fellow countrymen have been shot down by
machine guns and shrapnel in some daring

The Fuel Value Of Wood.

Persons who plan to relieve the coal
shortage this winter by burning wood
can figure, roughly speaking, that
two pounds of seasoned wood have
fuel value equal to one pound OF COAL
according to experts of the Forest Ser
vice. While different kinds OF wood
have different fuel values, the forest
ers say that in general the greater the
dry weight of non-resinous wood,
the more heat it will give out when
burned.
For such species as hickory, oak, !,
beech, birch, hard maple, ash. locust,
longleaf pine or cherry, which have
comparatively high fuel values, one
cord, weighing about 1000 pounds,
is required to equal one ton OF coal.
1t takes a cord and a half of short
leaf pine, hemlock, red gum, syca-
more or soft maple, which weighs
about 5000 pounds cord, to equal
a ton of coal, while for cedar, poplar,
catalpa, cypress, spruce and white
pine, two cords, weighing about 2,OOO
pounds each, are required.
Weight for weight, however, there
is very little difference between varl-
Gus species. Resin affords about
twice as much heat as wood, so that
resinous woods have a greater heat
value per pound than non-reslnous
woods, and this increased value var
les, of course, with the resin content.
The available heat value of a cord
of wood depends also on the amount
of moisture present. The greater
amount of water in the wood the
more heat is lost. Where wood Is to
be burned in a stove or furnace in
tended for coal, it will be found de-
sirable to cover the crate partly with
sheet iron or fire brick, in order to
reduce the draught. If this is not
done the wood is wasted by being
consumed too fast, and makes a very
hot fire which in a furnace may dam
age the fire box.

Personal.

Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Flory and family
motored to Clearspring Sunday, October
2lst. The trip was made by way of
Waynesboro and Hagerstown, and they
finally landed in Clearspring in time to
participate in fine chicken and oyster
dinner which had been prepared by Mr..
and Mrs. Isaac Ankney. After the din
ner was properly disposed of the senior
members of the party went to Hancock
and other places of interest. The junior
members were taken Joy ride to Hag-
erstown. About 5. 80 the return trip was
started by way of Hagerstown, Braddock
and Frederick, arriving home about 8. 80.
The entire trip was made without a mis-
hap-no one killed or crippled and all en-
tact.

First German Prisoner.

A dispatch from the American ar
my in France states that the first
German prisoner of war taken by the
American expeditionary forces died
October 29th in an American field
hospital, having been shot when he
encountered an American patrol in
No Mans Land in front of the Amer
ican trenches. The prisoner was a
mail carrier, and letters of some value
were found on him. He explained
his presence near the American trench
by saying that he had lost his way in
the dark. He declared that German
soldiers did not know that Americans
were on the front or in France, the
officers telling them nothing.

How They Stand.

The Anti-Saloon League of Frederick
County, Maryland, under date of Octo-
ber l3, 1917. sent, by registered mail, the
following letter to each of the candidates
on the Democratic and Republican tick
cts;
"Dear Sir;-
"Being a candidate for the House of
Delegates, the Anti-Saloon League of
Frederick county wishes to know your
position in reference to future legisla
ton.
First: If elected to represent Fred
erick county in the Legislature of the
State of Maryland, will you vote to rat
ify National Constitutional Amendment
which will prohibit the manufacture and
sale of alcohol as beverage throughout
the United States?
"Second: Will you vote for the passage
of a Bone Dry bill, which would prohibit
the shipment of liquor into Frederick
County after May l, l9lS-the date on
which the county becomes dry by vote
of the people?
please reply in writing by October 20.
If we should not receive reply from you
by this date, we will conclude that you
do not favor such legislation.
Favorable letters were received from
E. S. Delaploine, Charles M. Kline, G.
E. Palmer, Millard F. Rice and F. l..
Spitzer. To these the League gives it's
unqualified endorsement.
Sherman P. Bowers answered in writ
ing that he favorable to both propositions
if convinced that majority of the citi-
zens of the county desire such legisla-
ton.
Verbal answers, favorable to both
propositions were received from X. Bruce
Murdock and Solomon Stern, and no re-
ply was received from Allen C. Compton
and George F. Stottlemyer.

Nation Needs Girls.

Now that Uncle Sam has the young
men of the country in training for
military service he finds that he
needs 10000 typewriter operators
and stenographcrs and typewriters,
both men and women, for the De-
partments at Washington. The Civil
Service Commission has notified all
of its 5000 boards of examiners that
they should put forth their best
efforts to secure these urgently-need-
ed workers.
While examinations are now held
weekly in $50 cities, the Commission
states that arrangements will be made
to have an examination held at any
accessible place where a small class Of
applicants can be secured. The en-
trance salaries range from 81 900 to
81 200 a year.

LIQUOR Sales Fall Off.

While no accurate check can be
made, the report is general over Bal
timore that the sale of liquors has
fallen off considerably. The Internal
Revenue Office is in no position to
guage this change in the trade, but
the retailers themselves report a de-
cided slump in their sales.
This applies as we'll to beer as to
whisky. A double reason exists for
it. The chief one is the advance in
prices, caused by the war tax on
whisky and also rise on the barrel
by the breweries.

with pith as a wick. They certainly
looked beautiful out in the middle of the
river, just procession of bobbing red
liphts. This lasted several hours and
helped US forget that we were waiting
for very uncertain boat.
Exactly at midnight the boat came.
The next thing to do was to make sure
that all our baggage got on and for one
hour stood in the sweltering baggage
room while the coolies carried in piece
after piece. Finally my goods appeared
and seemed as the return of long lost
friend. We crawled into bed at g. 30 A.
M. and did not rise until the second call
for breakfast. The captain says we can
not reach Hankow till ten tonight, per-
haps later.
Yesterday while waiting on the Bund
we were much annoyed by the many
boatmen asking for "tea money! We
told some coolies we passed on our mount
ain descent that the reason we walked
was because we couldn't afford to pay
them "tea money!, and the coolies, who
know how they invariably fuss for more
even when paid double the right price,
laughed delightedly and called US for
eigners of much ability" This morning
we came out late for breakfast and found
two vacant places, one at the end OF the
table and the captains chair. The stew
ard at once came up to me and ushered
me in the captains chair. OF course
every one, but myself, thought it was q
good joke. Later the steward found a
place for Bertha next to me. He also
informed me he knew me. that | was
from Nanking and had gone up river
once before this season, so now he is
taking special care of me.
Saturday 2 P. M.-Our boat reached
Hankow at II last night and to our sur
prise there was the "Shasi" waiting for
US. Her captain had been taken sick,
sent to the hospital, and another put on
board. We left at o'clock this morn
ing. Now we haye fourteen in our crowd
and are having happy time. So glad
we're nearing our journeys end.
September lst-Reached Yochow at
eleven Saturday night. All is 0. X. Will
send another letter same mail as this.
Write and write often.
Affectionately.

Piers and Vessel Burned.

Piers Nos. 3 and 9 of the B. & o. rail-
road at Locust Point, Baltimore, were
burned Tuesday night 1t is stated that
the fire broke out at five places almost
at the same time. A British steamer
lying along the pier was burned. The
indications are that the fire was of in
cendiary origin. Great quantities of
wood pulp, used in the manufacture of
munitions, which were stored on Pier 8,
fell prey to flames, while Pier 9, upon
which it is was said that much explosives
was stored, suffered greatly.
