SOFT COAL MUST BE USED
IN PLACE OF HARD COAL.
Simple, But Serviciable Directions for
Its Use Given by Fuel Admins q
traitor Never.

Since soft coal must be more gen.
orally used in Maryland, the follow
ing simple but serviceable directions
for using soft coal are presented by
Ferdinand A. Meyer, Fuel Adminisfra-.
tor with request that hard coal rbe
displaced by soft whenever possibles
When starting fresh fire, lay asiae
some lump coal. If too large break
the Jumps to about the size of an
apple. This will prevent too much
smoke, while the fire is burning up
and getting into good shape After
the fire burnt up bright, keep feed
ing 1t with lump coal until the ne
cessary depth of fire is made, after
which the coal can be used as it
comes. Care, however, should be
taken to see that it is only put on the
heavy bed of green or fresh coal on
the fire, as this will prevent the free
passage of air through the bed of fuel
with the result that too much smoke
and unconsumed gas will be formed,
which means not only direct loss of
coal, but the deposit of SCOT will be
too heavy in the passage to the Chin
ney and in the chimney which will in
turn reduce the efficiency Of the heat
ing apparatus.
Before putting a fresh supply of
coal on the fire, always use the poker
stirring the fire up from the CRATE and
breaking the surface of the fuel bed
properly; then let the fire burn few
minutes or until the flames have dis
appeared. Then apply fresh charge,
but as already advised only a slight
covering.
The methods of using two kinds of
coal are entirely opposite to each
other. The hard coal fires should
never be disturbed by the use of a
poker, while the more the poker is
used with soft coal fire the better will
be the results.
Third-Never entirely close the
damper to the chimney. There must
be always free escape for the gases.
Fourth-If the fire is banked at
night, tn front part OF the crate
should be left bare; banking the fire
to the back and covering it well with
fine coal, leaving the fire door open,
closing the ash pit door and partly
closing the damper to the chimney;
but do not close damper to such an
extent that the gases will be prevent
ed from going up the chimney
Finally-Keep the ash pit compara-
lively clear of ashes and see that no
unburnt coal or cinders are wasted,
The ash pit should always appear
bright from the fire to get best re-
suits.

Seed Corn Conditions Are

wdmr TO Mr. Whiteford there is con-
Siderable shortage of seed corn in

ASSEMBLY SEEMS IN
DO-SONETH|NC MOOD
Lawmakers VIII Return to State
House Tonight After Weekend
Adjournment.
MANY BATTLESsARE DUE
Federal Prohibition Comes Up in House
Tomorrow, and Annexation is Due
to ause Further Ructions on
Goth Sides of Hallway

After week at home among their
own dear constituents, during which
it is rather to be guessed important
indications both pro and con have
been received upon the all important
questions of prohibition and annex
alton, the lawmakers of Maryland ere
due TO reassemble at the State House
tonight.
In the five weeks the legislature has
convened, organized, adjourned, re-
convened, did nothing, adjourned re
convened, etc, until last week, after
! all this delay, two important bills
went to their third reading-the Non
partisan Greater Baltimore Exten-
sion Leagues bill i the House and
the ratification of the federal pro-
hibition amendment in the Senate.
From now on the members of the
Assembly will be heard in acrimon-
ious debate over these and other
bills. The annexation bill will soon
be in the Senate and the dry amend
Wednesday.
/ To all appearances the only bill
which will passed through battle will
be that of the absent soldiers and
sailors voting measure. At the
"war session" of the Assembly this
bill was defeated by the Democrats
because the Wilson Ballot Law re-
pealer was attached to it. AT that
time, however, the opposition was
only to the repeater act and not the
vote bill 1t is now the property of
both parties, the Republicans hav-
ing made it a plank in their plat
form and the Democrats swearing
the right to father the measuree. The
bill is on its second reading in the
House at this time and should be
reported favorably this week.
Racetrack bills, the Wilson Ballot
Law and other bills not entirely in
accord with the views of all the men,
able ruction, both in the House and
Senate.
The joint resolution ratifying the
prohibition amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution has passed the Sen
ate, and viii come UP in the House
on Wednesday as special order. The
final and titanic struggle will then
begin on the proposition whether
Maryland shall be among the states
to ratify or reject the amendment.
Friends of the City Extension Bill,
an despecially Republicans, who are
committed to it, which was advanced
Friday night to the third reading file,
are still fearful that the prohibition
resolution will get ahead Of it and
play havoc with it onits final pas
sage. Hence the efforts, when the
House reassembles tonight, to pass
City Extension Bill, thus clearing the
decks for the prohibition resolution
on Wednesday

WE NEED BETTER ROADS.

Nothing helps farming community
more than better roads A road over
which a farmer can haul 100 bushels of
grain at load is worth much to the
farmer 1t adds value to his land. If
you don't believe it go out and talk with
the fine macadam roads and see if he
does not regard his land as worth from
$40 to $40 per acre more than land lying
several miles from such a road.
Idaho needs better roads more than
any other state in the Union The great
North and South Highway" will be of
great benefit to the state from a scenic
and sentimental standpoint, but it will
not be of nearly as proportionately much
value as good roads through the farm
ing sections. The highways which it is
proposed to build to connect northern
with southern Idaho will be of convent
ence to the faw who have occasion to
visit the state capitol or the southern
part of the state by automobile, but
they are comparatively few.
The good road that reaches the farms
where the wealth of the state is pro-
duced will benefit more people, per mile,
than any such highway as that to be
built from here to Boise. If we can help
the farmers to market their crops at
less expense and make it easier for them
to reach the towns where they do their
trading we will have gone a long way
toward increasing the production of farm
produce and toward making life more
pleasant on the farms.
OF course we need trunk lines. We
need better roads between here and Spo-
kane, which is the natural market for
this section. We will have such roads
IN the very near future We already
ave much of the road built and only
need connection with the Palouse and
the state highways across the line in
Washington When this is provided our
farmers here can take truck loads of
farm produce directly to Spokane. /
