CUT FlREWO0D TO
IMPROVE WOOD LOT
Trees to Leave In the Farm-Timber
Tract and Those to Remove
For Fuel.


Washington, D. c.. October 1S-In
cutting firewood for this winters
emergency fuel supply the operation
should be undertaken with the double
purpose of furnishing heat and inn
proving the farm wood lot at the same
time. The United States Department
of Agriculture has issued brief
statement which tells what trees to
leave and what to cut,
1t recommends that the trees be
marked for cutting now while the
leaves are on them, even if other farm
work prevents the actual telling until
later, because it is easier to tell the
digerent kinds by the foliage than by
the bark. But the cutting should be
done as soon as possible if the fire
wood is to be used this winter, so
there will be some time for the wood
to season.
In the New England and Middle At
lantic States the following kinds
should be left standing to furnish
lumber, except in the case of individ-
ual trees that are crooked, knotty,
diseased, or defective: White pine,
red spruce, balsam, chestnut, white
oak, red oak, hard maple. yellow
birch, tulip poplar, white ash, hick-
DRY and Eastwood.
Trees of Less Value
The trees of less value for lumber,
or slow growing, and which should be
cut are: melock, arbor vitae, black
oak, scarlet oak, red maple, beech,
gum, elm, gray birch, and ironwood.
In Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, and south
east Missouri save: Yellow poplar,
black walnut, red gum, white oak, red
oak, cottonwood, hickory, white ash,
hard maple, and Eastwood.
In these States the trees to be cut
from the farm wood lot for tirewood
are black oak, red elm, beech, and red
maple.
In the northern parts of Michigan,
Wisconsin, and Minnesota the trees to
be saved for lumber are: White pine
red pine, aspen, yellow birch. bass
wood, red oak, white ASH and hard
maple.
Farmers in the southern section of
these States may well Gull out for fire
wood, and thus improve the value of
their timber stands, the following
trees: Jack pine, hemlock, scarlet
oak, black oak, elm, and beech.
In the southern portions of these
lake States - Michigan, Wisconsin,
and Minnesota - farmers would do
we'll to save: White oak, red oak,
white ash, Eastwood, hickory and
hard maple.
The trees that may be removed for
fuel in the, southern farming section
of these States are: Black oak, red
elm, and beech.

HERO OF SERGY ONCE 4 CLERK
IN LAW OFFICE

New York-James Hyland of l21
Fort Greene place, Brooklyn. whose
exploit in holding Sergy with only
one other survivor of an entire pla-
toon has been related in dispatches,
is a sergeant in the One Hundred and
SiXty-fifth infantry and had been rec
commended for an officers training
school several weeks before the Sergy
episode. He is % years old.
Frederick w. Brooks, Jr., of Brooks
e. Brooks, lawyers, ~ Broad street,
where Hyland was clerk until called
into service, recalled the plain spoken
boy in knickerbockers who had APP
piled for a job in September, 1910. He
told Mr.. Brooks that he had spent six
months in one job and two weeks in
another.
Well, if you have had two posi-
lions and are II years old, as you tell
me, why don't you wear long trou-
sers?' l asked him. His answer was
what decided me
"I never knew that long pants
made the man. he replied quickly"
In May, 1916, Hyland enlisted in the
SiXty-ninth regiment. He went to the
border and became company clerk and
corporal. He was promoted to ser
geant after the Rainbow division had
been organized.
A movement has been started in
Brooklyn to have Hyland sent back
as Liberty loan speaker next month

struggle.

Struggle.
Secretary Franklin K. Lane,
through the Bureau of Education, has
put in operation a practical plan for
the mobilization of the school children
of the country for garden work. The
responsibility for bringing this oppor-
tunity within reach of the children
rests very largely upon the women.
| The General Federation of Women
Clubs, through its Department of the
Conservation of National Resources,
is urging its membership of two mil
lion women to aid in the work for
school gardens. The citizens of a
community who do not make 1t pos
sible for the school superintendent
principals and teachers to conduct
school gardens, according to the plan
of the United States School Garden
Army, are not awake to their full
duty. Collective support and individ-
ual service must be given and public
iitSi OoI aiOuSSu' we HuSl NlSlOn the
possibilities and keep in mind that
the aim of the United States School
Garden Army is to nationalize, unity
and to greatly extend the work now
being carried on by the school chill
dren of America.
at is one of the anomalies of life
that good often comes out of evil. AS
this war is the most destructive in all
history, so are the potentialities for
good beyond estimation. This oppor-
tunity for garden work by the school
children of the country is three-fold.
The material help in the production of
food, the sense that it will give each
child that he is doing his part in win
ming the war and, of greater impor-
| lance than either of these, is the
benefit to the schil from an educa-
tional viewpoint. The opportunity is
so full of possibilities that unless we
utilize it othe full the gardens will
fall short in the highest sense, not
withstanding satisfactory patriotic
and economic results.
''ln the garden the mysteries of ma
ture are unfolded. Under sympathetic
guidance the child's imagination is
stimulated and his powers of observa-
ton are developed. Trees, flowers,
waving grain field, bird, mountain and
valley will come in time to have their
full meaning to the boys and girls
who are taught to see natures les
sons in their first garden.
Now is the time to plan for next
summers work. If the fathers and
mothers do their part the children
will do theirs, and the little citizens
of tomorrow will be better equipped
than ever before the responsibilities
of life, and will be glad and happy in
their ability to give immediate serv-

EAYESDROPPERS IN LINE
WARNED

Willow, Cal.-The displeasure of
the Glenn County Council. of Defense
has been incurred by "listeners-in"
on party telephone lines in the coun-
try districts of the county. As a re-
suit Superior Judge William Finch,
chairman of the council, has had let
tiers sent to all subscribers on the
telephone lines. This letter states
that the system of fire control in the
grain districts has been hampered by
the prevailing custom of eavesdrop-
ping on the telephone lines, this pre-
venting the rapid sounding of alarms
in time of fire in the grain districts.
The letter recites that those 'listen-
ing in" are subject to a severe pun
ishment, and that the practice must
be stopped or prosecutions will fol-
low.

SCIENCE HUNTS COAL SOURCES

Philadelphia, Pa.-As coal experts
predict that anthracite coal is going
to be scarce this winter, all of the
inventive genius in the anthracite in

prospect OF this number being still
further depleted by the July draft,

GRADUATE OF VILLA DE CHANTAL HERE
ON VISIT IN ROCK ISLAND EXPECTS TO
SOON SERVE UNITED STATES IN FRANCE

Miss Mary Wall. of the class of 1907.
Villa de Chantal of Rock Island, and
one of the first group of pupils to ar
rive in Rock Island from the Mays
vile. KY, home of the Sisters of the
Visitation, probably will be the first
Villa graduate to serve the United
States in France. She spent a week
during the holidays with the sisters on
a farewell visit, expecting now to be
called to Europe at any moment.
Since her graduation from the Villa,
Miss Wall finished course as nurse
in st. Joseph's hospital, Chicago, and
recently was enrolled in a hospital
unit in that city, which is held now for
immediate service. Miss Wall is we'll
known by Villa friends in the tri-
cities, attending the school when it
was first located on Fifth avenue.
graduating later when it was moved to
the handsome school grounds.
Miss Jean Murphy, 1915 Twenty
third street, one of the class of 1916,
is another Villa graduate who is ac-
lively engaged in war work, having
taken UP duties in Washington, D. c.,
for which her business studies at the
Villa ably fitted her.
Alumnae Of the Villa de Chantal,
ever thoughtful of the needs of their
alma mater and constantly alert to
show their gratitude to the school in
remembrance of practical nature,
have recently made present of kitch-
en- equipment valued at $500. r The
new additions to the kitchen-one of
the most carefully designed and eco
nomic in this section of the state-in-
clude an electrically operated dish
washer, vegetable peeler and a huge
coffee urn.
With 125 daily at noon lunch and
over half that number always served
from the Villa kitchen. the dish-wash-
Ing problem presented a huge task
three times a day with especially
heavy labors at the luncheon period.
The electric washer does the work in
Rock Island Argus., 1918-01-11

half an hour as against the work Of
oftentimes three hours in the after
noon. 1t requires the attention of but
one operator. Removable trays, with
revolving sprays above, do the work
easily and quickly.
The vegetable peeler has a capacity
Of half bushed Of potatoes at time,
pairing them In two minutes, without
any waste Of the vegetable itself,
cleaning them and leaving them ready
for the range. 1t is concrete lined,
the revolution of the tumbler, electric
ally operated, brushing the vegetables
against the rough concrete, wearing on
the skin, while q water spray thor
oughly cleans the contents.
The coffee urn and its accompany
ing copper tray were welcome addi-
tions to the Villa kitchen. The urn
has a capacity of 10 gallons of cof-
fee-and not a ground. Heretofore
waste of cream and sugar in coffee
unpalatable, because of the grounds,
had added to the sisters problem in
their plans for food conservation and
in their constant fight against waste,
but the new urn provides groundless
coffee-and not lump Of sugar or
drop Of cream goes to waste because
of sediment deposited in the cups.
In the Villa kitchen, immaculate in
its cleanliness and perfect in its ar
rangements, Mr.. Hoover's pleas for
food conservation are being practical
lt demonstrated in a manner that
lends strength to the food saving
posters that adorn the class-rooms.
Before the young ladies of the school
were urged to practice economy at the
table and before the sisters them
selves enlisted in the food campaign
the refuse from the table was suffici-
ent to provide ample food for the
poultry yard. Now the purchase OF
chicken feed has become an added ac-
count to the expense of the school, but
one cheerfully assumed by the sisters

Employers in Rock Island are not
irving c. R. Manning! local income
tax inspector. the proper support in
making his estimate for this city. He
cannot understand the apparent
apathy
Some days ago Mr.. Manning made a
request that all employers who have
persons in their employ likely to make
returns, that is, single persons with
salaries of 81 1000 or more per year
and married persons with salaries Of
more than $1,000, give their names
TO Mr.. Manning as quickly as possible
so that he can make an estimate OF
the number likely to make returns in
Rock Island Thus far only 16 en-
Movers have responded This applies
TO employers OF few as well as en-
ployes of many. In most cases it will
take only few minutes Of the en-
Movers time to list these employees
and phone their names to the local
revenue office in the postoftice build
ing.
To further this plan Mr. Manning
will send out printed notices in few
days to all employers, with the re-
quest that the notices be enclosed in
all pay envelopes of those employees
likely to be affected by the law. The
notice follows:

Farmers Instructed.

Nearly all Of the farmers will be
affected by the income tax law. Farm
ers are instructed, in figuring their
net earning for the year, in cases of
livestock, to take the purchase and
sale price to determine the net profit.
Feed can only be deducted when it is
purchased off the farm. All proceeds
OF grain sold are profit, as Is the case
with butter, eggs and produce. The
expense of operation of the farm is
to be deducted also before the net in
come Is determined.
