Fire completely destroyed the big
barn erected by G. D. Colcord on his
wife's farm in forming township at
about four o'clock this morning. The
barn, which was built three years ago,
was one of the best structures Of its
kind in the county and was valued at
$4,000. It was insured for $4,000.
The barn was 34x64 feet in size and
was equipped with the King ventilat-
ing system and was especially well
built of select lumber.
Martin Johnson, who moved onto
the farm from the Vix farm in Torn
ing township several weeks ago, lost
fifteen head of cattle, seven fine big
work horses, all of his harness, a wag-
on, chickens, turkeys and some feed,
which We're all in the barn. He car
ried no insurance and the loss will be
very severe blow to him. Mr.. john
son is considered an Al farmer and
his personal effects were all of the
very best.
How the fire started is mystery.
Mrs. johnson was up at 2:3O o'clock
this morning to get the children q
drink Of water and everything seemed
to be all right at that hour, but at
four O'Clock the family was awakened
by a terrible roaring caused by the
flames and the structure was all
ablaze. The family rushed out to the
barn, but was unable to save anything:
The suffering stock could be heard
believing and grooming, but there
was no possible chance to save one OF
them.
Mr.. Johnson's personal loss is esti-
mated at fully $4,000 and he has the
sincerest sympathy of his many
friends over this very serious loss.

cood Causes and Poor Tunes.

Mr.. Bernard Shaw. who has fallen
foul of 1.-The Red Flag" which he re-
CARDS as AFFAIR that would ruin any
movement, seems TO forget that many
a good cause has been supported by
a poor tune. The Belgian national an
them is a remarkably inane melody
but that did not impair the resistance
of Liege. And neither the words nor
music of "God Save the King" are
particularly uplifting. The air OF
'LiIlibullero," that is said to have
whistled James II off the throne OF
England, cannot have been a very dis
tir@uished one, for nowadays no
one seems to know what it was. On
the other hand the Russian national
anthem was easily one of the most
stirring examples Of its kind in Eu-
rope. but it did not save Russia from
collapse. If the sOviets have provided
a substitute for it the result would
probably please Mr.. Shaw as little as
"The Red Flag" which he considers
should be rechristened 1.-THE Eternal
March of a Fried Eel."-Manchester

MARVELLOUS Is HUMAN MIND
Five Hundred Million Brain Cells Re-
sponsiVe to the Call of Ruler
of the Intellect.

On a rough estimate, the brain con-
tains 5OO,OOO0OO cells. each having a
consciousness of its own. Your self
consciousness, your personality, should
be the master of all these willing
slaves.
They are the genii of the mind,
humbly waiting TO do your bidding;
guardians Of the vast stores of ideas
that you, more often than not without
realizing it, have gathered along life's
highway. Are you one of the reck-
less kind, who have mo idea" or are
YOU In the ranks of the sensible, who
summon the spirits of the intellect to
their aid?
How is this done? Nothing more
simple Get the problem fairly and
squarely into your head, and then for
get 1t! The little GENT Of the brain
refuse TO be coerced; humOr them,
however, and there is no limit to what
they can, and will, do f3T you. You
have TO make a decision. Turn the
problem round and round in your head
till YOU are giddy. you will get no near
or to the solution. Put ii away from
you. Don't force your thoughts; leave
them alone, and behold, suddenly,
when you least expect it, the idea You
have been searching for will jump into
your mind, to be instantly recognized
as the idea you wanted.
The magicians of the brain would
appear to be more amenahle to temi-
nine than masculine rule, for the prov
cribs of all nations agree that wOmen's
best ideas are her first ones, while
man has to wait for second thought II
he would act rightly.
Our search for ideas, too. must ne
systematic if we want to get hold OF
useful ones.
According to the PlatOnic philos-
ophy, ideas are the universal types or
hich individual specimens are the
mere or less imperfect copies; so that
we need not be downhearted If we
cannot carry out our ideas in practice
exactly as they occur to us in the
mind.
