RED CROSS SALE
 BRINGS IN CASH

MESA May 13.-The Red Cross auc- ton sale of Saturday afternoon brought in $l44.70 and furnished amusement for Inc crowd gathered to listen to the per suasiye eloquence of W. NJ. Newel the veteran auctioneer who donated his services to the occasion. There were ponies. cows, calves, pigs. chickens, potatoes, etc, crates of strawberries donated by the Japanese gardeners of this vicinity. all of whom are members of the Red Cross, and sundry other ar ticles many of which brought well above the market price. Buyers were liberal in their bidding, seeming to have in mind the purpose of the sale rather than any profit to themselves.
 The one gift that was undersold was a fine heifer, fresh in milk for which r. A. Sanborn had refused S60. and had brought into the sale thinking she would bring moro. The animal brought $40, it so happening that those present were not in the market for milch stock.
 Dan Hilbert, Red Cross booster, be- came the owner of two pigs, much given to voice, and falling to the lot of their new owner after bringing a fat price. They were loaded into a s2,000 auto and enjoyed their ride to the Hib- bert home.
 Frank Gurley and Henry Davis both local market men, seemed to think the chicken. duck and calf supply was short in the valley for they bid up briskly, Gurley having somewhat bet ter of the amount purchased when the sale closed.
 One pony was put up. and the bid- ding bid not go to suit W. R. Stewart, local land man, so he bid SIP and was surprised later 10 find himself with a iiorse on his hands for which he has no mortal use. Stewart scorns the lowly equine species. He rides in a Ford
 The historic Burro, properly spelled with a capital, for did he not once upon a time sell at a Red Cross benefit for over $100, came into view riding in Stewards car, and Auctioneer Newell immediately bounced upon the oppor- tunity to fleece the crowd. Five citi- zens finally became the joint and sev- eral owners of the burro at a cost of s25. The trouble began when each of

RENDERING WASTE
 IS ECONOMY OF WAR
lKansas Citv Starl


 The war economy campaign which has been inaugurated in England ac- cording to press correspondents, is some new and very surpris- ing results.
 A Manchester chemist, for example. has learned how to extract from the towns sewage a wonderful stimulanr for plant life which promotes growth and fruitage several hundred per cent higher than any previously known manure.
 The city council of Bradford. the Yorkshire town which is the head 7 quarters of the British woolen trade. has invented a new way of using up the grease collected from the sewage of the towns woolen mills, by which over s400,000 profit has been made, whilst more than s25.000 has also been re- ceived from the collection by new processes in the treatment of sewage.
 Many other English towns are try ing to gather up and use hitherto waste stuff. Wonderful effects are being obtained therefroni. It is more than probable that the war will have proved a veritable godsend to a large number of places, fro nnthe financial point of view, in ways such as never could have been anticipated three years back.
 By carefully collecting old bottles. thrown away tins, and such like stuff. the Yorkshire town of Keighley has managed to raise over 5000 yearly from this source since the war began.
 Twickenham has a plan of gathering old newspapers and waste paper from the houses in town. Boys are sent to cover all the town in we'll mapped dis tricts, from which the whole is later on gathered and disposed of for goedly sums of money that are proving of great advantage to certain institutions in which Twickenham folk are inter ested
 Not only is money thus earned. but the. process inculcates into children many practical lessons in thrift, work and kindly help that cannot but prove very advantageous in their future ca reers and labors.
