DANIELsoN

Thousands of young pines were de- stroyed Tuesday. in a forest fire that swept over hundreds of acres of wood land south of DanielSon in territory that. extsnds along the westerly shore of Quin- eoerg lake and westward to the state nlghway running between Danielson and Wauregan-
 The loss is one of the most serious caused by a forest fire in this territory Tor several years and is particularly re- Eretted because 1t involved a large acre age set cut about decade ago to seed Ing white pine which was houriShing and just entering its first real stage of aovelopment
 The seedlings were set out by direction Of J. Arthur Atwood, then owner of property that he has since deeded to Inc Wauregan company, in which he holds heavy interest. Men worked for weeks "a setting out the baby pines, the growth pf which through the years that have followed has been watched with interest and admiration by thoJsands familiar with the territory.
 ThooEh they worked like beavers, crews of fire fighters that grew in num- Der as the day wore on were unable to check tho fire. There were many times when the fire seemed under control, but Q shfft In the strong wind that was AA would throw sparks Into unburned ter ritory and in as short a space of time as 90 seconds the fire would be racing through the long dry grass and in five minutes raging through 8 new area with ths battle against the flames again in full swing.
 There were times when as many as halt a dozen different fires were burning ehr0ught the big area that was flame swept. These fires in some instances were nearly e mile apart, keeping the fighting forces divided.
 The Wauregzn company sent up many men. Others came from Danielson and from all the territory near where the fire raged- There were times when it seemed that the efforts of 800 men would be re- quired to hold the fire. Yet when the blaze first started near the state highway where a side road makes of 10 lead over what Is known al the Shepard Hi1 bridge, at the north end Of the lake. a dozen men could have put lt out within few minutes. according tC Jerome and Stanley Keech, who wert among the first to engage with handful of others in the fight against the fire.

SUCCESSFUL SALE
s. A. Walker. Of Real Estate
Fame Conducts Great
Sale at Somerset.

Our local townsmen. Messrs Carl
ton Elkin and 8. A. Walker, have been
holding some successful sales recent
ly, but the one conducted at Somer-
set las, week. by Mr.. Walker seems
TO have capped the climax from what
the Somerset Commonwealth says;
about IL. Here's what IL says:
The big lot sale Tuesday Of the
Huffaker addition was one Of the
greatest successes ever pulled off in
Somerset in real estate deal. Every
lot was sold at a good price and all
purchasers were satisfied. and many
business men doubtless now realize
their mistake by no, having been a
purchaser Of some % these lots in this
wonderful addition. The event was
staged by the Johnson-walker Realty
CO.. under the direct supervision and
management Of Mr.. 8. A. Walker, Of
Lancaster. KY. who has previously
enjoyed wonderful sale successes in
Somerset. Be sure to attend the sale
when you see his name on a bill. His
name guarantees success as he never
offers anything unless 1t is the very
best, and he always sells.

who assisted Col. Toombs in putting
the sale over so successfully.

The Spirit That Wins

The cultivation Of n frater-
nal spirit has much TO do with
the success Of a local commun-
ity.
Where the population is linn
tied the indifference or selfish
ness of a single individual ex-
erts depressing effect upon
Others. and this attitude of pes
simism in time permeates the
whole community. Men and
women who really desire TO adj
vance the interests of them
selves and their neighbors find
Il difficult to work to advan-
tage when disafected ones are
continually throwing a wet
blanket over every new project
that is proposed.
Investigation and discussion
are both commendable and de-
sirable. but pessimistic remarks
and pulling back in the COM
munity harness are on a par
with a balky horse. They rem
der more or less futile the eff
forts of those who would push
forward TO ultimate achieve
ment.
A community of brothers
working together in harmony
is far better than one of OPP
ponents pulling in oppoite di-
.ections.

Seventeen-year Locust
Due in Illinois. Iowa and Indiana

The i7-year locust. or cieada. as II
is more properly caleld, may be ex-
peeted this year in Illinois and south
ern Wisconsin. with small broods
along the Lakes. In Indiana. on hte
border Of Lake Michigan, and in the
southern tier Of counties in the State

ring noise Of the cicada will be heard
A big brood will appear in eastern
Iowa.
Unlike the locusts Of the Bible,
which were really destructive grass
hoppers. the i7-year eidada does but
little damage 81 serious nature.
Interest in il is due chiefly to its un-
usually long life cycle. The Bureau
Of Entomology Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture will wei.
come observations on this years oc-
currence in order to maintain t. rec
ords, from which is forecast the re-
appearance Of the various broods.
There are about 80 broods Of the IL

States in different sections and APP
pearing in different years. From
