Fire Destroys Barnum Business
Buildings.

Fire early last Friday morning
almost completely destroyed two
business buildings at BarnIum
and threatened to wipe out the
whole town. The flames which
emerged from the dance hall over
Herman Gerlach's general store
were discovered at about 4 A. M.
but had gained such headway
that that and the adjoining build
ing were destroyed. The Moose
Lake fire department was called
in TO help the local FIRE fighters
and in about three hours the
flames were checked.
A dance had been held in the
hall that night and it ID thought
that perhaps the FIRE originated
from a cigar or cigarette stump.
The loss is estimated at about
$4,000 and is partly covered ~.

fuses to take it's share Of the bur-
den Of the defation is temporarily
retarding early recovery"
As to how far defation would go In
1921, he would make no prediction
but he asked his hearers to consider
the farmers whose products have de-
clined 80 to so per cent as refusing
to purchase implements, whose prices
remain unchanged; to consider the
laborer and his attitude toward a
reduced wage in the making OF steel
or farm implements so long as ne
nnds clothing, food and rents. and
other necessary living expenses, not
