"Chlldren," said the teacher while
Instructng the class In composition,
"you should not attempt any flights

France around the problem of provid-

psychologists and economists have in
dignantly rejected any suggestion OF

This applies particularly to fire
where grease is present in quantities,
A technical paper cites an instance
where a fire in the oil box of an en-

when water was thrown upon it. The
water scattered the grease in all di-

up by a tlywheel, spreading the burn

FIRE DESTROYS
ALARCE BARN

Ben Norgaard was in the city
Midday morning to tell us of big fire
the country. Ben has been putting in
a few days shocking along with his
brother. The big barn related to was
on the farm of Herman Gangstad, IA
miles south of town, and was one of
these large hip roof barns. At the
time the fire started everybody was in
the field about couple of miles away
and when they noticed the fire they
raced for home but by the time they
got there the big building was a mass
of flames. The origin of the fire is
not known. Mr.. Gangstad lost 40 tons
of hay-all he had-one horse and a
pig which were burned up. There had
been nobody home for several hours
as Mrs. Gangstad and the children
were out in the field with lunch for
the men, so just how the first started
is not known. This is heavy loss to
Mr.. Gangstad, especially the hay
which he needs for feed the coming
winter. The fire occurred at 4:3O in
the afternoon.

not be Bigot if she made claims to
doing more work than any man in the

plunked them down in position like a
