Forest fires of the past that des-
troyed Huxley and Sandstone, later
Uhisholm and still later Beaudette and
Spooner pale into insignifcance when
the fire which has been raging in
northern Minnesota for the past week
- taken into consideration.
Thirty cities and villages have been
completely wiped off the map and to
late over 700 bodies have been taken
from the ruins. At Moose Lake 81
bodies were buried in one grave.
The extremely dry condition Of
the country and high winds have fan
ned the flames.
Reports are sent out from time ia
time that the fire is under control
only to be followed by, later ones that
it has broken out with renewed
6erocity at some other point.
The property loss may reach The
500. 900 900 mark and insurance ex-
perts state that it is the most dis
astrous since the San Francisco earth
quake several years ago.
Business men who were on the high
tide of prosperity two weeks ago have
lost their all-even their wives and
children in many instances. In many
cases entire families have been burn.

that the world is facing a desperate

health and public safety or shall we
begin to do our bit by signing a
petition to tax dogs and send it to
or Governor and Legislature at
Jackson. We can do this while
W iting for Congress to act. No
experienced sheep raiser will under

of the vagrant dog has been over

with the loss sustained by ravenous
dogs. destroying sheep, molesting
cattle, hogs and chickens. A petit
ton has been prepared and is at J.

Every woman in Iuka is asked to

Hiram oly-Poly" Benson, well
designated as a nickname, admirably
filled the Information desk in the Of
fees of Bacon & Co, brokers. He was
understood, rotund, big-eyed, pink as
posy, always neat and clean of per-
son. He exhaled heaIthfulness. He
seemed built for the very chair he oc-
cupied and harmonized well with the
six pretty-and also pink-stenog-
raphers, filling in the Office picture
just behind him
Hiram was the Office pet, but that
had not spoiled him. He had come
into the employ Of Bacon & Co I'M
der peculiar circumstances, and the
cooperation that had enabled the
connection was appreciated and cher
ished by young Hiram. If only for
the sake of plain, honest, hardwork-
ing John Marvin, his sponsor, he was
determined to make good"
1t was both curious and portentous
the manner in which these two met.
Hiram was at that time experiencing
the SORROWS and hardships of his
first ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS boy for
the Security National bank. One
morning Hiram was sent with two
packages of securities to deliver to
two different financial Institutions. He
placed each in separate inside coat
pocket. 1t made him puff to walk
fast. and he appeared as a strenuous
junior business devotee as he swung
down the crowded thoroughfare. Alb
ruptly he checked himself to stag
gering halt as he CHANGED to put his
hands to his pockets One of the
precious packets was missing He
let out a frantic yell with the full
power of his lungs.

crowd gathered. An officer came up

Hiram had not been a banker, as
he boasted but he did know banking

in close touch with the boys he had
known at the bank"

ram was placed in possession of some
very important and guiding facts con-
corning the man who had given Mr..
Marvin the check that could not be
collected. The evasive depositor, Hi
ram discovered, had made it point
to always keep from fifty to one hun
bred and fifty dollars on deposit I'M
der the face of the check he had given
to Marvin His final tip late one
afternoon was that Drollard had $423
to his credit when the bank closed,
and Hiram proceeded to draw $77 of
his savings.
The next morning he appeared at
the Security National and deposited
that amount to the credit of Drollard,
presented the check and received five
crisp 800 bills on the check, which
Mr. Marvin had endorsed over to
him.
There's your $500, Mr.. Marvin" an
nounced Hiram airily, who tried hard
to evade the ST deficit, had to own
the truth, and had one of the 500
bills forced upon him by the delighted
Marvin.
