Dan Patch, Was Born De-
stroyed Last Might

The old Savage barn, where Dan
Patch was born, trained, reigneo as
king of PAGERS, and died, was burn
ed last night says The Minneapolis
Tribune.
The barn was built twenty years
ago by the late NJ. w. Savage on his
known, stock farm

timated at 100000, with, $4,000 in
insurance, by J. r. Stewart and
Axel Hansen, the present owners: -
R. c. King Hondyke- Colantak-
Ormsby, the pride of the present
farm, occupying the stall which
housed the famous Dan Patch, was
rescued with his horns burned and
his sleek coat singed.
A Holsteiin bull calf, destined to
a place among the great, ana
groomed for months for exhibition
at the 1922 Minnesota State Fair,
rushed from a wing of the barn
where the fire was at its height ana
plunged panic striker, in Credit
river a few hundred yards away.
Savage, once a race followers
paradise of 1000 souls, has a pop
ulation now of $50.
Devotion to the breeding of pure
bred cattle now is the business OF
the $50 which cling to the village.
rheir memories are crowded, how
ever, with the lore of the great Dan

1t was in the barn which was
burned last night that Dan PATCH

that he was a champion to- be The
day that Dan Patch, most beloved
of all horses ever owned by M. W..
Savage, went a mile on Licking

horse occupying a box stall in the
barn. George Gano, 2:05, famous
as a saddle horse, Roy Wilkes.
Reno Gano and a host of other
lesser lights received their first
lessons there.
The fire last night was caused
by spontaneous combustion in 20

old barn, which covered four acres.
M was discovered by Mr.. Hansen.
who lives half a mile away, and
within Is minutes the structure was
a mass of flames.
Volunteer firemen from the will
age tried to utilize a water tank
nearby to stop the flames, and
when they failed call was sent to
the Minneapolis fire department,
but when the apparatus finally
crossed the bridge the barn was
in ashes.
The first work was the rescue or
IS pure bred Holstein cattle, valu-
ed at $125, 900. All were led out ex-
cept one COW valued at $500. This
animal was burned in her stall.
Two calves from this cow recently
sold for $500.
The Savage barn was built III
1904 by NJ w. Savage. The enclos-
ed half mile track, the only one in
the world. was built few years
later. A mile track known as one of
the fastest in the country, was
added, and the investment finally
reached $500, 200.
Dan Patch died in the barn on
July IL, 1916, Just thirty two hours
before the death of his owner in
Hillcrest hospital
Mr.. Hansen said last night that

regional rescue work organized and
functioning under one head 1t Is

be given more attention, he said.

sion workers from all parts Of the
district will attend. Efforts are be-
ing made to have some of the Off

MINNESOTA POTATO Crop

UNITED Press DISPATCH ,r.
st. Paul. August 16.-With good
luck from now on. Minnesota farm
ers will market one-tmth of the
country's total potato crop this fall.
The states estimated production
will be over 4e,0O0,900 bushels and
the estimated production for the
country is 10000, 900 bushels.
Marketing the crop will be the
most difficult ster. according to ag-
riculturalists. The coal and rail
strikes have created n trahfc stu
alton that means q car shortage.
II the potatoes can be marketed
in time however farmers are viz
tually assured a fair price, II Is said
There are several seasons.
Minnesota is producing almost
twice as many potatoes as last year,
but the country at large is not ex-
ceeding last years production by
any such mark. North Dakota and
northern Wisconsin are also pro-
ducing a good many more potatoes
than last year, but the increase Is
not as great as in Minnesota.
Because the northwest Is produc-
ing a big crop, it is expected cars
will be made available under emer
gency orders, II traffic conditions
have not returned to normal by the
time the crop movement is under
full way. Minnesota will have to
furnish much Of the -country's pota-
toes. and they err heTs. ssid !. e.

Getting Back to Normal

Redwood Falls Gazette: There is
much said in these times about the
high cost of living and the blame
is variously laid on tle manufac-
turer, the middleman, the working
man, the farmer, and where not. At
a matter of fact, however, the con-
sumner is probably as much to blame
as anybody. If the public wishes to
really reduce the cost OF living, it
must get back to the scale Of living
which obtained forty years ago.
Substitute horses or oxen for auto
mobiles, cheap stoves for heating
plants, denim and calico for the
more expensive weaves worn now,
brogans and plough boots for the
expensive footwear, dirt roads for
the paved highways, and so on
through the list. BY this means the
cost of living can be appreciabiy
lowered. The public and the politi-
clans talk glibly about getting
back" to something or other in the
good old days of the past, but we
suspect that were they to be com
PEELED to actually revert to the
means and methods Of the past
they wouldn't like 1t.
