The fact that there is a coal short
age has been set forth in the public
press, but it is not believed that the
rural sections of the State realize
the full significance of the situation.
That the rural communities have not
suffered so severely from the coal
shortage this winter is due to their
having gotten in supplies before the
shortage occurred. There are, how
ever, no surplus supplies to be drawn
upon next summer as was the case
last year, and the situation becomes
more serious Certainly every farm
er who has been in the habit of using
coal entirely, or in part, should draw
upon his wood lot for his fuel sup
ply. Those living in villages or
towns within hauling distance OF
wood supplies should lay in re-
serve stock of wood, as they may not
be able to get coal or only limited
amount.
There still remains a month or six
weeks of the winter period which is
the best time to cut wood. This is
the season when the men and teams
on the farm are least busy and when
the weather is most favorable for
woods operations. When the spring g
drive begins, with busy preparations
for the farm crops wood cutting Will
be out of the question, and in the fall
the harvesting of crops will demand
attention, until it is too late to have
wood cut and seasoned for next win
ter's use 1t has often been en-
phasized that crop production at the
present time is the most important
contribution that the farmer can
make in winning the war. Wood is
largely a farm crop, often as impor-
tant as any other crop produced by
the farmer and should be so consid-
cred. To realize the fullest benefit,
however, the farmer should cut not
| only enough for his own needs, but
surplus which he will be able to
sell at good profit next winter. The
cost of cutting wood, preparing it
! for the market, and the retail price
are all variable factors, depending
| upon local conditions and demand.
Information obtained from different
localities will, however, serve as a
basis for calculation and enable the
woodland owner to calculate for him
self the probable income from woods
operations.
In one operation in the hardwood
section, ~ miles from a local mar
ket, fair profit was made in deliy-
ering wood to a dealer at $3.50 per
cord. The operation was conducted
as follows: The trees were cut,
trimmed and dragged to the saw.
One man at S1.75 per day and one
| horse at 81 per day would skid in
| enough trees to average Is cords
per Gay of ten hours, making the
cost Is cents per cord.
A four horsepower gasoline saw
operating a 28-inch circular saw was
used The engine was mounted on
wheels and moved when the skidding
distance became too great. Three
hundred feet was the greatest dis
tance practicable. There should be
sufficient room at the saw for roll
way, to permit an accumulation of
logs. A crew of three operates the
engine, one boy at $1.25 to throw

Agrees Not to cede the Province Of
ChoIm to Ukraine Republic.
Basic, Feb. 21.-Dr. Won Seydler,
the Austrian premier, has announced
to Parliament the Ukraine rada (coun-
ciD and the Austro- Hungarian gov
ernment have signed an agreement
supplementing the Ukraine peace
treaty, so that the province Of Cholm
will not revert to the Ukraine.
A mixed commission will be appoint
ed to decide its fate on race prin-
ciples and with regard to the wishes
Of the population.
Much feeling has been aroused
among the Poles because Cho'm, a
part of Poland, has been given to the
Ukraine by the peace treaty signed
at Brest-Litovsk.
The attitude of Polish deputies in
the parliament threatened the stabili.
ty of the Won Seydler government,
whose resignation was refused by
Emperor Charles on February 9.
Strikes of protest against the ceding
of Cholm have been held in both Rus
sian and Austrisu Polish cities.

homely girl to meet her own best
beau she always feels that she has
been very charitable in giving the
poor girl an opportunity to win his

not interfere in the least with her

away the cut wood, one saywer-$2,
one man at $1.75 to put poles on the
roIlway and assist the sawyer. The
cost of the engine is S per day of
ten hours, including gasoline, engine
oil and all charges. The crew aver
ages 20 cords of wood per day of
ten hours. making the cost so cents
per cord.
The wood is hauled to town in a
wagon with a bed IL feet long, 80
inches wide and IS inches deep, and
holding half cord when it is care
fully loaded and the top rounded up.
In delivering to the town, 2 Il miles
distant, the team makes three trips
day. Hauling is at the rate of 81
per day for team and driver, making
the cost $2.66 per cord. The wood
sells for S2.75 per load delivered,
making the cost $3.50 per cord.

This price is for green wood.
When seasoned, the market price per
cord delivered would probably be IS,
making the profit much larger.
In many cases it would be found
practicable for the farmer to cut his
wood this winter in convenient leng-
tbs for handling, pile it up at con-
yenient places in or near the woods
where it can be sawed into stove
length next winter. Portable wood
saws, operated with gasoline engines
can be hired by the hour for cutting
wood into stove length, or they can
be hired to do the work by the cord.
The cost of cutting into stove length
by the cord, when all labor is furn-
ished by the sawyer, is from 81 to
50. The cost of a four horsepower
gasoline saving outfit is about $3.50.
The Fuel Administration will be
glad to assist any one in finding a
profitable market for any surplus
wood that he may have cut ready for
delivery.

The urine gets cloudy, full Of sediment.
The channels often get sore and irri

ov three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the

ri Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
