BOOT CONVERTS
 IDLE BOLS LSHEVIKIS
Lieut.. Brunner Proves That Men Who Will Not Work
 May Not Eat.

Vladivostok, Dec. Correspond ence of The Associated Press. (---The American method of applying the boot" by a muscular attache of the Stevens Railway Commission recently put an end to Bolshevik agitation among refugee charges of the Ameri- can Red Cross in Vladivostok, as re- lated by Lieutenant M. B. Hall, chief of the local relief organization.
 Among the five hundred men, wo- men and children who are being cared for in a remodeled soldiers barracks in the outskirts of Vladivostok. there were 15 who would not work
 The physician in control of the bar racks, a Russian, complained to Lieu tenant Hall that this coterie of young fellows was preaching Bolshevism to the others and urging them to defy the authority of those upon whom they were dependent on the grounds that the business of the Red Cross was to look after them and that there was no need for them to work The doctor was threatened with death if he interferedI with their program.
 Things came to such a pass that Lieutenant Hall asked for assistance and Lieutenant Brunner volunteered to take on the business of discipIin- ing the disturbers. After dinner one evening Lieutenants Hall and Brun- ner and an interpreter, George F,ain- stone, made an unexrected visit to the barracks. The inmates were all lined up and the doctor designated as ringleaders of the BoIshevik element half dozen young and middle aged men. lieutenant Brunner, who is big man with a businesslike air, threw off his coat and invited the Bolsheviks to take good look at him and to lis ten carefully to what he had to say. Most of the "sIackers" after hear ing Brunner's harangue which dealt with the general proposition af mo work no keep" and with details of certain physical discomforts to be ex- pected by any olbstreperous ones, elected to become industrious. Two young fire-eaters attempted to barley. Brunner seized one of them by the coat lapels and shook him until his teeth chattered, stopping at intervals long enough for the interpreter to translate as near as possible into Rus sian some forcible English
 l Then, in the words of Lieutenant Hall, Brunnec put his foot behind him and out he went" The other
 brave asked for time to consult his wife and in five minutes returned to announce that he would do anything required of him. He was assigned to scrubbing the stairs.
 Another disturber whose practice
 was to come in late and get out early
 so as to avoid meeting those in au- thority put in an appearance as Hall
 and Brunner were about to depart, His record was well known to them
 and no time was wasted in giving him
 a stout leather impetus outward.
 The following morning when Lieu tenant Brunner reached the barracks,
 so Lieutenant Hall says, he was em- barrassed by the numerous applica-
 tions for tasks by the erstwhile agi-
 tators.

A cord of hardwood has fuel value equal to two-thirds of a ton of hard coal.
 Stumps should be cut as low as pos- sible to avoid waste and sava future trouble
 All wood large enough to be made into stove wood should be used. Split wood small enough so that one man can load it on wagon.
 Pine should be split smaller than hardwood so that it may dry out quick Iy. Hardwood burns fairly well even when green.
 In cutting original growth forests, utilize old trees which are not it for lumber.
 Gut small trees of the poorer species.
 Cut all dead, diseased, dead-tepped, and otherwise inferior material.
 The wood lot will be the better for. the removal of old trees which have. stopped making growth, and of scarred' trees and stunted growths.
 Leave tees that are more valuable for lumbeF ties, or other salable prod ucts than they are for cordwood
 Leave your thrifty trees of the bet ter species below 10 inches in diameter for the future crop.
 Pile wood so that air can circulate freely through the pile.

These are the two chief appeals in the campaign now being launched by the United States Fuel Administration to bring about considerable use of wood to replace coal in states where domestic fuel is scarce. Of course, if you cut wood you do not have to buy coal and if you have wood piled up you will not worry over a coal shortage such as is possible through the flu" having cut down the production of an- thracite coal.
 New England, in particular, has much wood available within easy reach of large centers of population. The "Cut-a-Cord" Club of Belmont, six miles from Boston, was one of many similar organizations which proved ve- hicles for wholesome days of outdoor sport and happy social evenings.
 The Forestry service will cooperate with the Fuel Administration, through state administrators, this winter in To- cnting available supplies of standing timber and seeing that trees more val uable for other purposes will not be felled for irewood.
 If there is not a "Cut-a-Cord" club In your community, why not organize one7

Silks and Dress Goods.

Silks and Dress OOOdS.
 It is unnecessary to say much in regard to Read Silks. Customers know what to expect This January especially good prices prevail in
 Black Silks and Satins and Wool Goods for the reason that certain manufacturers were glad to sell an over production at very low figures. Read patrons get the benefit.
 Linens, White Goods, DOmestics In some respects this is very important feature of the sale because the market for these goods has been 90 uncertain for the past two years. Flax is scarce in Russia and Ireland Labor is not to be had. It is almost certain that the prices on linens cannot be lowered soon. The same rule applies to cottons. Those who need lin ems, bleached or unbIeached muslins, or the articles made from such materials should buy now for the prices are below those of the market today.
