THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT

Mankato, Mimi, Oct. 10, 1918.
TO the Citizens of Kandiyohi County:
Having learned that O. O. Ulvin is
a candidate for the Office Of county
superintendent of schools of Kandi.
yohi county, am pleased to make the
following statement which may be
OF help to you in making your deci.
sion. In making this statement l do
son between Mr.. Ulvin and his op.
lance.
l have known Mr.. Ulv1n for more
than twenty years, and during that
time have been associated with him in
school work in various ways. We be-
gan teaching in the rural schools of
this county at about the same time,
attended the Mankato normal school
together, and later Mr.. Ulvin served
as county superintendent of schools
while I was principal of a graded
school in this county. With this &C.
quaintanceship of many years as
basis for the statement, can say that
Mr.. Ulvin is a gentleman of a fine
Christian character with the cleanest
Of habits, and an enviable business
and professional record.
His thorough-going methods and
pleasant personality combined with his
high ideals of character building in
the schools, especially fitted him for
the teaching profession in which he
made a splendid success. The same
qualities place him among the first
of his profession as a school execu-
tive and later as county superintend-
ent of schools in this county.
AS his successor in this Office, it has
been possible for me to observe his
standing among the teachers and
school officers and patrons at the time
he decided to resign from the Office
and take much needed rest. There was
very strong expression of confidence
and high esteem among these people
throughout the county in regard to Mr..
Ulvin, and l encountered many sin.
cere regrets at his decision to retire
| from the office.
Knowing the high esteem in which
Mr. Ulvin is held in the rural communi
ties of this county, and the general
satisfaction so often expressed with
his administration and the standard
maintained in the schools, feel con
fident that the people Of Kandiyoh
county would appreciate his service
as much if he is elected.
W. H. Detamore,
County Superintendent Of Schools

Distribution Of Mourning Brassards.

Distribution Of Mourning 6rassards.
In the Northern Division the Home
Service Sections have been assigned
the duty Of distributing Brassards.
The wearing of Brassard as substi-
tute for mourning by the relatives of
those soldiers and sailors who have
lost their lives in the service has been
by President Wilson and
the Women's Committee of the Council
Of National Defense.
A Brassard Is an arm band of black
broadcloath, three inches wide, to be
worn on the left sleeve, midway be-
tween elbow and shoulder. The length
of the band as delivered is eighteen
inches, and should be adjusted to the
size of the sleeve, the ends being lap
ped or sewed in a seam. The stars
should be midway of the width of the
band. When one star is worn 1t
should be placed about 1 IA inches be-
yond the first quarter of the band, and
a distance Of about IA inches should
be maintained between the center of
the stars when more than one Is worn.
If two stars are worn, the first star
should be moved one inch nearer the
seam.
The Brassards are to be furnished
| by chapters without charge to the wild
OWs and parents Of soldiers and sail
ors, and to other immediate members
of the family they will be furnished at
cost. Parents, widows, brothers and
sisters, sons and daughters and those
who have stood in relation of loco
PARENTS are the only persons to whom
Brassards should be distributed.

Mrs. Peterson who had attained the
age of nearly ninty-four years, was a
territorial pioneer of Minnesota and
among the first Swedes to settle in
the state, having come to Chisago
county in 1853. The voyage across the
ocean was made in sailing vessel
which it transpired had been con-
demned and proved unseaworthy. The
passengers were compelled to shift
off and pump night and day to keep
the vessel afleat. Thru further neg
lect of the ship company sufficient and
proper food had not been provided for
the passengers and before reaching
land two of Mrs. Peterson's children
died for want of decent nourishment
and water, and were buried at sea.
Many were the interesting incidents

Tires Standardized.


Tire standardization has not been
restricted to pneumatics. The lordly
truck tire has now been taken down
a peg or two by the war Industries
board. Some of it's kin must submit
to oslerization,at least, till the Hun
and his legions tender the sword to
Foch and the triumphant allies.
The elimination of certain sizes
in truck tires does not come as a sur
prise. The war service committee,
composed entirely of big men of the
rubber industry, met in July and re-
commended sizes that could be dis
pensed with. These recommendations
have been accepted by the war indus
tries board.
The B. F. Goodrich Rubber Com
pany, one Of the largest of solid tire
manufacturers, makes public the new
schedule, which should be Of vast
interest to truck owners:
Class "A" Permanent Standard 32x-
81, 32x3h", 32x4", 36x4, 36x5, 40x5,
36x6, 4Ox6, 36x7, 36xS, 36x10, 4ox10,
4Gx12, 40x14.
Some of the sizes not included will
not be manufactured at all, others
will continue until Nov. 1919, and still
others Nov. 1920.

FIRE WARNING
FROM MARSHAL


Pierre, Aug. 19.-W. N. Van Camp
state fire marshal. has issued the fol-
lowing plea to the people OF South
| Dakota relative to the protection OF
elevators from fire hazard:
South Dakota Is on the Y OF
| hauling to her elevators the largest
grain crop in her history. Last year
she produced agricultural products to
! the value OF more than half a billion
dollars, and It is estimated that the
1918 crop will exceed the 1917 crop by
twenty-five per cent.
while the armies of the United
States are giving such o wonderful ac-
count OF themselves on the battle
fields of France II becomes our duty
to carefully guard the grain products
OF South Dakota so that there will be
no losses from fire.
"In 1917 eighteen elevators were
destroyed by fire In South Dakota,
with a loss Of $202.173.39. Eleven of
these fires were OF incendiary origin.
The people OF the state have a right
to expect that those OF us whom they
have placed in authority will use u
utmost endeavor SO that not a bushel
OF grain will be destroyed through
failure on the part Of any Of MS to do
our duty.
"No one should be allowed to enter
n mill or elevator without disclosing
his identity and his business. Grain
destroyed by fire is OF no more use,
than II destroyed by q German subma
rine. See that the water barrels In
the elevators are filled and that the
FIRE buckets are in place. Several
hand chemicals should be In every
elevator and ready for instant use;
ascertain that shafts are in line and
M no danger exists from hot iaHFH-
ais, and after the engine is stopped.
elevator managers should make sure
that q short circuit will not start O
fire in the oily engine room.
I earnestly hope that the newspa-
pers OF the state, the home guards, the
state council Of defense, the county
councils OF defense. the mayors. the
FIRE chiefs, and the various county
agents. will cooperate and that there
viii not be a town in South Dakota
where elevators are filed with grain
but will have the protection Of two or
more armed night watchmen YER
night from September 1 until the
movement Of grain from South Dakota
Is completed"
