Fire Races
Large Barn
Sunday
Land Mark On Ben F. Otte
Farm East Of City,
Destroyed
LIVE STOCK IS SAVED
Sank Centre Fire Department
Renders Valuable Aid
Neighbors Assist

The large stock barn and silo on
the Ben F. Otte farm, one and
one-half miles east Of Sank Centre
was destroyed by fire Sunday morn
ng at HOO o'clock. -.
Mr.. Otte was attending st. PauPs
church and as he came out of
church at HOO A. NJ, looking east
ward, he discovered that a serious
re was raging at his home.
When the fire broke out Mrs.
Otte and six children were at
home.
Fritz, the 20-year-old son, had
completed his mornings work, en-
cred the house and began to clean
np. Looking out of the window he
was Mortified to see smoke issuing
from the barn. He fastened out
and released the purebred Short
Horn herd sire, four younger bulls
and three heifers; all were gotten
out of the burning barn in safety.
All of the contents, including the
arm and silo were destroyed. The
main structure was 32x40 with base
ment, IS foot posts. There 16x40
leantos on either side of the barn.
The Sank Centre Fire depart
nent responded promptly and
eighbors gathered and rendered
aluable assistance.
There was strong wind blowing
rom the south, and but for the
prompt arrival OF the fire depart
ment very probably all of the build
ngs would have been destroyed.
The barn was one of the old
andmarks Of this section.
Fritz discovered that sparks had
set fire to the roof Of the house.
He had his younger brothers, Har-
old and Arthur, get upon the roof.
He passed water UP to them and
hey extinguished this blaze.
Mr.. Otte planned he had enough
eed to carry his stock through but
this was destroyed, save and except
about 40 tons of silage. The har-
ness and other contents Of the barn
were destroyed. The dairy cows
nd horses were not in the barn
when the fire was discovered. Fritz
had left the barn within ten min
utes Of the time he discovered the
fire.
Mr.. Otte was insured in the North
Fork Farmers Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Company. He carried. $1,000
on the barn and $500 on the silo.
His feed was fully covered. The
loss was adjusted Monday, Mr.. OF
tie being allowed the full face of his
policies.
None Of the other buildings were
damaged. ...
Mr.. Otte plans on building new
and modern structure to replace
the one destroyed by fire as soon as
he decides exactly what he wants
and can afford. r..

Some years ago, wishing to

pasting clippings in an old note
book with no regard to its val

until recently it came to light
and realized with horror that
valuable records were being
concealed from posterity and
laboriously today, have I soak

and the ink with which the re-
ports were made being almost
indelible, these rare archives
are thus preserved.

4 Letter on Nay Day by Man,eeH BodenIeir
Editor of Daily Worker,

Editor of Daily Worker,
Dear Comrade:
Not 50 long ago, that stsunef1 and
clarion-tongued defender Of the
working class, Haywood Broun, was
lolling in and around Miami, Fla,
and writing complacent, luxuriant,
conviWal accounts Of the race
tracks, the night clubs, the drinking
places, the celebrities taking time
off from their highly paid pander-
ings and other like items-all this
presumably, to substantiats his own
contention that "a great many news
paper men believe that labor news
does not get its fair amount of
space in American newspapers.
In his recent "attack" on Sender
Garlin. MIR. Broun blossoms out as
a defender Of the "humor" In the
capitalistic press accounts of the
May Day parade. This "humor" con-
sisted in every effort to describe the
grimly disciplined, gigantic, militant
celebration as an airy, negligible
circus, a riot of trivial fun and
frothy agitation, in which children
sulked pink ice cream OVERLOADED
chocolate bars and lollipops were
waved as banners Of rebellion, and
newspaper men, newsreel photogra-
pliers "pranced along right at the
head of the line, calling everybody
'Comrade'."
The last touch was undoubtedly
the foullest. Newspaper men Of the
Broun variety, observing the thou
sands of serious-faced, proudly
msssed, bravely protesting workers
tried, desperately, to ridicule these
workers, to show a gay and wise
cracking contempt for their united
indignation, and TO turn their hon
est, mutual form Of greeting into q
hippsnt parody accompanied by
prancings, by fake hurrahs.
The idea of '9humor," TO which
the Haywood Brouns and other
