OUR SERVICE FLAG
THE ZONE SYSTEM.

The Fuel Administration in work
ing out a zone system for the dis
tribution Of bituminous coal. expects
p TO make tremendous savings in mil
cage.
With the annual production Of
biir1inous zeal approximately $780,
OO 900 tons. or 60 ror cent Of the
counlry's output, II is estimated that
the wing will amount to 100. OOO.0 200
car ni les. This means that the same
number Of cars would make almost
100000 additional trips from the
mines which would be equivalent to
an increase in production was re.
luced because they could not get
ear5 to load the output and few had
stor' ge facilities.
The idea Of the plan Is 20 have coal
consumed as near as possible where
Il is mined, which is not the general
pract C. NV. Products of different
sections are sent long distances in
many instances, large,y because peo-
pie Of one section have become ac-
customed TO using a particular pro-
duct
A large part Of the coal which the
system will prevent trem moving
west out Of the eastern producing
districts will be available for use in
New England insofar as II can be
transported there.
Under the zone system, Western
Kentucky fields will supply Kentucky,
Tennessee, Mississippi. Arkansas,
Louisiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, In
diana, Texas.

TELLS HOW TO RUN
 HOT AIR FURNACES

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-With the wintry weather here. the Bureau of Mines, Department of the Interior. offers a novel scheme to household CTS using hot-air furpaces to not only obtain greater heat froV their fur naces. but also to save from 20 to 30 per cent of their coal.
 The bureau suggests that it is ex- tremely wasteful of coal and also comfort to follow the almost univer- sal plan in hot-air furnaces of hay ing the cold-air duct connected with the outside of the house during se- we're weather It is of the opinion that when the outside air is down to nearly zero, it will be profitable to close the cold-air duct, shutting off the the air from the outside and sub stituting another air duct from the in side Of the house where the air has been somewhat heated
 With most hot-air layouts it is pos sible. by a simple and inexpensive change. to effect saving of 20 to 50 per cent in the coal required to heat the building in severe weather,

BOY |S HAVING FUN IN
 NORTHF FRANCE
HUNS WERE RUNNING SO FAST THAT THEY WERE ALMOST TOTAL STRANG- FRS TO TANKS, SAYS THURMAN BAILEY.
(From Sundays Daily.)

. Mrs. Albert M Jones of this city
 has just received an interesting let
 ter from her brother, Private Thur
 man F. Bailey of Seligman, who is
 now with Pershing's forces in north
 ern France or Germany The letter,
 which was written on October Fist,
 runs, in part, as follows:
 ''I suppose that you have been reading the news about the big drive
 up iR this part of the battle front,
 but the papers never say anything about the oceans of mud which we encounter hereabouts What I can't understand is why they call this country Sunny France for it rains about 265 days out the year where we are located. I wouldn't trade Ari- zona for the whole country if I had to live here the rest of my days. And to think that we have to winter here. But, anyway, we have Jerry on the run at the present time, and as that lis just what we came here for, it helps whole lot
 ''I have just taken a bath Gin a buckeD and sprayed my blankets with gasoline in an effort to kill off a few of the cooties which are getting too chummy You see the cootie is a cross between the French, British and American louse, and as an in- sect is sure bear-cat. He possesses all of the fighting qualities of the Yankee lice and the stubbornness of the English, and is usually abou. as hard to find as a camouflaged battery of French 75's. They are truly won derful addition to the louse tribe.
 T haven't been able to see very much lately as we have been kept rather busy. Also had a slight cold in my back for several weeks. Do you know that we have been chasing out the Germans so rapidly and they have travelled so far away from the American lines that we seldom see even one of their aefoplanes any more?
 Well, sister. I have begun to look forward to the day when peace will be declared. was telling some of the boys yesterday about those fine waffles, poached eggs and real but ter that l was going to have when I got back to Yavapai county again. and that was about as far as I got be- fore they nearly mobbed me for even mentioning such subjects. I have not had real good cup of coffee since leaving America. I am writing to- day to Frank Dickcrson, and will also drop a line to Ollie Taylor, and if you see any of mS old friends from the north of the county tell them to be sure to write, especially the girls, and I will answer them all. My address will be O Wagon No. 2, 23d Engineers, A. F. F., France, via New York City"

BOLSHEVISM IS FAST
 WRECKING SLAV EMPIRE

ARCHANGEL, Nov. @-"Russia is fast bleeding to death through a reign of terror which is worse than that of the French revolution. and it is time the nations of the earth came here to put down one of the worlds great est evils" President Nicholas Tschai- kovsky of the provisional government of the north, told a correspondent of the Associated Press today.
 "It Is no longer a question of poli- ties" he continued. Tnside the Bol- shevik lines the situation is worse than the French reign of terror Vic tins executed now must be counted by the tens of thousands. All hair splitting political reasons aside, the world must know that the Bolsheviks are no longer even party, but are now merely a group of men deter mined to hold what they have seized by the merciless slaughter of those who oppose them.
 "It is now only the question of putting down an evil. Persons escap- ing from Moscow. Petrograd and Vologda and reaching here bring in disputable stories of the executions. The situation seems beyond the con trol of some Bolshevik leaders who themselves are revolting at the bloodShed"
 President Tschaikovsky said he re- gently cabled to President Wilson urging the immediate dispatch of more troops.
 Nothing can bring Russia out of this chaos until the Bolshevik terror has been quashed by the force of arms" said Tschaikovsky. "The force now here is unable to do this quickly. hundreds are dying daily.
 "The world must understand that Bolshevism, like imperialism, is foe TO democracy. It is in Russia a mere dictatorship, a group of men holding sway by force of arms. They seize every straw, falsifying logic to justify themselves. As an example they now declare that the proposed league of nations is only another scheme to give power to the bourgeoise against the working men"
 Perhaps the world will naturally ask what Russia is doing to help her self" said Tschail,ovsky, land I can only answer that we are doing our best. A recent example is the re- of the government of the North. Now every party and every class is represented. Forgetting politics they are turning their efforts toward putting down the Bolshevik evil. We are mobilizing our forces, but the Allies must help" :, President Tschaikovsky is a Social ! iSt.

 Day, November llth, by getting in- toxicated and behaving in a disgrace
 ful manner on the pubic plaza in Prescott. Henry H. Lund yesterday instituted action in the Superior court
 seeking to have his marriage, which took place on May IS, 1918, dissolved. The complaint stated that the we'd ding took place at Holbrook on the date above mentioned, and that Mrs. I.und developed liking for alcoholic refreshments early in the game. The husband alleges that his wife, while intoxicated, abused him in public several times, much to his chagrin, i and that on several occasions she left the family home at Ash Fork and for long periods refused to live with her husband. On November llth, while the Americans were celebrat- ing the signing of the armistice, the defendant is alleged to have showed up in Prescott so badly intoxicated that she had to be helped off the plaza by a number of her friends.

HUNS HOPED TO BE
 PERMANENT GUESTS THERE

WITH RITIS H-AMERICAN FORCES IN FRANCE, Nov. 30. - That Germany expected to occupy for a long time, and perhaps perman- ently. the northern portion of France, is shown by the fact that the Hun military authorities changed the names of all the important streets in the larger towns which fell into their hands. There is scarcely a village where a distinctly German designa- ton was not given to road or street.
 Such names as Kaiser Wilhelm Strasse." "Bismark Strasse." "Von Hindenburg Strasse." took the places of the French names. When the American troops operating with the British entered these towns they took particular delight in destroying these signs and replacing the original French markings.
 The Germans told the French in habitants of these towns that in the future France would be divided into two parts - North France, which would belong to Germany and South France, which the French would be permitted to keep. They put the in habitants under severe discipline and required them to stand at attention and salute whenever one of their of ficers addressed them or passed them On the street.
 When the German officers entered any of the homes, the whole family was required to stand at attention until they left. Breaches of this or der were severely punished. The Boches had the population thorough v cowed and permitted them only he most ordinary privileges.

ANOTHER YOUNG SOLDIER
 FALLS IN FRANCE
(From Sundays Oaily)

Jake Thcobold, another Prescott
 youth, has fallen in France, his par
 ents. MT. and Mrs. John Hheobold having been advised yesterday of his
 death which occurred on November
 l6. from wounds received in action.
 The telegram came from Washington during the afternoon and will evoke sorrow in this community, where the
 deceased worked at his trade as a printer. He had nearly completed his apprenticeship a few days before he went into the ranks, and was given his journeyman card in the local typographical union.
 It is presumed this Npung man, who was with the Soth Division, of which the Arizona regiment was unit, received his fatal wound while the command was advancing into Sedan in the St Mihiel sector, and he Is probably among the last of Americans to fall in action. On Octo- Der IS he wrote his parents here in a cheerful mood, and the shock of his death coming SO soon afterward IS occasioning the sincere sympathy of many to those at home who are so near and dear. Jake was aged "A years, and was born in Ohio. He had been raised here, and was of fine fellowship and industrious habits. are his father and mother of Prescott. sister, Laura, and three brothers, Edwin, Floyd and George Theobold

MAN. GOOD CITIZEN
 IS CALLED
NELSON J. RITTER, POPU- LARLY AND WID ELY
 KIN O WN IN ARIZONA, ENDS EARTHLY CAREER YESTERDAY MORNING.
(From Sundays DaiIy)

Again has death entered the fold of loyal favapai citizens, and the com munity experienced profound shock yesterday when it learned that Nel- son ]. Ritter had heard the great well done" call. This sad death oc- cured at the Ritter home, FPS North Mt. Vernon Avenue, on Saturday morning at 6:l5 o'clock, following an attack of lobular pneumonia.
 Seldom is it given a man to enjoy the confidence and love of so large a circle of real friends, as was the lot of Tom Ritter, as he was familiar ly known to the rangemen of the state. Square and fair in all things, generous and honorable, he was well known in Flagstaff and Phoenix as in Prescott. where he made his home. Coming to the great west Is years ago, he entered the sheep business and made his own place among the successful men of the State, and it is with feeling of keen loss that Arizona citizens will read today of his unexpected death.
 Nelson ]. Ritter was born in Phila- delphia. June ?, lS66, and was edu- cated in that city at the Protestant Episcopal school. He was married two years ago in Chicago to Miss Edna Browning. of Louisville, Ky, and their home on Mt. Vernon ave nue was a happy meeting place of friends. Besides the widow, sister, Miss Emeline Ritter, and two broth CTS, Howard and Sheldon, all of Philadelphia, arc left to moSrn his loss.
 Mir. Ritter was in l9l6 appointed secretary of the Arizona Sheep Com mission by Governor Campbell, who was personal friend, and occupied that position during Governor Camp bells administration. He was a pop nlar member of Yavapai rClubi of Prescott, where his genial personality will be greatly missed.
 Owing to the influenza quarantine, there will be no services at the house, but Rev Golden, of St Luke's Epis- copal church, will read the burial service at the grave. The funeral will be held on Monday in Mountain View cemetery at II :0O o'clock, and friends are invited to this service.

 and the building can be kept far more comfortable In fact it is easy to
 change hot-air house heating from a system markedly inferior to steam or hot-water apparatus to system that compares with them most favorably in nearly all respects.
 The plan here recommended is merely the addition of an auxilliary cold-air duct by which the air supply to the furnace may be taken from in side the house, instead of from out doors, during very cold or windy weather
 There is, of course, nothing novel in this proposal. Hot-air furnaces have been installed on this plan for many years: and the only surprising feature is that all furnaces are not installed in this way, instead of an occasional one. The saving in coal made possible by such an arrange ment is obvious when one considers the difference between heating air taken from outdoors, which may be at zero temperature or below. and air taken from inside the house en- tering the furnace at a temperature averaging perhaps 60 deg. F.
 The saving in fuel is especially great, of course. where a hot-air fur mace is designed and installed, as all hot-air furnaces should be, to de- liver a large volume of warm air in stead of small volume of very high ly heated air. It IS, in fact, a ma tcrial advantage of the auxiliary cold air inlet from inside the house that it enables a furnace to be installed which will deliver warm air instead of hot air-a thing which is difficult or impossible when the entire air sup ply is taken from outdoors.
 One might suppose that all hot-air furnaces would be built according 10 the plan here recommended; but for the ordinary dwelling the heating ap- paratus usually receives only such thought and attention as the plumb CT or builder cares to give it. It is a question of putting in equipment that will cost the least and sell the best rather than what will give the best results in operation.
 In these times, however, when economy at every point is demand cd as a patriotic duty, it is surely the duty and the opportunity of engineers to undertake leadership in this re- form. No argument whatever is necessary to convince engineers of the practical advantages of the change here urged.
 The bureau has issued on this sub ject Technical Paper POS. How to Improve the Hot-Air Furnace" a copy of which may be obtained by the Director of the Bur eau of Mines, Washington, D. C.
