Harvest Fire at Reubens.

The first harvest fire reported
on the prairie this season occur
red near Reubens last Friday
when a granary and $50 sacks of
grain on the r. S. Curless place,
four miles northeast of that
town were destroyed. The fire
was thought to have been started
by a spark from the steam trac-
tor which was running the sep
arator.
The grain was the product of
the threshing of 25 acres of land
and was not covered by insur-
ance. Threshing of the field had
just been finished. The straw
pile also was consumed. The
place is being leased by Roy
Wood. The tractor and separa-
tor were saved from the flames.

FURNITURE BUILT TO LAST
Constructed Of Concrete, 1t Can Defy
Even the AbnormaIIy Destruc-
tive Small Boy.

Furniture manufacturers say that
it is hard for them to get enough OF
the various woods needed in their
business. They have been reduced
to yeneers about as thin as coat
of varnish for some of the old fa-
yorites. The solid stuff is rare. In
the search for substitutes they took
to pouring concrete ships in place of
wood and steel vessels. Now that
they are pouring blocks of concrete
homes for tenements and concrete
cottages for our toilers they may as
well pour concrete furniture at the
same time. A stone dining-room
table surrounded by a group of i'm
movable and nonbustable concrete
chairs would be possible and com
paratiyely cheap. Nowadays ma
hogany davenport may cost $1,000
or less, but when contractor is put
ting in a fireplace he might as well
pour concrete davenport to face it.
1t would be durable and could be
made quite comfortable with stack
of feather beds. If house were
fairly stocked up with this concrete
furniture there would be no danger
Of burglars backing in with NOV
ing van and carting the stuff off in
the absence of the owner.

 Created by Ant

Selma, September 16.-(Special.)- )- At least one Selmian has grievance against the Argentine ant, and would like to see the town rid entirely of this ever present pest. as recital of recent unpleasant experience to a group of his Water street friends disclosed Wednesday.
 The young man in question, whose name is withheld out of kindness, as he would be subjected to grave em- barrassment if members of the dif- ferent committees soliciting funds at this time for launching the work of exterminating the ant should attempt to collect from him sums Of money commensurate with his real interst in ant extermination, laid him down to sleep Tuesday night with peace in his heart and no disturbing thoughts on his mind.
 About 3 in the morning he was aroused by sounds of peculiar in awake the swish and roar which seemed to fill the air, from thousands of soft padding feet and rushing winds, became concentrated, and he discovered its origin in left ear.
 An ant was in possession of the inner orifice and it's winding corri- dor seemed to afford him endless ou- portunity for turning and twisting and scrambling about, until finally deciding to seek the outer air.
 T think the surface was too highly waxed for him to keep his footing, 1" was the comment made by the af- flicted one, in recounting his experi- ence later.
