exhaustion, lay down and fell asleep.

of the tiniest human creatures. They

Being ultimately satisfied Of the harm

my word of honor to do them no In

six professors Of education to teach
me their language. For my bodily
sustenance they allowed me a guam
tity of meat and drink sufficient for
1924 of their own people; for so, be-
ing exact in their mathematics, they
estimated the proportions of my bulk
to theirs. Three hundred cooks and
one hundred and twenty walters were
named to dress my meals, two hundred
seamstresses were appOrtioned to
make my linen, and three hundred
failors for my outer clothing.

NO ORGANIZED
FIRE DEPARTMENT

Our city now has no organized fire
department. for the fire chief and
members Of the department resigned
At the City council meeting last Sat
urday night This comes a. a sur
prise to the council and to the peo-
pie In general. The fire fighters do
not think they have been getting a
square deal. while on the other hand
the City Fathers feel that with the
limited amount Of money in the City's
Treasury. they are doing the best they
can.
The grievances set forth by the
firemen in their resignation, were that
the fire apparatus had not been given
proper quarters, that the car could
not be properly used in the winter
uime on account Of freezing conditions
as the present location Of the fire
station is not heated. They also
complaint that other persons aside
from members Of the department were
constantly Interfering with and us
Ing the apparatus instead Of waiting
Till member appeared. Thus anyone
would use the apparatus and in most
cases use II wrong. so that in all
the fire department and It's members
have been the Laughing stock Of the
town." according to their complaint
In all probability there has been
too many tampering with the appar-
atus when firemen had not arrived,
and that this rebellion on the part Of
the firemen may be the means Of
starting some movement which will
mean greater strides In progression
for our city.
The City Council are going to pro-
vide better quarters for the apparat-
US. One plan that is deemed likely
will be TO place the fire engine in the
garage. where II will be kept warm
turing the winter months and where |
II can have the care Of experts. The
car could be started every few days
TO see that II Is in condition. II IL |
suggested that some OF the garage |
men could be appointed as firemen
and there would then always be !
someone near who could run the car
Ind see that II Is done right.
Another thing which II Is expected
will be done someday will be the
erection OF good fire station on the
City hall lot This can not be done. |
however. until the city treasury be-
comes more flushed" with money.
The mayor and council will also ef-
feet new organization and It Is
Ia thought that some Of the old men, |
bers will again be appointed on the
force. end the firemen will receive
pay for all time put in at fires and
At practice.
Another thing which would help |
our system would be better met
bod Of turning In alarms by electric
bell or fire alarms at the homes OF
The different members.
At present nothing can be done
hbout purchasing a new machine, the
officials state.

great majority children still must car

A few suggestions as to the lunch
box: Buy a package Of paper nap
kins and wrap food in them. or In par
ann paper, thus keeping the food fla-
vors unnixed. When practical small
paper cups FOR custards and Jelly or
gelatine desserts are light and attrac-
tive.
A meal In which all the important
kinds Of food are represented tends
to keep the child In good condition and
give him good habits OF eating.
The following are some suggestions
for bin of fare for the lunch basket:
Sandwiches, with sliced tender meat
for filing; baked apple, cookies and
few raIsins or two or three pieces
Of pure. homemade candy.
Slices Of meat or bean loaf, bread
and butter sandwiches, stewed fruit.

DRY FARMER IN TOWN

William Delzer was in from Taber
Wells on the desert Tuesday and
said he is not planning to abandon
the dry farms, tho people are not
raising any grain this year. Nearly
all the settlers have. gone away, and
the few who put out crops have been
swamped with rabbits and squirrels.
They get thinned out during the
hard winters and multiply during
the rest of the time. They are very
numerous now and when they con-
centrate on one lone tract it does
not last long. They do not eat the
grain; they bite it off and suck the
juice out of the stalk and drop it
and bite off another stalk.
Mr.. Delzer says the grass is get
ting pretty we'll recovered, and by
next year it should be very good. He
intends to get up a herd to place on
the desert, and he will charge fee
for watering them at the well. He
sometimes picks up some money wa
tering passing herds. He charges
half a cent head for sheep. If
there is a shower, however slight,
the sheep will eat the grass while it
is wet and do not need to go to the
we'll. They get very good supply
Of water if they can Craze while the
dew is on.

can hardly bear the suspense. Girls
working in the department stores

He says that when they rush into

of the girls faint, and the other two
thirds spend their time trying to re-
