The establishment of a free night '
j school for Kl Paso was urged by pro-
fessor VT T Flaniken. head of the j
j lommercial department at the notary j
!.u) luncheon Thursday. This infill- i
tution waa needed he said more than I
I ! v other in the city and he dcared !
j i imself as prepared to begin the agi- J
anon tor it at once.
E1 Paso lias the best equipped high
school buildings of any city I have
ier seen." said Mr rianiken. "I am
figaged to work Jn this school as an
ustructor. but my work Is more than
' the immediate high school. It Is
to coorratc the citv with th Mrh
I school that is to articulate both.
eeI Free Mr:ht School.
"Since I have been here. I have found
one thing in the city which is abso-
lutelv lacking This is a night school
v.hich hall be absolutely free. It is
incumbent on us to get this and 1
'eelare myself as an agitator for it
'El Paso shows all of its thr'ft and
vitality in going after things for the
city's good and m every case gets
them. But without going after and
netting a night school to instruct pe" --on
who must work for a li'.ing. it
lias not all which it needs.
"To maintain a night school would
"juire some exyense. such as light-
r u. janitor service and teachers.
7 iese could be obtained bv getting
i'P a monthly sum from differeit
-ources. With the start the high
school could teach commercial clasrr

good business men which El Paso I
ouId be opened from 7 SO otlock to

who desire instruction to advance
themselves. I have found repeated
I ne"ds for such a school hre and on
numerous occasions members nf mv

Imreased price of paper and the
scarcity of the product is causing
heads of El Paso business houses to
work out problems whereby they can
reduce their paper expense to the fig-
ures that prevailed before the war.
Remedies for the enormous paper ex-
penses are being experimented with
and a general move to conserve paper
Is being made.
Merchants say that the increased pa-
per expense is enormous and tney are
having difficulty in having their or-
ders filled rroin manufacturers be-
cause of the scarcity.
Orders have been issued generally
to etnploves to save every scrap of pa-
per. In instances paper is being used
two and three times over. This is es-
pecial) v a fact in the case with heavy
wrapping paper.
Popular Considers Problem.
At the Popular Dry Goods company's
store which uses probably as large a
quantitv of paper as any other busi-
ness house in the citv a careful study
of the paper famine problem is being
made ay president A. Schwartz and
other officials of the store. Mr
Schwart said Thursday that at the
present time he has not been struck
b the paper famine or increased paper
expense because of having secured a
quantity in the past which will last the
store for months to come. Neverthe-
less ne is devising means to meet the
future scarcity and to keep down the
inevitable increased cost of the pro-
duct which will come when his present
suppl is diminished.
'One of the remedies which will
probablv help to cut down the extrav-
agant use of paper which we now hav.
under consideration. Is abolishing the
wrapping of goods which regularly
come m boxes." said Mr. Schwartz.
This can be done with shoes and any
number of other articles which we selL
Anv number or stores throughout the
west have placed this remedy into
practice and it is proving one" of the
means of economizing in paper. AVe
have not yet found It necessary to do
this In our store but we may be re-
quired to if the paper famine continues.
'.re- IteuKlng Paper.
"Another remedy which we have now
in practice is the reusing of paper. Ev-
ery bit of wrapping paper which comes
to us from manufacturers is saved in
our store. We use this In making
shipments of our goods to other places
We have found that this is being done
generally throughout the country bv
both wholesalers and retailers.
"An indirect means which we are
using to cut down our paper expense
is to save everj scrap of waste paper.
This we bale and are now using for
fuel. It has helped to cut down our
fuel expense and for a period of two
das during the recent Tuel famine in
Kl Paso w-e burned only paper In our
furnaces because we were unable to
secure coal. When it is considered that
our furnaces consume from one to two
tons of coal a day. jou can see what a
saving the waste paper made for us."
Telegraph nlanks Saved.
At the Postal Telegraph-Cable office
manager C D. ililler is working to cut
down the huge paper expense of the
company. Instead of the reckless waste
of blanks which was experienced In tho
past every piece of paper Is being
saved Paper which has been partly
used is being clipped and used for note
patper
The Western Union Telegraph com-
pany is condensing space on telegraph
blanks by using the single space in
tvpew riting messages instead of the
doub'e spacing formerly used. This
has proved a considerable saving in the
ise of blanks
The Tri-State Telephone companv
has been forced to use a cheaper grade
of paper In Its directory because of the
scarcity and the Increased cost of high
grade paper It Is now devising means
to oitain whatever economv possible
in the use of paper in order to cut
lown this high expense
STOCKHOLDERS OF CANNING
FACTORY TO MEET SATURDAY
A meeting will be held In Ysleta on j
Saturday afternoon of the stockhold-
ers of the proposed cannlns factory j
which will be located In or near the '
tewn. AH farmers irrespective of
w nether or not they are stockholders
are urged to attend the meeting for '
luestions concerning the products to i
be canned and the acreage necessary J
fcr the successful operation of the
factory will be taken up. j
It is planned to handle vegetables
and fruits or all klncta at the factory
and a special appeal la to be made
to the farmers concerning the raising
of quantities of tomatoes. The factory
desires to keep the large orders for
canned tomatoes right here in tne
southwest instead of having them go
to eastern firms. The demand alonff
these lines in Kl Paso and vicinity can
be met with the proper cooperation of i
the farmers it is said.

The Coal Situation
Goal cost is one or the big costs
in generating power.
Market reports published by the Black Dia-
mond an official coal trade journal show an
increase since December 1915 of 166 2-3 per cent in the price
of screenings.
The private plant operator who knows that
heavy coal bills are adding largely to his own
cost of doing business may rightly wonder why CENTRAL STA-
TION SERVICE can remain unimpaired. For the coal situation
has in no way affected the qnality and the economy of CENTRAL
STATION SERVICE.
Coal costs are higher but CENTRAL STA-
TION SERVICE is cheaper today than ever
before.
In a period where coal and other costs of pri-
vate plant power production have increased
alarmingly the rates for CENTRAL STATION SERVICE to in-
dividual wholesale users have actually gone down.
Let our engineers demonstrate to you the
economies Central Station Service will effect
in solving your own Power Problem.
