Sunday morning about 10 o'clock
the fire alarm rang in from Box 81,
calling the fire company to a fire on
Clvde street, East Side. The fire was
in the house owned by Bert Fellows

Bowen. As near as we can learn the
fire started in a clothes press off
from a bed room. 1t appears that
Mr. and Mrs. Bowen had pail of
maple sugar stored in this closet and
one of the children went to the closet
to get a taste of the sugar and either

using match to find the sugar. When
the clothes hanging there became ig-

East Side and the chemical were dis
patched to the scene but NEITHER was

The fire that started in the A. G.
Clark house at 2 o'clock was one of
the most difficult ones to handle that
the firemen have encountered for
some time.
The family were aroused from
their sleep by the smoke coming in
to their rooms on the upper floor. Mr..
Clark FASTENED downstairs and was
faced by such volumes of smoke that
he was unable to get into the cellar
where the fire had started. The fam
lily escaped from the house with diff
ficulty, and thinly clad, went to the
home of Jerry Tatro, but were later
taken to the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
u. A. Harris, where they are now
stopping. Owing TO the distance that
the fire apparatus had to go, the fire
had gained such Roadway that it en-
tered the partitions and went all
through the house, making it very
difficult to eXtinguish.
Hose Companies No. 1, and and
the chemical reported for duty and
two lines of hose put tons of water
into the burning building. The city
chemical was emptied three times,
using $50 gallons of chemical before
the fire was fully eXtinguished. The
house and cellar were flooded with
water, and so badly cut and torn to
pieces that the loss will be heavy.
The furniture from the lower floor
was nearly all removed and only
slightly damaged, but the clothing
and bedding in the upper chambers
was nearly all burned or badly dam
aged.
Just how the fire caught was a
mystery to all, but it was first discov-
cred in a pile of slabs in the cellar.
Mr.. Clark had wood fire in his
steam heating boiler, and always is
very careful of fire. There was $500
insurance on the building and $1,000
on the furniture. Mr.. Clark had
made many improvements on this
property in the past few years and
the loss will be heavy, above the in
surance, saying nothing of family
treasures that money could not buy.
The loss of the home and clothing
at this time was made doubly hard,
owing to the sickness in the family,
Mrs. Clark and two children, Fran
Icis and Maurice, all suffering with
the mumps. As soon as the insur-
ance is adjusted, the work of repair
ing the house will begin. Mr.. and
Mrs. Clark have the sympathy of
their many friends in their loss.

WHEN TO wEAN PIGS

At the conference of swine cVten-
sion workers OF United States De-
partment OF Agriculture held recently
in Washington the question of wean-
ing pigs arose. The discussion
brought out the fact that in some
parts OF the country farmers follow
ed the practice of weaving their pigs
at most all ages from five weeks up
The conclusions reached were that
for best results pigs should be allow
ed to nurse the SOW for at least ten
weeks where Il is possible to do so.
II was decided that II would he still
better to allow the pigs to wean
themselves. A good sucking SOW
properly fed should be in good flow
Of milk up to the time the pigs are
at least ten weeks of age. Without
question the mothers milk is the
best feed possible to obtain for the
young pigs. Consequently hog grow
ers should take advantage OF this
natural feed to the greatest extent
possible.

SELECT SEED POTATOES
| AT HARVEST

The custom OF using seed po.a.nes
left from the previous seasons crop
after having disposed OF the best,
must be discontinued IL the present
quality and yield Of the crop is to
be materially improved, say special
lists of the United States Department
OF Agriculture. The grower cannot
expect to get maximum yields from
inferior seed stock any more than
the dairyman can expect to get max
imum milk yields from scrub cows.
The best time to select seed potatoes
according to the specialists is in the
fall when the crop is being harvest
ed. Then the yield of the indiyi-
dual plant and the quality OF the tub
ers can be considered.
Good seed is pure in respect to me
variety; it produced by healthy, Wig
orous, heavy yielding plants grown
under favorable climatic conditions
is somewhat immature; reasonably
uniform in size and shape; firm and
sound. The first sprouts should be-
gin to develop at planting time.
