Civilians Should Help.

If soldiers are willing to serve in
the trenches, to dig bitches, build rail-
roads and risk their lives, many civil
ians can well afford to spare part
of their time to serve in the burrows
and in the harvest fields. If it appears
that the farmers of a community or
region are not able to secure the nee.
essary labor by the usual methods
then the leaders in the town or city
immediately dependent upon that re-
gion should organize establish touch
with representative arm leaders, and
see If they cannot assist in solving the
problem. In so doing they will not
only aid the farmers of the nation, but
they will vftally contribute to their
own well-being and to that of their
community
The farmers are willing to do all
that they humanity can, but where their
labor supply cannot be furnished from
the ordinary sources, it must be re-
cruited from those whose very sus-
tenance depends upon the farmers.
The soldier and the farmer are eager
to do their full share; the soldier Is
taking the chances of losing his life
and the farmer is risking the labors
Of year on the chance of the seasons;
both incur risks. Very many civilians
are equally eager to do their share,
but may not appreciate the opportunity
to serve in the field of agriculture.
The departments of agriculture and
labor will render every possible aid,
but each community knows it's own
problems, and urban people, especially
business men, could cooperate effec-
lively with the farmers and also REL
der much assistance.

commodate many of the members, it

Be Used instead Of Railroad
Hauled Coal That Change Of
Fuel Would Help.

cen the town man and the suburban
dweller do about the coal strlngency1
Much would be accomplished toward

EO0's railroads, It Is believed, If not
aanIy the farmers who have woodlands
buk city and suburban real estate own
@s possessing more or less wooded
tracts Of land would draw on these
sareas FOR a part, at least, Of their fuel
mpply. In the neighborhoOd Of small
-dties as well as larger ones there are
many woOdlots from which much fuel
vOOd could be obtained without en-
-cTOachment on the needed shade trees
and without detraeting from the
beauty of the landscape. In fact,
proper thinning in many cases will
hslp the development Of desirable
trees.
Save by Burning Wood.
AZ an instance Of how coal can b0
saved by the burning of wood, the
United States department of agricul-
ture has cited figures for II northern
and eastern states with a rural popu-
lation Of about 100000 which, It is
estimated. uses annually about 49,
sO00O0 tons Of coal. It Is figured that
ne Substitution Of wood for one
fourth Of the coal burned by farmers
and for one-tenth Of the coal burned
- villages would result In a saving Of
nearly 100000 tons. or between 65.-
900 and rocco carloads.
Il is where team-hauled wood can be
rssed instead of rallroad-hauled coal
lat the change Of fuel should be
made. While Il In not expected that
ne substitution Of wood for coal
aDuld be complete, It Is true that for
keating many kinds Of buildings wood
. the more convenient and ordinarily
ne cheaper fuel.
This Is particularly true In buildings
for which heat Is required only occa-
aonally, but then Is wanted in large
volume at short notice.

Furnaces are built especially for
