Livestock and Farm
Machinery Destroyed
By Fire Last Week

Fire loss to the extent of $4,000
affected the property of Adam Orth
five miles east of Sank Centre, last
Thursday night. The large barn, to-
gether with silo and the granary
and several smaller buildings were
totally destroyed. Live stock to the
extent of IA cows, six calves, five
horses, a pure bred Chester White sow
and litter of II, also about 80 chick
ems and four turkeys were burned to
death. About 800 bushels of grain
burned and some machinery. The loss
is partially covered by insurance,
about $4,000.
The origin of the confagration is
merely matter of theory as yet. The
family had done the evening chores
without lantern light as it was still
early and no one had been near the
barn (where the fire broke out) with
light of any kind. 1t is conjectured
that match might possibly have
been dropped and that one of the
animals ignited it by stepping on it
The fire was discovered shortly after
the family had retired, about 1890
The Oldest daughter heard noise, bu
thought it was her mother dow1
stairs. After time, the sound still
continuing, she opened her eyes ant
saw the light, but merely came t,
the conclusion that her mother was il
the hall upstairs with light. Finally
wondering why Mrs. Orth, woult
remain in the hall way so long, sh,
started to get up and thus discovere,
the real trouble. She gave the alarm
and in a short time all were fghtin,

general ring at once and the chemica
cart from the city department wa
also called and arrived promptly
However, the fire had gained sucl
Roadway that aside from an attemp
!, to save a little live stock, attention
was turned to saving nearby buildings
Seven horses were saved from tn
barn by Mr.. Orth, who risked his ow
life in so doing. Fortunately abou

unframed. A registered Holstein sir
pulled the ring from his nose an
broke down the barn door, savin

Mr.. Arthur M. Davis, who was dem

years, is writing series of articles
for various publications in Europe,
in which he comments upon what the
kaiser thinks about different prob

much interested in the negro problem
and expressed the opinion that this
problem will always be present in the
United States because the whites and
blacks do not mix socially. After the
war started, the kaiser said: "Now is

GOLFERS RECORD
IS ABOVE CRITICISM
(Stockman-Farmer)

Notwithstanding Senator Golfers
father came to this State in its very
earliest days, and his boy, Senator
Fred T. Golfer, was born in this state
and lived here all his life; notwlth-
standing his public career equals, if
not exceeds, that of any man in this
state for his age; Notwithstanding he
began as poor boy and quickly rose
to be a man of affairs, engaged in
farming, ranching, stock-raising, mer-
chandising and banking: notwith-
standing his splendid record in the
Constitutional Conventions and two
terms in the State Senate-that his
record there shows him to be always
on the side of the people and of right;
notwithstanding he has obtained the
confidence of the Democracy of Ari-
National Committeeman of Arizona;
notwithstanding that he has served in
many capacities other than those men
toned, as a public man and benefactor
of the state, with all this public career
cf his where he had the eyes of the
public on him for all these years, those
who are seeking TO discredit him in
the eyes of the good Democrats of
Arizona can find no act, no word, not
even an omission of Fred T. Golfer,
upon which they can hang a criticism.
Hence, the only thing they can resort
to is the old, frazzledout one that they
attempted to use on Governor Hunt
two years ago, and now they try it on
Senator Golfer by saying he stands
for 81 w. Wism,7 being follower
and protege of Governor Hunt. How

shameful it isl

SOLDIERS
MAY Be TRAINED AT
Topeka INSTITUTION

The Topeka Industrial and Educa-
tional Institute will open Tuesday,
September 10, 1918. The school will
as usual have a strong faculty and a
large student body. The dormitories
are being renovated and put into re-
pair for the comfort of all.
The Trades Building for young men
will be especially equipped to teach
iron work, wood work and tailoring.
In the Girls Trades building will be
taught domestic science and domestic
art with laboratories and equipment
not surpassed by any institution Of
it's grade, and where many young
women have been trained as home
makers and teachers.
Agriculture
Kansas is distinctly an agricultural
state. Any institution that must
serve the people cannot neglect the
agricultural interest. This institution
with this in mind-has purchased
farm of 110 acres of land upon
which young men are given farm
practice and young women splendid
opportunity to study agriculture, poul-
try and trucking.
The school has a nice herd of Hol-
stein cattle to produce milk for the
school and to supply models for study
of the best dairy breeds. A good herd
of Duroc Jersey hogs are kept for edu-
cational purposes and to feed the stu
dents
Academic Department
While this institution gives instruc-
tion in the many forms of Industrial
education, yet it holds up to the stu
dent the real value of academic
training, and every student has Of
fered to him or her the very best aca-
demic course.
Sports
An athletic field is being selected
for football, basketball and track
meets, as well as for military drill
This school may train soldiers for our
government in the near future.
For some time the institution has
been considering the training of negro
soldiers as technicians in cvarpentry,
painting, blacksmithing and horse
shoeing, automobile mechanics and
the operation of the same.
Important officials are expected at
the Institution to confer with the
trustees and the new principal, Mr.
G. R. Bridgeforth, concerning the
same.
Automobile repairing and ppdrat-
ing will be added as a regular course
for giving men who enter the school
this year special training. A large
enrolment is expected.
