COW LEADS ALL FARM
ANIMAL

The expansion which has been taxi
ing place steadily in the dairy industry
of this country during the last seven
years has at last put milk cows at the
head of the list of farm animals so far
as value is concerned. This is shown
by a recent report by the Bureau Of
Crop Statistics, United States Depart.
ment OF Agriculture. The value of
these animals now exceeds that of
horses and cattle other than milk COWS,
the two classes formerly standing high
er on the list. On January LIST of this
year there We're approximately 23,747,.
900 milk cows in this country, an in
crease of 272,00O head, or l.2 per cent,
as compared with a year ago. Their
aggregate value is placed at s2,021 ,6S1,-
900. Ten years ago the average milk
cow was worth $500, compared with
$500 a year ago and $S5.13 Jan. 1, 1920.
1t is generally recognized that the quail.
ity of the milk cows of this country is
improving at the same time that their
number is increasing.

calves, steers, bulls and cows, not kept

CONNECTICUT is NOW
MOST LIKELY CHANCE
(By United Press)

Washington, Sept. 2.--The posi-
blity Of the Tennessee suffrage tan
gle dragging a resolution 20 the fall
election and thru the courts into the
house Ct representatives, has been
recognized by high government Off
cials and ways to meet it are being
considered, it was learned today.
If the court should declare, after
election occurs, that the Tennessee
ratification OF suffrage was illegal.
i'll women votes cast under author
i!y OF the nineteenth amendment
also would be illegal and there will
bn. nothing to do but to throw out
lie whole vote of states where such
illega. voting has occurred. Thus no
candidate would have a majority of
he electors and the house Of repre-
>eutatives would elect the president.
Officials here see two ways to
avoid this, the first to get the matter
:ettled by decision Of a federal su-
preme court election; the second
would be to get ratification by
thirty state. Connecticut now
offers the most likely chance for such
vote.

ADDITIONAL ROOMS FOR
STUDY PURPOSES MUST
BEPR0VlDED STUDENTS
Enrolment of Beginners Re-
quires Shifting Of Pupils
in Several Schools

Extra heavy enrolment of children
beginning school has caused the Lin
coin and North schools to become
over-crowded and for the remainder
of this week half of the beginners
will attend during the forenoon and
the remainder in the afternoon.
At the Lincoln school fifty-four
children have made their first appear
ance, at the North school there are
fifty-two beginners, and at the Gen.
tral building there are sixty. Those
at the Central school have been prac-
tically taken care of although the
number far exceeded all expectations.
Two rooms are required for the be-
ginners.
No arrangement has yet been made
for those at the North school and
they will continue the half day ses-
sion until satisfactory arrangements
can be made by the board.
To relieve the situation at the Lin
coin school, the seventh grade will be
transferred to the High school build
ing, while the commercial department
of the High school will use the base
ment of the Methodist church for the
present at least. This change will
take place on Monday morning.
The complete enrolment for the
local schools has as yet not been an
nounced but from all available in
formation it appears as though it is
in excess Of last years enrolment.
Several changes are also being made
in the location of the teachers since
the increase of beginners has necessi-
tated a change Of rooms.

Small Fires of Yesterday Not
Entirely Extinguished
Cause Conhagration
TOTAL INSURANCE
is ABOUT $4,000
Hotel, Dining Hall, Cottage,
Club and Smaller Build
''ings Go Up in Glaze

Fire, originating in the Kitchen OF
the Birchmont hotel, this morning
about five o'clock, destroyed the en-
tire hotel system of buildings. This
includes the kitchen, dining room,
main hotel building, refreshment pa
vilion, power house and small cot
tage in the rear of the refreshment
building.
1t is thought the fire which was
found in the rear of the kitchen
range yesterday morning could not
have been entirely put out and re-
manned smouldering until the early
hour this morning, when 1t broke
out and destroyed the hotel.
At about five o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon the smell of smoke was de-
tected in the kitchen by the occup-
ants and a hose was turned on the
place where the fire had been in the
morning and everything thoroughly
drenched, it was thought. Again at
eleven o'clock, before retiring, the
night engineer turned the hose on
the same spot in the wall to make
sure there MAS nothing left burning.
No Indications of fire were noticed
after that until about five o'clock this
morning when Mrs. Ellington, whose
rooms were over the dining hall was
awakened by the reflection of fire on
the lake and Immediately gave the
alarm.
All guests and employees of the ho-
tel escaped, one waitress however was
compelled to make her exit thru a
window. Much of the furniture and
bedding of the main portion of the
hotel was saved as the fire did not
reach it until after a large portion of
the dining room had been consumed.
The hotel was built in 1915 and
had been operating for six seasons.
1t had been practically closed for the
season and almost all of the guests
had left.
1t is estimated the loss will amount
100000 with insurance on the en-
tire property including the summer
cottages of $4,000.
The main building was a three
story structure, the dining room, two
stories and kitchen modern one
story building. The hotel had it's
individual light and power plant
which was destroyed.
An interior fire extinguishing sys-
tenn could not be put into operation
owing to the electric wires connecting
\ it being located near the origin of
Fhe fire and being burned soon after
Che fire broke out.
The hot water tank in the kitchen
exploded with terrific violence during
the process of the fire blowing the
head Of the tank more than two hun
dred feet toward the lake and scat
tering some Of the kitchen contents
in all directions.
The hotel had been enjoying an in
creasing patronage from summer
tourist trade every year and has be-
come one Of the most widely advertis-
ed summer hotels in the state.
At a special meeting of the direct
Ors of the Rcmidji Civic and Com
merce association held at noon today
a committee composed of Messrs. r.
