TO SUPPLY WOOD FOR FUEL
National Forests To Offset Possible
Coal Shortaue

National Forests To Offset Possible
Coal Shortage.
Denver-It is the opinion of for.
estry officials at Washington that the
demand for fuelwood from the ma
tional forests next winter will exceed
ali previous records. A possible coal
shortage through increased industrial
demand and lack of adequate trans
portation facilities may cause many
western communities to turn to the
national forests for greater portion
Of their fuel supplies.
The supervisors of the 1853 national
forests have been instructed to afford
all possible facilities to local residents
wishing to obtain cordwood, which
settlers may obtain free for their
home use and which is sold at low
rates to persons cutting and hauling
in order to sell to others. Since the
material thus used is mainly dead

helps to clear up the forests and les
sen the fire menace. Timber which
is insect-infested, or old and deterior-
ating, or otherwise damaged or un-
oeslraDle from the forester'S stand
point is also disposed of for fuel pur-
poses. Where sawmills are operating
IN the woods at points within hauling
distance of towns chances prevail for
obtaining slabs and other material
that ordinarily goes to waste. Since,
however, green or wet wood is unde-
sirable f1r immediate use, forest Off
GERS suggest the storing of cordwood
well in advance of winter. Also, since
coal stoves and furnaces usually re-
quire special CRATES to permit of sub
stitution, the householder is urged to
look we'll ahead and decide beforehand
as to how he will keep warm and
what he will feed the kitchen stove
next wiLter.
Applicants for fuelwood are di-
rected to communicate with the near.
est forest officer.

Following the Star
By FREDERIC E. WEAITiGRly

TT was the eve of Christmas; the
snow lay deep and white.
I sat beside my window and looked
into the night.
I heard the church bells ringing,
saw the bright stars shine,
And childhood came again to me
with all its dreams divine.
Then as I listened to the bells and
watched the skies afar.
Out of the east majestic there rose
radiant star,
And every other star grew pale be.
fore that heavenly glow.
It seemed to bid me follow, and J
could not choose but go.
From street to street it led me by
many a mansion fair.
It shone through dingy easements Oh
many a garnet bare,
From highway on to highway,
through alleys dark and cold,
And where it shone the darkness
was flooded all with gold.
Sad hearts forgot their sorrow, rough
hearts grew soft and mild,
And weary little children turned in
their sleep and smiled,
While many a homeless wanderer
uplifted patient eyes,
Seeming to see a home at last be.
yond those starry skies.
And then methought earth faded. ]
s. as borne on wings
Beyond the waste of ruined lives,
the press of human things.
Above the toll and shadow, above
the want and woe,
My old self and its darkness seemed
left on earth below,
And onward, upward, shone the star
until it seemed to me
It flashed upon the golden gates and
DER the crystal sea,
And then the gates rolled backward
I stood where angels trod.
It was the Star of Bethlehem had
led me up to God.

The Realm of
Christmas Fancy

To the realms of Christmas fancy
I must speed away, away,
Where the elfs of joy r dancing
And the sprites of pleasure play.
I must go where gentle fairies
Whisper softly on the air
And the gift king waves his scepter
Over blessings sweet and are.
Childhood's realm of Christmas
fancy
Once again shall fest my eyes
With the old time love and rapture,
With the cid time fond surprise.
In the Pickering hearthstone shad-
ows,
In the muaic and the mirth,
Once again each dear remembrance
Speaks GOOD will and peace on
earth.
In the realms of Christmas fancy
I shall very shortly see
All the old, beloved memories
Coming back to gladden. me.
Long forgotten forms and faces,
Long departed thoughts and
dreams,
I shall End IL those fair Victas
Where the Christmas glory
streams.

THE MOST DEMOCRATIC
ARMY IN THE WORLD

~ OCIALISTS who object to
81 service in the American
C army on the ground it IS
not democratic should have an
opportunity for a little expert
sence in the kaiser forces. No
pretense Of democracy is made
in the German army. The Of
ficers are selected from the ar
istocracy and a soldier of COM
mon birth finds the door of
promotion closed against him.
No such condition exists in the
United States army. Charac-
ter and ability are the essentl-
ais for admission to West
Point and to positions as off
GERS in our regular army. The
guard officers are elected
from the ranks. Any soldier
may aspire to be a general in
the American army and many
of our generals began service
as privates in the ranks.
Though necessarily subject to
discipline our army is the eX-
treme of democracy. The ma
tional army now being formed
recognizes no class distinc-
tons. Rich and poor go into
the ranks side by side, wearing
the same uniform and perform
ing the same duties. Promoti-
ons are made solely on merit.
A young soldier from q humble
home may. # he shows aptitude
and attention to business, be
placed in command Of bows
from millionaire palaces. By
the same token there is no OBJ
stacle to promotion for rich
mems sons if they but show the
proper quality Of manhood.
Socialists who criticise ser
vice in the American army de
nounce the most democratic
military force in the world
and by their actions they give
aid to another power operat-
ing along the most despotlc
lines ever known. The more
fhev investigate this subject
f1,a more viii the obiectors find
this 20 be true.

50 issued an official state
ment on the new aero
plane engine about whose am
azing performance many whis-
pers have been circulated dur
ing the past two months.
The short time within which
the new motor was developed is
a remarkable feature of the
statement. The experts in au-
tomobile engineering whose
services were requisitioned
held their first conference on
July devoted their time to the
problem night and day, after
ways known to motor engineers
in perfecting new ideas and in

I'D. On July A one had arrived
in Washington from Detroit
ready for exhaustive tests.
But that this wonderful new
piece of machinery is the pro
duct of merely 81 days of
thought and constructive. eff
fort cannot, of course, be pre-
tended. The further improve
ment of gasoline motors is a
subject which has been upper
most in the minds of the best
engineering talent for a long
time and on which much pro-
orocr hoe bnnO made
For at least two years much
experimentation has been de-
voted to revolutionary engine
types. When the government
made its imperious demand,
the experts were ready to |
show results. Probably in a
crisis they could have been |
ready before, though in nor
NAL times we would expect
that the great expense of
changing standardized types
of auto engines, which would
be made necessary by the de-
veIopment of a new type
throwing the old patterns into |
the discard, would have come
about gradually.
Astonishing unofficial stor-
les are told about the new en-
CINE. 1t is said to run equally
we'll in any position, upside
down, sidewise, cornerwise,
and to lubricate equally well.
Production of power is said to
have been increased, while at
the same time aluminium is
used to greater extent than
in previous motors, giving an
unprecedentedly low ratio of
weight to power. When it is
remembered that after a total
Of 80 hours in the air an aero
plane and engine are supposed |
to need q thorough overhauling |
and to need tinkering after no |
more than five minutes in the |

be a marvel.
