These are the two chief appeals in
the campaign now being launched by
the United States Fuel Administration
to bring about considerable use OF
wood to replace coal in states where
domestic fuel is scarce. OF course, If
you cut wood you do not have to buy
coal and If you have wood piled up you
will not worry over coal shortage,
such as is possible through the "hu"
having cut down the production of an
thraclte coal.
New England. in particular, has
much wood available within easy reach
of large centers Of population The
"Cut-a Cord" Club of Belmont, six
miles from Boston. was one of many
similar organizations which proved We
blcles for wholesome days OF outdoor
sport and happy social evenings.
The Forestry service will cooperate
with the Fuel Administration, through
state administrators, this winter In To-
eating available supplies Of standing
timber and seeing that trees more val
liable for other purposes Will not De
felled FOR hrewood.

Here are some woodmen's proverbs

A cord of hardwood has a fuel value
equal to two-thirds of a ton Of hard
coal.
Stumps should be cut as low as pos
sible to avoid waste and save future
trouble.
All wood large enough to be made
into stove wood should be used. Split
wood small enough so that one man
can load it on a wagon.
Pine should be split smaller than
hardwood so that it may dry out quick
ly. Hardwood burns fairly well even
when green.
In cutting original growth forests,
utilize old trees which are not fit for
lumber.
Cut small trees Of the poorer species.
Cut all dead, diseased, dead-topped,
and otherwise inferior material.
The wood lot will be the better for
the removal Of old trees which have
stopped making growth, and of Scared

Leave trees that are more valuable
for lumber, ties, or other salable prod
ucts than they are for cordwood.

TUBERCULOSIS FIGHTERS
JOIN WITH RED CROSS

Fifteen hundred anti-tuberculosis
associations In every state in the On
ion have set aside their ordinary work
and are giving their time and atten-
ton during the next month to the Red
Cross Christmas Roll Call, according
to an announcement from the head
quarters of the National tuberculosis
Association.
Instead Of the usual sale Of RED
Cross Seals which has been conducted
for the last ten years Jointly by the
National tuberculosis Association and
the American Red Cross, this coming
year the tuberculosis movement will
be supported by a direct appropriation
of $2.500,000 from the Red Cross, and
in turn all of the machinery of the tu-
~berculosis campaign will be turned
into helping swell the membership Of
the American Red Cross In an effort
to enroll every man and woman in the
country.
In every state there is q well organ
lied state organization, and under 1t
there are strong local branches. These
trained workers will cooperate with
the Red Cross chapters in their CON-
munity and will endeavor to organize
their districts so that no N can e.
cape solicitation. Universal member
ship in the Red Cross will be the aim.
