PATRIOTIC WAR SONG

Composed by Rev. S. J. Johnson)
In nineteen hundred and fifteen
When the war was declared,
Germany England and France
Fell out, the fighting then began.
Chorus
Over the sea, Over the sea,
The brave boys are fighting over
the sea.
(Repeat
Now, Kaiser, the great German King
He has declared the world must
But the proud American would not
So the boys are fighting now.
Now, wasn't that solemn day,
When the President had to say
To the Senate and Congress, too,
Would they stand by America, true ?
Then came the answer brave
Which the Senate and Congress
gave
Well be true to Americas call
While the boys are fighting for us

His Fathers Were Larger.

Tommie thought that his father WAS
the best father. that his mother was
the best mother. and that his house
wns~ the best house. Indeed. every
thing of his was best.
One day on II visit to n neighbor
woman. he followed her upstairs to
watch her make the bedrooms tidy.
Are those your daddy's shoes" he
asked. as the woman put those articles
in their proper place.
"Yes," she answered smiling. ''They
are pretty large, don't you tliink?
"Oh, yes, but my daddy's shoes are
larger" he said quickly.

Fair Prices for Wood as .

feet long. 4 feet high and feet wide.
The contents are 12S cubic feet. of
which about 10 per cent Is wood and
30 per cent air. Wood cut 4 feet long
can be sold to brickyards. limekilns,
Woodworking plants and other indus

use.
Another method, and one better
adapted for old growth hardwOOis,
which are difficult to split. Is to saw
the tree into logs of convenient lengths,
sny from 10 to Is feet. These are
"snaked" out to the edge of the wood
land and there sawed and split into
lengths proper for the stove or fur
nnce. The saving is usually done by
machine, driven either by gasoline OF
by electricity. The wood Is piled

is sawed into 16inch lengths. as IL
customary with stove material. three
runs are theoretically equivalent to
one cord.
Wood q Profitable Farm Crop.
F'irewOOd is expected to bring bet.
ter profit this year than ever before
1t is n much less pcrishable crop than
many which the farmer raises. When
properly piled. the better kinds OF
wood will last from two to three years
although wood steadily deterlOrates
after the first year.
To have the best heating value. as
well as to reduce the cost Of hauling.
wood should be thoroughly seasoned,
which means air-drying 1t from SIX to
eight months. However wher piled so

per cent of the moisture may be re-
moved in three months. Wood cut In
October and November, therefore. may
be burned the latter part of the winter.
The prices which cordwood likely
will bring this year offer the farmer
an opportunity to improve his wood
land by wedding out the inferior trees.
In the past this has seldom been prac
ticnble, for the inferior wood was not
marketable. With the prices indicated
for the coming winter, Trimmings be

BEGINNINGS Of Great Things.

magnetic locomotive wns exhibited and
operated. The exhibition was made
in the town hall of Dover, N. H.. by its
inventor. Moses G. Farmer. 1t carried
several people, who were doubtless
the first passengers transported on n
railroad by electricity in the United
States. Farmer lectured upon the in
vention at various Eastern points.
after which he opened n telegraph Of

fire alarm apparatus. AS early as 1850
Professor Farmer predicted. among
other results, the talking exactly as
we talk today by telephone. and he
also saw the feasibility of electric
traction by means of the storage bat

also invented IL flying machine. but

Heating Values.

Farmers who own woodlands and
people in cities, towns and villages
who can purchase wood from nearby
farms can help in the coming winter
as last winter-tO relieve the demand
for coal and the strain on railway
capacity by burning wood in place of
coal.
1t is not expected substitution Of
wood for coal will be complete or uni
versal, as for many purposes coal is
much more Convenient. But for heat
ing many kinds Of buildings wood Is
the more convenient and cheaper fuel.
This is particularly true in the case of
churches. halls, summer cottages and
other buildings for which heat IL re-
quired only occasionally but then Is
wanted in large volume at short no.

The Illustration shows the utiliza-
tion of wood at Camp MeIgs. near
Washington. The power cut-up saw
shown Is the standard machine used
by the army mt various camps, and has
II capacity of about Is cords Of four
foot wood cut into 1S-inch lengths in II
day of six and one-half hours. Wood
was the only fuel used at Camp Meigs
when the picture was taken. In the
winter conl Is used to hent the bar
racks, but wood alone Is used In cook
ing.
Relative Heating Values.
In heating value. one standard cord
of well-seasoned hickory. oak. beech,
birch. hard maple. ash. elm, locust, or
cherry is approximately equnl to one
ton (2,OOO pounds) of anthracite coal.
But n cord and IL half of soft maple,
and two cords of cedar, poplar or bass
wood are required to give the same
amount of heat. One cord of mixed
wood. well seasoned. equals in heat
ing value at least one ton Of average
grade bituminOus coal.
In the accompanying table is indi-
Gated the price the consumer can af-
ford to pay for cord of wood as the
equivalent of anthracite coal ut vari-
