If You Have Wood to Sell, Sell Now

Every intelligent farmer is anxious to make his farm wood lot yield as much profit as possi- ble, and to this end should mar ket it's products when prices are good.
 At present, there is probably a greater demand for freWood than ever before in American history. Because of coal mine strikes, congested freight condi tons. and abnormal demar ds for coal by war industries and trans port ships, nearly every city faces something like a fuel fam inc.
 If the farmer has wood to sell, therefore. now is the time to market it. Of course, farmers should not strip their woods 50 as to menace their own future supply of fuel, but whenever any farmer has more frewood than he can reasonably use, both pa triotism and self-interest sug gest prompt marketing.
 On many farms a great deal of bufnabie wood goes to waste that could with a little forethought be utilized. For example, every where timber is being cut or has recently been cut, the tree tops should be worked up into fire wood and sold. Not only can this usually be done proftably out if taken up by farmers generally. this plan will do much to relieve the fuel shortage which now Henaces the poor of our cities with genuine distress.
 Where any of you have waste wood on your farms, don't drive to town with empty wagons this winter.

 "Five cents apiece for san wiches--ham or cheese. Pies, apple or lemon, the same"
 "Al right" said the young fellow, give me four pieces of pie and two sandwiches, and here's a quarter and give me 15 cents change"
 The old darkey handed over the goods and the change before he stopped to think. Pretty soon he began to scratch his head and to think there was some thing wrong with the arithmetic
 Then another one of the boys stepped up and asked practically the same ques- ton. The old darkey gave him the same reply:
