Western Newspaper Union New. Service.

Denver-As a measure toward the
conservation of fuel. w. j. Galligan
Federal Fuel Administrator for Colo
RADIO, sent out an appeal to the people
OF the state pointing out that con-
siderable saving can be accomplished
by owners of office buildings by plac-
ing them on war basis, curtailing
the non-essential uses of power and
fuel and practicing the strictest econ
omy consistent with the necessary
service to tenants.
Mr.. Galligan suggests the stopping
of elevator service at an earlier hour.
and fixes the time at $50 p. m. in
cases where it will not interfere with
the work of tenants; the shutting off
at night of interior lights; closing of
windows and shutting off heat and
sustaining a heat of only tempera-
ture of 6S degrees during occupancy OF
buildings.
The appeal closes with the state
ment that: In many cases a great
deal more efficiency can be attained
in the boiler room. Obviously this
important department should be un'
der the supervision of an expert. An
inexperienced, careless fireman can
waste many times his salary. Every
possible waste in heat or power
should be stopped. Fuelsaving de-
vices will in many instances pay for
themselves several times over"
Operation of less cars during the
early morning and late at night. and
general cutting down of schedules
Is also urged upon the street car and
interurban lines.

II. E. TYLER, DISPENSER OF
SOMERSET COAL AND OIL

Just around the corner from the
postoffice" there stands an unpreten-
tious office bearing the name: Som
erset Coal" This office belongs to
r. f. Tyler. and its owner is just as
modest as his present quarters.
Mr. Tyler came here from Buens
Vista eight years ago and purchased
the coal and transfer business from
Burch & Dorsey. at that time located
in the McMurray building halfway
down the next block. Later he moved
to his present quarters and his bust
ness has grown from a comparatively
insignificant affair to one requiring
two office men and from two to forr
teamsters.
Besides his baggage and transfer
he handles many hundreds of tons
of anthracite and bituminous coal.
and as a speculation many tons Of
hay
BY no means the least of his daily
routine is the dispensing of barrel
goods"-not the drinkable kind. even
with a permit, but gasoline and oil
from the Continental Oil company.
He makes deliveries twice a week and
smiles blandly when you covertly ad.
dress him as John D."

Railroad Changes May Affect Denver

Current speculation among railway
men has it that among the changes
which may be expected in Denver
through the liberalization of railways
are the establishment of a centrally
located union ticket office. the con-
solidation OF freight depots. the dis
carding. perhaps. of the present Mof-
Fat depot as separate terminal, the
closer concentration of administrative
departments. the elimination of super
1uous official personnel and the gen
eral curtailment of salaries, rentals
and other overhead expenses.

Increase Shown in Insurance.

In spite of the unprecedented tax
upon the Nation for war bonds. Red
Cross and high cost of living, insur-
ance companies of Colorado report
record breaking business. The general
insurance business in Colorado. ac-
cording to Denver agents. will be ap-
proximately double the amount writ
ten in 1916. This means the people
Of Colorado are paying out about &c.
100000 additional this year for insur-
ance protection, with nearly sS0.000.-
900 written. The number OF farmers
Investing has increased seventy-five

DELTA HAS AT LEAST ONE
FRUIT EXPERT IN GARViN

Delta can boast of at least one fruit
expert. In 1908 there came to Delta
county direct from the California
Fruit Growers Exchange at Chicago,
w. II. Garvin. who had been in con
tinuous employment with this concern
for over Is years as expert buyer and
inspector. He located at Paonia, es-
tablishing an office at that place and
purchasing two fruit ranches. Later
he purchased a fruit farm in the Ce-
daredge district, and today he still
operates these three places, success,
fully from a financial standpoint.
In May, 1912. he moved to Delta,
where he organized the Associated
Fruit company. with Mr. Garvin as
president and Thomas c. Edwards as
secretary and manager. The Associat
ed Fruit company IS one Of the best
fruit concerns in the city. They have
immense warehouses at Delta and one
at Saxton.
The development Of the fruit indus
try in Delta county may be attributed
largely to the efforts Of Mr. Garvin
and his associates. At least this gen
tleman has lost no opportunity to keep
abreast with the times along the fruit
line.

TAKE THOUGHT OF THE SPRING
GARDEN NOW

Take thought Of the spring garden
now.
Notwithstanding the large produc-
ton of vegetables this year and the
great volume put into cans and jars
for winter use, there is nothing to
indicate that there will not be equal
need for production and conservation
in 1918, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture
Many gardens failed this year be-
cause Of poor soil or poor preparation
or both.
This is the time In many sections to
break and to fertilize. Then in the
spring it will be easier to make the
seed bed and the soil will contain
plant food
For the average householder II will
be sufficient to prepare ground
enough to produce the home supply
for eating in the fresh state and for
canning, drying or bringing for use
during the following winter Produc-
ing vegetables for market should not
be undertaken without full knowledge
of horticulture and sufficient capital
