THREE STILL ALARMS.
Firemen Have n Trio of Calls on Snt-
urdny.


The fire department answered three
still alarms Saturday. The first came
In at 1902 o'clock in the morning and
was for fire in a caboose In tho Rut
land railroad yard. When the flremen
arrived the inside of the caboose was
burning briskly. with both doors
locked. Entrance was made and the
fire extinguished before it had dam
aged the car to any great extent.
The blaze started in bunk and burn
ed hole through that and through
the side of the car.
The second call was for the fire on
the Freeman farm in Essex Center and
came at 1925 o'clock. Tho local fire.
men, with the aid of the chemical.
were able to save the house on the
farm, the barns being consumed. The
chief and seven men made the trip to
the fire in record time. A more COM
plete account of this fire appears else
where.
At 1916 o'clock in the afternoon the
third alarm came in while the auto
mobile truck was at Essex This
alarm was for a slight fire caused by
lime at the new construction work
being done for the Crystal Confection-
cry company on College street No
damage was done here other than the
destruction of three barrels of lime.

SAVE YOUR PAPER.
Also Waste Rngs-rhcrc Is Much Nom
ey in Junk" To-day.

Save your waste paper and rags
is the appeal now being made by pa
per manufacturers to the housewives
of the country This calls attention
not only to the shortage of paper in
the United States at present, but points
out an economic waste of aStOnishins,
proportions which goes on annually.
1t is competently estimated that
stroyed every year as is returned for
remanufacture. which means.that $780,
900. 900 worth Of materials each year
goes up in smoke or is otherwise de
stroyed. To-day there is money in
Junk" and the calling of that wan
dering collector Of waste materials, the
junk man. has become somewhat ex-
allied, He is a real CONSERVATION.
Something like $4,000 tons of differ
ent kinds of paper and paperboard are
manufacturer every day in the United
States, and a large proportion of this.
after 1T has served its purpose, could
be used over again in some class of
paper. But a large part Of il is hrrn-
ed or otherwise wasted. The roofing
mills alone used 100000 tons of rags
last year. At present prices this gan
tity of rags would cost s12,50O, 600
more than a year ago.
A well-informed manufacturer of
high grade paper declares, after
thorough study of the situation. that
this country every year produces
enough waste rags and papers. if
saved and collected with anything like
the diligence exercised in European
countries, to keep every existing paper
mill producing steadily and consist
emily not only making al the paper
we need for our own use but also put
ting us in position to furnish large
part of that 'emanCs ~ by other coun-
tries He So. . that never before has
there been such n demand for paper to
go to other countries MS to-day and
that for several years. at least AM
erican paper manufacturers ought to
he In better condition, SO far as bust
ness and profits are concerned, than
they have been for years past.
