A farewell gathering by the
high school students was given
in honor of F. Clarey Nielsen
and family at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. P. P. Kilstofte Satur-
day evening. The parents of
the young folks and a few
friends were also present, the
entire assemblage numbering
about 60.
Short talks were given by A.
Gravesen, L. c. Petersen, F. c.
Nielsen and L. C. Laursen in the
order named. Mr.. Nielsen spoke
of the necessity of an education
in this age and of the future Of
the Askov schools. He also
dwelt briefly on the work of
the past five years. while he
was principal Of the schools.
Mr.. Laursen, in very pleasing
manner read a poem which he
had written some time ago and
which was published in "Ung-
DOM" concerning a family of
immigrants who had come to
this country. lost four of their
FIVE children through sickness
and the fifth enlisting in the
World War, where he gave his
life for liberty-the liberty
which his grandfather fought
for in the COS against the same
Prussian war lords.

Residents Of school districts
Nos. 26 and 1O7 in the north
western part Of the county met
at the school house near Ellison,
about 8 miles west of Willow
River, Friday evening to discuss
the matter of consolidating the
two districts and building one
large school.
There were up till last fall
two school houses in district No.
26 but one of these was destroy
ed in the forest fire of Novem-
ber and the one school house in
district No. 107 was also de-
stroyed in the forest fire. Two
residences were rented for
school purposes last winter. It
is only a question of time when
the one remaining school build
ing will either have to be re-
newed or overhauled and en-
larged and for this reason many
Of the residents were Of the
opinion that it would be better
to consolidate and build one
large building. More school
room is absolutely necessary.
County Superintendent of
Schools J. P. Miller was present
at the meeting Friday and ex-
planned the advantages of con-
solidation and the procedure in
order to secure such. Between
40 and so residents of the two
districts were present. The
sentiment of the gathering was
strong for consolidation.

FIRE DESTROYS BRUNO
BUSINESS BUILDING
Destruction by Fire of kane's
Store. Bruno. ArOuses Vii.
lage at / u. m.

The first real fire that Bruno
has experienced on it's Main
Street occurred there Monday
morning at about 4 o'clock. The
blaze gave the appearance of be-
coming very disastrous, but
luck was with them in that the
wind was blowing at such an an
gle that the flames and heat
were blown across the street
toward the vacant lots between
the railroad tracks and the land
office building.
From reports. it appears that
a party, intending to leave on.
the early morning train for Du-
luth, had arisen at about 4 a. M,
lit the kerosene lamp and was
in the room in the center of the
building on the second floor
dressing, when in some manner
the lamp was knocked over, fell
to the floor with the result that
oil was spread over the floor and
ignited Immediately. Mr.. and
Mrs. Kane, who resided down
stairs, were called, but before
they could get up there the
flames had gained such headway
that it was impossible to fight
them.
The fire alarm was then sound
ed and sleeping residents were
woke up by the shouting of fire,
fire. Soon the fire department
was on hand and citizens kept
on coming with water buckets.
1t was quickly seen. however,
that the Kane building could not
be saved, as the fire originated
right in. the middle Of the build
ing, where it was impossible to
fight it. Efforts we're then bent
on saving the surrounding build
ings,. which were successful.
The concrete wall of the Bru-
no State Bank, which was about
3 feet from the Kane building,
appeared as one mass of flames
continuously. but the wall with
stood the heat and with 3 or 4
men pouring water on the roof
the building was saved. The
land office building directly
across the street was in danger
several times, but throwing
water on the front Of it saved it.
A telephone pole and an electric
light pole in front of the store
were burned so badly that it ne
cessitated the cutting off of the
electric power.
The fire department done good
work with their chemical en-
gine.
Before the fire reached the
main store department, a con-
siderable quantity Of goods were
carried out, but only a small
amount compared with the total
stock. Except for the stock car
ried out, everything went up in
flames, the ground being prac-
tically level when the flames
died out. Mr.. Kane's loss is par
tally covered by insurance.

COTTON COODs-Agens to
Name Percale Prices To-day

The usual Saturday dullness in the
cotton goods market was also acentu-
sted yesterday, when many firms were
closed because of the Jewish holiday.
Interest centred chiefly in the forth
coming prices on percales and narrow
printed cloths for spring delivery.
Many mill representatives will an
nounce the figures on Monday, and it is
generally agreed that they will be
lower than the old schedule.
Some converters predicted that two
or three cents will be cut from pres
ent percale prices, which are 25 cents
a yard for patterns in light colors and
27 cents for dark colors. 1t was said
that with the prevailing high cost of
gray cloth, from which percale is
printed, new prices will be extremely
reasonable. Advance inquiries from
jobbers and dress manufacturers give
promise Of a widespread demand for
the fabric
Automobile manufacturers continued
their purchases of wide sateens. That
material is extensively used as imita
ton leather and buyers paid 63 cents
a yard for it in the gray.
Despite the drop in raw cotton quo
tations Friday, there were no recess
sons in the price of gray goods, mill
agents demanding II cents yard for
the standard $3.50 construction.
Light offerings by spectators were
made at 16A cents, but their stocks
were so limited that transactions did
not assume any appreciable volume.
