contracts in order that constructive
WORK might proceed He said that he
would accept for the present the certifi-
ciuon OF his own department heads,
pacing the burden for errors in book
aseplng upon the City Controller if any
mistakes should arise.

q fire in the stove and went out TO

house they found IL in flames and
before help could be summoned. the
fire had made such progress that
nothing could be saved. A sew

which the children managed to
carry out. we're the only articles of
furniture saved. Clothing and ev-
erything else was total loss. in
cluded in which was nearly new
piano. We understand that $5OO.OO
insurance was carried.
The origin OF the fire was prob
ably due to an over-heated stove
pipe. as the fire seemed TO have
started In the ceiling.
The loss was indeed a serious one
for Mr. Sweiger and family and
more so because they were away
from home. otherwise they might
have saved at least a part and the
family keep-sakes. A generous do
nation OF funds was secured by
John A. Spohn and ". A. Rice. who
called among our people Saturday
and this will help in measure in
re-establishing the home.

From every point of view pure-bred
cattle give security. The farmer who
raises them has fewer worries over
high feeds, increasing freight rates,
decreasing soil fertility and poor
bank credits. Because his business is
on a more economical basis his mar
gin of profit is greater than that of a
scrub raiser. Because his margin of
profit is greater he can weather a
market slump that crushes other
beef raisers. There is more demand
for his superior kind Of cattle-right
