NOT AN ACORN.

When James A Garfield was
president of Hiram college, says
the Christian Register, a man
brought up his son to be entered
as a student. He wanted the boy
to take a course shorter than the
regular one.
MY son can never take all of
those studies" said the father. He
wants to get through more quickly.
Can't you arrange it for him."
"Oh. yes" said Mr. Garfield. He
can take a short course; it all de
ponds on what you want to make of
him. When God wants to make an
cak tree he takes a hundred years,
but he takes only two months 10

your furnace or stove for prac-
teal directions for running
economically.
s. Save gas and electric light
as much as possible-this will
save coal for the nation.
The School children as they mako
their rounds will be fortified with
instructions prepared by the Fuel
Administration and the Bureau OF
Mines showing how coal can be
saved by individuals. Some OF the
ideas put forth are:
1--WE" means everybody - man.
woman and chfld-who burns coal:
directly by feeding It into a furnace
or a CRATE; or Indirectly. by causing
others to burn II to produce heat
or steam: or by purchasing. using
or wasting things that are manufac-
tured which require the use OF coal
in their manufacture.
Let us talk directly to the per-
son who uses coal: II you save
coal you kill two birds with one
stone. You save money which you
may invest in q Liberty Bond. and
you save coal which the nation
needs for war purposes: and these
tories running to supply all the food
and clothing and other necessary
articles that the people must have.
and keeping the workmen and their
families warm and well fed.
The consumption OF coal has
greatly increased and is still In
creasing on account Of the demands
created by the war. The supply
cannot be increased in like pro-
portion. because the capacity OF the
mines is limited by the capacity Of
their shafts. cars and machinery.
and by the lack OF reserve supply
OF skilled miners IF YOU and all
Of US don't save coal there is dam
ger OF a coal famine. bringing real
suffering to thousands and causing
the war to last longer than II other
wise would.
How can you save coal? r. you
are burning II in an open CRATE in
your home, stop 1t: for 90 to 50
per cent. Of the heat produced by
burning coal in this manner es-
capes up the chimney.
