Home cf CMy Attorney Damaged
Considerably by Flames.

The home Of John ID. Spinney, city
attorney, which is located at the cor
ner of Woodwork avenue and Has
tngs street, was badly damaged by
fire, shortly before noon Friday.
When the alarm was sounded, the
department made quick response,
and it was only by the prompt and
efficient work of the department that
a far more serious fire did not result
as the flames had secured good
start when the fire was discovered.
When the department reached the
scene, the roof of the Spinney home
was blazing fercely but the water
from the lines of hose quickly brought
the fire under control and it was very
soon cxtinguishcd.
The cause of the fire has not been
ascartained. The damage is esti-
mated to be in the neighborhood of
$1,000.

If possible farmers of the state
who have been unable to secure help
locally will be supplied with men

era farm labor director, who has
established his headquarters at Ian

for men are made before the actual
necessity for help arises. II this is
done the preliminaries can be worked

much increased thereby
Both married and single men who
should be able to give satisfactory
farm help have been listed by the
labor bureau, while in addition we
have secured the names also of a
large number Of men who will be
available later for the haying and
harvest seasons.
Farmers who are unable to salts
factorly meet their labor needs local
