OLD LANDMARK DESTROYED .

About 2 o'clock Tuesday morning
were awakened by glare of fame
which reused them to immediate ac-
tion. One glance from the window
told the story, the livery barn was a
mass of flames and Hope was threat
ened with destruction.
Those who had telephones, immed-
itely sent warning to the central
office were switch is located that

operator threw the switch but there
was no response, the siren was dead

was sounded, it now failed to work
By this time Dobich and T. j. Smith
were on the street and shouting Fire
at the top of their voices and Chief OF
Police Johnson was ringing the old
fire bell. In few minutes, that
seemed hours to those who were
giving the alarm, the members OF
the Fire Department began to arrive
and get the apparatus in action. The
fire had spread to Kraabel's store
and everyone realized that it would
be hard fight to keep the flames
from jumping across the street to the
Bowen building to the south and the
hotel on the east. Two lines of hose
were coupled up and the fight began

ed ny the thousands OF blazing cln-
ders that were being carried on the
wind. Their work was made easier
from the fact that there had been a
good shower of rain a few hours pre-
vious. The fire department devoted
their attention to the two buildings
in the path of the flames. The heat
became intense and the fire fighters
wrapped themselves in wet blankets
in order to hold their positions.
At this time there was slight
shift in the direction of the wind
which was the turning point in the
victory for the fire fighters. 1t carried
the intense heat away from the. Bo-
Wen building and made the saving of
that building possible. They were
able to play two streams of water on
the hotel property.
During these long minutes another
great fight was going on in the City
Hall where the fire engine was To-
Gated. Shortly after the engine was
started it begin to heat, owing to
some defect in the cooling system.
Quart after quart of cylinder Oil was
carried from the Fuller Land Co.
garage and thrown on the cylinger of
the engine. Every explosion increased
the heat and the only question was
how long could it be kept going. The
boys on the nozzels saw the pressure
of the water growing less and less
and were praying that it would hold
out just few minutes longer and
the danger would be past. The
smoke and gas in the fire hall due to
the heat of the engine was suffocat-
ing. Another charge of oil was
thrown on the heated cylinder,
flash followed as it burst into flames
the end had arrived, the fight was
over, the engine died, but the build
ings had been saved.
1t has been over nineteen years
since Hope has had fire that
threatened the city, the one at that
time being the old Hope House hotel
building.
The cause of the present fire is not
definitely known but the indications
are that it was incendary origin. 1t
was on fire Sunday morning, May
/ 28th, but that blaze was extinguished
owing to there being no wind to fan
the flames.
Besides the buildings, the loss in
f, cludes, three head of horses belong
ing to Geo. Roy, two registered sows
belonging to Frank Bissell, covered
wagon and camping outfit belonging
to F. A. Tillotson valued at about
$40O, and the herse belonging to
Mrs. E. D. Washburn valued at about
$500. These were all the livery barn
and were uninsured. We understand
the barn was insured for about $24Oo
1t was owned by nonresidents.
Kraabel & Kraabel are the heaviest
loosers. They carried about $4,000
stock Of goods and an estimate of the
value of the building would place it
at about $4,000. 1t was one Of the
old landmarks having oeen quilt in
the early COS by Mr.. Wasen. The
loss is partly covered by insurance,
Mr.. Kraabel recently added a addi-
tional $4,000 to his insurance. Mrs.
! L. ]. Fullmer, Jr., who conducted
her millinery store in the building
suffered a total loss with no insur-
ance. Mr.. Kraabel has not an
nounced his plans for the future.

windows due to the heat and will
amount to several hundred dollars

IMPORTANT REIMBURSEMENT
FOR OUR CAAU1AuOuA
BIG PROGRAMS PROMISED FOR
FIVE DAYS STARTING sun
DAY, JULY 9TH.

Miss Helen kinnie a representa-
tive of the Vawter Chautauqua was
visitor here Saturday snd awaken
ed lot of new chautauqua enthu-
siasm, by voluntarily Offering a re-
vised contract for Tins season that
the local supporters and hackers feel
much better prospect Tor success,
and more favorable basis upon
which to operate.
There will be a reduction in the
price Of the season tickets, which
will be $500 for the total cost. The
contract itself is of cooperative
nature, and is considered by the
hackers here to be the most favor
able ever offered.
Briefly speaking, this new contract
provides for an equal division be-
tween the management and the local
hackers, of all receipts III excess of
$3.50. This includes receipts from
both the advance sale of season tick
cts and the gate money.
This arrangement has put new life
feel that the present season ought to
show decided increase over the
last, with the new contract In oper-
alton, which links us in more lefi-
mite and advantageous way with the
general management.
A wonderful program has been ar
ranged for, with the usual profusion
of good music, plenty of entertain
ment, and some strong lecturers. The
Junior Chautauqua for the children
has undergone some decided improve
ments.
Program Features
Among the musical features we
mention The Mercedes Melody Quar-
tet, four winsome girls, of fine voices
and entertainment instincts in
great variety of offerings. The Pre-
mier Artists Quintette, IS composed
of five finished vocal artists, seasoned
to the concert ssStform, and furnish
ing programs of exquisite beauty and
charm, from the great classics of
musical literature. Then there is the
Joymakers Quartet, which, as their
name would indicate, are equipped
for the funfest by the use of all the
known arts of musical entertainment
in vocal music, instrumental selec-
tions and novelty stunts galore, in
which they propose a jolly good time
for the Chautauqua patrons.
A Rousing Comedy.
A popular play entitled "a Pair of
Sixes," considered by many the great
est American comedy, which enjoyed
long run on Broadway, will be stag
ed by competent company, and the
Vawter people promise most de-
lightful evenings entertainment in
this. The plot is interesting and
abounds in comedy situations, ring
ing all the changes in love, advent
ure, romance, sentiment and pure
comedy. The press reviews indicate
that this is truly wonderful produ-
tion, and as we'll played comedies are
universally popular, this will GER
tainly prove to be winner.
Another play, along different line
and more in the nature of a drama,
will be enacted by Mr.. and Mrs. Glen
Wells. "Atonement" is the title, and
it is said to deal with the price that
is often exacted right here in this
life. 1t is said to be strong and grip
ping, play that leaves a lasting i'm
preston.
The Lecturers

AWEEK OF PLEASURE AND ED.
UCATIONAL ADVANTAGES.
ENROLL NOW.

The program of lectures, instruc-
tion, and entertainment for the Farm
Boys Encampment was announced
last week in this paper.
AS you have possibly noticed, the
program has been arranged with the
view of grouping the instruction into
various days so that those who are
unable to attend the entire program,
may attend on the days which inter-
est them the most. 1t is our desire
however, that all the farm boys of
Steele County will avail themselves
OF this great opportunity of practi-
cal and profitable instruction by at
tending the entire week.
The nature of the encampment is
such that those who reside in the
country or at great distances. may
enjoy themselves to the utmost after
the regular hours of the day, in the
encampment features. The order for
the day is as follows:

.FORD'S FOREIGN


TAe compilation OF the statistics
showing the work during 1921 Of the
Ford Motor Company reveals many
interesting points, both in domestic
ap4t foreign output, according to Ed,
Rudolph.
Canada and the export territory un-
der the Ford, Ontario, plant called
for 42,34S Ford cars and trucks. which
is practically the same number of
cars and trucks built at Manchester,
Buenos Aires, Copenhagen, Bordeaux,
San Paulo and Cadiz, the production
of these foreign plants being $4,000.
During December the Buenos Aires
plant enjoyed one of the best months
Of the year, assembling close to a
thousand cars. This was a consid-
erable increase over November busi-
ness. Sac Paulo also had better
month than in November, showing
that South American business was on
the incline,
During 1921 the Buenos Aires plant
built more than 5000 cars: Copen-
hagen, 5,b17; Bordeaux somewhat
more than 1000 with Sac Paulo and
Cadiz bringing up the rear.
AS these figures will show, Canada
is one OF the greatest Ford countries.

Triples Business
In Three Years

According to NJ. +. Barret, advices
received from Paul Hoffman OF Los
Angeles indicate that tripling the
business in three years is the record
that organization, which acts as
Studebaker distributor for Los An
geles. Starting in 1919 with 81 en-
ployes on the pay roll. the forces have
grown until there are now 1873 mem
bers OF the company drawing regular
pay checks. The gross volume of
business OF 1919 was slightly over
$2,000.000 and this wac tripled for
1921 with total Of $500, ,602, which
included Car sales and parts busi-
ness.
Soon after the firm took over the
retail sales of SLudebaker cars in
Los Angeles. which city had been
served hy a factory branch organi-
cation for a number OF years, the
firm felt the need of larger quarters.
A new store and service station was
built for them on South Figueroa
street, near Pico, and during the next
year a branch store at Hollywood
was opened with a service station.
Within the past six months IL has
been found advisable to open neigh
bsrhood service shop with no sales
department in connection with it,
This was placed in the residence
section in a location that investiga-
ton showed would be convenient TO
a large number of Studebaker own
ers.
The Paul G. Hoffman company
now occupies five buildings with a
total floor space Of 10000 square
feet.
Some idea OF the growth of the
car sales can be gained from the
registration of new Studebakers dur
ing the last three years. In 1919
there were $50 cars registered, while
1920 showed 925, and for 1921 the
first years business was more than
tripled with 1903 new cars.

AMAZON ARMY WAS

FOR DRIVE-AWA

Ed Rudolph states that sometime
ago he read in the newspapers of the
women's "4ssnazon Army which was
formed in the Pittsburg, Kansas. coal
mining district. This army was com
posed of tho wives daughters and
sweethearts of the striking miners
and was created to wage war against
all strike breakers. A huge parade
Of six thousand marchers was formed
and little girl daughter OF one OF
the strikers, lead the procession.
Among the many vehicles that were
pressed into service at the time of
the demonstration, were large num-
ber of Ford cars.
Rudolph states that many pictures
were taken OF the parade and that
from these photos, one would judge
the parade to be driveway from the
Ford factory.

"It is hardly possible to pick UP a
newspaper these days without not
Ing a reference to something new IN
the motor car industry" stated u. L.
Eidon. Improvements in springs
bodies. carburetors. motors, and other
important working parts OF the car

Altogether the tendency is to de-
crease first cost as far as is con-
sistent with good workmanship and
material, keeping constantly in mind
the fact that long life must be main
tanned and upkeep cost must be held
down to a low level.
THE most notable exception to the
general tendency to cut manutactur-
ing costs by substituting new mater
ials, new designs, and new methods
of production, is the automobile stor-
age battery. The staunchness with

turers hold to their standards and 70

CADILLAC OPENS
SCHOOL AGAIN

School days have reopened for au-
tomobile mechanics in many parts
OF the United States and Canada
with the resuming of the Cadillac
Motor Car company's widely known
technical school. Approximately one
thousand men have been graduated
since the Cadillao's school first
opened its activities IL years ago,
in 1910, in Detroit
To the technical school there has
been turned over all the automotive
equipment necessary, so that the
Cadillac mechanics selected from all
parts Of the country can learn first
hand the remarkable precision and
finesse exercised in the manufac
ture Of Cadillac cars.
Charles Rogers. q veteran Cadillac
employe who has risen from the
ranks, has direction of the school,
under Z. c. Garland. head of the
technical department In the general
offices Of the Cadillac at Detroit.
During the period OF their instruc-
ton. the students disassemble and
reassemble a Cadillac chassis, with
view to learning all Of the ad-
justment of the type 81 and also
CLEAN the salient differences between
II and the preceding models. The
students selected for the course are
by no means green mechanics, but
they are picked men from the vari-
GUS service stations. who are in
their turn to instruct others concern
ing the type 6l.
Directly one class is graduated,
another will be started, declared Mr.,
Garland, who has supervision over
the work OF the school. he added;
1T was begun originally as q
means OF making Cadillac service
the best service in the world and
we feel that the school has gone q
long way towards placing Cadillac
In the position 1t now holds in the
mind of the public"
In this course the men are shown
distinctly the interesting fineness OF
Cadillac manufs cture. They are af-
forded a chance to go through the
new <9-acre Cadillac main plant
and TO see first-hand with what
care the 500 special inspectors watch
each part used in the construction of
the type 81 motor car.
And IL is believed that the stu :
dents carry back TO their own or.
ganizations a closer conception Of
the ideal manufacturing conditions
at the main plant, and also closer
acquaintance with the accuracy of
Cadillac workmanship--two points
Of the many that have maintained
