CUT OUT CROOKED STICKS
Use Of Dead Wood for Fuel 10 Also
Applied to seoundreis and
the War.

Forestry experts In New York. a
state which has given much conserv-
ing attention to its wealth In trees,
urge farmers to help the country meet
the high cost of fuel by making more
use Of the dead and dying timber In
their wood lots. They are advised to
burn In their stoves and grates the
fallen logs still sound enough to be
converted into fire wood and to cut
down and utilize crooked trees owl
ously fOredoomed to worthlessness as
timber, no matter how long they may
be allowed to stand.
This is good advice, and there Is a
human moral In the crooked stick part
of 1t, says an exchange. The same
stress of war times. which led to the
appeal issued to New York farmers
IN sitting out crooked men. Some ras-
calls will profit by war conditions, but
in the broad view Of the nations af-
fairs the sound and strnight will come
to the front. The country can't tnke
chances with scoundrels. 1t must cut
crooked sticks out Of the lIfe-and-

"The object of this war is to deliver

led by an irresponsible government
which, having secretly planned to dom

plan out without regard either to the
sacred obligations Of treaty or the long
established practices and long cher
ished principles of international action
and honor; which chose it's own time
for the war; delivered its blow fercely
and suddenly; stopped at no barrier
either Of law or of mercy; swept a
whole continent within the tide Of

but the blood of innocent women and

whether he had perceived the eyes.

OSHKOSH COAL
MEN SCORED
Their Profits Held by Federal Com
mission to Be Excessive

Reporting on the coal profit situa-
ton in Oshkosh, the federal trade com
mission has issued a statement declar-
ing that since So a ton is an ample
margin on coal, retail dealers in the
Wisconsin city were not justified in
the gross margins they realized in
April. The report says:
"The household price of egg, stove
and chestnut in Oshkosh was uniform
~ maintained during April, 1917 at
81 per net ton. During May about
half of the retailers charged $1,000
per ton and the other half charged
s11. Only three retailers sold any pea
coal for household purposes. One Of
them charged $40 per ton in both April
and May. Another charged SO in Ap-
ril and $3.50 in May.
"The average gross margin on egg
coal obtained by all the retailers re-
porting was 1927 per net ton in April
and s2.74 in May; on stove coal it was
1923 in April and $3.50 in May; on
chestnut coal it was s274 in April and
1913 in May, and on pea coal it was
$3.50 in April and 1892 in May. The
unweighed average on all sizes for the
two months was 1924 per net ton in
April and 1929 in May"
"Since 81 per ton is ordinarily an
ample gross margin, it is clear that
the retailers of Oshkosh obtained on
the whole unreasonable margins" says
the report. at is true that the sup
ply Of anthracite was about ten per
cent short, yet this certainly would
not justify such gross margins as
were realized in April"
The report referes to the profits of
six dealers in Oshkosh.
