They took up a homestead in section

OWatOnna Fire
Races Factory;
Loss 500, 900

Fire which threatened nearby lum-
beryards and residents last week de-
stroyed the Owatonna factory of the
Creamery Package Manufacturing
Company, with a loss which accord
ing to HI. II. Sanders, branch man
ager, will exceed 100000.
A carload of lumber on hand for
manufacturing watts, churns, pasteur-
izers, starter cans and other cream
cry equipment was destroyed be-
sides the one-story frame building
which was 10Ox1OO feet in size. The
flames started in a corner of the
roof above the ceiling, and when the
lumber supplies started burning the
fire spread quickly and burned fierce
ly.
Fire Chief Andrew Erdman said
he was unable to determine definite
ly the cause. The burning roof was
discovered about a. m. and the
flames were beyond control by the
time the firemen arrived. Stocks OF
lumber in nearby sheds were saved
Houses south of the factory were
threatened, but did not catch fire
and three lumber yards in the vicin-
ity, the Botsford yard to the north
and the Hayes-Lucas and Alexander
yards to the south, were also threat

DISPLAYING LICENSE PLATES

The state law prohibits anyone
from driving a motor vehicle unless
license plates are displayed in both
front and rear in such manner as to
be plainly visible.
Originally number plates were in
tended only for Identification pur-
poses; today they are also a sign that
you have paid your tax for better
highways.
Some drivers, for obvious reasons,
purposely leave their license plates
dirty, or have them partly covered by
bumpers, trunks or baggage, so as to
make Identification difficult.
Others through pure negligence
leave the plates dirty or obscured.
This leaves them under the suspic-
ion that they want to avoid identifi-
cation.
If you are law-abiding driver, and
take pride in your citizenship. see
that your plates are clean and plain
ly visible from both front and rear.

DRIVING ON PAYMENTS

The law requires drivers of all We
hicles to stay on the right half of the
road except when passing other vehi-
cles or when road conditions make it
impractical.
On pavements keeping to the right
is especially important. Many drive
with the left wheel on the center line.
This is dangerous; if you meet anoth-
er driver doing the same thing, there
is an accident.
Standard pavements are eighteen
feet. If you keep your left wheels
two feet outside the center line, you
still have fully two feet between your
right wheels and the edge of the
pavement. Even if the right wheels
go out on the shoulders, nothing SER
ious happens. But if the left wheels
go too far left-read any newspaper
and see what happens.

A rather discouraging corollary of
this fact is that some individuals pro-
fit by the situation and ride free to a
fair degree of prosperity on the init
iative and generosity of the other
business houses in the community.
But grafters show their colors in the
course of time and do not profit in the
end, because the average individual
likes to show his appreciation of fair
play.-Princeton Union.

THRILLED BY
 REGENT RED GROSS WORK

When tempest, flood, fire, earth quake, explosion, pestilence, famine any of the horrors that seem to be waging intensive warfare against hu- manity-strikes, no one thinks nowa- days of organizing relief. They know that the Red Cross is on the way, and with medical aid, food, clothing, shel- ter and all that the emergency de- mands, it is rendering aid," states T. R. McEwen, chairman of the local Red Cross Drive.
 Everyone of us here has read and been thrilled by the insufficient piece of work it has been carrying on for the last six months in the Mississippi val ley, where more than 6O0,000 persons have been recipient of it's skillful and sympathetic service. But do we stop to realize that such work as this re- quires organization, training, material and money? It's queer that multi tudes of kindly folk who praise the American Red Cross when it puts over splendid piece of service like this, never think to look past the magnifi- cent what" to discover the unconsid- cred howl
