While wood as a fuel is less econo-
mical to handle and use than coal, It
is in many parts of the West cheaper,
even at normal price levels. Stoves
and furnaces, however, equipped to
burn coal usually require different
CRATES to permit Of the substitution to
advantage, and this is pointed out as
one reason why the householder will
do well to look ahead and decide be-
forehand how he will keep warm and
what he will feed the kitchen stove

Where sawmills are operating III
the woods at points within hauling
distance of towns, there is chance
TO obtain slabs and other material
that ordinarily goes to waste. Since
green or wet wood is both poorer fuel
and heavier to transport and handle
than dry, mill waste as it comes from
the saw is relatively undesirable. for
immediate use. For these reason IS

FORESTS TO

To meet any possible coal short

tensive use of fuel wood from the ma
tional Forests is urged by the Govern
ments foresters, who are advising

ments for the supply of their fuel

The Supervisors OF the l53 Nation
al Forests will be 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

But England's cheap labor and

Flemish artizans to teach her own

became the glory of England. and
brought her untold wealth.

Chicago Especially Not since the
shepherds watched their flocks by

shortage of wool as now. The mar
kets of Christendom have been swept
clean of every shred and fibre that

of clothing for the nations, and their
armies is question that must have
an answer during the Great Lakes
Wool Convention in Chicago, Sept.
11-12, to which the shepherds of the

been invited.
The convention will be held in the

the following location notice, dated
June II, 1889, was found by "Bidy

author of the poetical effusion had
been completely obliterated. Mr..

discovery:

KEEPING TREATIES.

Prominent among the causes of the war which the
government wishes emphasized by all who discuss
events is the matter of keeping and breaking of treaties
AS clearly set forth by President Wilson in his note
the Pope, people place faith in the word of
the present rulers of Germany 1t is of use make
peace agreements with people who will not keep agree
mentS
The German government when it violated the neu-
raty of Belgium expressly admitted that it was violat-
ing international law 1t excused it on the excuse as
Kaiser William said in his letter to President Wilson, that
it necessary strategical grounds" According to
that principle any agreement whatever could be violated
for the that would be advantageous to one of
the parties to break it, Germany also knows perfectly
well that when she sinks ships and murders our cti-
zens she is violating all law, treaties and agreements
All human relations dependent on the honorable
keeping of pledges In private life the who won't
keep them is kicked out of the business world 1t is
use trying to deal with him.
When nation violates it's solemn promises conditions
simply revert to the time of the man, when the
with the biggest club ruled the rest 1t is to try
to make agreements with those who try to rule in that
way. The only way is to get bigger club. Next time
they may respect agreements
That is where we are at with Germany. We are not
fighting to get any territory for ourselves anyone else
except such she may have stolen is simply teach
the rulers of Germany lesson that they will and
thoroughly realize that it is better policy to keep agree
ments AS long she will persist in breaking them and
in keeping the most powerful military force assem-
bed by nation long it is impossible for other ma
tons to live in peace with her.

THE MEETING GROUND
OF THE CAMPS,

Some of us who stay at home almost wish we were to
be soldiers read the novetry and interest the
are finding in the army cantOnment life 1t must
appeal particularly to many types of who hitherto
have led very quiet and isolated lives.
There will be hosts of farmer boys who previously
scarcely any greater assemblage of than you
would gather at the roads postofce church At
home they sommuned mostly with their own thoughts.
They went in but little for social fe they could reach
the country gatherings only by long walks in the evening
This isolation develops rugged but too independent type
of character The enthusiasm of regiment of men will
be thrilling experience to SUCH
Also it will do these fellows good to realize that the
city boys not all dudes and weakngs They will find
many of them very athletic and quite able to throw the
country boys at wrestling match Also it will do the
city boys good that the country boy is not necessar
y hayseed He may be shy of manner but underneath
he sees. ,....t
Men who previously left the boundaries of their
native states will be swapping experiences with those from
cities they only knew dmly memory of geography
study 1t will do them good to realize that their own To-
caty does not possess all advantages all wisdom.
Travel is supposed to be beneficial but the great
jorty of people get much of it. The army boys
will the world but better than that, they
will get what is the major advantage of seeing the world
the meeting with people from widely diverse occupations
and localities Men of sluggish ambition will be reused
when they find out what others doing and their
will be open to many opportunities. This army service
will be tremendous experience in great many ways
other than the military and fighting side of it.

FUEL SHORTAGE.

Up to recent years. the last thing the people of the
United States thought about fuel shortage. The
scientists might figure that the coal mines would be used
up in 1000 years. but eve should worry" 1t
Cured to them that the shortage and high price of labor
would greatly increase the cost of mining COAL and that
our supply Of fuel wood rapidly being depleted by the
gross waste of forest resources.
Today high cost fuel is threatening the security of
railroad dividends and it greatly increases the of
running any plant needing power The householder feels
keeny the augmented price of coal and wood in his home
Recognizing these conditions the government is asking
the public to conserve supplies of fuel in every way
In industrial plants various devices are used to save
coal such as automatic tOkers careful systems of
feeding fire. ETC. But the great means of saving fuel
is TO develop water powers and make rivers turn

nanen sources of wealth that will increase production
If they plant and maintain forest growth about the
headwaters of their streams they will maintain regular
flow of that stream all the year around nearly so thus
reducing the time that auxiliary steam plants burning
coal have to be operated.
1t is too bad that many millions of dollars are vast
ed in unfruitfu speculation in wildcat mining and plan
taton schemes when if they could only be used in deve
opng water powers that going to waste they would
permanently economic and reduce the cost
of manufacturing. Power plants recognized today
as one of the safest forms Of investment People who
