Mr.. ReimOld, i'm charge of the af-

that those who have claims of depos-
it to file do so soon. The claims have
mostly been made but there are a
number of smaller ones, some of them

themselves or in trust.) make claim
no matter how small the amount may

First Blizzard
Hits Here Friday

A snow storm hit this section OF
colorado at about noon on Friday of
lac, week and during the afternoon
and night the storm swept over the
country and covered the ground to
denth of several inches. The snow
was quite wet at first but by evening
the falling temperature had turned it
into dry snow which drifted many
of the highways full and made travel
difficult. In few places the drifts
filled the roads until they were next
to impassable.
This was the firsi real storm of the
winter and the nights since have been
quite cold and the snow has been 60
ing off rather slowly.

OILS. Stages A
Football Banquet
By the School Staff

On saturday evening. tDecemDer
third, was held the first annual high
school football dinner for the Ord
way high school. This dinner was
given by the faculty for the mem
bers of the football team as honor
guests.
The entire event was declared
complete success from the unique
decorations and elegantly served din
ner to the farce football game staged
by the high school girls.
The club room in the high school
building was beautifully decorated
with the high school colors, red and
white. Long streamers were hung
from the walls and met at points
above the tables. The tables were
decorated with candles, place cards.
menu cards and flowers all carrying
out the red and white color design.
Special credit should be given to the
decoration committee in their splen-
did designing and original ideas.
The menu was singularly arrang-
ed by using football terms to repre-
sent different courses and dishes so
that no one knew what was coming
next. The menu was prepared and
served by the Domestic Science de-
partment of the high school under
the direction of Miss Winnie Gillian
and no small amount of praise is due
them for the way in which the COM
mittee and entire department ac-
quilted themselves.
The menu was as follows:

SIMPLER PACKAGE
SYSTEM URGED BY
WEIGHT EXPERTS
Slack-Filled Package Bill
Indorsed at Closing
Session.

Simplification of packages for all
sorts of commodities was urged in
resolutions adopted at the closing
sessions of the fourteenth annual
conference on weights and meas
ures, held at the bureau of stand
ards yesterday. The resolutions de-
clared that the adoption of standard
sizes for packages used in various
trades and Industries would make
for greater efficiency and result In
large saving.
After considerable discussion,
mainly favorable, the conference ap.
proved the so-called slack-nlleu
package bill. an amendment to the
food and drugs act, which has re-
Gently been introduced into the
house. In leading discussion on the
bill, G. G. Frary, state inspector and
sealer of weights and measures OF
Vermillion, s. OAK, told now the
trade had in some cases only par
TALLY flled packages. and that this
abuse needs remedying.
The metric weights and measures
bill that has been introduced in con-
gress was discussed. but action was
deferred to the conference OF next
year.
A decimal system should be
adopted in this country because OF
its simplicity and the consequent
saving in time and money. Dr. S. W..
Stratton, director TO the bureau OF
standards and president of the con-
ference declared in discussing the
measure. The use of the metric
system will greatly aid our foreign
trade, he asserted. He told how the
Baldwin locomotive works during
the war changed from the English
to the metric system without loss of
time or efficiency when locomotives
for foreign countries had to be built

who represented nearly all the

ately afterward at the Raleigh
hotel.

president of the conference, and
Louis A Fisher, chief Of the
weights and measures section of the
bureau of standards. and Frank
Wanser, state superintendent of
weights and measures, Trenton, n.
j., were reelected secretary and
treasurer, respectively. w. T.
