Dulnth, Minn. — With probably be¬ tween 800 and 000 persons dead, thou¬ snnds homeless and without clothliiK and with property damage mounting Into millions of dollnrs, whole sections of northern Wisconsin and Minnesota timherland are smouldering, flre strick¬ en areas, with charred ruins of aban¬ doned, depopulated towns.
The bodies of 190 victims lie In Du- lutli morgues. Hiiiidreds more along the roads leading to Duliith and Su¬ perior lie where they fell when over¬ taken by the lire.
Twelve thousand homeless and pen¬ niless refugees, all In need more or less of medical attention, nre fiiiarter- ed in hospitals, cliurches, schools, pri¬ vate homes and In the armory here, while doctors nnd nurses sent from surrounding communities attend them, nnd nearly every able bodli'd man In the city has been <onscrlpto<l to flght the tlames.
Reports thnt the holocaust resulted from the work of enemy agents were circulated here. Detlnlte coiillrmnilon was not available, hut Incendiaries were driven away from a local ship¬ yard when the flres In Duluth and Su¬ perior were nt their height, according to F. ,1. l.ongren, tire marshal, and oth¬ er city and slate olllclals.
Keports reaching here by courier told of widespread destruction, but It was evident thnt In most Instances the fury of the flniiies was spent. Duluth and Superior are in no further danger.

Greatest loss of life and property damage nre believed to hnve occurred In the Cloquet region, where a number of towns have been destroyed and all seml-rurnl settlements vlriiuilly wiped out.
The town of Twig, on the Miller trunk road, was wiped out. Other towns reported as being entirely de¬ stroyed Include Ulce Lake, Itrocik.ston, Hrevator. Corona, Adolph, Thompson. .Vrnold, .Moose Lake and Wright.

Collapse of German Center Brings Hope of Invasion.
BIG GASOLINE SAVINQ
MADE BY CAR OW.NERS
Gasoline sales In Pennsylvania slumped heavily during the last week j as motorists throughout the Stale joined the voluntary movement to save 5,000,000 gallons of gas for the army in France. Reports from al¬ most every county in the State in¬ dicate that motoring for pleaauro was going out of fashion
'.Save a gallon a week" has be¬ come the slogan of the campaign. If each of the 350,000 owners in I'ennsylvania save his "gallon a week," in two monihs it will make up more than half of the required five million. Drivers of motor trucks and would-be touri.sts are counted on to save the other half, the former by shutting down their motors while th(; trucks are standing idle and the latter by giving up their intended fall tours. ,
"Results of the first -week are gratifying, but there is plenty of room for improvement," said iTlchard D. Leonard, general manager of domes¬ tic sales of the Atlantic Refining Company. "If Pennsylvania motor¬ ists want to avoid compulsory regul¬ ations by the Fuel Administration and to have the autoless Sunday re- (luest withdrawn, they must show a willingness lo save voluntarily on week days. Five million gallons of gasoline saved is not much over here but it means a lot to the Pennsyl¬ vania boys who are fighting oirr battle over there. If we all do our bit and 'save a gallon a week,' Lt will not be a hardship on anyone."
-Vssurance by the United States Fuel Administration that the gasless Sunday request would be removed if enough gas is saved voluntarily on weekdays is expected to spur auto ow ners to greater restriction.

Laon and La Fere have been captured by the French, who have reached the outskirts of Craonne, the last ot the defenses of the Chemin des Dames. The British have captured Doual prison, a quarter of a inlle from the city, and are heading for Valenci¬ ennes and the strategic railway from Lille to Metz, which feeds the whole German front In  northern   France.
Growing suspicion of a trick In the German note apparently accepting President Wilson's peace terms Is reflected from Waehlngton, London and Paris.
many farmers will not pny for the bet¬ ter grades, f'heap seeds are really the most expensive kind that can bo purchased.
In Iniprovini: his knowledge of what constitutes good seeils, the farmer will find the advice of the state agricultu¬ ral experiment stallons and Ihe United Stntes department of agriculture of great assistance. These institutions gladly fest.samples of see(ts for farm¬ ers fret; of charge. That test will show whether there are any weed seeds or other linpurltl(>s present and the per¬ centage of germination of the crop sec'd. In purchasing seed of alfalfa and clover the most Important point to consider Is the presence of dodder seed. Clover seed should also be ex¬ amined for seeds of the plantains. Introducing Weed Seeds in Stock Feeds.
Some kinds of stock feed nre free of weed seeds, while others aro not. Cottonseed meal, otl meal, brewers' nnd distillers' graln.s, corn bran, mid¬ dlings nnd the gluten feeds uro pruo dcully free of weed seeds; bnt mo¬ lasses feeds, oat cliop, whent bran nnd the mixed feeds are apt to contain more or less seeds of various weeds. This Is especially true of that class of mixed feeds made from mill by-prod¬ ucts, for the reason that such by¬ products are partly composed of scroenings. These screenings contain weed seeds resulting from the clean¬ ing of grain. Some firms grind or heat the screenings that go Into mixed feeds, and in such cases the percen¬ tage of live weed seed Is very low.
Introducing Weed Seeds In Manure.
Nearly all purchased manure Is full of weed seeds. If It Is hauled to the farm when fresh mnny thousands of weed seeds are Introduced, so that the farmer Is storing up future trouble for himself. As this manure usually has to be removed from the town In the fresh state, the only chance to com¬ post It in order to niake the weed seeds rot Is after It reat-hes the farm. It haa bean fotind that the werd at>eds Id inmnore pUew rot quickly under ordi¬ nary conditions, no that practically all of them havo lost their vitality In two months.
