fore. Properly piled, the better kind
of wood will last two to three years.
To have the best chatting value as
well as to reduce the cost of hauling
wood should be thoroughly seasoned
which means air-drying for six to
eight months. When piled properly,
30 per cent of the moisture can be
removed in three months. Wood cut
during November, therefore, may be
burned in the latter part of the win
ter.
Hauling wood costs from so to 70
cents cord mile, according to the
cost of teams. Winter employment
of teams reduces their cost for 9TH
er farm work, and with the high
price OF. grain this is an important
item in all computations of farm la
Dor income. Assuming the cost of
cutting as 50 cord and of hauling
as so cents mile, the following ta-
bic indicates the distance which wood
may be valued while giving a profit
of 50 cord to cover stumpage
value:

1t is where team hauled wood can
be used in place of railroad hauled
coal that the change should be made,
the fuel administration believes
Farmers who own woodlands and
residents of towns who can purchase
wood from nearby farmers are in
the best position to reduce their con-
sumption of coal. 1t is not expect
ed substitution of wood. for coal will
be complete or universal: for many
purposes 4coal is more, convenient.
But for heating many kinds of
buildings, wood is more convenient
and cheaper fuel, particularly in the
case of churches, halls, summer cot
tages, and other buildings for which
heat is required only occasionally,
but is then wanted in large volume
at short notice.

Gently employed at the Texas Shook

tie of "Charles H. Monroe, Pvt. 1st
Co. Av. Sec, Sig, Enl. Res. Corps" p"
All of which means that he has en-
listed for aviation service and that
he will soon be called into training.
Mr.. and Mrs. Monroe were resi-
dents of this city for several months
and made many friends while here.
They are especially missed here be-
cause Of their musical talents which
were so often contributed to social
and church occasions during their
stay here. Their friends will be
glad to learn that Mr.. Monroe has
gained his objective in being ad-
mltted to the service of his country
in the aviation corps. A part of
letter to Mr.. C. S. Beard from Mr..
Monroe follows:
after l am called to active SER
vice, which will be as soon as a va
cancy occurs. In one of the ground
schools. l will possibly be in train
ing in the Ohio State University or
the University of Tennessee, or
some one, for about 8 weeks, l be-

for two months or more, then I

II have applied for Pilot, which
means the one who runs the ma
chine, either alone or with an OBJ
server along. Lieut.. Stanford says
there is no reason why l should not
get it and that will probably b.
called to school about a month from
now.
Was not bothered about anything
except my weight, but by strenuous
eating and drinking l brought it up
to 120 1-2 pounds. My heighth, 81
inches, demanded 18 pounds e to

lowed. So l was just within the linz
it. I didn't quite make it the first
day, but was given another chance
and did it. If anyone has to make

and drink pint of water with each
pound eaten"

Comparative Fuels

The fuel administration of Louis
lana is urging communities that be-
lieve they are threatened with coal
shortage to stimulate the cutting of
wood; and insuring the substitution
of wood as fuel wherever it can be
used without inconvenience to the
consumer. Such action will do
much to relieve the fuel situation,
and will reduce the heating expense
of thousands of families, according
to John G. O'Keley, state fuel ad-
ministrator.
The administration with the aid Of
the Forest Service, is sending
through the state, tables prepared
by the Forest Service show that the
consumer can afford to pay as hight
as $6.40 a cord for short leaf pine
and $7.20 a cord for long leaf pine
as substitute for 200O-pound ton
of coal at $500.
The bulletin issued by the admin
istration says: IF the consumer can
buy coal at 50 a ton, it would hard
ly be worth his while to burn first
class wood at So cord, except in
an open fireplace, because coal is a
mere convenient fuel. If, however,
coal becomes so scarce that it can
not be secured in sufficient quanti-
ties, the consumer will in some cases
have to burn wood at SO or even
SIS cord. In many sections wood
is selling at the latter prices at the
time of writing (Sept. ~.

The Prussiian Autocracy
Continued from Yesterday

The Reichstag does not really in
ltiate legislation. Important meas
ures are first discussing in the Bun
desrath, then they go to the Reich
stag and back to the Bundesrath for
approval. The initiative, for the
most part, comes from the chancel-
lor, who is also prime minister of
Prussia. The ruler, as Emperor,
may instruct the chancellor to pre-
pare measure; as King he may or
der him to introduce it and may di-
rect amendments to be made and
prevent changes. As Emperor he
may promulgate the law, and a.
King he administers it in Prussia.
There is no imperial cabinet. The
chancellor is the only minister. The
other heads of departments act in
dependently Of each other but un-
der the supervision of the chapcei-
lor. The chancellor is not in the
slightest degree responsible to Par.
Lament or to the people, but solely
to the Emperor, and this by reason
Of the fact that he is also prime min
lister of Prussia and represents the
King Of Prussia in the Bundesrath.
When Won Bethmann-H -Hollweg be-
came chancellor he emphasized this
fact, asserting 81 do not serve Par

play the role of servant of the peo-

stag Prussia sends 236. The body
can be dissolved at any time by tho

emperor. This power has been
used effectively three times to
break down the resistance Of the

to pass the bill to suppress the So
in 1887, when it would not
agree to fix the size Of the army
for seven years; and, in 1898, when
it declined to change the military
system. In each case the new body
did what the Government demanded.
Since the principal financial ar
are matters of standing
allowances, or passes one reducing
them, the Government can be car
ried on the old basis without any
action on the part of Parliament.
We find a parallel for this in En-
glish history in the days Of the Stu
arts.
