he said goodbye to officers and

Burn Wood-Help Save Coal

The coal shortage for next Win
ter, estimated by the Fuel Admin
istration at about 100000 tons,
makes it necessary that wood
should be used to. save both coal
and transportation. Country dis
tri'cts and small villages are in po-
sition greatly to help coal conser-
walton by burning wood.
Farmers now use on their farms
s3,OOO,OOO cords of fuel wood an
nually. All farms should use 1t
during the war or emergency per-
iods, officials urge.
Any kind of coal stove or furn-
ace can be used for burning wood
i'm a pinch. With a careful atten-
tion to drafts and CRATES, the
change can be made with little
trouble.
On the average, according to the
Forest Service, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, cord OF
wood is about equal to seven
tenths of ton of coal. Two cords
of soft wood are required to equal
ton of coal, but a cord of wood
from a number of well-known
kinds of trees will equal ton of
coal in heating value, and for
three varieties - Usage orange,
canyon live oak, and black locust
"a cord has a higher value than
a tom of coal. Most of the oaks and
hickolies, as we'll as western yew,
honey locust, blue gum sweet
birch, and anumber of others are
the equivalent of nine-tenths OF
one ton Of coal.
The following have low heat
ing value, but are approximately
equal to one-half a ton of coal

Old Clothes "Clinics"
the Fashion

To be up TO date these days your
community should have an old
clothes clinic, the Department of
Agriculture suggests. Not the
amount you spend on clothes but
the amount you save is the criter-
ion by which you are judged in
this year of war. The home dem
onstratIon agents usually hold the
clinics, and old garments are
brought, ripped, and made over by
the women under their direction.
This wool-conserving campaign in
Iowa lis particularly strong.

Fireless Cookers that are Safe

Recently the National Board of
Fire Underwriters issued a eau
ton against using wooden pals or
tubs to make homemade fireless
cookers. To eliminate the danger
of fires from these valuable fuel
savers, the Department of Agri-
culture advocates using ground
asbestos in place of hay, paper, or
wool for packing in them. Addi-
tional safety may be attained by
making the cooker from a tin can.

Details of this. latest effort on The

DR. Ante Trumbio, who representing
the Slav provinces of Austria. signed
at Corful on. July 20, 1917. the pact
with Serbia providing for single
united Southern Slav nation following
the war.
Croatia and Slavonia rank as two of
the most fertile provinces of Austria,
and despite the ever increasing scar
city of food that exists throughout
the dual monarchy these two prov
.inces continue to produce more than
they need. Through their local diet
they therefore proposed TO the Aus
government that
they be allowed to suecor the other
Slav provinces of Bohemia, Dalmatias
Herzegovina and Istria. The only
condition, they demanded was that in
recognition of this they be exempted
fro mmilitary requisition of their
food products.
The proposition was turned down by
the Austrian Hungarian government,
twhereupon the two more fortunate
provinces OF Croatia and Slavonia be-
gan immediately gathering together
all the babies and little children from
the other Slav provinces. No distin-
iction was made either on religious
grounds or grounds of diverse branch

wise were distributed amongst the
families of Croatia and Slavonia with

Ian are now being fed and educated
towards the common end of saving
the greatest number possible of the
southern Slav race, which has had

The fish aren't going to be used in

they are to wage war against mosqui-
