OUR CORRESPONDENTS
REAL HOME BOOSTERS

In last weeks Banner were printed
more than three hundred new stories
from ANAL item up to an article of
several columns, and all recording the
doings aNd activities of Belding and
vicinity. y Of all these items a news
it is likely that not more than half a
dozen at the most appeared in the
dailies covering this section of the
country.
These stories were the homely
chronicles of the everyday doing of
real people whom you and / know
personally, not far away individuals
that we read about in the city dailies.
Commonplace little stories, many of
them, yet part of a great picture of
the life of an active community.
Each week for thirty years The
Banner has painted similar picture,
composite picture, by the hands Of
many artists. These artists are the
country correspondents. 1t is mar
velous indeed, that as they paint each
their little section, how admirably it
fits the work of every ather little Sec

selves in brilliant colors, in fact the

is apt to average little gray. But
these correspondents are exemplars
of fidelity and conservatism in re-
cording their neighbours affairs-so
much so that not one item in thou

The average country correspondent
is the truest kind of a patriot and
booster for his community. The work
is done without compensation and is
work that could not be paid for in
actual cash by any country newspaper
at the present standard of income.
The country correspondent in the first
place does his neighborhood distinct
service in keeping it on the map.
Who would know that there is an
Orleans, Grattan, Smyrna, or an
Otisco, or a Shiloh, or a Brink, or a
Chadwick, or a North Easton, or a
Keene, or an Ashley, or a Smoky Row,
Long Lake, etc., were it not for the
faithful correspondents who write
interestingly from week to week.

HERE'S 4 WAY
TO SAVE COAL
Bureau of Mines in Washington
Announces Scheme for Hot Air
Furnace Operators.

Washington, D. C.-With the
wintry weather coming on. the bu-
reau of mines, department of the
interior, offers a novel scheme to
householders using hot-air fur
naces to not only obtain greater
heat from their furnaces, but also
tc save from 20 to 30 per cent of
their coal.
The bureau suggests that it is
extremely wasteful of coal and also
comfort to follow the almost uni
yersal plan in hot-air furnaces of
having the cold-air duct connected
with the outside of the house dur
ing severe weather 1t is of the
opinion that when the outside air
is down to nearly zero, it Will be
profitable TO close the cold-air duct,
shutting off the air from the out
SIDE and substituting another air
duct from the inside of the house
where the air has ben somewhat
heated.
With most hOt-air layouts it is
possible, by simple and inexpens-
i've change. to effect a saving of 20
&c 30 per cent in the coal require
co to heat the building in severe
Gather, and the building can be
kept far more comfortable In fact,
1t is easy to change hot-air house
heating from a system markedly in
feriOr to steam or hot-water appa-
Fatus to a system that compares
with them most fayorabIy in near
ly all respects.
The plan here recommended is
merely the addition of an auxiliary
cold-air duct by which the air sup
PLY to the furnace may be taken
from inside the house, instead of
from outdoors, during very cold or
windy weather
There is, of course, nothing novel
in this proposal. Hot air furnaces
have been installed on this plan for
many years; and the only surpris-
ing feature is that all furnaces are
not Installed in this way, instead
of an occasional one. The saving
il coal made possible by such an
arrangement is obvious when one
considers the difference between
heating air taken from outdoors,
which may be at zero temperature
or below, and air taken from inside
the house entering the furnace at a
temperature averaging perhaps so
Gegrees Fahrenheit
The saving in fuel is especially
great of course, where a hot-air
furnace is signated and installed.
as all hot-air furnaces should be, to
deliver large volume of war air
instead of a small volume of very
highly heated air II is. in fact, a
material advantage of the auxiliary
Cold-air inlet from inside the house
that it enables a furnace to be in
stalled which will deliver warm air
instead of cold air-a thing which
is difficult or impossible when the
entire air supply is taken from out
doors
One might suppose that all hot
air furnaces would be built ar
cording TO the plan here recon-
mended: but for the ordinary dwell
