M. w. A. Will Pay Higher Rate

The Modern Woodman of America
will raise their insurance rates SO
per cent to meet the extraordinary
death rate the order has sustained by
the ravages of the flu the past sew
eral months. In spite of the excep-
tionally low rate of the assessments
the order has at all times maintained
a reserve of something like twelve
millions of dollars but the recent
death rate has cut this reserve down
to the danger point and it is only
good sense on the part of the order
to place the assessments at a point
where there will be no danger but
that each members insurance will be
in perfect safety. The order has for
some months had patriotic assess
ment, so called, to take care of all
Woodmen in the service and this as
sessment will be discontinued when
the new rate goes into effect so that
the increase in rates will scarcely be
noticed and at that are as low as any
of the other fraternal insurance So
cieties.

cause Minnesota has not enough bees

Children Burned to Death

A terrible tragedy occurred at the
home of Thomas Schiesser in Fer
gus Falls, Tuesday noon, of last
week, when three little children,
aged 4, 2 and a little baby were
burned to death.
Mrs. Schiesser had gone to the
home of a neighbor, who was sick.
There was little or no fire in the
stove, so that it is mere conjecture as
to how the fire started. Anyway, a
neighbor, Mr.. Schiller, saw the house
on fire and gave the alarm. He
rushed to the house but found it i'm
possible to enter the door, which was
all on fire. Breaking out a window
he called and one of the little boys
screamed for help, but Schiller could
not enter because the entire house
seemed filled with flames. 1t burned
down while the screams of the chill
dren grew fainter and fainter and
finally ceased. The fire department
put out the flames, and the two older
children were found, burned to a
crisp, on the bed, while the baby
which was sitting in a high chair in
another room, was found in the base
ment, where he had fallen when the
floor burned through. Mrs. Schiesser
is a sister of Mrs. VIM. Downes OF
Graceville.

Here it is, says an exchange:
eff there is any thing that gets my
Nanny it is the use of slang. Some
guys spill so much of that kind of
dope that it is hard to get wise to
their spiel. Kids should be put next
by their parents that slang is on the
Fritz and ought to be cut out. If
had kid that could not put over
straight stuff I would wallop the lin
ing out of the lobster. Skirts are
shines, proper, when it comes to
slang. They think that mercy and
I would say are real jake. The Boss
is dish of prunes when it comes
to slang. He bawls me out to a
fare-ye-well and I am in Dutch from
the time come on the job till haying
time in the evening. This is the
first thing I have ever tried to put
across and if it don't show up in the
