NOT A FAIR COMPARISON.

Mr.. McAdoo thinks that if railroad
operation by the government shall prove
satisfactory during the remainder of the
war, the people will not consent to return
to private management Possibly he is
right, but there are lot of people who
will not overlook the fact that COM
parison between the private management
of 1917 and the government management
of later months is not fair one. Pri-
vate management was hampered by the
government in many ways, particularly
in priority shipment orders, limitation
upon coordination, etc. Government
management for a short time during an
emergency might be satisfactory by COM
parison and yet not demonstrate the
superiority of government operation. The
improved conditions might be due to re-
lief from hampering restrictions and not
to superior management

The Value of Wood for Fuel.

Wood should be sold by weight and
not by measure. In a general way the
price of firewood depends upon the amount
of heat it gives off in burning. The
general classification into hard and soft
wood and the differences in price be-
tween birch and the better hard woods
are based on this. But the prices are
only very rough approximation to real
value Wood is composed of woody fiber
with small amount of ash. The bark
of wood has much higher ash content
The woody fiber that makes up the bulk
of wood has approximately the same fuel
value in different kinds of wood. A
hound of white birch wood will when
burned give off as much heat as pound
of hickory or beech. A pound of soft
maple gives off as much heat as pound
of rock maple But cord of air dry
white birch weighs $500 pounds and a
cord of hickory weighs $500 pounds. A
and a cord of rock maple weighs 1000
pounds Obviously the amount of water
there is in wood greatly affectsits weight.
Green wood is twice as heavy as dry
wood" and the length of time the wood
has been cut and the way it has been
stored affects it's water content greatly.
We'll cured, air dried wood will carry
from 20 to 25 per cent of water. Wood
that has been cut months will have lost
two-thirds of it's water, but will still have
about 80 per cent If the fuel value OF
"dry wood" be assumed as 100, that for
wood cut 9 months will be 95 6 months
80, months IS and green wood will have
fuel value of IS.
Wood is practically always sold by
measure and coal is practically always
sold by weight And yet cubic foot of
coal is far more uniform than cubic foot
of wood. Coal packs about the same
while wood as piled varies greatly. Dry
wood is about as even in its water con-
tent as coal is We are right in selling
coal by weight but wood should also be
sold by weight. A cord of pine, fir bal
sam or hemlock weighs when air dry
about 1900 pounds, and is worth about
half as much for fuel as cord of air dry
rock maple. Sold by weight at 20 cents
per 100 pounds the cord of pine would be
worth S4.4O and the cord of maple $500.
Many complaints of short measure and
inferior quality of wood have been re-
ceived by the State Fuel Wood Commit
tee. Some of these are serious frauds
Few of them could have occurred if wood
were sold by weight instead of measure.
The differences in water content of wood
that has been cut months are slight
compared to the differences in volume
due to the way wood is piled. Just as
the Food Administration has found it ex-
pedient to insist that all food materials
shall be sold by weight and not by meas
ure, the Fuel Administration may insist
upon wood being sold by weight.

Food Administrator for Maine.

THE AFTERCLAP.

A South Madison correspondent writes:
Farmers hereabout are anxious to
know how it is that they are asked to do
their utmost to produce food with no
thought of profit, while every man he
does business with, either buying or SELL
ing, makes a profit and war profit at
that. We are calling for economy in the
distribution of goods and along that line
the consolidating of our six or eight
grocery stores into one, with the enor-
mously lessened cost of service-why
not? The help not needed there is need
ed in many productive labors, the farms
for instance"
When the war is over many such ques-
lions must be answered and answered
right. This year we must raise food or
60 hungry, and if profiteers insist on
taking advantage of times and condition
to fatten their bank accounts, they are
going to be remembered when the after
war settlement comes. Dealers may ex-
act from Is to $50 percent profit now
but they are not laying up treasures in
heaven, by any means.-kennebec jour-

Owing to the acute fuel situation,

matter Of fuel, according to Dr.. G.
M. Palmer, president Of the Beltrami

and Charles s. Carter, county di-.
rector.
This admonition is contained in a
statement to the public which should

Conservation of existing food
supplies and preparation for an in
creased production and the use Of
wood for fuel for ourselves and the
getting out vast quantities for west
tern Minnesota and North Dakota, are
the two big moves Beltrami county
can make on the chessboard Of as
sisting in the war. s ss,s 5s5ss
.'Conservation Of food should be
observed. as requested by the food,
administration and any establish
ment or person who willfully violates
such request should receive from the
public. the same consideration as is
shown slackers and persons of sedi-
tious utterances. They should be
spotted and reported to this COM
mission. !. HI Z .
Huge Coal Shortage.
''The administration is today fifty
million tons of coal short. Supplies
for our boys in France are piled tens

on our docks awaiting bunker ~coa4
before shipme ent across the ocean.
The fuel situation is such as to
warrant us in making the statement
that In our Judgment the. tfmbered
area Of. Northern Minnesota will be
put on strictly wood d-for-fuel basis
and the people should begin to pre-
pare for such an eventuality and by
such preparation escape any hard
ship or suffering from fuel scarcity

This showing was ascribed to the
increased volume Of business to-

by-products, especially hides, oils and
greases. Notwithstanding that live
cattle have cost very much more than
ever before and that labor and all
supplies have been very much higher,
