WHEN DOES IT PAY TO BURN
 WOOD INSTEAD OF COAL?

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, ac- cording to tests made by the U. S. Forest Service.
 For such woods as oak, mesquite or pitchy pine, one cord, weighing about 4,000 pounds, is required to equal one ton of coal.
 For cedar, aspen, or spruce, two cords, weighing about 2,0O0 pounds, per cord, are required to equal ton of coal.
 If, for instance, coal costs s10 and cedar can be had, cut up and ready for use, for s4.50 per cord, it would pay to burn cedar. On the other hand if cedar costs $5.50 it would not pay.
 In some cities, wood is sold by weight, cut up and ready to use. Where this is the case, comparison of fuel values is very simple. If coal cost $10 per ton it would pay to burn any kind of wood obtainable at less than s5 per ton.
 Resin affords about twice as much heat as wood, so that resinous woods have greater value per pound than non-resinous woods.
 The available heat value of wood depends on tbe amount of moisture present. Wien the wood is green, part of the keat is taken up in evap- orating the water.
 Cords vary as to the amount of solid wood they contain, even when they are of the standard dimensions and occupy 128 cubic feet of space. The air space may be considerable in cord of twisted, crooked, and knot ty sticks. A fair average of solid wood is about 80 cubic feet per cord. This, however, applied to the stand ard cord, in which the sticks are cut to four-foot lengths and piled feet high and feet long. Most people nowadays have the sticks cut into two- foot or one-foot lengths. The pur- chaser should take care to see that he gets full measurement when wood is bought in this way.
 Where wood is to be burned in a stove or furnace intended for coal, it will be found desirable, the foresters say, to cover the grate partly with sheet-iron or fire-brick, in order to reduce the draught, avoid too rapid consumption, and prevent damage to the firebox.

All men will not have to go to the
front, and the farmer is the one most
needed to stay on his farm, for it will
De absolutely necessary that every foot
of ground be cultivated. The greatest
necessity in war times is an ample food
supply to the army and for the civil
ian population. Without it any nation
would be brought to it's knees, and that
is condition which is unthinkable for
the American people. And not only
should farmers produce to the utmost.
Vacant lots and back yards in: every
town should yield their quota for the
common good. Every citizen should
feel it incumbent upon him to do his
share, and he should do it. When this
spirit animates an nation Of a hundred
million patriotic people it will require
something more than words and plots
to conquer it.

Spring

Spring is Nature s apology for Sum-
mer and winter.
Everyone including the man who
froze his face last January and the man
who suffered a heat prostration last
August, is supposed to be happy in
Spring.
Spring is the time Of year when radi-
ators, tea kettles and prima donnas quit
singing and the birds begin.
Spring is everywhere, in Spring. In
the step, the eye, the atmosphere every
where.

In connection with the war problem

In connection with the war problem
that is facing this country it should be
a matter of pride to all Of us to note
how earnestly all classes Of citizens are
viewing the subject Of home protection
A few weeks ago it was a common
thing to stand on the street corner and
hear this or that man criticise the
government for weakness in its foreign
affairs, but that is now a thing Of the
past All are standing back of the
president, as they should, which makes
Us think that, after all, we shall make
a creditable showing should we be
drawn into the conflict, even though
we are supposed not to be prepared.
