WHY NOT SAVE
 THE WASTE PAPER?

Williams has just had her bundle day and a splendid idea it was too. Another idea is now suggested. Why not save all the waste paper of Williams and sell it? Sounds rather foolish doesn't it? As if the old paper we burn daily is worth anything. But listen to this, a clipping from a recent paper:
 Decature, H., January13-
 Decature school children col lected a total of nearly fifty three tons of paper in a weeks contest under the auspices of the Junior Sanitation League, which ended today. The paper was sold for $1O14.56, and the money was divided among the schools.
 The paper could be collected once or twice weekly and stor- ed until sufficient is gathered for shipment. It could be done continuously, for the price of old paper ranges from $10 to $22, and there is no prospect of it's lowering. Old magazines, newspapers, catalogues, card board, any kind of waste paper can be utilized, and the munic- ipality of Williams will have money to spend upon it's most urgent need. We're not pre- pared to say what that is. Per haps it's a civic center fund, perhaps it's the enlargement of the library.
 This is a suggestion. Think it over!
 The suggestion presented above was sent to the News by one of our many Grand Can yon readers. The suggestion is a good one and, if not applica- ble to Williams, it ought to be. There is frightful waste in the general destruction of paper. It should be possible to convert the enormous waste into paper again.

A Story
 of the
 Western Frontier
fife Quarterbreed By ROBERT AMES BENNETT

rear corner of the warehouse. When he had seen them ride off across Sioux creek towards the highest of the noun tains that encircled the valley, he went back into the office, opened the safe, and carefully sorted over it's con- tents. All letters addressed to the late agent and to himself he took out and locked in his desk.
 Meantime Hardy and Redbear with the police sergeant passed through the camp of the families of the police, where they added two old bucks to their party. A pony trail led up through the pines on the mountainside to the bare granite crag of the summit. Mid afternoon found the Indians standing around a greenwood fire, alternately covering it with a blanket and permit ting puffs of the dense smoke to rise in the still air.
 In less than half an hour Hardy's glasses showed him an answering smoke on a peak fifteen or twenty miles distant. When he called attention to it, the police sergeant pointed out still another smoke signal off to the
 
 ther away. The old bucks turned from the fire and started down to where the mare and ponies had been left.
 ''The chiefs will come tomorrow, Redbear interpreted their answer to Hardy's inquiry.
 The jaded blackboard ponies were tugging their load up the slope of the terrace when Hardy came down the line of agency buildings at a gallon. Marie Dupont was driving; but on the seat beside her was a brown-eyed, olive-skinned girl, who averted her handsome face with childish shyness as Hardy wheeled his mare and refined up alongside.
 Marie flushed under the officers di- rect gaze, though, unlike her compan- ion, she did not seek to avoid it. He raised his hat with punctilious polite ness. She bowed, and, gazing back at him with a level glance, quietly re.

ADMIRAL DEWEY, HERO
 OF MANILA BAY. DEAD

Admiral George Dewey, the hero of Manila Bay, died Tues day after a brief illness. Only few weeks ago he was report ed to be in robust health, but a cold soon sapped his energy and brot about a breakdown from which he had not the power to rally.
 Admiral Dewey was one of the most illustrious command CTS of the American navy. He was educated at Annapolis and had a distinguished part in the civil war, serving under Admir- al Farragut. At the breaking out of the Spanish-American war he had the rank of como dore and was in command of the Pacific squadron. He de- feated the Spanish squadron in Manila Bay, thereby wrestling Phillipine Islands from Spain. The rank of Admiral of the navy was conferred upon him by special act of congress-.
 During the later years of Ad- miral Dewey's life he was the honored president of the gen. era1 board of the navy. As a token of respect to his memory the national flag was displayed at half mast upon all public buildings, forts and military posts and naval stations and ex- ecutive offices in the city of Washington were closed. Born in 1888, he was 79 years old at the time of death.

CHAPTER w.

The First Card.
 As Hardy was unpacking his scant wardrobe, an Indian boy came to the door, thrust in his head and announced gutturally:
 "Mree him say you come six"
 Hardy nodded to the boy and signed him to go. Ten minutes later he stepped up on the porch of the Dupont house. Before he could knock, Du- pont stepped from the rear door of his trade store, which faced away from the porch.
 Hello, Cap!" he greeted the guest with bluff cordiality. "Glad to see you. Walk right in.'
 Hardy crossed the threshold and paused. The floor was covered to re- semble waxed hardwood. The oriental rugs were real. The walls were pa- pered with quiet tapestry pattern. The adobe fireplace was set with modern grate and faced with a tile mantel. The few pictures were well chosen. There was no sign of the guns, skins and Navajo blankets that Hardy had expected to see
 Vandervyn, lolling in an easy chair beside the small, well-filled bookcase, looked up and smiled in boyish enjoy- ment of the new agents surprise.
 Dupont grunted apologetically: Don't think I'm plumb crazy It's all Marie Said she couldn't live here unless she had things just like in Ot- tawa. Cried till I had to give in.''
 Don't you let him con you, captain" chuckled Vandervyn. Tt was Jake who wept because Marie sent off the mail order and he had to foot the bills''
 "Well, anyway, there wasn't nobody she could hire to do the work, and I had to go out on roundup" Dupont sought to cover his discontinue. "She set to and done 1t all her own self. I ddin't have to pay cent for that Sit down, Cap. Make yourself to home. Hey, Marie! you there? Here's Cap Hardy. Bring in that bottle me and. MT. Van was sampling, will you?"
 Hardy picked the stiffest chair in the room, sat down-and promptly rose to a position of polite attention. A young lady had appeared in the doorway at

 "That was very kind of you," said Hardy as he glanced at the other girl
 Marie smiled in instant appreciation of the fact that he had spoken to her as to an equal. She patted her com. panion's work-reddened hand with her gloved fingers. "This is Charlie Red- bears sister Oinna. They did not treat her well at school, so she ran away to come home. I want her to live with me; but she says she must be with her brother. You will not send her back?"
 The young girl looked at the new agent with a smile of timid appeal, and

The picnickers had a very enjoyable time and the dinner was appreciated very much.

as quickly dropped her head in bashful embarrassment. Hardy's gaze soft ened, and he answered reassuringly:
 'Redbear spoke of his sister. It will be all right"
 ''You are most kind to Say it," ap- proved Marie with the condescension of gracious young queen. Captain Hardy, we shall expect you to dine with us this evennig. shall send over your luggage in a few minutes. You need not dress for dinner.'

Tourists who visit the Grand Canyon now see only a vast cavern of clouds. Through the the rim at your feet and then mist you can see the outline of you see mist, more mist, and heavier mist. The snow is about three feet deep and still showing.
 One day last week, the school children were taken over to the rim at recess to see the clouds down in the Canyon. Up thru the rolling banks of clouds, stood the tips of peaks, and it looked for all the world like an ocean with a scattering of islands. "Gee!" said one of the little boys, "They ought to be a lighthouse over there on that island !" But the ocean of clouds is gone and we have nothing but a rimless bowl of mist.

MEETING OF THE HOME
 ECONOMICS DEPT.

The inclemency of the wealth CT threatened to prevent the meeting of the Home Econom- ics Department, Tuesday, Jan. 16, but with the determination of success a way was found. A bobsled gathered up twelve of the members and a very en- thusiastic session was held at the Parish House.
 The Chairman, Mrs. E. A. Miller, called the meeting to order. The subject, "A Well Prepared Meal," was ably pre- sented by Mrs. Chas. Elliott. She gave each member a class flied list of foods. Suitable menus for the baby, growing children and adults were dis cussed.
 A housewife must give thot to her meals in order to give her family the right proportion of protein, carbohydrates, fat, mineral and bulky food to pre- serve health.
 At the close of the meeting Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Elliott served coffee and cake which proved a very fitting conclusion of the session.
