ing to United Press reports. One
balloon, a German entry, collapsed

A French balloon, piloted by
Georges Ravanine and Georges
Blanchet, came down in a corn

struck ditch as it descended sud-
denly.

could not determine which entry it
was This craft was sighted over
LionShead, Ontario, on the east
shore of Lake Huron, and later was
believed to have passed over Code

WORLD FAIR VISITORS
CAN STOP OUT OF
contested TRAFFIC

An enterprising town in Illinois
has accomplished a dual purpose
when it has arranged for stopping
places for Worlds fair tourists; il
has helped itself and its citizens from
financial standpoint and the con-
venience will be appreciated by many
visitors to the fair who will not want
to get into the more congested quar-
tiers of Chicago on their arrival, pos
sibly too late for sightseeing during
the day. A news report coming from
Libertyville, ILL.,, the town mentioned
has the following to say about the
arrangement:
For the convenience of visitors
from the north and northwest using
the Radio Route to A Century of Prog
ress in Chicago, complete tourist
bureau has been established in Liber-
tyville, ILL.,, by the business men and
civic interests of that village.
Libertyville is the last vantage
point from the northwest for those
wishing to stop near the Fair and yet
remain free of the heavy traffic and
congestion of the City proper. Located
in the heart of a beautiful lake region,
village of splendid modern accom-
modations, just IS minutes from the
Gates Of A Century of Progress. offers
many advantages"

BIG FIRE VISITS
STURGEON LAKE
Blaze of Incendiary Origin
Burns Whole Business
Block There.
Cunningham Nero. Co. and
Pool Hall Will be
Rebuilt.

A fire of such magnitude as to wipe
out large portion of Sturgeon Lakes
business section occurred Friday
night at about o'clock. The fire is
thought to have started from an in
cendiary origin in the warehouse OF
the Cunningham Mercantile Co., and
by the time it was noticed by any one,
it had gained such Roadway that it
was impossible to save much or to
eXtinguish it until it had destroyed
all of the block of frame buildings
the Cunningham Mercantile Co., the
old Sturgeon Lake hotel building,
warehouse of the mercantile estab-
lishment and old Sturgeon Lake Lum-
Der office. When it was seen i'm
possible to control the fire the vol
unteer fire fighters of that community
together with the Willow River and
Moose Lake fire departments COM
bined efforts to keep the flames from
spreading to the bank on the south,
Kolosky's hardware store on the west
and a warehouse on the east. By
hard and valiant effort these build
ings were saved, although the win
dows in the bank were broken and
the window frames and sashes were
charred by the inferno of heat. The
gross loss is estimated at about $780,
600 with partial insurance coverage.
Four Businesses Affected.
Four business places felt the sting
OF the flames as their establishments
were entirely wiped out They are,
the Cunningham Mercantile Co., OPP
Grated by Mr.. and Mrs. Kenneth
(Dutch) Gay, as principal owners;
pool hall, operated by Erick Erick-
son; Ernest Newbloom Barber Shop
and the Duluth Creamery & Produce
Co. cream station, managed by E. T.
Indquist of Moose Lake.
: 1t is understood that arrangements
are being made to rebuild the Cum
bingham store and Erickson pool hall
and in this event the building will be
of fire proof construction, that being
in compliance with village ordi-
nance.
The hotel building which burned,
was the oldest in the village having
been constructed in 1898. Mr.. New
bloom, the barber, who lost all his
equipment in the fire has procured
other equipment and is temporarily
located in the rear of Barnes Cafe

BUREAU BUILDING
LOAN FUND FOR
RURAL STUDENTS

Creation of a Farm Bureau Stu
dent Loan Fund for the use of worthy
farm boys and girls in attendance at
schools of agriculture is announced
by Mrs. E. V. Ripley, home and COM
munity chairman for the farm fedora
tion

tributions from the County Farm Blu
reaus throughout the state, and will
be administered, under rules pre-
scribed by the Minnesota Farm Blu
reau, by the principals of the Mime
sofa schools of agriculture.
There is great need for such fund,
according to j. O. Christianson, prin-

HIGHWAY WORKERS
TO HELP PROTECT
PHEASANT NESTS

Ringneck pheasants which courage
ously chose the grassy sides of trunk
highways for their nests have won
the official protection of the State
Highway department.
Discovering that hundreds of nests
have been built along the roads, N.
w. Elsberg, highway commissioner.
this week issued orders that EMPLOYEES
OF the department do all in their
power to guard the birds during the
Matching season.
1T is the belief of the State Con-
servation department that a material
increase in the supply of ringneck
pheasants may result from giving
roadside nests some protection" Com
missioner Elsberg said ACCORDINGLY
section workers and other employees
have been asked to take all precau-
lions to avoid destroying nests while
carrying on maintenance operations"
On one maintenance section more
than 20 nests were reported in less
than 80 miles, with no special search
being made for them.
