Flax in the War.

With restoration of the industry on peace-time basis cotton once again goes ahead of linen in the worlds ia yor. The exigencies of the recent con flict raised flax to the position as leader among fabrics, rank which 1t had held for centuries but lost almost simultaneously with the advent of the cotton gin.
 With realization of the importance of cotton in the making of munitions, there came a speedy reversion to linen for the more commonplace usages-. waistcoats. sails for ships, even wings for airplanes having lately consisted of linen. But flax has reached the end of its days of monopoly King Cotton now rises to the fore in ordi- nary pursuits, and linen once again becomes the arlStocrat in this field of supply.

 Burned Barn
 Lipponenn tried to set fire to the Ray home, but was unsuccessful in getting it started. Going to the barn he kindled small blaze, and within a few minutes the barn was mass of flames, being entirely destroyed, nd destroying everything it contained two horses, hay, grain and farm inn plements of all kinds.
 Murdered Hangs Self
 After seeing that the barn was on fire and well on it's way to destruc- tion, Lipponenn once more got into his buggy and drove short distance when he came to a sheep-shed owned by another neighbor. Taking the reins from his horse, Lipponenn took them into the shed with him and fastening moose around his neck, succeeded in fastening the ends to a rafter, and then he kicked box from under him. ,s

 Countryside Terrified
 The whole countryside was up in arms until it was certain that the insane man was. dead Neighbors hastily telephoned to each other spreading the information that Lip ponenn was running amuck, killing everyone in sight, and for miles around children were secreted in houses, doors and windows were locked, and men took positions with revolvers, shotguns and weapons of all descriptions, to protect themselves and theirs from the madman.
 Every available officer for miles around were out searching for Lippo- nenn and those living in Brooklyn, and in other places near there, were considerably relieved when they learned for certainty that the in- sane man had hanged himself
 Coroner Arthur H. Bill of Daniel son was notified of the killings, and he started an investigation, showing that the multiple tragedy was the worse in the criminal annals of the state.
