A CAMPAIGN AGAINST SMOKE.
City Building Inspector Tells How TO
Abate Nuisance and Save Coal.

Frank NJ. Ladd, chief building in
spector. has begun n campaign to
avoid smoke as n means of conserving
fuel. Speaking of his campaign, he
said:
Every fireman who saves few
pounds of coal daily by careful work
is n contributor to the advance forces
of liberty. He helps save labor and
releases transportation for other
work and leaves more fuel for over
seas service.
"The smoke division of my depart
ment has printed instructions for fir
ing. which can be obtained free in my
office in city hall. that will aid in this
work. We will be glad to look over
any plant and assist any man to '.al {
some inexpensive changes that will
help in the saving of coal
at may be that there are too E ny
air leaks in the furnace. which is 4
great waster of coal. This service is
free and, as it saves money. l trust
that every owner of furnace will
take advantage of this offer. My ad-
vice to owners is to take an interest
in their engine room"

USE OUR OWN EATS
AVOID CROSS-HAULING URGED
BY DEFENSE COUNCIL.
Colorado Foodstuffs and Fruits Are
Superior Anyway. and All Buyers
Should Insist on Getting Them.

To eliminate cross-hauling as n re-
lief for the railroad situation, the Col
orado Council of Defense is going to
use all the means. at its command in n
movement which should also prove an
impetus to home industries.
"Give the preference to Colorado
food products. Colorado should con-
sumo all its own foods that il needs
and not import similar products from
other states, shipping some of its food
out and then shipping other food in.
There's no need of it, and it's a tre-
mendous drain on the railroads" says
II. U. Nudge. chairman of the trans
portation committee of the council.
That is cross-hauling. Chairman
Nudge investigated and found that ap-
pies from Oregon and Washington
are being sold in the stores of Denver
when Colorado apples should be sold.
Colorado's production of apples is far
greater than its consumption. Colo
radios citizens should eat Colorado ap-
Piles, and the railroads should not have
to use freight cars to import apples
from Oregon and Washington into the
state. It's the same situation with
Colorado pinto beans. Most restau-
rants and hotels sell the navy beans
that are imported. The pinto bean, il
has been proved scientifically and by
use, equals in food value the white or
navy bean. The only difference is in
the color.
So it is with many other staple food
products. And the transportation
committee, under instructions of the
council is going to prepare all the
data it can on such products as are
cross-hauled for presentation to the
national food administration. 1t is
going to ask the food administration
to exert its power to prevent cross.
hauling so far as Colorado products
are concerned.
To help the council, to relieve tn,
transportation situation, and to pro
mote home industry, Colorado citizen.
| should demand Colorado foods first
4 1t is patriotic action.
| Cross-hauling is prevalent thruou
the nation, and Colorado is the firs'
state to begin to eliminate it.

Those present were so delighted
with the affair that the Ex-Delegates

these informal balls a regular feature

ADVISERS ON FARMING

The Wisconsin plan of having sal

sion. Avisers help farmers rotate
crops, improve marketing methods
and in the end produce more food
stuffs. Joseph E. Davies of COM

ahead with some form of the plan. It
would cost between $1,OOO,OOO and

in many millions more Of increased
production, urges Loeb.
