Visits Fergus Fails Ruins.

Miss Emma Hauer, accompanied
by Mss Leone Price. returned last
week from visit to her sister, Mrs.
Albert Adler. at Fergus Falls. She
states that the ruin and destruction
wrought by the cyclone is indescrib.
able. In the business part Of the
town. the windows were all boarded
up, as there was nothing Of glass
left. and the debris is piled up and
scattered out into the lake near by
in most confused mass. Great
trees that man could barely half
encircle with his arms, were torn
up by the roots and carried a block
away from where they were grow
ing. The Adler family sought the
cellar when the storm vas on, and
when they emerged few minutes
after they could scarce believe the
sight they saw. The hotel where so
many people lost their lives. was
totally demolished. and appeared to
be broken into kindling wood.

Fire In Dwelling House.

A fire alarm last Thursday even
ing a little before seven O'Clock
brought the fire engines to the
home Of former Ira Daniels. now
the Episcopal parsonage. Mr..
Daniels family was moving out Of
the building. and Rev. Stanley
Jones, the Episcopal minister al
ready had some Of his furniture in
the building. and the gentleman
had come to arrange his things,
when i. was discovered that smoke
was canning out cf the upper part
of the building, and it was soon
seen that the fire had got a good
start between the roof and ceiling.
However, the chemical was soon
playing upon it, and the blaze brot
under control. Both Mr.. Daniels
and Rev. Jones suffered losses from
the fire and also from the food of
water poured upon it and the build
ing was badly damaged, but the
properties happily were insured.

Warns Of Fire In Grain Fields

The Fire Marshal Department re-
commends that the farmers set their
shocks back at least two hundred
feet from the railroad tracks, and
that fire guard be plowed between
the shocks and the railroad track.
They also recommend that but linn
tied number Of stacks be placed in
each setting and that each setting be
protected by plowing a fire guard a.
round it. If this IS done it will re-
suit in the saving Of many thousand
bushels of grain.
Do not stack grain nor straw near
any building. See that the men
working round the engines are care
full and that the engine is equipped
with spark arrester. With wheat
worth the price it is and with the
demand for it to feed the starving
people OF France. Belgium and 9TH
er European countries. not a dollar
of the 1919 crop should be destroy
ed through carelessness. Unle, ev-
erything is done to protect the crop
we will have shirked a patriotic
duty.

Every soldier in the late war

his government life insurance. 1t is
the cheapest and best life insurance
that he can possibly obtain.

carry government policies will be
permitted to arrange for payment in
case of death either in one lump
sum or in a smaller number Of in
stallments than is now provided.
Any Of the soldier boys can get

points in the government insurance

Harvesting Under Way.

Many farmers are now we'll into
harvesting, and barley, oats and
rye in many farms are in the shock
and some of the early wheat has
been cut. The indications all point
to one Of the lightest crops Of small
grain that has been harvested here
for several years. While once in a
while there are fields where the
yield will be good. these are the
exceptions. where for some reason
the growing grain escaped the ef-
feet Of the moist, hot weather of
a couple Of weeks ago. blighting
the heads and affecting it with rust
to some extent. However, not un-
til threshing has commenced will
the full effect Of the injury be
known.
On the other hand the growing
corn never was so far advanced or
looked so we'll at this time Of the
year as it does this season. Where
the land was not injured by the
water, or such that it could not be
cultivated in time. the corn crop
promises better than it has ever
done before.

the people the necessity of getting
their orders in early for coal, if

The naturalization Of mines.

Minimum wage $500 per day.
Time and a half for over time.
