It will be needless for me to go into

of feeding 86 girls and HO babies. Tho
task is difficult at anv time, but a
tremendous burden at present. I appeal
to you to remem tier the girls and balms
during this canning season, and put up
a little extra to ship to the Ixiuise Home
and the Albertina Kerr Nursery Home,
where we are caring tor alnuidoned
mothers and belies, and we assure you
that whatever you can do in their behalf
will lie greatly apprec iated. Why not

The conflsgratlon was caused by the
earehws use of matches. The bouse was
saved with only about 146 00 of damage.
The heroic work of Mr. Ruel however,
did more than anything else to eave the
building as the Kern Park company’s
equipment does not include chemical
apparatus and there was no hydrant
within half a mile of the burning build
ing. Perhaps some day Fire Depart
ment Headquarters will learn that the
lenta volunteer fire department has a
chemical equipment es|>ecially for the
local water limitations. To send only
hose equipment to sections where there
is no water is folly yet it is done repeat
edly. The Kern Park l»oys made a re
cord run and did good service consider
ing what they were up against.
Mrs. Ruel i* an invalid and when the
fire broke out Mr. Ruel immediately
carried her out of the house to a place
of safety and then went back and com
menced to tight the flames with such
success as to nearly have them under
control when the department arrived.

Much misunderstanding has arisen
on thia point, but the foregoing state

After a man han once been notified to

million acres of better land in other
states liehl the same way. That is why
we have food shortage. It is not a
