Farmers Elevator Company, of this
place. be called upon to suffer a bad
fre-the third for them--just at this
season. is q question now far from
solved.
About 10 o'clock Monday evening fire
was discovered in the top OF their
structure on Fifth street. at the. NJ. &
st. l.. tracks, and an hour later I'LL
woodwork in the interior was de-
stroyed. The structure was completed
less than year ago. and was supposed
to be as near flreproof as need be. The
outer walls and bins were of hollow
brick. and but little wood was used in
the interior.
Two elevators built by this company
at the Rock Island tracks here were
destroyed by fire within the past few
years, and last summer the present
structure was built being completed
barely In time to accommodate last
years crop Of oats.
The cause of the IRE is o. mystery
and only theories can be named. Among
these are a dust explosion, defective
wiring and spontaneous combustion
No new grain has yet been threshed
here.
The bins and walls and roof probably
are not injured and It il likely that
mechanics will be at once put to recon-
struct the interior and be ready for the
new crop Of grain.

have better chance or an easier job.
THE principal business Of the day is
to find sugar savers--thnt is. sweeten-
ing agencies that will take the place Of
sugar, The world has q faint impress
sion that honey Is one of the best sub
stitutes for sugar. 1t is up to the bee
nan to convince the people Of the fact.
The stage Is all set for him.
about 250,00000O pounds of honey
are made in America every year. There
ought to be work for twenty times as
many bees. There would be if the bee
men wouli get busy and tell folks just
how honey can be used in place of sugar
People are hunting for sugar savers.
Why the dense silence among the bee
men Of Iowa? We ought to hear 'em
buzzing all around US. day and night
Surely they do not want to keep the
value OF honey a dead secret.
Can you think Of any other industry
III which the raw material and the labor
OF the producers cost nothing what
