Although the failure to receive let ters from men in the service is not pleasant to relatives and friends at l,orneF the adage no news is good news never was more true than at present. The report of every casualty at home or abroad is immediately wired or cabled to officials at Wash ington, being relayed from there with out loss of time to the emergency ad- It is also at once released for pubH- cation in the newspapers. No news. of casualties has or will be held up.
 No man in the service has received orders not to write home; he has been urged, on the contrary, to keep in touch with relatives and friends. The forces in France have at their disposal post cards giving general informa ton Tn regard to health and the receipt of dispatched without payment of post age: . Care is also taken to see that mail intended for soldiers and, sailors reaches them promptly.

interests would Nbe SuDSerFSd by. the change.
 It would be another step towards our complete independence Of busi . ness rings and outside grafting. It's better to stand on cur own good legs than to lean on >an. always doubtful Pennsylvania crutch. It would help to conserve waste, for there's hardly a patch of woods in all woodsy New England which isn't cumbered wits waste stuff. Trees blown over by high gales: trees dying of old age; trees jury; trees bravely struggling against some youthful injury, but hopelessly toredoomed to warped and worthless failure-all these are simple wastes i; unless taken for fuel.
 And the time to take them is Now Now when so doing means saving of money for your Cwn pocket; saving it for your heirs sby actually improving the condition of your woods: helping out scores of essential industries which must use coal or. shut down. helping in the munitioning and provisioning of the armies or freedom which are fight ing just as much for you, and for me as they are for anyone -..

AL so in the country. among non-farm- CTS, the task is not promising. There is a dead weight of something - l don't know whether to call it apathy or lethargy or simply laziness-w which has to be recokned with, especially among the very people whose strait ened circumstances needs might be eX pected to make theIp eager for every opportunity Of saving While I cut and burn from my own forests all the fuel we need. there is still very much left which might help out others-if they would. only use it. But they won't! For years I've had the Offer standing that any one. who was short of fuel could have all he needed rom my woods, without cost-if he'd only take dead or fallen trees. and come and get them. .-E -
 Not a one tiny twig has ever gone as a result of this offer.-
 This very reason I've offered good wood at fifty cents a cord, standing, to any one who needed it in ten cord lots or less, if he would come and get it. One man henlrned and hawed and finally pined that was afraid he ether f1atlX answered that it was too much trouble: and third unblush- ingly said that he'd surely be glad to get some-if I'd haul it for him for nothing after he'd cut it! =
 It reminds me of what happened in 8 New England city, several years ago when a panic had made the condition of many poor families truly depfora- = ble. A big creamery in that city, which had been in the daily habit of
