JEWISH WOMEN TO
 RENDER MUCH A|D

To.
 Aid the government in the matter of food conservation
 Do their bit in knitting for the sail ors and soldiers
 Establish a charity fund for local needs
 Beautify the Jewish cemetery
 Reorganize a Sunday school.
 These are the things the Council of Jewish Women pledged at business meeting held yesterday when in addi- ton to the patriotic service the soci- ety determined also to do it's bit in betterment work along other lines.
 For the past few weeks the Council Was busily engaged in the Liberty loan drlye so that the last session more clearly outlined the policy than any meeting yet held. Mrs Selim I. Nicholson, president of the council, was particularly active during the Lib efty loan campaign, and it was largely through her efforts that the bonds pur- chased to the credit of the organiza- tion amounted to s1,200. The women have now pledged their support in the matter of conservation of food and will devote no small part of their time in knitting needed articles for Uncle Sans men. Mrs. Dwight B. Heard yesterday supplied sufficient amount of yarn for knitting purposes and ten sweaters were begun at once.
 Not all of the energies of the mem- bers will be expended on war work for important home needs should not be overlooked according to council members. In accordance with this idea charity fund will be established. and for this purpose an apron sale and tea will be held on November 23 The af- fair will be given in the gardens of the E. E. Marks home on West Willetta street.
 Steps will be taken shortly to re- organize Sunday school, and q corps of proficient instructors will be in charge. It is also planned to beautify and improve the Jewish cemetery on the Yuma road.
 Yesterdays gathering was held at the home of Mrs. Sol Rosenblad, and at the close of the business session an informal tea hoar ,was enjoyed.

A scare fire in a stove in a room or the second floor of the GrisWoid build ing on East Adams street, opposite the Adams hotel, at o'clock yesterday morning caused the neighborhood to be- come alarmed and call out the fire de- partment from Central station. A snake-liEe coil of smoke was rising from the roof at a point where there apparently vas no chimney, when the firemen arrived.
 With chemicals in hand the firemen rushed to the second story and spotted the fire in the stove, while an old woman was trying to get warm. It was the first time this season the stove had been fired up and it made more than the usual amount of smoke of heating stove, after it's long summer rest.
 Also during the summer the chimney had been blown off, but the hole stiIi reamined to emit the smoke which curled about and frightened the neigh borhood

 daries of what have since been set
 aside as Indian reservations. On ac
 count of this decrease in it's apportion-

 obtained from the government the priv

 The land thus obtained is sold CT. leased to private individuals and the receipts applied to the defrayal of school upkeep expenses. All of the land available for the maintenance of the state university has already been taken | up by the state. Portions of this land which may be taken by the state in exchange for the lnd.an iand of which 1 it was deprived are taken up each month, but an unusually large acreage

 the business transaesed in his office
 has been of this character, of late

I can live over again the happy hours when the kind voice

GREAT FARMERS MEETING
 HERE SATURDAY JUNE 18th

Arrangements have been made thru the County Agricultural Council to se- cure the services of several of the most efficient men of the Agricultural Extension Service of the State, for one day only, June 18th.
 These men will talk to the farmers about things they ought to know and ought to do during this great food cris- is. We may be korking as hard as we can to produce more food, but if our energies are not properly directed our work will avail little. There are some things we need to know and ought to do right away, and if our attention is not called to them at this time we will most surely neglect to do them.
 Several most interesting dcmonstra- tions will be made during the day, and it is of the utwost importance that every farmer who can possibly do so attend this meeting.
 The same method of selecting dele gates as that used for the canning demonstration will be used by the school directors.
 We sincerely hope that all school directors will cooperate in this matter and send in their two men delegates Saturday June 18th.
