mines for fifty-one years, and des- troyed S26. .0O0.0O0 worth of coal.
 Coal is wasted in making coke. by the use of beehive ovens, instead of using ret0urt ovens. The retourt ovens not only yields greater amount of coke per ton and better quality than the beehive, but 1t yields large amount of by-products. These are gas. tar, and ammonia. Gus is used for heat and light, coal tar IS made into dye stulfs and medicines. Ammonia is a valuable fertilizer.
 Coal is wasted through:
 1. Poor mining.
 2 Fires.
 3. Poor methods of getting coke. 4. Imperfect combustion.
 ,. Failure to utilize by-produets.
 Saving Iron
 The greatest iron fields are around Lake Superior. and many of them are owned by the U. $. Steel Corp. This company feels it's responsibility as many other companies do not. There fore the U. s. Steel Corp. is mining it's ore with better methods. and more carefully, than has sometimes been done.
 To a considerable extent, they are uncovering the mines from above, and consequently do not need so much timber for support. One seource of waste. however, was in the use Of the iron when 1t had been made into machinery, etc. Today, however much of this waste Is being used. and many men have become rich, by buy ing up iron. which was formerly wasted. and selling it again.
 Saving Petroleum
 Petroleum collects in great under ground pools Over the top of the pool gathers gas. Only by the down ward pressure of the gas on the top of the oil. can the oil in the pool be driven above ground Down to this pool pipes are thrust. When the pipe reaches the pool, the gas and oil rush upward, often flooding the sky with gas. Many times hundreds of bar rels or oil are wasted, before the stream can be checked.
 Water is often allowed to flow in- to the oil pool, thus spelling the oil. Oil Is used for light, for heat, and as
 
 following ways:
 1. Care in obtaining it.
 2. Keep water out.
 3. Do not waste it in burning
 i. Do not export 1t.
 Save Natural Gas
 In some parts of the country, gas which may be used for light and heat Is found in the earth. Many towns and cities in the middle west make use of this natural gas. In times gone by much of this gas had been wasted. More care is needed in it's production and use.
 Save Water Power
 Water is needed to produce crops Forests help to hold the moisture in the ground. The barcr the country is of trees the greater Is the evapor- ation. There are brooks underground as there are brooks above ground Underground water is used for drink ing and for watering the cattle on 'arms. IL is brought to the surface by wells and springs. The surface waters are used to furnish the water supplies for large cities, like Provi- dence. Boston. and New York Sur face waters in brooks and rivers ara used to furnish water-power for mills and factories. Water which runs off may be held in reservoirs for irriga- ton. or for power. Rivers are used as routes for navigation. Water power is cheaper than coal. Neverthe- less we should all help to save the water. because of it's usefulness We can do this by not using it unneces- 1ariiu

UNOCCUPIED FARM
 SCENE OF FIRE
House, Barn and Outbuildings at Jacques Place Totally
 Destroyed
May Have Been Ineendiary or Care
 iessness

A house, barn and outbuildings on an unoccupied farm on the Putnam Heights road were burned last Friday evening. There is suspicion that the ire aas the work of an incendiary. The loss was one to two thousand dol lars.
 The farm where the fire occurred 6 known as the Jacques place, n family by that name having been the last Putnam family to occupy it. The property then passed into the hands of W. l.. Derr of Limona, Florida. MT. and Mrs. Derr occupied the place summers for a number Of seasons. They have not been there for the past eight years
 The fire was discovered by Arthur Tourtellotte. His attention was at traeted by flames appearing from the barn windows. The fire spread rapid ly and soon enveloped the other build ings. including a story and a hall dwelling.
 Seen for Miles
 The location of the fire made 1t one which could be seen for several miles around and large number of people hurried to the scene. The fire de partment was not summoned. There was no water available and the fire men could have given no help. Vol unteers kept the flames from spread ing over the brush and grass.
 It Is said that the abandoned farm had been discovered by a number Of young people who eongregated there at times. This makes the theory that carelessness. rather than intent, may have caused the fire, a plausible one. The state police were notified and have been Investigating.

Saving the Forests


 We have been careless with a very precious natural resource timber All of us should help in preserving the forests. for they are slowly disappear ing. because of our earelessness.

 Take care Of the young growing trees. Leave seed trees. Do clean work; have logging plans. Remove ail the timber that Is cut. Remove that. that is dead or blown down. Cut the slumps low. Take care in felling the tree.

Shields were invariably used as decoration. not alone because they lend q fitting ground to which to carve some symbol but because they are symbolic in themselves i'll that they express Nigor, chivalry and honor. The design of shields above the OriCl window head of the west toned. The actual designs on the shields are merely conventional markings to give more play of lighI and shade. The oak leaf design which altc1natcs with the shields iS q symbol of truth. however.
 "The ornament at the very top of the west entrance is a present day adaptation of some of these old prin- Ciples. The designer being inter- csted in world peace. etc. has shown the dead eagle of war on it's shield typifying the end of hatred. while the swords and helmet arc hung up for want of bearer and the fear Of conflict hung with them. Thus do even such things as swords and shields and eagles suggest even peace and happiness when viewed in the light of understanding.
 . Thus has the designer tried 10 put into his ornament the spirit Of education with it's serious and whimsical side alike. Here a grotes- que peeps out from under shadow ing cove, his homely features de- picting joy, or sorrow. constant re- hinder oi everyday occurrences. Here and there a shield should re- mind all to be kind and chivalroLs as the knights of old. while even the carved leaves and flowers speak their own symbolic language 10 the initiated.
 Tn the New Britain High school the designers aim as far as ornI- mcnt was concerned was to get away from the unnecessarily prosaic use Of unintercsting tracery. lcafagc, etc, and imbuc the decoration with a symbolic meaning. which makes 1t a vital thing and holds not only the eye but perhaps stirs the imagina- tion."
