CLEAN FURNACES AND STOVE


The United States Fuel Administration
urges an immediate cleanup Of furnaces
and stoves.
Technical men say that one one-hund-
redth inch Of SCOT has the same resist
ing power to heat that ten inches Of iron
have. Soot-coverings on the interior OF
stoves and furnaces mean, therefore,
waste Of fuel and waste Of money.
Every coal purchaser will find 1t to his
interest to clean stoves and furnaces.
At the same time his work will be q
patriotic service; he will be- saving fuel
for war industries and war transporta-
ton.
The Fuel Administration urges also
that cellar furnace pipes be examined FOR
leaks. The piping should be closely
co9Aected so that no heat may escape
through breaks or cracks.
If the landlord refuses to make such
repairs the householder should report
the matter promptly to his county or
State fuel administrator.
An automatic damper installed in the
chimney pipe is an excellent coal-saver.
This damper is controlled by the draft.
and saves coal by preventing too vigor'
GUS a fire.
Don't wait until the last minute wher
the fires must be started. Now is the
time for fuel-forehandedness. Furnaces
and stoves should be cleaned and repair
ed and automatic dampers installed at
once.

MR.. BRYAN AT FIFTY-EIGHT

Mr.. Bryan passed his fifty-eighth
milestone yesterday. An interesting
man with noble career.
He made his debut in national life
as champion of tariff reform. As a
member of the house he helped pre-
pare, and voted for, the Wilson tariff
bill of 1894. The bill, changed some
what by the senate, became law,
failed disastrously in action, and the
failure contributed materially to the
return of the republican party to pow
er.
Retiring from the house after two
terms, Mr.. Bryan took up the CAM
paign for free silver, canvassed the
country in its favor, and in 1896 was
nominated for president by the democ-
racy on that issue. He made bril-
liant campaign, but lost. He tried
again four years later with the same
result and scored his third failure in
1908.
His democratic critics repeated to
themselves "Three times and out"
But they were mistaken. Mr.. Bryan
was not out. Four years later he ap-
peared at Baltimore and became the
warwick Of the convention. He
switched from Mr.. Clark to Mr.. VIII
son, and nominated the latter for pres
ident. The prize was beyond his OWL
reach, but he directed its bestowal.
In selecting his official advisers, Mir.
Wilson remembered his creator, and
placed him at the head Of the cabinet.
AT that time there was no thought of
a foreign war. Domestic issues were
uppermost in America, and the trium-
plant democracy, in control again at
both ends of the avenue, addressed
itself to these issues.
But the war came; and the rest, in
connection with Mr.. Bryan, is recent
history, 1t is fresh in detail in all
memories.
Mr.. Bryan's activities are searched
for signs as to 1920. What interpre-
tation may be put upon them? Is the
presidential bee still in his bonnet?
There are those who fancy they hear it
buzzing. He has still, after all these
years and the record-three unsuc-
cessful campaigns for the presidency
and brief stay in the state depart
ment-a large and devoted following.
Under sixty, he is rated as in his
prine--as still something of young
man in politics.
We shall know more about Mr.. Bry-
an and the hopes and purposes of his
followers as to this matter a little
ater He will remain in the lime
ight-one can hardly think of him as
n shadow-and his friends and sup
,orters, taking their cue from him,
IRE never idle. Washington Star,
March 20.

DON'T GLOOM THE BOYS.

If vuu have any regard for the bays
in France, don't write gloomy letters,
Keep the clouds out Of your cores
pondence, and let it breathe nsught
but sunshine and cheer. If doubts as
sail you, keep them TO yourself, and
give the soldier boy letters breathing
optimism and confidence, If family
cares and worries beset you, remember
that his care is infinitely greater than
your cN.a Your burden is a personal
one, WI le on his brave shoulders rests
- e..es Of a nation.
Fright, confident letters from home,
breathing Of love and confidence in our
cause and in the heroes who are up
hcl.:ar il, will do more to win this
waf than any other agency. And
gloomy forebodings and wailings viii
as surely retard if not defeat us. Your
boy should hear none but good Jews
firm ho1le unless it is absolutely ree-
essary Not that his love and devo.
tion is any less than of old, rather
gr,aitr This he is proving by his
presence on the battle front. But his
one supreme thought now is to strike
,!th the Utmost of his power for the
safety ano sanctity of his home, and
lis heart should know no other care
Keep the glooms at home, if they
rust exist, and send the sunshine to
lie boys.

GOOD INVESTMENT FOR
BOYS AND GIRLS.

Little girl, little boy, what hav,
you done with your allowance for this
week?
Did you spend, it on picture shows
or ice cream or sundaes? Or did you
lend it to Uncle Sam to help buy am
munition and war supplies with which
to lick the kaiser?
Do you belong to one of the war
savings societies in your village town
or county? Do you have one in your
own school house? If not you are ex-
pected to, and you are even expected
to have one right in your own school
room. If you have, surely you belong
to it, And if you don't already belong
surely you will do so when you have
the price of admission-25 cents for
one thrift stamp-and a promise to
buy more as soon as you can.
The boys who are going to leave the
high schools this week to work on
farms because it is a patriotic duty
have promised to give a goodly por-
ton of their earnings to buy Thrift
Stamps for Uncle Sam. These boys
who are going to work, and work hard,
for their money,will know, before the
summer is over, the difference between
working for their money, and getting
it from fond parents. And it is going
to do them a thousand times more
good, and it is going to do Uncle Sam
a lot of good-not only now, but when
the war is over and things will begin
10 settle themselves into peace times
n this country.
When the war is over, these boys will
lave established habits of thrift, the
.reatest necessity Of the American
eople Thrift is what Uncle Sam is
rying to instill into the boys and

THE FLAG ABOVE THE
SCHOOLHOUSE DOOR

In cities and villages, in country dis
tricts scattered wide,
Above the schoolhouse door it floats, a
thing of beauty and of pride;
The poorest child, the richest heir
It's theirs in common to adore
For It's their flag that proudly floats
the flag above the school,house door.
What does it mean, o careless boy. o
thoughtless girl, at happy play?
Red for the blood your fathers shed on
some far aft eventful day;
White for the loyalty and faith of
countless women who forbore
To mourn, but gave their all to save
the flag above the schoolhouse doo,.
And blue, sweet hopes eternal hue
the color of true loyalty.
Red, white and blue united in one
grand harmonious trinity!
IT'S yours to love, It's yours to serve,
It's yours to cherish ever more!
God keep it ever floating there-the
flag above the schoolhouse door.

While we are urging the farmers to
raise hogs, it occurs to US that the
government might greatly facilitate
matters by inaugurating uniform COM
pulsory incubation of all hogs against
cholera-this to be carried out through
the department of agriculture. 1t is
safe to say there is hardly a state in
the Union that doesn't lose a million
hogs, old and young, every year thru
this scourge. Compulsory vaccination
and incubation has almost rid the hui
man race of several heretofore dread
ed diseases. 1t will do the same fo-
the porkers. Just now any plan that
will increase the meat supply is well
worth practicing.

1t might be well to remind certain
PEOPLE that the president is command
er-in-chief of the United States forces
ard that tie constitution, which we are
so fond Of invoking clothes him with
almost absolute power. It is supreme
ftlly to suppose that congress, mighty
as it is in some matters, can take away
che fraction Of his authority. That
was delegated to him by higher pow
Fl than any congress. There is no mid
Gle rOad-the American citizen who
does not give full cooperation and ODE

is an enemy, and should be treated as
such.

It is stated that there have been
more enlistments from Wall Street
families than from any other one class
of families in the country. AS our

contend that Wall Street brought on
the war, We suppose it was merely for
the pleasure Of seeing their boys shot.

INTENSIVE FARMING.

the world-if his part is just as i'm
portant as the ammunition maker or
the shipbuilder-if flood will win the

err will agree that it is really his most
important business just now to mske
every inca of ground produce the ut
most-in ether words, that he must
put into practice every known device
that win aid him in the furtherancc Of
this project.
People, generally, know that there
has been waste everywhere in the past
and this does not mean in the city
alone, but on the farm as well-acres
and acres of uncultivated land, land
that could be made to produce at least
little more than it has.
/. In cities, municipal gardens are be-
ing planted on every available plot az
ground, and this viii help, but it is on
the farms, where men really under
stand the soil, its needs and its possl-
bilities-that the most good can ready
be done.
Every good farmer should know his
soil, and Of course he should not abuse
it or make it barren for succeeding
generations. He wouldn't think Of
taking his best racing horse ouE and
making it 10 work that would disable
it for the track-nor should he take all
the best elements out of the soil with
cut replacing them. u

What will he receive in return?
First, The consciousness that he

that he has as truly given of his sub

Mr.. Noah was the first shipbuilder

his craft by the models which we of
