There was an important meeting of Minnesota citizens held at St. Paul the other day. The gathering was in response to a proclamation and invitation issued by Governor Eber- hart designating Fire Prevention Day and inviting representatives to be present from every community in the state. The response to these invi- tations was far greater than the pro- moters had ventured to anticipate. Prominent men from every section of Minnesota were present, a fact which shows there ia a wide interest in the subject of employing better means and methods of reducing. the total of life and property destruction by fire. It has already been de monstrated that the percentage of loss by fire can be reduced enormous- ly by the observance of proper pre- cautionary methods by all citizens. The work thet has been done under the direction of the present tate fire marshal during the past year has already resulted in much good, and if continued, the department will be able to make a showing in a very Get Them At POWERS_ —<————_ > Rubber Tires For Buggies Put On and Adjusted —_ Bi few years that will be a revelation to the citizens of Minnesota as to 4 V what may be accomplished through Cc h ris t ann general and uniform effort. BLACKSMITH From a circular issued by the state fire marshal giving a brief account of the work done at the St. Paul gathering, the following facts are | gleaned: ‘ Taking the experience of 1910 as a basis, if the structures destroyed were placed close together they ; would reach from Chicago to New York; every one thousand feet there | would be an injured and maimed per- |son, while every three-quarters of a ‘nile would be a victim whose life had been sacrificed to the red plague. i| of your Fall. suit | Coleraine, Minnesota Tires put on while you) wait.

Wentworth of Boston, Secretary of the National Fire Pre- vention Association delivered a splen- did address on the subject of “How Fire Prevention Can Be Carried On Most Successfully.” In the course of his remarks, by way of illustration, the gentleman compared Berlin, Germany, with Chicago, for the year of 1910. Both cities are approximate- ly of the same size. In the German city the fire loss for 1910 was $175- 000, while in Chicago, the total reached $6,000,000. It cost the city of Berlin $300,000 for the maintenance of their fire department while the American city paid $3,000,000 for the same service. The aboye illustrations are extreme cases but the fire loss in Ameri- ca is much heavier per capita than in the European countries. The an- nual waste in Minnesota in former years has been in excess of many of the other states. YOUNG FOLKS ENJOY HOLLOW’EEN PARTY Miss ‘Clarabell and Alton Russell were hosts of a Hallowe’em party at their home on the evening of October 31. The event was a very enjoyable one and the Herald-Review should have reported it last week. The guests were costumed in comic ar- ray, representing ghosts, witches, skeletons and various domestic ani- mals, rabbits, ete. As the guests entered the spacious parlors of the Russell home they were greeted by ghosts and witches, who were seated here and there on pillows scattered about the rooms, and directed in uncanny fashion to lay aside their wraps and be at ease. The guests being costumed to disguise their identity it became the duty of the hosts to call each one by his or her name before the masks were removed. This task consumed 10 little time, perplexity and amusement, The feature of the evening was the playing’ of many games. Refresh- ments were served, which included, sOdas, ete., cakes and candies. At the conclusion of the festivities each guest was presented with a diminu- tive pumpkin with the usual grimace and lighted candle, which they were admonished to preserve as a fitting momento of the occasion.

Noth- ing is required of the purchaser un- der the present law other than that he pay the stipulated price, and the fancy of prospective buyers in con- sequence seems to run to pleasure spots.
