the interest in the Red Cross

sorry that this organization which

CUT OUT CROOKED STICKS
Use Of Dead Wood for Fuel Is Also
Applied to Seoundrels and

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 CRATES the
fallen logs still sound enough to be
converted into fire wood and to cut
down and utilize crooked trees obvi-
ously foredOomed to wOrthlessness rs

be allowed to stand.
This is good advice, and there is a
human moral in the crooked stick part
Of it, 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-

chances with scoundrels. 1t must cut

was evident that the lone car and its
small trailer could not carry all the
passengers. The soldiers held a lit

Before the war about half the men
thol crystals exported from Japan
were sent to Germany. Since the out
break of the war the United States
has become the largest purchaser Of
these crystals, followed in order by
Great Britain, France and British In
dia. The price has varied from 81 to
$3.50 a pound during the last nve
years, remaining most of the time near
the higher mark. Recent improve
ments in the process of manufacture
have kept the price within reasonable
limits in spite Of considerable In
