Heating Problem Gaze
Little Concern Years Ago

The heating problem for the small
house was for our ancestors very
simple mechanical device. consisting,
as we all know, OF either the fireplace
or the stove. The former method still
has charm which we are not willing
to dispense with, although we do not
depend upon it's efficiency to do the
actual work of warming, but install
some more complicated system, such
as a steam-heating plant, to perform
sentimental and intellectual warmth
that no radiator can supply.
Even the stove has a certain fasci-
nation for many, recalling cold wintry
nights when the family sat about the
red-hot casting, the women knitting
and the men burning their shoe
leather and smoking Some advocates
of the stove are so energetic in their
arguments concerning the efficiency OF
this method of heating that one almost
doubts the defects which lead invent.
ors to manufacture other devices. But
the housewife knows the labor of
shoveling coal into three or four
stoves, knows the great clouds of hot,
fine ashes which rise into the atmos-
phere and settle upon the shelves, the
tops of picture-frames, and the polish
ed surface of the piano.
And the inventor saw the tired, worn
look of the housewife, removed the
stove to the cellar and installed tin
pipes from this central heater to the
various rooms, and then waited for
applause and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

D0WNPOUR FLOODS

DAMAGES ARE HEAVY


-CONNERSyILLE, Aug. 1S.-Damage
to property and to stocks OF mercnan-
disc in the retail establishments In
Connersville, which according 10 early
estimates will total sum of many
thousands of dollars, the neaVlest OF
its kind ever recorded in this city. was
caused by the deluge OF rain which
swept the city and surrounding sec
tions about noon Wednesday. The
down-pour. which at times assumed
the dangerous proportions of a cloud
burst and which was accompanied by
severe electrical shocks, lasted for haiA
an hour and during that interval two
and one-half inches OF rainfall was re-
corded by the government instruments
at the H. t. Swindler drug store on
Ninth street.
Excitement Prevailed.
The rain burst upon the city with
scarcely a moments warning. For
many minutes excitement ensued
among the residential quarters and in
some sections of the business district
a state of panic existed for a short
time, particularly when sheets of water
poured into store rooms through sky
lights that had given way under the
6eluge. Reports reaching Corners
Vile at 100 p. M, indicated that the
heavy rainfall had been general
throughout the county and that roads
in several sections had been consider
ably damaged. Loss of livestock was
not reported and it was understood
from the results OF brief survey that
lightning had not caused any great
damage.
During the down pour Connersville's
streets were deserted and hundreds of
people rushed to place Of shelter while
enroute to their homes for luncheon.
Sewers flooded and in several parts of
town water stood in the streets and
cutters to a depth Of two feet. Fire
men were called out to aid in clearing
the streets Of water.

One of the much talked Of inland
towns of this section is Four Towns,
located east of Grygfa, in the heart
Of a rapidly developing dairy coun-
try.
It is here where the Bemidjl
boosters were Toasted, when on an
auto trip through Beltrami county
ditch country last year, and where
is located one of the best creameries
in the country.
Four Towns has a general store,
post office and creamery, and sup
plies a we'll developed territory,
where real farmers are cultivating
the soil in a creditable manner and
producing crops hard to equal on
land in the southern part OF the state.
It is also predicted by those VINO
ought to know that a railroad Will
be built through this great farming
country in the near future, which
will accomplish the most toward 1ts
settlement. The bitches and roads
have helped thus far, but consider
