Moose Lake Fire.

1HS SIcdlcSI LII III IIlc u
Minnesota swept the northeastern
part of the state the past few days.
Beginning Saturday, October IL, near
Duluth, and famed by 60-mile gale,
the fire spread rapidly to lay in ruins
about dozen villages, chief among
which were Cloquet and Moose Lake.
Cloquet, city of 5000 inhabitants,
was burned to the ground but only
a few lives were lost as the populace
was moved to Duluth on four special
trains, box cars, coal cars, flat cars
and anything available being used.
At Moose Lake, however, the people
could not escape and the result was
that 500 lives were lost in and about
the village. The total number of dead
in the entire fire area is expected to
reach about 1000.
One life was lost in Pine county,
Mrs. Ray Fairchild of Bruno, and
property damage here will run into
several hundred thousand dollars.
The center of Pine county-a line
from Askov to Cloverton-is the
boundary of the great fire and south
of this line there is no damage done.
Those burned out completely in the
vicinity of Askov are Julius Slot,
Andrew ]. Larson, Mrs. Mary Swan
son, H. R. Buck and NielS Gade
Those in the Bruno-Kerrick area who
suffered fire losses were Peter Sny-
der, Domning, Mccoy, VIM. Schrae-
der, Frank Pavolka, G.. Gage, Clough,
Ray Fairchild, Jap Hill, Churchill
John Lohner, Earl Howey, Krohn,
Fred Rupp, John Nelson, VIM. Loper,
Chas. G.. Lindstrom and others. In the
vicinity of Duxbury the Wheeler
Bros. and Ables have burned out
completely.
At meeting held in the H. c.
Andersen school at Askov Tuesday
evening, October Is, by the Partridge
town board, the village council, the
local members of the safety commits
sion, the local health officer and the
school board, it was decided, due to
the epidemic of Spanish influenza
raging in Minnesota, to close for a
period of two weeks all public meet
ings and gatherings, church services
and the school in ASkov.

retailers throughout the country,

The greatest scarcity will be in

Increased all-year-round demand
is ascribed to higher incomes; a
rise in the birthrate during the

the greater reliance, of busy war

children.

PRICE PRIMER
Higher accountancy is needed if
you are a conscientious housewife
who has signed a Home From t
Pledge to pay no more than cell
ing prices.
AS price regulations multiply,
and more foods go on rationing,
it would be helpful to have sim
pie booklet giving points and cell
ing prices. 1t also becomes more
difficult to work out a plan for
such booklet, because there are
different ceilings in different parts
of the country, and in various type
81 stores. Therefore, as much as
you need it, you may not see a
price handbook for some time.
VANISHING ACT
Some fripperies, such as fabric
gloves and scarfs that have es-
capped war curtailment, may soon
disappear in order to keep up pro
duction of essential items. WPB is
