old LANDMARK IS
TOTALLY DESTROYED
Property and Household Goods Com.
pletely Destroyed BY Fire
Saturday Morning.

The Dover News says: About $3.50
a. m. Saturday morning the house and
entire contents of the old Wolfe Mill
property, owned by Bland Kirk was
completely destroyed by fire. The
property Is an old landmark on Lees
creek, situated on the Minerva and
Tuckahoe pike.
The house was occupied by tenant,
Alexander Gill, and 1t is supposed that
the fire originated from the dropping
of match by one Of the Gill chill
dren as they returned from an ice
cream supper.
The fire had game dsuch Roadway
before discovered that 1t was impos-
sible to save anything but several
pieces of bed clothing. The Oldest
boy, Is years Of age, was asleep in a
far room in the house and when he
was awakened he rushed from the
room In his night clothing. In order
to get in the open 1t was necessary
for him to pass through rooms that
were already ablaze, and in doing so
his clothing caught fire and were con-
siderably burned before he could rid
himself of them.
Mr.. Gill had pust purchased a new
suit for which he paid s97, and this
was lost. All the meat and lard was
destroyed along with 81 gallons of
preserves. There was no insurance
carried on the household goods.
Mr.. Gill is good farmer and was
makig rapid Roadway, but this loss
will amount to several hundreds of
dollars.

BOOST TIRE MAN
FOR CLUB PRESIDENCY

st. Paul, MINI. - The Advertising
Club of St. Paul has started a move
ment to elect F. A. Seiberling, presi-
dent of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Co., president of the Associated Adver-
Using Clubs of the World, when that
Association meets in New Orleans for
its annual convention, September 81
to 20.
The suggestion of the st. Paul club,
1t appears from check-up of response
it has received, is meeting with gener-
al approval from other advertising
clubs, and 1t appears that Mr.. Seiber-
ling will find a strong popular demand
among the delegates to the advertising
meeting, though st. Paul men explain
that they have not consulted Mr.. Sell
berling They plan to make the de-
mand for his service at the head of
the advertising association so strong
that he cannot refuse.
The Goodyear and the other big tire
companies of the country have taken
the keenest interest in the work of the
advertising association to prevent
fraud in advertising, especially in the
automotive industry for they realize
that advertising has been the controll-
ing factor in making the motor car
the popular vehicle that 1t is.
An unusual number of automobile
advertising men, and the salesman
ayers of many of the automobile and
accessory companies, will attend the
New Orleans convention, the st. Paul
club has found, because of their keen
interest in the work of the advertising
association to fight frauds in the au-
tomotive industry.
