EARLY MORNING FIRE
DESTROYS STORE AT BLABON

About half past four o'clock,
Monday morning, the early risers in
Blabon noticed a peculiar brilliancy
which did not seem natural and a
hurried investigation proved that
Sund Bros. Store was on fire. The
alarm was Immediately given and
everyone grabbed clothing that was
handy and rushed to fight the flames
1t was Immediately evident that
nothing could be done to save the
building that was on fire so every
one devoted their energy to keep 9TH
er buildings from burning. Chemi-
calls, bucket brigades and now shovels
were used to such good effect that
the fire was confined to the che store.
Messrs. c. A.. and j. A. Sund start
ed in business about three years ago
and at the time of the fire had a nice
stock of goods and were doing a
thriving business. Their loss is about
$12,000.00 and they carried about
100000 insurance. The origin of
the fire is unknown but was prob
ably due to an overheated stove.
Sund Bros. are now making plans
to build a new building and install a
new stock of goods as soon as poss-
ible.

GOOD CITIZENSHIP

The good citizen must not be satis-
fed always to be a mere observer
and critic. The time comes when, if
he has brains and ability, he will be
asked to do something for his home
community and his country.
1t is here that the good citizenship
of many men breaks down. They are
willing to talk very e%loQuently about
the faults of government. They spend
many pleasant hours in their W
easy chairs, reading about the mis-
takes of politicians. But is they are
asked to stand in the gap themselves,
to take their share of public work, to
accept some public Office that will
require time and attention, they have
plenty of alibis. They can not afford
to neglect their own business.
And so it happens that nine out OF
ten of the men best qualified to give
this country good government, are
not willing to accept public Office in
the state and nation.
In Hope a somewhat larger pro-
portion of them will take local offices
not calling for absence from home.
But it often difficult to get the best
qualified man to stand even for those
positions.
There will never be efficient gov
eminent until the men of best ability
show greater willingness to take
their share of service. The loss of
time would not be as serious as they
feel. A competent business man
should at all times have understudies
who could carry on his work for IL
time. He should be able to take such
a position as that of representative
to the state legislature without doing
his business any lasting harm. II all
able business and professional men
were willing to make this small sac
rifice, the government would be con-
Quoted 50 much better that they
would be amply rewarded for their
effort.

CLEAN SEED
Hitch Your Grader to Your Gas En-.
CINE and Fan and Fan-Do a
Good Job; Money In It.

Seed wheat is so bad this year that
It will be necessary to do some very
radical cleaning with the tanning mill.
All Of the shriveled and diseased ker.
nels should be famed out. Probably
enough seed may be had on almost
any farm if the tanning and grading
is done severely enough. 1t has been
claimed by many farmers that all
seeds, large and small, will grow equal.
~ well, but this is not so. A plump
seed carries it's own food until such
time as the shoots and rootlets may be
sprouted sufficiently to take nourlsh.
ment from soil and air. The seed must
carry enough plant food so that it will
produce a strong plant.
The tanning mill should operate both
by screen agitation and wind blast.
Some farmers do not use the tanning
mill, because it is the only machine
on the farm that they cannot ride, but
it is q very simple matter to hitch up
the hind leg Of your Ford and run the
tanning mill with a belt. You prob.
ably have a gasoline engine for other
work. Hitch it to your tanning mill
and do a good job.
You cannot take too much care in
preparing your seed for this year. Seed
is scarce and high. You are guilty Of
criminal negligence, If you omit to do
so. Now is the time for every man to
give patriotic service and reconstruc-
ton must begin with food and food
Is based on wheat.

untimely death occurred.
War interrupted the brief marital
happiness of the young couple when
Mr.. Stark Joined the colors in April

HOW TO WRITE ADVERTISING

AAD A0A4NO
The way to describe an article so
as to make it seem attractive, is to
print interesting details about it. An
excellent way to get these details is
to ask the salesman Of the house that
distribute them, what points should
be brought out in advertising his
goods.
Started on this theme any sales
man can give plenty of good talking
points on his stuff, all of which will
convey real information. When you
cut just talk out of an ad, and put
i real facts tending to show what the
goods are and how they are made,
then you appeal to the public's COM
mon ems and you convince them.
If You state where a article is
made and what it is made Of, the
public feels that the producers of it
stand behind their goods and are
frankly willing to show up Just how
they are made. Catalogs Of whole
sale houses contain much informa-
ton about goods that will make re-
tail advertising more interesting.

WOMAN'S CLUB EN-
TERTAINS MINERVAS

A most interesting meeting of the
Woman's Club was held at the home
of Mrs. Joslyn last Thursday even
ing when the members of the Min
erva Club were entertained. After
the regular business of the Club was
transacted, the evening was given
over to music and a formidable"
discussion; the question being "Is
Woman's love of dress a barrier to
success"
Mrs. X. w. Haviland and Mrs. E.
]. Walsh took the affirmative side
of the question for the Woman's Club
and assured all present that wo-
mans love of beautiful clothes; time
wasted in study of fashion maya
zines; family disturbances over the
price of a new hat, ETC., were all
serious handicaps to numberless
would-be successful women.
The Misses Eaton and Slaney, rep
resenting the guests, however, pre-
sented many convincing arguments
on the negative side of the question
and showed that the love of dress
was an asset in many cases and cited
such instances as the Queen of She
ba, Empress Josephine and others.
The question vas then placed be-
fore the gathering and a lively dis
cussion followed calling forth much
wit and wisdom from all present. The
evening closed with a very delight
full lunch.
