life, has come into intimate con-
tact with poverty-stricken folk. says:
THE average man wants only half a
chance to be honest
This is thing worth learning, re-
marks the Toledo Blade. But 1t did
not require visits to the slums to find
il out. A little thought would have
served as well. The mass of people
is constituted of average men. The
mass has the power to do whatever it
wills TO do. 1t could, If it wished,
rise In the night and strip the rich
bare, and since 1t is the mass that
represents the majority viii, it could,
so far as the law is concerned, 60 I'M
punished.
But the average man is honest. The
mass wants nothing Of bloodshed and
robbery. Those who possess are safe
from those who have nothing. Our
banker friend who visited poverty row
used his eyes. His remark shows
that for most Of his years. he hadn't
on this particular subject, used his
brains.

hospital, where she could have medical
attention and the care of trained
nurses.
In the days of her active life, during
the pioneer days of this pinery, Mrs.
Durkee was untiring in her efforts to
lend a helping hand to those in dis
tress and assisting and encouraging
the young to better manhood and wo-
manhood. She was a true Christian
woman, a devoted member of the Bap-
JlSLv Ou6 VI uOUl6 CudIdC-

and Edward Durkee, of Schofield, Mrs.

her wide circle Of devoted friends.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE

An interesting teachers institute
was conducted,in the Marathon Coun-
ty Training school building last Fri
day. A large number of Marathon
county teachers were in attendance to
hear matters of Importance dealing
with school work discussed. Among
the various subjects given over to dis
cussion, the warm noon lunch plan
was topic of vital Importance. Where
this plan is carried out the children of
the rural districts, in addition to
bringing their dinners to school, are
served warm lunches, the pupils fur
nisning the food. Soup is one of the
warm dishes used in addition to their
dinners. The warm noon lunch was
discussed by Miss Stella Jane Hayden
of the Agricultural school, and by four
teachers who are using this plan,
namely: Miss Anastatia Murphy, prin-
cipal of the Rothschild grade school,
Miss Anna Spindler, teacher of school
No. 2, town of Day, Miss Lydia
Schmidt, school No. 4, town of Bright
on, and Sanders Hayum of No 8, town
of EaStOn.
A demonstration of this plan fol-
lowed the talks and all were con-
WINGED of its success.
Among others on the program dur
ing the two days were w. E. Larson,
rural school inspector, Randall John
son, Miss Minnie Thompson and Miss
Edith Hamacher of the Training
school; ]. E. Giessel, county superin-
tendent; Miss Gertrude McGuine, as
sistant in. city schools, and A. G.
Burg of the Agricultural school. Paul
Tobey entertained the educators with
vocal numbers.
The two day meeting proved inter
esting and beneficial to our rural
school teachers.
