D|G LOSS IN FIRE AT
 CHANDLER SATURDAY

CHANDLER, March What proved to be one of the worst fires in the city of Chandler was that which destroyed the Freeman service station and hall on Saturday evening. The fire was dis covered about 10:50 Saturday evening by Town Marshal C. L. Malone and he immediately gave the alarm and the local fire apparatus was rushed to the scene. By the time the apparatus arrived, the fire was beyond control and efforts were directed to the saving of the property across the alley from tho fire. Fire fighters yaliantly fought, and due to the fact that there was no winds the fire was kept to the Freeman building.
 Apparatus was dispatched from Mesa to assist in the fighting of the. fire. bue when it arrived, after having made . record breaking run of 10 minutes rom Mesa, the fire was under control. AZ | the time the fire was discovered. the owner, M. P. Freeman, was driving to Casa Grande to attend the installation of the Knights of Pythias lodge theres with a number of the other local mem- i bers, and when he reached Casa 0rande ! the telephone operator there was watt | Ing to give him the bad news. Imme-- diately upon receiving the news rec-z ord breaking run was made from Casa Grande and MT. Freeman made the re- | turn trip in hour and 30 minutes oveR | the poor roads.
 Insurance on the building was cov> cred to the amount of $15.000, while the stock and fixtures were insured for l $t0,000. Among the local lodges which met in the hall are the Knishts of l Pythias, who had their equipment and 1 paraphernalia insured for $500, and the Odd Fellows lost about $900 in eouip- ment. none of which was covered by | insurance. The local Episcopal church
 
 cars stored in the garage, the property of Messrs. Chamberlin, J. KilgorA 1 Felix, Huggett, Serrano Brothers, tho Union Stage company, and number oI others were destroyed by the fire. some having insurance and some not. Hho citizens of Chandler and surroundino country extend their sympathy to MT. Freeman and it is hoped that he will rebuild as the building destroyed was Il one of the show places of Chandler and was the result of years of hard work by MT. Freeman.
 Knights of Pythias Deinss The local lodge of the Knights o1 Pythias will hold a special meeting al the chamber of commerce han on Tuesday evening March 8, at ?. m. and it is requested that all members attend as this meeting will be . real
 important one and matters will bs taken up of securing lodge rooms to
 take the place of the Freeman hall which was destroyed by fire. The local
 lodge had the misfortune to lose aH their books and paraphernalia in the fire.
 ,i A number of the local members jour- f neyed to Casa Grande on Saturday night to assist in the installation of the new lodge at Casa Grande. namely , Casa Grande No. 37. Among those whc ! went on the trip were Messers- Ciary . Weber, Gilbert, Bradford. Freeman , Jorgensen, Parkes and Hailoran.

DAMAGING TESTIMONY

1t is not surprising that Germany's
propositions on reparations are not
satisfactory to the allied governments.
Germany's attitude since the signing
of the armistice, has been one of bad
faith. Because the war was not fought
on her own soil, it seems hard for her
as a nation to realize that she was de-
feated.
In debate that took place in the
Reichstag two days ago, DIR. Bret
shield, a member of that body, said

demanded from his enemies if he hat
won the war, and have the documents
to prove that he would have required
of America 100000, OOO, 900, of France
$40, 900, 100000, and of England $780,
900, 900, OOO."
These sums would have totaled the
handsome budget of one hundred bill
lion dollars. Germany being respon

Scores of our people seem not to
realize that the chief source of in
come to the newspaper is its space,
says the GAINESVILLE Banner Sentinel.
There is no hesitancy on the part of
many in asking the editor to publish
an item in his paper without charge,
which is more of an advertisement
than a piece of news. On the other
hand, it is seldom customary to ask
the merchant to give away one of the
many articles on his shelf. Nobody
thinks of walking into store, point
ing out something and saying, "Please
give me that for nothing" Yet they
go right around to the newspaper Of
fee with an article they know will
bring them in money and they coolly
and deliberately say to the ditor:
please give us space for this"

FIELD MICE AND MELONS

Missouri melon growers are re-
questing aid in controlling field mice
which are reducing the stand Of mel
ons. The horticultural department Of
the University of Missouri College of
Agriculture recommends a poisoned
bait, as follows:
One ounce of strychnia sulphate dis
solved in one pint of boiling water
Add one pint of thick syrup and stir,
The syrup may be scented with a few
drops of oil of anise to attract mice
and conceal strychnine. Soak one
half bushel Of oats. wheat, corn or oat'
meal in this solution over night. II
solution is too wet for seed to Absorb
add little dry cornmeal, if too dry
add water.
Place six to twelve bait traps in ev
cry second or third row of melons i
mice are numerous. Place few
grains of the treated seed under {
short board or single and put
cross stick under one end so the mice
will be encouraged to hide beneath
the board and will find the bait. Thi

free goods you'd be refused, and, fur
Their, he'd accuse you Of wanting
something for nothing. And yet you
will find many who can't see it in the
same light when it comes to asking
the newspaper man to give away his
stock in trade--his space.
The newspaper does more to adver-
tise the community and forward pub
lie movements than any other institu-
tion. There is no question about that,
and even people who do not take a pa
per and pay for it know something
about the power of the press. Yet the
newspaper is asked for more free
things than is asked of any other in
stitution. The duty of the paper is to
conform to the needs, ideals and tast-
es of the community and to serve as
a medium of information. 1t was new

THE LAUGHING LIZARD

I've seen some rabid hunks of
cheese, plebeian, coarse and vulgar,
the lingo and the Javanese, the Bolshe-
vik and Bulgar. I've heard the fetid
tropics call, the rigor Of the blizzard,
but most disgusting ilk of all I'd term
the laughing lizard. He haunts the
moving picture place, with tiny PIN
pies clustered about his pale laek-lus-

A SPLENDID WORK

We believe that the St Louis
Council for Nursing Education Is
to be commended for it's earnest and
sincere work in bringing to light
for the public, the benefits to be
derived from the splendid free
hospital training courses.
An organization of this type with
such definite constructive ideals de-
serves support 1t is rendering a
service of in-estimable good in re-
vealing the true oppor tunity
presented by entry into the noble
profession of nursing. 1t is to be
hoped the parents of capable, alert
ambitious girls will seriously con-
slider the advantages Of such train
ing for their daughters.
The profession is proud of It's
traditions and of the knowledge, that
1t has had the service of many women
of rare character and social spirit.
For those who are temperamentally
suited to the work, who have high
sense of duty and who love humanity
and desire to serve, nursing training
open the way to an interesting pro-
fessional career. At the same time
the educational work and training
equip one for broad and successful
family life,
The demand for nurses thoroughly
trained Is so much greater than the
supply, that 1t almost assures the
pupil nurse of good position on
graduation.
The training schools are open for
girls from 10 to 35 years of age.
The more extensive her education
previous to entering the hospital
schools, the greater the possibilities
of a career for the intelligent
woman. At least two years high
school work is required. Collegiate
and advanced work enable one to
qualify more easily for the better
positions open to those who study
nursing. There are. constantly.
openings for those capable Of
experimenting the work of hospital
and training schools. There are
many positions always waiting for
those capable of directing depart
mental work. Social welfare work
and foreign missionary and Red
Cross work offer unusual oppor-
tunities for others.
Notifications of the early require
ments OF long and arduous service
now make the work interesting.
Upon graduation the trained nurse
finds her work even more remuner-
alive than are the ordinary business
activities to which young women
have been attracted the last few
years.
Ample time is provided in the
course for those social activities
necessary for complete and health
full development spiritually, physi-
cally and mentally. During the
course generous va cations are
granted. The families are free to
communicate with the girls in train
ing.
the broadening and enlightening
influence Of nursing work and the
thorough training necessary to
achieve recognition in the work
| deserve to be more fully understood
by all OF us
It Is to be hoped that there will
be a widespread response on the
4 part of both parents and daughters
to the appeal of the st. Louis
Council Tor Nursing Education.

How Inner Tubes Are Made.
"A trip through the factory.)

a trip through the factory)
To start at the beginning | must tell
you Of the large plantation adjoining
the factory. where the inner tubes
are grown. The plants grow close TO
the ground and are very buShy. The
inner tubes grow IN lengths from the
center Of the plant and run along the
ground like a vine.
The plants are divided into rows
according to size. For instance. the
smaller plants on which the 30N3 u
tubes grow are in one row and the
3lxi plants in another. and so on.
They bloom only every other day
that is. il takes two days for tube
to get in full bloom. For the first
day after the tube is cut the plant
shows no signs of blooming. but on
the morning of the second day a
beautiful new inner tube starts to
bloom out and by night it is ready to
cut
The tubes are ripe at about 10
o'clock at night. Men go along the
rows each night with tape measures
to measure the tubes and make sure
they are ripe and ready to cut. If
they are the right length they are cut
and taken into the shop, where the
ends are vulcaniZed together and the
valve stems put in. After testing.
the tubes are packed and shipped to
dealers in all parts of the country
