Officers Joke Was All Right Until the
Commander Got Tired Of
Hearing It.

A well-known French colonel had a
mania for questioning his officers about
their families, invariably starting off
with: "What is your fathers profess
sion, your mothers, and your sis
ter's?"
Some Of the subalterns became so
wearied of this endless repetition that
they decided among themselves to give
each in turn the following reply:
MY father is a shoemaker, my moth
er is a laundress, and my sister is
very fiighty." b.

FIRE COMMITTEE RECON-
MENDATIONS
Fire Originated From Various
Sources. Ninety Per Cent of
Farmers Will Reoccupy.

L. G. Petersen returned Tues
day night from Duluth where Ne
had been for several days. serv-
ing on the committee appointed
by Governor Burnquist to look
into the causes of the recent
great forest fire in northern Min
nesota. and to make recommen-
dations for more Are protection
in the future. The COMMITTEES
will meet again next Tuesday
when the great important mat
ter Of q reconstruction program
will be taken up. Their report
will be submitted to the Cover
nor who in turn most likely will
submit 1t to the next legislature.
Besides l.. C. Petersen Of A.
kov, there are six other members.
Of this committee as follows: r.
L. Washburn and Martin Cole of
Duluth, Andrew r. Jackson Of'
Pallisade. Profs. A. j. McGuire
and J. r. Venting Of the state
college Of agriculture, and Severt,
Swanson Of Moose Lake.
The committee called many
witnesses and found that there
had been many small fires set.
1t is also believed that the raiT-
roads are a partial cause of the
great fire. The committee de-
cided to recommend that 4 man
be appointed in every township
in northern Minnesota to look
after fires locally and Immediate
" report any danger to the state
fire marshal. It was also
recommended that a five mill tax
be levied for more Are protec-
ton.
Judging from reports received
from all over the fire swept dis
trict it is estimated that ninety
per cent Of the farmers who
burned out completely will 50
back to their land and farm il
again.
1t appears after more thoro In
vestigation that the number of
lives lost is not as great a. WAS

A CORRECTION

An error which appeared in
the tabulated election returns of
last weeks issue has been called
to the attention of the American.
For superintendent Of schools the
table showed that Miller re-
ceived 2lO votes in Sandstone vii
lage while Colby received 80.
This should have been trans
posed as it was Mr.. Colby who
received the 210 votes in his
home town. Judging from the
table one might think that Mr..
Colby did not stand very high in
his home community while as a
matter Of fact he was accorded
a splendid vote.

Date for Sending Soldiers Par
cells Extended.

A plan has been perfected
whereby the final mailing date
for Christmas Parcels for Sol
diers Overseas has been extended
to November 30th.
The plan also includes a provi-
sion for furnishing Christmas
Labels to individuals who have
not received labels from soldiers
in the American Expeditionary
Forces, upon the receipt Of a
signed application stating that
the applicant is the nearest of
kin in the United States, that no
label has been received from
abroad and that should one sub
sequently be received it will not
be used. The applicant must
also state that to the best of
his knowledge and belief only
one Christmas parcel will be
sent to the proposed recipient.
This arrangement has been
made at the request Of the War
Department to prevent disap-
pointment to those who have not
received labels from abroad and
is intended to insure the delivery
of one parcel to each man.
