THE SHIP OF STATE

Thou, too, sail on, o ship of State!
Sail on, o Union, strong and great!
Humanity with all it's fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate!
We know what master laid thy keel,
What workman wrought thy ribs Of
stel,
Who made each mast, and sail, and
rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers
beat,
In what a forge and what a heat
Were shaped the anchors of thy hope!
Fear not each sudden sound and
shock,
IT'S of the wave and not the rock;
And not q rent made by the gale!
IT'S but the Tapping of the sail.
In spite of false lights on the shore,
In spite of rock and tempest roar
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea!
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with
thee
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers,
our tears,
Our faith triumphant DER our fears,
Are all with thee-are all with thee!

TRY CHEAPER COAL

The ring Of coal chute is daily
heard as householder after house
holder. fills his bin with high-priced
nuggets Of carbon.
In this connection the writer may
inject word of some little value by
urging that people do not frantically
push up the price of hard coal by
heavy demands at this time The
forced experience Of our people last
winter with soft coal in heating fur
naCes has preIispOsed many to it's
use in the future and anyone with
basement furnace is foolish to buy
hard coal at present prices. Inquiry
at the ROyce-Holstein Co.'S. Coal
yard developed the fact that anthra-
cite nut coal is quoted at $40 ton
with none in sight. Illinois wash
nut" is quoted at $3.50 per ton in
small lots and $3.50 in quantities of
several tons.
Wash nut is a rather hard coal
about half way between ''soft" coal
and hard" and can be readily burn
ed in a furnace if care is taken to
keep the gases burning at the top.
Hot hard coal can be blanketed with
fresh coal with safety. Not so with
soft coal. The volatile gases rise in
the f1ue and after wasting away for
some time suddenly explode, blow
ing SCOT out of the chimney and often
blowing the furnace door open, let
ting cloud of gas into the basement.
Firing a furnace by blanketing is a
very wasteful way even with hard
produce given amount of heat when
fired right" that it does when fired
wrong"
The gases escaping after coal is
fresh piled in furnace in the case of
wash nut" are richer in carbon than
the gas furnished by our local gas
company, and should be provided with
oxygen and burned This can be done
by opening the furnace door about
one inch in addition to the openings
usually found in furnace doors.
In firing, before putting in fresh
coal, one should heap the hot Goals in
the furnace up on one side making a
deep pit on the other side for the
fresh COAL This pit may be filled up
antil one-half the top or fire surface
is cold and one-half hot. If any more
than one-half is cold, kindling should
be laid on the cold portion to assist
in burning the first gases. AS the hot
side burns to ashes it forms the cold
pit for the next firing That is, the
next time coal is put in. By filling
alternate cold pits, as described, a
furnace needs attention only morning
and evening except in very cold
, weather.
This manner of firing will also pre-
vent gas explosions and waste and
will allow wash nut" at $3.50 a ton
to take the place in every way of the
| high priced anthracite.-in FIT. Atkin-

THE "HOME PAPER BIG FACTOR
IN OUR LIVES

THE way of the homo paper
comes over us unconsciously We
subscribe to it to crafty our curiosity
as to what is going on around us. Yet
from the time we begin to pick it up,
while still school children, to read, per-
haps, how we are among those who
haven't missed days attendance, on
until old age has dimmed our eyes,
we have taken it up each week and
have imbibed, without approaching
the fact, much more than the neighbor-
hood gossip which we thought was
practically all it brought to us. We
have, indeed, absorbed it's ideas on
many subjects. We have become ad-
vOcates of good roads and good schools
with it; of cleanliness in politics and
OF uprightness in business life, follow
