In this particular farm house of ours, we always. used to keep one coal fire going till the time of, the coal strike in Pennsylvania during Roose- vents, administration. That cut off cur coal supply almost without notice, ard had Q peculiarly nasty and un-- happy time in changing stoves and getting down extra. wood from the snow hurried forests of mid d-winter. Having been enforced to tie change, however. and having made it success fully, I looked up the mountain side at my sixty or more acres of woods ana asked myself why, in the name of common sense, should ever again put myself in the power; of any cornbina- ton of Pennsylvania greed and ig- porance? Why should, I get my own. fuel all Of it. out Of my. cwn. forests, and issue a personal declaration of in dependence from nj outside fuel tyrannies?- No sooner, thought of than dcne. From that dav to. this we've burned wood and wood only By using large knots in properly constructed chunk" stoves we havef no more trouble in keeping fires all night than we used to have with coaI-and much less trouble in quickening them to ade- quate warmth of a cold morning.
