MANY BURIED UNDER WALLS
BUILDING FALLS IN HIGH WIND
CAUSING DEATH AND
DESTRUCTION.
Tragedy in St. Lois Due to Collapse
Of Wall Of Burned
Building. -

st. Louis, Mo.-At least two persons
were killed, fifteen buried under de-
bris and ten injured when the west
wall of the Missouri Athletic club
building, which was destroyed by fire,
in which thirty persons lost their lives
a week ago, collapsed under high
wind here, and crashed through a
four-story building occupied by the
st. Louis Seed company.
The wall of the Missouri Athletic
club building, which stood seven sto-
ries high, crumbled when a. 35-mile
wind veered to the northwest. A few
minutes before the collapse, Building
Commissioner McKelvey, who was dl-
recting ITO men in the work of ex-
ploring the ruins of the Missouri Ath-
letic club, feared the wall would fall
and ordered his men out of the de
bris. This action probably prevent
ed a heavy loss of life.
The four-story building occupied by
the st. Louis Seed company had weak
ened, apparently during the burning of
the Missouri Athletic club building,
which adjoined it on the east, and
when the brick wall crashed on the
roof of the four-story building, the
walls of the latter gave way and all
above the second floor crumbled.

TO REDUCE THE
COST OF LIVING
FARM PRODUCTS TO BE CARRIED
DIRECT TO DOOR OF THE
CONSUMER.
TEN CITIES ARE SELECTED
Ry Parcel Post Postmaster General
BureIson Will Cut the Cost OF
Living.

Washington. - Preliminary steps
were taken by the postoffice depart
ment to perfect it's plan for reducing
the cost Of living by having the par
eel post carry farm products direct
to the door of consumer. Ten cities
were selected to begin the work of
establishing direct connection between
producer and consumer, Postmaster
General Burleson having issued an or
der permitting the use of crates and
boxes for butter, eggs, poultry, vegeta-
bles and fruit shipped by parcel post.
Orders went to the postmaster at
Boston, Atlanta, st. Louis, San Fran
cisco, Baltimore, Detroit, Lacrosse,
Wis; Lynn, Mass; Rock Island, ILL.,,
and Washington, directing them ITO
receive the names of persons VINO are
willing to supply farm produce in re-
tail quantities by parcel post" Print
ed lists of these names will be dis
tributed among town and city patrons.
"By the use of the lists,' said First
Assistant Postmaster General Roper,
''the city consumer can get in touch
WIN a farmer WHO Will lii Ills W0OhAy
orders for farm produce. The consum-
er will receive the product fresh from
the country, and the personal relation
ship established no doubt will tend
to improve the quality. The farmer
will be relieved of carrying his pro-
duce to market, as the rural carrier
will make daily collections at the farm
ers own door of the retail shipments
to city consumers.
"The point has been raised that diff
ficulty will be experienced in the re-
turn of hampers and other containers.
This problem does not appear to me
to be difficult, as the farmer may use
inexpensive hampers whose value
would not warrant their return, or he
may use the higher grade hampers
for which he may include an additional
charge to be credited to the consumer
on the return of the hamper by par
eel post"
