NUT SHELLS
Us.
GAS SHELLS

The lives of hundreds of soldiers in
the Allied Armies will depend on Nut
Shells this winter.
With the passing Of the fruit season
the carbon-producing fruit pits which
the whole country has been saving for

longer be had.
From NOW ON. therefore. don't
throw away a single Brazil nut, wal
nut, hickory nut, butternut. or cocoa
nut she'll Olive, date and prune seeds
are still available. Save them.
The shells collected by the Red
Cross in the Western states are sent
to the Gas Defense Division of the
Army. Potrero Station. San Francisco.
There expert chemists heat the
shells in retorts under terrific temper
ature till the shells are reduced to
pure carbon OF unusually high absorb
ent qualities.
Mustard gas" all the lachrymators,
and the yellow and green Cough
gases" are all neutrallzed by this car

MORE Wheat IN BIN
LESS ON THE GROUND

That any wheat-grower can save
enough wheat to pay for a new team
OF horses a year simply by putting tin
strips over the knotholes in the floor
of his wheat barge" and by fastening
canvas strip three inches wide all
around the sides Of the barge next 70
the floor. is the belief of L. H. Rust,
prominent insurance man and ranchsf
of Weld county. who has himself tried
out the wheat-saving scheme.
As the header moves along the
wheat field and the grain IL thrown
into the barge. considerable Of the
grain heads sift through tho loose lat.
tice-work of the barges' sides and sift
out also through knot holes IN the
floor of the barge. Mr.. Rust declares,
the '1eaky" barge commonly leaving
trail Of wheat behind II - II moves
along.
The canvas strip fastsnsd firmly 10
the floor Of the barge and extsnliAS
from three to six inches up the sideS

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS

Each and every weekly
newspaper in the United States
has received definite orders
from the War Industries Board
as follows:
"No publisher may continue
subscriptions after three
months after date of expiration
unless subscriptions are renew
ed and paid for"
This order places all news
papers in the position that they
absolutely must collect their
subscription list up to date.
Therefore. we are going to
ask our subscribers to help us
out in this emergency by re-
mitting to us their subscription
within the next few days. The
scarcity of help, which has hit
the newspaper as hard as any
other business, makes 1t
physical impossibility to see
you personally and collect this
money. Will you not help in
this emergency?
