deposits of Ignite are worthy OF
more extensive development and utlll-
cation and in times like these, when
the price of other fuel is very high
and when there is danger Of a short
age of, eastern coal, it would seem
that in many parts Of the state llg..
mite could be used to advantage and
with economy. Although Ignite Goa
tends to slack, small supplies a be
stored without loss, in cellars, under
ground root pits and in other places
protected from the III and wind and
weather.
"What is needed is an early distrl-
button of at least a portion of the
fuel required so as to avoid any con-
gestion at the time Of crop ship,
ment and when large quantities OF
fuel will soon be required. 1t is not
necessary to lay in the whole winters
supply in advance, but if every con-
sumner will make thoughtful provision
ahead for a portion of his fuel needs
and aim to have a fair supply on
hand, the distribution should be grad
ually met without suffering or the
danger of any fuel panic. But this
can be done only by general and in
dividual cooperation. TO this end, as
a means of personal protection and
public service, every one should give
this matter of fuel supply earnest
and early consideration"

WHISKY.

In the discussion Of the elimination
of spurious beverages from taxable
articles the one great objection is
found in the loss of $15O,000,OO0 of in
ternal revenue. It is a question, how
ever, whether this will be a loss or a
gain. This is determined by the cost
to society of its criminal and INDECENT
dependents made so by whiskyadrink-
ing. ~"
The issue must not be befogged by
the statement that elimination of
spurious beverages means a total loss
of revenue of $450,000,000 Even this
revenue does, not compensate the
people for the cost of regulation of
the liquor traffic and the care of its
victims. The fact is, the total cost
to the people, direct and indirect, is
greater than the total income. In
other words, the liquor traffic does
not pay for itself and never will.
Far better will it be, financially as
we'll as morally, for the people to pay
$3.50 per capita more taxes than tc
bear the expense the liquor traffic
imposes on them. Elimination OF
whisky from taxation may change the
nations economic plan, but the
change may pay for itself in more
ways than one.

REAL SACRIFICE.

The national convention of design
ers has decided that mems spring suits
for 1918 shall be without belts, cuffs
and pockets. The elimination of belts
may be protested by youths between
Is and % and old boys of IS to 70.
The loss of cuffs will be regretted by
a few dudes, Notwithstanding they
catch dust in the summer and snow
in the winter. But the abrogation of
pockets will cause real sacrifice to
every man-for what can he do with
out them? -
In every tailor-made suit there are
at least Is pockets-five in the coat,
five in the vest, and five in the
trousers. For each and every pocket
every man has a special use. Every
one is a necessity else they would not
be made. To do without n would
seriously disarrange mans whole
routine Of daily life. Should all be
denied him, life would not be worth
living. A man would rather shuttle
off this mortal coil than trot around
the streets carrying a handbag. :
Men may be addicted to style to a
certain extent, but they never will
yield to the dictates of this designers
convention ever to win the war. They
will have pockets if they have to
pay extra for them, or sew them on
themselves. A suit without pockets
the fellow who suggested the idea
would be railroaded into an insane
asylum in two minutes if he was dis
covered by pocketless men.

THE FUEL

The necessity that every family
give proper attention to the matter
of it's fuel supply is urged in the fol-
lowing communication from Dean E.
]. Babcock, chairman of the Com
mittee on Fuels, Mining and Engi-
neering of the State Council of De-
tense which we quote as follows:
"There is considerable danger that
there may be difficulty in obtaining
coal in the fall and winter when the
demand is extra heavy unless the
people of the state generally provide
IN advance for at least a portion of
their fuel needs.
GOOD and fuel are both of para
mount Importance to life and it is
necessary that each consumer observe
adequate precautions for proper and
timely provision for these supplies.
In most places and under ordinary
conditions, these necessities can be
furnished as the needs arise without
recurring unusual precautions. But
in these days the great struggle in
which the world is engaged has
brought about many unusual condi-
lions in economies, in demand, in sup
ply, and in distribution, all of which
require the most thoughtful and
thorough consideration of means for
eliminating waste, increasing supply
and aiding distribution, as well as
careful ]forethought in providing and
conserving such necessities of life as
food and fuel.
Gan adequate and general distribu-
ton of fuel, so timed as to meet the
requirements in every locality without
delay or shortage is always a prob
lem of large proportions, but this has
been rendered unusually difficult. at
the present time through a combina-
ton of causes and conditions which
do not ordinarily exist.

hand last spring in the cities and
towns of the northwest were unusu-

strain of a great crisis do they come
to their fullest capacity for life and

We shall come out OF the war a
poorer people, a more solemn people,
but a people that has learned in the
hardest school in the world the lessons
of dicipline, and of frugality, and
self-denial and thrift.
And a quarter or a half a century
from now, we shall look back and
say: "The war for universal free
