LITTLE SAVED IN BLAZE WHICH DESTROYED HOTEL COTTAGES, HOWEVER, ARE SAVED FROM DESTRUCTION. 'lrUuranc* Carried Not Sufficient to Cover Lota of the Building. Little of the furnishings or contents of the Vawter Park hotel, which was destroyed by fire about ten days ago, were saved. Insurance amounting to 818,00(1 or more was carried on the building and its contents by Mr. Boyts but this amount will by no means cover the loss, estimated at between 840,000 and 850,000. Some of the furniture on the first floor of the building was carried out before the fire made entrance to the building impossible and most of the guests succeeded in rescuing their belongings. There were only about fifteen or twenty guests in the hotel at the time of the fire. The blaze was discovered shorly c after noon, while the hotel guests were at luncheon. The fire was first seen by the chef's wife, and it was believed that it could be extinguished, but after a few minutes it was realized that any efforts they could make would be futile. Only several chimneys of the fifty-room structure remain standing. Some of the cottages near the hotel caught fire sevral times while the big building was burning, but fire fighters each time succeeded in extinguishing the flames, and no buildings other than the hotel were destroyed. An enormous stock of provisions stored in the hotel for use this summer was destroyed, and included in this was 1,000 pounds of sugar. The new twenty-room addition to the summer resort hotel, which was built by Mr. Boyts this spring, had just been formally opened the day before the fire. It will be remembered that the Wawasee Inn was destroyed by fire the very day after Mr. Boyts and Dr. Dobson had acquired title to the property. '

Straight talk on Cream Separators by JOS. H. GROSH Nappanee, Ind. NO MATTER what anyone may claim, there is only one speed at which a cream separator should be turned in order to get all the cream and cream of uniform thickness. That’s the speed plainly indicated on the crank of every separator, of whatever make. Full speed is the only assurance of full capacity and full efficiency.' Every De Laval now has a Bell Speed-Indicator. The bell warns the operator if the separator is turned too slowly. There can be no mistake about it.
