DANGER IN WASTE PAPER

Schools and others who are
collecting waste paper to sell for
the benefit of the Red Cross and
for other purposes may do more
harm than good by their efforts
unless they take special precau-
tions to prevent fires.
Waste paper is very danger
GUS fire hazard and it should
never be collected or stored in q
school building nor in the con-
gested downtown district in any
kind of building. If it is to be
stored at all a building should
be secured that is located in
some isolated position and spe-
cial precautions should be taken
to prevent fire.
The collection of waste paper
in school houses is especially
dangerous. Piles of waste paper
are readily ignited by the
slightest spark or by the pres
ence of heat without flame or
spark. Paper makes an extreme
ly hot fire and burns very
rapidly. D.,
A waste paper fire in a school
house would be almost certain to
cause a serious panic and might
very easily cost the lives of many
of the children through injury
from a stampede or by actual
burning.

Pinto Beans for Planting

The Bean Division of the U. S.
Food Administration has stored
several car loads of excellent
dry land Pinto Bean seed which
is available to those desiring it,
at &c per pound. This seed is
stored at Denver, Greeley, and
Trinidad, Colo, and at Clayton,
Las Vegas, and Willard, N. M.
Seed has been especially Sc
lected from about 400 cars Of
commercial beans, and is as
good as can be had without hand
picking. 1t has all been re-
cleaned and is in new bags, 100
pounds to the bag.
Growers can buy this seed in
100 pounds lots or multiples of
100. No bags will be broken.
Cost will be SO per 100, F. OBJ.
shipping point. If seed is to be
shipped considerable distance
and grower desires double sack
ing, he should remit SOC extra
for every. 100 pounds ordered.
All orders must be accom-
panied with draft or money or
der in favor of the U. S. Food
Administration Grain Corpora
ton. If postoffice is not ship
ping point, the name of shipping
+ point should be given.
AS far as possible, growers
should combine their orders,
sending in for several farmers in
one order. In those counties
where county agricultural
agent is employed, he should
combine several orders and send
for all in one shipment.
All orders for seed that
should naturally be shipped from
Colorado storage or from Clay
ton, N. NJ, should be sent to the
Bean Division, U. S. Food Ad-
J ministration, Denver, Colo, and
orders that should be filled from
storage at Las Vegas or Willard,
N. NJ, should be sent to the
Bean Division of the U. S. Food
Administration at Albuquerque,
N. nj.
Orders should be placed at
B, once, as it will soon be planting
time and freight deliveries are
rather uncertain.
Yours very truly,
u. S. FOOD ADMIN,

In Memory of Little LeOna

While il sec ms that all that could
be has been said to the loving re
membrance of Leona, who has been
taken from US in the early bloom of
life, must say as one who loved her
"Our loss is her eternal gain.
NJ child in this neighDorhood
coulMhave been more missed than
is Leona, she wllh her ability Of
leader ship amoung her schoolmates
and all who knew her, won the love
and respect of them all with her
sunny, affectionate disposition.
In the seventh grade at the age
of twelve years she was always at
the head of her class, was such a
patient, motherly companion to ner
younger sister and brother, an un.
firing little helper of her mother,
and with the gentle touch of her
youthful fingers on the piano keys,
and in doing other things that she
knew to be of great pleasure to her
father, she was the full illment of all
he could wish her to be.
She was secratary and treasure
of the Junior Red Cross Society of
this nelghborhood and was most
enthusiastic worker.
While attending a meeting at the
Richardson home on Wednesday of
last week she was stricken with ap~
pendicitis of which she did not re-
cover.
Her hours of suffering were born
so patiently, never complaining,
and as her anxious parents stood
ready to grant her every wish her
thoughts were never of herself but
that they should not worry that she
would be all right.
Every thing that loved ones,
skilled nurses and doctors could do
was done for her, but He who is
ever wise saw fit to take her snow
white spirit of innocence home to
himself. We miss her, yes, we miss
her but Leona is free from the shad-
ows that we meet on the journey of
life.
The form we loved was lain to
rest in the Graceland Cemetry on
May Day ct a o'clock P. M.
Her place is vacant in our home,
Her voice we loved is still
And while we would not call her
back
Her place will mere be filled.
