NEW FIRE TRUCK ARRIVES
Equipment Same as Ordway's Is Used
by Government in Aviation City
in Illinois for Fire Fighting.

Ordway's new fire fighting truck
arrived last Saturday and a demon
stration of it's working ability made
that afternoon and the equipment ac-
cepted. Julius Pearce of the Julius
Pearce Fire Equipment company of
Denver. drove the truck down from
Denver to get it limbered up for use
and by the time he reached here the
engine was well loosened and works
in fine condition.
The truck carries chemical tanks,
chemical hose, large fire hose and
other equipment for fire fighting pur-
poses, such as ladders, axes, nozZles
and the like. Six men can be carried
with ease. The truck will have a
place in the Potter garage on Main
street, near the city hall, and will be
kept in perfect trim. One of the
men at the gagage will keep it
cleaned up, oiled and ready for in
stant use by turning the engine and
allowing it to run for few moments
every day regardless of whether or
not il is taken out of the garage.
Fire records show that 80 per cent
of the fires which start are put out
by chemicals, and as this truck car
ries one big chemical tank and
smaller ones it will be of great value
as it can be sent to a fire at auto
travel speed and the chemicals turned
on. The same kind of a truck exactly
is being used by the government at
some of the army cantonments,
where they have cities as large and
some larger than is Ordway. One of
these same equipments is used at the
governments aviation field in Illi-

tells of the National Capital.
This idea is sanctioned by the Food
administration and it is believed that
the other hotc.s, homes and restau-
rants of Washington will soon fall in
with the idea.

cs,abl shment of this day as an en-
couragingly proplc- forerunner of

every day Il saving day for meat
wheat, fats and sugar
State Food Administrator Magnus
Swenson of Wisconsin anticipated the
CAPITAL City in this. He recently is
sued a formal proclamation announc-
ing one meatless and one wheatless
day week for Wisconsin.
Meat ess,' il the Washington plan,
is construed to mean the absence Of
beef. pork, mutton and their products
from the bill of fare whether in homes
q. public eating places. These are
tie meats most needed for export TO
the allies America has large sup
ply of fish and poultry, according to
official estimates.

AMERICAN TROOPS PUT ON CAS-

The HORRORS. OF MODERN warfare

i American Training Camp in France,
Aug. 1.-The issuance OF French gas
masks to the American soldiers has
brought them a little nearer to the
realization of their proximity to real
warfare. The men are looking for
ward to the gas experiments with the
greatest interest, as giving touch OF
adventure to. their training. When
the socalled t.gas house is completed
the men will be put through a mix
ture Of a deadly vapor several times
stronger than will ever be encountered
on the field of battle.
Some German prisoners have claim
ed that in their training they have
endured periods of from five to 10
minutes in a gas mixture so times as
strong as could possib be maintained
in am open air attack. The men are
put through these intepse mixtures to
demonstrate to them that with proper
care and use of their equipment they
cannot be hurt by any gas likely to be
encountered In the front line trenches
It is most important branch OF
the modern training of a soldier that
he should be convinced that there are
many methods of effectively dealing
with the dead1iest terror of latter day
warfare; that the careless, slovenly
and unheeding soldiers are the ones
first to succumb. It is even demon

The soap box romance Of Annie

romantic girl, who came here from
Lynn, Mass, is shattered. Tossing
on her cot at st. Vincent's hos

poison, self-administered, the heart
broken young woman hopes that
death will write 'fnis'' to the close of
her love affair.
Annie is a dreamer. She formerly

in Lynn, Mass, and lived with her
parents at Ill Garden street. that
city. AS she worked at her bench
in the prosaic factory she had WIS.,

would meet under the most unusual
circumstances and marry.
One day she wrote her name and
address on one of the soap wrappers
and prayed that somewhere in Amer

ordained should be hers, would I'm

Communicate with her as she re-
quested. But the irony of fate de-
creed that the action which Annie
thought would bring her lifelong
happiness eliminated in nothing but
misery and may end in death.
A youth of many aliases, employed
at the Bridgeport Tallow Co., under
the name of Nick Krinass known
also ,as Nicholas Burns, was the one
to open the soap wrapper He wrote
her letter couched in endearing
terms, and breathing undying devo-

and stated he "fervently prayed for
the day when can hold you in my
arms He would take good care

Annie wept tears of joy, borrowed
