arrived off port. According TO some
OF the passengers. the submarine was
again sighted Sunday. eighteen miles

FARMS USE MUCH FIREW00D
Amount Consumed in Rural Districts
of Country Worth $225, 100000 a
Year, Says Uncle Sam.

According to the United States de-
partment of agriculture the firewOOd
used on the farms OF the United States
is worth $225, 100000 a year. In some
places like Virginia and Tennessee, the
farmers use upon an average 10 cords
from first of the year to the last. But
in Nebraska, the average is only two
cords annually. There is plenty of
wood in Pennsylvania, but coal is
cheaper for the farmer.
In West Virginia the wOodlots are
saved because so many farms are sup
piled with natural gas. Yet firewoOd
is the standby, it is declared, and
there is no present sign that the grand
day of emancipation will come around
when not an American boy has to
split wood, dig it out from under snow
drifts, or fill his hands with splinters
in ''toting" the stuff into the kitchen.

FOR THOSE WHO WALK
Uncle Sans Experts Tell How TO
Save Shoes.
Suggestions Made With View to Pre-
venting Waste in Leather Which
Is Needed in War.

War demands leather-leather for
soldiers shoes, leather for harness,
leather for equipment of many kinds.
In this country there is no such sur
plus that any of the supply can well
be wasted, and, it is pointed out, 1t is
wasting leather not to care for and
preserve it properly.
For the benefit of those who walk,
which includes almost everyone, ex-
perts connected with Uncle Sans
leather and paper laboratory have
made the following suggestions as to
caring for shoes and other leather ar
ticles so that they will last longer:
"ShOes should be oiled or creased
whenever the leather begins to get
hard or dry. They should be brushed
thoroughly and then all the dirt and
mud that remains washed off with
warm water, the excess water being
taken off with dry cloth. While the
shoes are still wet and warm apply the
oil or grease with Swab of wool or
flannel. 1t Is best to have the oil or
grease about as warm as the hand
can bear and it should be rubbed well
into the leather, preferably with the
palm. If necessary, the oil can be ap-
piled to dry leather, but it penetrates
better when the latter is wet. After
treatment the shoes should be left 10
dry in u place that is warm-nOt hot.
Castor oil is satisfactory for shoes
that are to be polished; for palmer
foOtgear neatsfOOt, fish oil or Oleine
may be substituted. II it is desired to
make the shoes and boots more water
proof, beef tallow may be added TO
any OF these substances at the rate of
half. II pound OF tallow to pint of oil.
The edge of the sole and the welt
should be creased thoroughly. Too
much grease cannot be applied to
these parts.
"A simple method of making the
sOleS more durable, piiable and water
resistant is to sWab them occasionally
with linseed oil, setting them aside to
dry over night.
MANY of the common shoe pol
iShes are harmful TO leather. All those
which contain sulphuric, hydrOchlOric,
or Oxalic acids, turpentine. benzine,
or other volatile solvents, have ten
dency to harden the leather and make
it more liable to crack.
ut is poor economy, too, to wear
shoe with the heel badly worn on one
side. This throws the shoe out Of
shape and may soon result In it's ruin.
1t Is also likely to cause temporary in-
jury to the foot.
Harness leather. like shoes, cannot
be neglected without injury that les
sens its durability. 1t should be washed
and oiled frequently. The washing
should be done in tepid water, with
neutral soap and a sponge or stiff
brush. After rinsing in clean tepid
water, the harness is hung up to drain
little while before Oiling.
For driving harness neatSfOOt or cas-
tor Oil is best, but for heavy harness
there may be some tallow in the oil.
The applications should be light for
driving and liberal for heavy harness.
The oil, warm to the hand, is rubbed
thoroughly into the leather while it is
still wet from the washing Excess
Oil which the leather is unable to take
up should be removed with clean,
dry CLOTH

Twas a Horse on Him.
