TO SUPPLY WOOD.
National Forests Are to Furnish Fue
Next Winter.

To meet any possible coal shortage il
the West next winter more extensive us,
of fuel wood from the national forests il
urged by the governments foresters, wht
are advising both ranchers and towr
jewellers to be forehanded in making ar
rangements for the supply of their fue
needs.
The supervisors of the l53 nationa
| forests will be instructed to afford all
possible facilities to local residents wish.
| ing to obtain cordwood, which settlers
may obtain free for their home use and
which is sold at low rates to persons cut
ting and hauling in order to sell to 9TH
ers. Since the material thus utilized Is
mainly dead timber, its removal, it il
explained, helps clear up the forest and
| thus lessons the fire menace. Timber
which is insect-infested or old and dete-
riorating, or otherwise damaged or unde-
sirable from the forester's standpoint, is
also disposed of for fuel purposes. The
demand in the next IL months is ex-
pected to break all records.
There is a possibility of coal short
age because of the increased demand for
coal by industrial plants and the lack of
sufficient means of transportation. 1t is
believed that it will be quite feasible and
economical for many western communi-
ties to utilize an increased quantity of
national forest wood for fuel next win
ter. When dead and down timber or
other timber which is deteriora ting is
not available for cordwood, the cutting
of mature living trees will be permitted
to the extent necessary to meet the de-
mand.
While wood as a fuel is less economi-
cal to handle than coal, it is in many
parts of the West cheaper, even at nor
NAL price levels. Stoves and furnaces,
however, equipped to burn coal usually
require different CRATES to permit OF the
substitution to advantage, and this is
pointed out as one reason why the
householder will do well to look ahead
and decide beforehand how he will keep
warm and what he will feed the kitchen
stove next winter.
Where saw-mills are operating in the
woods at points within hauling distance
of towns, there is a chance to obtain
slabs and other material that ordinarily
goes TO waste. Since green or wet wood
is both poorer fuel and heavier TO trans |
port and handle than dry, mill waste as
it comes from the saw is relatively unde |
sirable for immediate use. For this rea-
son, as well as in order to be sure of
supply, the government foresters suggest
that a good-sized woodpile in the back
yard or under cover before winter sets
in may be found a thrifty provision.
During the last fiscal year over 10000
permits for the free use of national for
est timber, mainly in the form of fuel
wood, were taken out by local residents.
The amount of timber involved approx
mated 100000 cords. Additional supplies
If cordwood were obtained from the for
ssts at a nominal price by others who
we're not entitled under the Ia TO the
rec use of timber.

NO LONGER
ALLOWED ON PLATFORMS
International Vows Service

International News Service:
WASHINGTON, May s. - Addi-
tional precautions were taken
against destruction of bridges today
when the war department issued or
ders to all department commanders
to instruct guardsmen on patrol
duty at railroad structures TO en-
force the regulations against passen-
gers riding on platforms Of trains.
It was explained that the chief
reason for the order was that plat
forms offer a vantage point from
which plotters or enemies might
drop bombs on structures. The rule
is to be put into effect by all rail-
roads using the bridges now under
guard. The order applies particu-
larly TO rear platforms Of ordinary
day coaches, but observation car
conductors have been instructed to
carefully scrutinize passengers with
a view TO preventing enemies from
bomb dropping.

U. S. WANTS CLERKS AS
WELL AS FIGHTING MEN

Uncle Sam wants many Office
clerks as well as fighting men. and
the demand is pressing, according
to a letter received Tuesday morn
ing by Corp. Bonshire of the local
recruiting office from Capt. Thomas
F. Ryan, in charge of the Fort
Wayne army recruiting district.
Following is the letter:
Applicants qualifying for clerks,
preferably having good knowledge
of stenography and typewriting. are
wanted for the quartermaster corps.
This means clerks. Do not send any
who are not. Men can be sent here
without special authority. Impress
upon applicants that this service is
non-combatant."
A great many men DESTROYS of en-
tering the service have had the
mistaken idea that they could enlist
only in the infantry. The long list
OF clerical and trade branches pub
lished Tuesday morning and even
ing in The News-Times brought a
large number of inquiries for fur

CITY COUNCIL INSISTS
ON CROSSING WATCHMAN

One of the longest meetings Of
the city council that has been held
in several weeks was that Of last
night. when representatives of the
Grand Trunk railroad, including
Atty. w. G. Crabill of South Bend,
attorney for the company at this di-
vision, appeared before the board
and requested that the ordinance
passed recently by the council re-
curing the Grand Trunk TO place a
Waterman at the Margaret st. cross
ing be modified to allow the com
pany to install an automatic bell
there instead Of a iagman. After
considerable discussion the question
was referred TO the committee Of
the whole, who recommended that
the request of the railroad company
be not granted and that the fiagman
be installed at the crossing as per
the ordinance.
The regular routine business was
transacted and the city treasurer's
report for the month of April re-

UNJUST STORY ABOUT
RECRUIT is RESENTED

A story has been going the rounds
the past few days that Gus Frick
who left here week ago today for
Fort Wayne with the army recruits,
had developed cold feet" after be-
ing sent on TO Fort Thomas from
Fort Wayne and had left the train
and returned to his home here with
out giving previous notice to the
officers or comrades Of his intention.
Several of Tricks acquaintances
have thoughtlessly used the story to
have fun with him, 20 his great en-
barrassment and humiliation. The
truth of the matter is that the
young man was rejected in Fort
Wayne because Of a slight physical
disability. which, he was told by the
examining physician, could be
remedied by the proper treatment
within a short time. 1t is an afflic-
ton Of the tonsils AS one man said:
Prick has shown his good inten-
tons. while those who have been so
quick TO circulate such a story
about him are the ones who will
have to be drafted into service"
