A Substitute For Coal

Those who wondering what the United States will
do for fuel when the present fixed supply Of coal is
exhausted may find encouragement in the fact that
Norwegian has found a way of making coal from the
waste of paper factories News of the discovery has
been to the department of by American
consul general Dennison at Christiania.
The inventor, R V. Streenert, an engineer at Goth
enburg is said to have evolved process of making
coal in powder form from suphite ye of the wastes
of paper factories. The I've is boiled, mixed with
foreign substance the of which is not disclosed
boiled again under high pressure, and the residue is
black sedimentaIy deposit which, when dried, is said
be coal in powdered form 1t is expected that the coal
powder thus obtained will be cast into bricquets.
The sulphte I've is said to contain more than half
the timber used IN making paper, and it is this timber
which is converted into coal
The consul general has not stated whether in his opn
on enough coal could thus be manufactured supply
any considerable demand And it may be that before
many years, substitute for timber may have to be
found for the manufacture of paper At any rate, the
NOTwegian's discovery promise that if his
method of fuel making is impractical because of the
limited supplies which 1t depends at least it is
step toward solving the fuel problem and will encourage
other scientific minds which thinking along similar

Military Training In Schools

resolution passed by the school board, providing
compulsory military training for boys in the public
schools Is interesting first of ALL because 1t means the
making of better disciplined, more self reliant boys
and BOYS stronger physically, and secondly because the
school board has followed the general trend of senti
ment throughout the country. The movement to IN
augurate comprehensive military training in public
schools academies colleges and universities under gov
eminent supervision is becoming widespread 1t is ia
vored for many sound reasons Of which appeals to
most people 1t is that military training the schools
provides sort of substitute for the univ sal military
service which many have been advocating tJr all young
men Of the nation.

election you are going to vote with
your eyes wide open, with the unde-
niable facts before you. You can vote
for Judge Ira +. Robinson and his as
sociates, who are the candidates Of

for the Hon. John ]. Cornwell and his
associates, who are the candidates of
the people. Even the Hatfield ma
chine organs and orators admit that
John Cornwell told the taxpayers the
truth in 1904 about the machine ticket
and the new tax laws. You have lived
to regret that you did not heed Mr..
Cornwells warning. for the election of
the machine ticket and the adoption of
the new tax laws increased taxation
and fastened the Virginia debt upon
the state besides building up one of
the most corrupt machines that ever
cursed a state. You will remember
that the machine said Cornwell's
warning was Democratic campaign
lies" You know today who did the
lying in 1904. You are further aware
that the Hatfield machine has not
dared this campaign to tell you that
Cornwell lied to you in 1904.
Mr.. Cornwell is delivering another
message to the taxpayers in 1916 and
the same old machine is crying Dem

GOVERNOR HATFIELD

His coming was not advertised very

charges Of extravaganza made by Cen
