operate with the different agencies throughout
the State which are In position to stimulate
Y the wood production and urge its increased use
1t is worse than folly to hope that next win
ter will bring any improvement in the coal situa-
ton In fact the concensus of expert opinion is
that fuel conditions will grow more acute as the
4 war progresses. Every month is adding to the
strain upon our resources, and especially upon
our transportation facilities, or lack of them, to
which the coal shortage is principally attributa-
bic. Coal, and coal alone, can run the plants
that manufacture all the supplies and munitions
Of war, and coal must furnish the motive pow
er to transport their products to the seaboards
and finally to our troops in France.
We know from this winters experience that
there is not enoug ii coal to go around, and the
rural communities which are in reach of wood
supplies will be expected to use wood where
ever possible and save coal for the industries
and larger cities where wood cannot be used.
There is no reason why ST. Marys county
t-sannot adjust itself to wood basis and release
the coal that she has been accustomed
to use for the industries that cannot change from
one fuel to another
The most important work that can be done
in ST. Mary's county right now is the cutting Of
wood for next winters use. The snow is
rapidly melting and all the available labor
should be utilized for this purpose. In few
weeks the farms will be needing the labor and
it will be too late. Not only should there be
enough wood cut in this county to supply all
our own needs, but there should be surplus to
help out on the fuel problem in the cities.
Its to be hoped that the Wood Fuel Com
mittee will take their job seriously. and if strenu-
Gus methods are necessary we would remind
them that there is Compulsory Work Law
On the statute books which is badly in need Of
evexcise

bushels of seed corn have been sold

movement in some cases is across
half dozen counties and a special

tier, where loss was heaviest, is
being made.

TAME TROUT EAT FROM HANDS OF
 ROAD WORKERS
Employees on Alaska Rail- road Feed Trout, and Get Fingers Bitten
 for Their Pains.

ANCHORAGE, Aug. 5.=In a small creek that crosses the right-of-way of the Government railroad 100 miles north of Anchorage- and that flows into the Susitna river, the trout are SO tame they feed out of the hands of the railroad workers Not only do the fish greedily devour any suit able food given them, but they bite the ends of the fingers of the don ors when the supply of edibles is exhausted.
 The bank of the creek was the site of construction camp when the railroad was building in that section, but only a bridge-building crew, consisting of about twelve men, is stationed there now.
 The timekeeper is Grant Kruet- ter. It he that first made friends with the trut and gained their con- fidence by feeding them-in the beginning by throwing salmon eggs into the water and then, as the fish gradually became bolder, by ap- preaching them closer and closer with the food in his hand until final ly they would take the eggs from Be- tween his fingers.
 Persons feeding the trout kneel on two logs that span the creek. Under one end of this improvisioned bridge there is deep. quiet pool, which seems to be the home of twenty or thirty fish, ranging in length from about eight to eighteen inches, The trout are of the rain bow variety and they rush to the surface as soon as hand is thrust into the water
 The bridge builders do not fish in the stream and they zealously guard it from visiting nimrods.

NORTH CAROLINA
 PRAYS FOR ALLIES
 TO WIN GREAT WAR

RALEIGH, N. C., Aug. 10-Every evening at seven o'clock church bells are. tolled in cities. towns, villages and in the most remote sections throughout North Carolina while people offer up prayer for the suc- cess of the Allies. This is done in accordance with a proclamation sug- gesting 1t issued several weeks ago by Governor Thomas w. Bickett.
 When the idea was first proposed it was not generally observed. but it now comes natural to most North Carolinians each evening at seven o'clock to pray for the victory of democracy over autocracy.
 Governor Bickett is one of those who strictly observes the new cus- tom. The other afternoon he was playing tennis with party of friends at court near the city and when he heard the sound of the tolling bells he raised his hands and said: Hold on, boys, there is the Angelus.'
 The game was stopped while the players joined the Governor in silent prayer.
