HOW We CAN SAVE IN
OFFICE STATIONERY
Suggestions Which viii Assist
Government to Secure
srs,s Its Supply.

Chairman Baruch of the war indus
tries board recently made public the
following suggestions to business Of
fees for saving office stationery. and
stated that the general adoption OF
these suggestions would result In the
saving of large tonnage Of high-grade
paper and aid the government In Sc
curing It's requirements Of paper and
chemical pulp needed for war pur-
poses: .,s.~ - .. as.
I.sWrite single space. except be-
tween paragraphs.
2, Write on both sides In case of
long letters.
3. Use half or two-third sheets for
short letters. II necessary eliminate
excessive advertising, long lists Of off,
GERS and directors, etc.. from letter
heads, especially where changes are
likely to occur.
4. Use 16 Id. paper and the smallest
sized envelopes required by the inclos-
ures.
s. Use the backs of letters that are
being answered as carbons.
@. Use postcards for acknowledge
ments.
Z. Watch your waste baskets and
use the spoiled sheets and backs OF
envelopes for scratch pads.
These suggestions are along the lines
of those recently adopted by govern
ment Offices in Washington.
Various other suggestions for econ
omy in the use Of Office stationery have
been received. Some Offices are fol-
lowing the practice Of writing replies
on the letters received and sending
them back. This can be done where It
is not necessary to keep copies. Some
times a stamp Is used on letters so re-
turned, swordeds as follows; 1--WE are
using this method Of reply inpfesponse
to the governments appeal to save
paper."@asw -T
slA good suggestion for saving strong
manila envelopes Is to have some
labels printed which can be pasted on
the face Of the envelopes, covering the
old address so that the envelope can
be used again. BY this means a strong
manila envelope can be used several
times. and an envelope saved IL an
envelope made.
One business Office reports that 1t
has gone over its discarded letter files
and has saved out all good full and
half sheets which have the backs
blank. These sheets are being used as
carbons for recent correspondence. BY
this means this particular office has
reclaimed two years supply Of car
bon Sheets. =.
For interdepartmental communion
tions many business offices are using
manila envelopes. each envelope being
used at least fifteen times by crossing
out each name when delivered and
writing the next one below it. The
names are written crosswise the enve-
'9pe.

SPEED is GAINED
FOR SHIPMENTS
THROUGH U. 5.
TT WILL RELEASE GOODS
DELAYED BY OLD RULE
Sugar and Corn Can Be Sent in
Bond Without Waiting for
License for Each Lot.

Under a new rule just issued
by the War Trade board the
movement of products from one
point in Mexico to another point
in that coutry, through the
United States, will be greatly
facilitated.
Heretofore shippers whe de-
sired to transport sugar or corn
from Sonora to Chihuahua by
way of the United States were
forced to secure special import
license for each shipment, and
that took from Is to 18 days.
/ Under the new ruling all COM
modities not on the import con-
servation list will be admitted to
the United States on a general
license issued by the War Trade
board. This applies particularly
/ to commodities in bond that are
not on the conserved import list.
Shippers in Nogales and Sinaloa
will welcome this order from the
War Trade board, as it relieves
them of the necessity of apply
ing to Washington for am import
license.
Importers of sugar and corn
who now have cars loaded in
Sonora and Sinaloa will be able
to cross their products when,
shipped in bond from Mexico to
Mexico ON an import declara-
ton, without waiting for an i'm
port license for each shipment.

ANTI-GERMAN LITERATURE
Pamphlets to Overcome Hun

Are Being Circulated.

MI. J. Leloudis has handed
The Oasis some of the literature
that the Allied Propaganda in
Mexico is putting out to counter
act the Hun propaganda in Mex
leo. There are several hand
somely printed and artistically
illustrated pamphlets descriptive
of Hum hellishness, and state
ments of the causes leading up
t othe war, with the devilishness
of the Hun brought out in bold
relief.
