TO COAL USERS.

An appeal for the conservation of coal has been sent. through the press, to the citizens of New England by the Federal Coal Committee. Calling attention to the fact that coal is essential to the successful prosecution of the war; that every
 available pound can be put to good use; and that it Is the patriotic duty of every citizen to avoid waste and to consider how coal requirem ents out some salient features of present. day conditions.
 New England in particular Is con- fronted by very critical situation. Two-thirds of our coal supply nor
 mally comes by water. Many vessels engaged in carrying coal to New Eng
 land ports have. however, already
 been taken by the Government, and
 more will have to be surrendered for
 Government service as the war goes on. Our railroads are now burdened
 ~ not take care of the extra load thus thrown upon them. With these limi- tations upon our transportation facili- ties come the greatest demand for
 coal ever known in New England.
 Under these circumstances every New
 England coal user must help.
 How can this help be best expend-
 ed? The committee, in a special ap-
 peal to house wives, points out five ways asking all:
 a. Not to use coal for heating be- fore the first of November, or after the first of May, unless the house temperature is below 60 degrees
 b. To burn wood wherever possi-
 ble.
 is necessary to keep certain parts of
 the house at special temperature
 d. Te reduce the coal used in the stoves. Do your cooking at one part of the day. Use wood whenever you can.
 e. To be economical with gas; and with electricity where it is generated by coal-usng plants. Turn off house lights when not needed, if only for a few moments.
 So much for what can be done in | the home. The Committee then ! directs its attention to those who con- | trol office buildings, hotels and apart 1 ment houses, asking them, along with
 the foregoing requests, Ito bank fires 1 at all possible times, and when build
 ing is to be only partially used to 1 turn off heat wherever feasible. 1 Business buildings not used after six
 o'clock in the evening should have
 fires banked at four o'clock'' These suggestions are to the point l The times call for more than usua, skill and care in putting coal into l stoves and furnaces. The time has come when the appetite of the stove ] must be curbed. Feed sparingly. In 1 the near future this coal committee 1 will send out instructions which vii 1 help the public get the most heat out l of coal.

The Windham Hills

The following poem by President
Sykes of the Connecticut College will
be Of interest to all lovers of Windham
county:
Where Is the "land OF hearts desire?"
Where summer clouds In beauty ride
Ger sapphire lakes that touch with
fire
The bosom Of each valley wide;
The fragrance as of fairy realms,
The magic music of the rills,
The splendor of the aisled elms,
The dark blue coronet of hills?
oh, come where Hampton's homes Of
white
Stand in their checkered shade serene,
Where beauty dwels on Putnam's
Height,
And dwells in Thompson's village
green;
Drink deep of Natchaug's winding
stream,
The wandering paths of VOLTS Den
take,
Pace Pomfret vale, and add the CLEAN,
Through pillsred pines, on WOODSTOCK
Lake
Oh hills of fretted blue, guard well
Those cofumned homes, those heartns
of love,
That beauty there eternal owen
While summer cloudland smiles above.
IT'S there the eye with JOY taxes nie,
,ris there the breast with freedom ms,
Iris there the Gland of hearts desirei

The Tale of Kaiser Bill

William HohenzolIern, gentlemen of
fame,
Thought, just little while ago, he'd
like to change his name.
X aiser of Germany wasn't enough, he
wanted more power still,
Monarch of the Universe sounded good
TO Kaiser Bill.
Twenty years of preparing with "Ber-
tina Kruppsn and such,
Then any other nation in this sphere
couldn't touch
The one that had the practice, NUM-
tions, and the drill,
"Now watch me get hat title, 'ehuek-
led Prnssian Kaiser Bill.
Then France stood up and took notice,
Russia followed her lead,
England starts getting busy, and Italy
put on speed.
"Better late than never,n they ex-
claimed with hearty will,
And all began to get ready for the ter
Tible Kaiser Bill.
Then following out some scheme OF
his, Bill blew up L. ;. boats
Which caused his mail to consist, you
see, of many L. S. notes.
His apologies were of no avail, it was
MT long until
Another nation entered the war
against poor Kaiser Bill.
His drives have lost their force now
now ships he sinks are few,
He makes his exit from the stage, he
must have caught the cue.
OF fighting hard and battling he seems
to have his I'll,
$50, good bye, beloved, title," signs
forlorn Kaiser Bill.
