year-old great dane, was very much
alive and barking today in a man.
ner not at all BETTING a dead dog.
Complaints that Josephus was
mad brought police who riddled him
with revolver bullets and a charge
from sawed-off shotgun.
Believing the dog dead, the police
left and along came an animal
trainer, Aubry Tedrick. Tedrick
took the dog to a pet hospital where
an operation was performed.
1t was discovered that Josephus
hadn't been mad at all but merely
bit grumpy because of an attack
of Indigestion.
Now he's recovering and is to be
shipped to new master in Detroit,
Mich, who read about his troubles
in Des Moines and wants to give
him a home.

New Fire Classification.

The Fire Underwriters Inspection
Bureau of Minneapolis, has recently
issued new booklet on the fire in
surance rates for the various build
ings in the village of Askov under the
new Class classification. On resi-
dences the new rate makes reduc-
ton of approximately percent. At
the same time as the new rate was
established the Bureau also made a
thorough check of the village and as a
result of this check a number of
places had their rates raised on &C
count of hazards which were not
found there at the last inspection.
If such hazards can be removed,
a lower rate will be granted. To
illustrate the new rate of Class 9 as
compared with the old rate of Class
10 the following specific buildings
are quoted from the rate book: Amer
lean Legion hall, old rate Sis per
thousand, new rate is 1880; Danish
Brotherhood hall, old rate $500 per
thousand, new rate $3.50: " Helm
inge residence, old rate Sc per thou
sand, new rate $50.
Additional information as to the
general makeup of the rate which
applies to your building or contents
can be secured from the Fire Under
writers Inspection Bureau, Box 227,
Minneapolis; and additional informa-
ton on rates that apply to your par
ticular building or contents can be
secured from A. Gravesen or from the
village clerk, George 1. Glen.

The ideal winter weather temporal
ture in this vicinity has had to take
a "back seat" the last few days. The
thermometer has been registering in
the neighborhood of 10 to 20 degrees
below zero. However, there is very
little snow here and all roads are in
excellent shape for automobile travel.
