RISING WINDS TANNING
MINNESOTA FOREST FIRES

ST. PAUL, Minn.-The potential
menace of forest fires, burning in
the northern and central Minnesota,
has risen Friday with the wind, and
military and forestry officials direct
ing the work of fire fighting expressed
fear that the situation would show no
sign of abatement, according to re-
ports from the fire zone.
The most serious aspect OF the
whole situation, according to Maj. R..
E. Gillespie, assistant to Adjt Gen.
Rhinow, of the Minnesota National
guards seems to be that the fires, As
miles west, northwest, and southwest
of Duluth are forming a semi-circle.
If these fires join and high wind
spring up, officials said, there is no
doubt that it will spell havoc to the
small communities in that district
Menacing fires also were reported
to w. T. Cox, state forester, from Koo-
chiching county, where 400 men are
battling the flames which have burned
over more than 10000 acres.

MOTHER DENIED CHILD:
NO LOVE, COURT HOLDS

RACINE, believing that the
future welfare Of girl of 7 depended
entirely on her remaining with Mr..
and Mrs. j. G. Nelson, Racine, Judge
Walter Palmer Friday refused to
award the custody of the child to her
mother, Mrs. Irene Henrichs, wife of
Charles Henrichs, champion light
weight pugilist of the Pacific coast,
and who had brought habeas corpus
proceedings to regain possession of
her child
The child, Alice Hoff, was born to
Edward and Irene Hoff in January,
1915, and year later the parents
were divorced. Custody of the child
was awarded the mother, who left her
when Is months old with Mr.. and Mrs.
Nelson, then residing in Kenosha. In
March, 1920, Mrs. Hoff married Hen
richs, then at Great Lakes Naval
Training station.
A month ago Mrs. Henrichs de-
manded that the Nelson's return the
child to her. They refused, asserting
the mother had given the child no at
tention and had not paid for its care.
They said the child had come to know
them as her parents. The court held
that the child has no love for it's
mother and that the rights of the
mother have been forfeited from lack
of interest in the child.

YEARS IN WAUPUN

j. E. Quayle and William Hoffman,
both of Appleton, will serve two years
in Waupun instead Of enjoying a pa
role for burglary committed at Wau-
paca, as the result OF listening to the
advice of Arthur King, Chicago Grim
inal, who was quartered in the Apple
ton Jail with the boys. King is one
armed man and wanted to escape, but
had to have assistance. He therefore
talked the youths into plot after the
sheriff had assured them that freedom

LETHAL CHAMBER ASKED
FOR CANCER SUFFERERS

LONDON permitting
doctors to cause the death of incur
able sufferers from cancer is to be
sought from the ministry of health by
A. C. Cook, Bath city councillor, who
started his campaign for a lethal
chamber by enlisting the support of
his fellow councillors.
Doctors do not know the cause of
cancer; therefore they are in the dark
as to the cure" he says.
ut is brutal to allow people to be
dying, perhaps for year, with the
maligant fiber gradually eating their
life away. Somebody should take the
responsibility of ending their suffer
ing. Whoever did so would be con-
ferring a blessing on humanity

WRIGHT HOUSE
NOW ONE OF BEST
HOTELSN STA TIE

Lancaster now enjoys the distinc-
ton Of having one of the neatest look
ing, and in general, best country
hotels in the state. The Wright
House has been thoroughly over
hauled and re-decorated by the pro-
prietors, Oscar Wright and Frank
Fivecoat. This work has been car
ried on literally from cellar to garnet
and the whole presents vastly I'M
proved appearance.
The lobby, writing room and dining
room are particularly attractive. A
color scheme of soft light tints has
been carried out effectively and con-
siderable new furniture has added to
the pleasing effect.
1t seems that the Wright House is
CARRYING out in its best sense the idea
that one industry of certain kinds
properly maintained is better than
three or four ordinary institutions or
industries of the same kind. One
good telephone exchange is better
than two poor ones, few good stores
are better than a dozen weak ones,
one strong newspaper is better than
two or three struggling affairs. And
SO on.
A success of the one firm idea de-
ponds largely upon the spirit and
sense of responsibility of the pro-
prietors. 1t is quite evident that the
Wright House people have the right
ideas along this line.
