BIG FIRE DAMAGE
AT SANDSTONE

which was done without single
break in the service.
The Central Hotel formerly
the Madison HoteD owned by
Adolph S. Larson and rented and
operated by Geo. Stevens, which
was refurnished complete from
top to bottom late last summer,
as well as being painted and pa
pered inside and stucco finished
outside, is one pile of ruins. In
the basement of the hotel Newell
Smith had about $4,000 worth of
pickles stored which he had
planned to ship the following
day. From the hotel corner and
on down the street the following
businesses were completely
wiped out: Hans Halvorson,
grocery and confectionery store;
Geo. Wolf, barber shop; Frank
Smith, pool hall and soft drinks;
DIR. Ernest Bertels, dentist; M.
Bulls, real estate; Bell Telephone
Co., central office and mlscella-
neous records and supplies; Har-
ry Madison, furnished rooms;
Kimball Meat Market, meat and
groceries; Chris Rudisuhle, tire
repair shop and auto repairing;
Mrs. Smith, restaurant.
All in all there were twelve
individual business places made
homeless and several of the ow.
ners are busy trying to find tenn
porary quarters. The telephone
company was perhaps the first to
secure a location, getting a pri-
vate house directly across the
alley, and their crew was busy
yesterday setting poles and get
ting other material to the place.
The drug store, Klein's Clothing
House and Whites pool hall is
all that remains of the block
Mr.. Whites building is of brick
and the flames were checked
sufficiently to not damage the
building, a force however was or
hand ready to move out the in.
side furnishings in case the
flames had gone through.
There were six individual
buildings destroyed as follows
Adolph S. Larson's hotel; the
Brick Block, owned by Bulls
and Jepsen; a wooden structure
with rooms upstairs owned by
Harry Madison; and three indi
vidual business houses owned by
Hans Jepsen. It was impossible
to get an accurate estimate Of
the entire loss, but from various
reliable sources it was thought
that the buildings and contents
| would amount to 100000. As
far as could be learned all the
buildings and business places
were covered at least partly by
insurance. However, it will be
very serious loss for many Of
them.

MODERN HOUSEWIFE
HAS NO TIME TO
WASTE ON CANVASSER

An eminent economist, former
ly of the University of Wisconsin,
has discovered that there is no
economy in buying of canvassers.
In giving advice to women shop
pers, he says that retail stores
sell more reliable goods at lower
prices than do travelling sales
men. Also this same economist
calls women's attention to the
fact that goods may be purchased
at stores more quickly and at
times set apart for the purpose,
whereas the agent or canvasser
usually comes at the most mop
perfume moment, interrupts the
busy housewife who knows that
time spent in such way sadly
interferes with the household
routine. In the old days women
seemed to have more time to
give to the canvassing and cata-
logue method of buying, for their
households were not systematized
and there was no routine of work
to be interrupted. But in this
modern world women have dis
covered that time is money to
them as well as to their men
folk. Therefore the up-to-date
housewife systematizes her
housework and is justly annoyed
when a needless ring of the door
bell or telephone interferes with
her routine.
She has no time to order by
catalogue and return goods. In
her busy schedule there is time
set aside for shopping when she
concentrates her effort and buys
as her husband would buy for a
business. The women who are
just looking about" are seldom
found nowadays asking for a
clerks time and wasting their
own. They watch the advertise
ments in the newspapers to see
where they can buy to the best
advantage; they make careful
shopping list, and when they get
down town there is no time
wasted.
Therefore, the advertiser who
calls by telephone to tell
woman about his product knows
little about modern feminine
habits. He is antagonizing the
woman and making her want to
avoid his particular article when
she buys. Such an advertiser
would never think of calling a
business office and mterrupting
a busy man with an advertising
speech. The average house
keeper is rapidly becoming as
businesslike as her husband. She
has system for her days work
and does not enjoy having it in
terfered with. When the time
comes to shop she will shop,
and when the time comes to
decide on what she will buy she
prefers to choose that time and
usually it is the quiet hour in
the early evening when she takes
the evening paper, runs over the
advertisements and quickly
marks on her shopping list what
she wants to buy.the next day.
Just now the systematic
housekeeper lis shopping ex-
tensively, for January is the
month when she replenishes her
household supplies at bargain
prices as well as filling in empty
spots in her own and her chill
dren's wardrobes. Duluth Her.

been heard suggesting that the

carrying on the trade between

considerable interest among some

Sweden Praised.
Olof 2. Cervin, an architect of

current issue of the American
School Board Journal an article
on Sweden, its Education and
School Houses, in which he
praises the foresight and the eff
fective methods illustrated by
certain phases of the educational
system of Sweden. He also calls
attention to the characteristics of
school architecture in Sweden,
and points out that school-house
builders in the United States
might profit from a study of this
special architecture.

CATION DESCRIBES SOVIET SCHOOLS

as comrades. They feel free to make
any grievance or complaint to them
that they may have. And as the direc-
tor of Saratov University said, they
are always given sympathetic and due
consideration.
Another change which has devel-
oped in Russian education since the
revolution pertains to the courses in
the different colleges and institutes.
For example, at Saratov University
the school of economic rights has been
substituted for the old school of law.
In the school in economic rights, law
becomes less legal and formal and
more economic and social. In the
school of medicine at Saratov Univer.
sity biology has replaced anatomy as
the center of medical science.
Technical Needs Great.
Altho art music and philosophy
are included in the curriculum of Rus
sian colleges. and institutes, technical
and practical training in the electrical
and mechanical arts is emphasized.]
This sort of training is emphasized
in the Soviet Union because there is
a dearth of technicans and experts,
Russian industries need to be ex-
banded and developed, but this can
not be done without well-trained tech
nicians and Industrial experts.
Practically all Russian students re-
ceive some financial aid from trade
unions. A great many live in student
quarters for which they pay nothing.
They travel on the railroads for half
fare, AID get reduction on theater
tickets, text books, and journals.
There are special student mutual aid
organizations in Leningrad, Kharhov,
Kiev, and other cities. Everything
possible is done to encourage students
to remain in school and to secure jobs
for them when they finish.

SCHOLARSHIPS
FOR WORKERS
SCHOOL GIVEN
Unions Are Offered Big
Opportunity

NEW YORK. Oct. 21.-The Work
ers' School OF New York is offering
scholarships to trade unions, work
mems circles, fraternal organizations
and all other working class organiza-
tions.
The Workers School is doing all in
it's power to help the workers Of this
city in their struggle for better condi-
tons and stronger organization, and
the curriculum it offers is devoted to
the needs of the working class.
Training Leaders.
It hopes to train members Of unions
for leadership in their organizations.
For this reason it offers 38 courses,
which include such subjects as trade
unionism. labor problems, history Of
the American working class, labor
journalism, English and public speak
ing. 1t has purposely made the fee
very low so as to enable all workers
to attend the classes.
BY paging $25 to the Workers
school union and other labor organiza-
lions are entitled to send one repre-
sentative to the school for one year
two terms), the representative hav-
ing the right to take four courses
each term. Fifty dollars entities the
organization to two representatives;
800 to five; 5000 to ten, etc.
An Opportunity.
Unions should take advantage of
this offer to send some of their more
capable members for more thoro
training. Organizers, business agents,
executive board members, shop chair
men. etc, should be given such schol-
arships. thus making possible more
effective work on their part in the fu-
ture. Promising members who are
not in a position to register for
courses should also be helped and
financed by their organizations thru
scholarships offered.
