saw that the fire as yet was confined to
the attic and went back after their books
and wraps.
Meantime the alarm was struck on the
bell at the city hall and quick response
was made. But the building was DOOM
ed from the beginning as the whole attic
was apparently on fire as we'll as some of
the partitions when the first alarm was
given. For a time the flames were
smouldering under the roof but when
once broken out to the air the destruc-
tion was very rapid and in about an
hours time part of the walls only were
left standing and these all went over in
short time after except a part of the.
corner to the northwest.
The fire being above there was time to
take out about all the furniture and
other paraphernalia from the lower
rooms, and considerable loose stuff from
the upper floor, though smoke soon drove
the workers out from there.
The most of the library, the electric
clock, victrola, athletic trophies, piano,
tables, seating of lower rooms, etc, were
saved. Some damaged by rough hand
ling, but usable with repairs.
The wireless apparatus stored in che
attic was lost and about everything in
the chemical department..
The fire department responded prompt
ly. but the fire was too hlgh in the at
tic for the chemical to work and the
stream of water from one line of hose
cut no figure in extinguish1ng so large
fire. The efforts of the boys to save the
large woodshed only few feet from the
main building were successful. The
building being of brick veneer construc-
tion with wooden floors and partitions
was very iDfammable.
The origin of the fire is somew hat in
definite. SCOT in the pipes leading from
the furnace to the Chimney became igni.
ted as in case of a burning out of q
chimney" and the heat probably ignited
the adjacent woodwork and from there
was carried by the draft to the attic,
which as esid was all on fire when dis
covered.
+ The building which cost about thirty
thousand dollars was insured for SIC, 600,
which will help some in building a new
building.
The main building was built in 1881
which would make it one of earliest
large school buildings erected in this
state. About ten years ago a large
addition was made. and altogether wass
a cerditable building for school purpos.
es for town of this size.
Its predecessor on the same site was
q frame building Of wood, which was
built in 1875 and was therefore the first
public school building in what is now.

BULLETINS OF INTEREST

The entire wheat supply of COlora-

rnent at the nearest mill OF grain ele-
vstor before May I. according to an
order issued BY Herbert Hoover of the
U. S. Food Administration and ap-
proved by the Southwestern Food zone
Of which Colorado is 4 part, at the
meeting held in Kansas City April I.
All wheat turned over to the gov
eminent voluntarily by the owners
will be paid for At government peieo.
II it is necessary for the food admin
istration to seize the grain. the haul
ing charges to the mill will be deduct
ed from the price paid for the wheat.
Drastic action of this sort was
deemed necessary by Hoover because
Of the imminent danger of wheat fam
inc before the next crop can be har-
vested.
Orders have also been issued for
all persons who have more than =
thirty day supply Of flour on hand to
report to the u. S. Food Administra-

FARMERS ARE SHOWING
A REAL PATRIOTISM

The farmers did heroic service in
1917. In the face Of many difficult
ties they planted the largest acreage
in history, harvested record crops of
most things, except wheat, and sue
ceeded greatly in increasing the num-
her of live stock. This record of the
farmers is ground for confidence that
with equal application and orsaniza-
tion they can overcome the difficult
ties and enlarge their productive ac-
tivities so that the United States may
do its full share toward supplying
food for the world.
American farmers have shown true
patriotism in many ways during this
great war crisis. They have given
their sons to the military service of
their government. They are support
ing all of the war activities. including
the buying of Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Stamps. Yet the greatest de-
mand that is laid on the farmer. and
that which calls for herosm is that
they are to make their acres produce
the largest possible output of food
