Ten heatless Mondays were decreed
by the fuel administration January IT
as a measure to save coal and to re-
lfeve railroad transportation. The
Monday holidays were preceded by a
five-day industrial shut down at the
close of which eastern railroads at the
direction Of Director McAdoo, put
on embargOes against TIN movement
of general freight.
The Monday closing has brought the
most vigorous opposition from com
mercial interests, particularly the big
stores. The small stores
too, have opposed it as have the own.

RESERVES TO THE COLORS
The On eSupreme Task Before Ameri.
can PeopIesis the Winning Of the
War.

On the Bird day of September, 1917,
| / issued proclamation calling into &C
| tive military service all men between
the ages of twenty-one and forty-f1ve.
These men constitute the Home Guard
and are, the guardians Of the peace
and safety of the state.
now call to the colors all the wo-
men in the state, and all the boys and
girls between the ages of twelve and
twenty-one.
The one supreme necessity for the
winning of the war is food.
The one sure way to supply this
supreme necessity is to man the bread
line with the woman power, the boy
power and the girl power of the state.
hereby nominate and appoint every
woman in the state a committee of one
on Garden Spots. The duty of each
committee is two-fold:
1. To take steps at once to prepare
and cultivate garden spot for herself
and family.
2. To see to it that every vacant
parcel of land in the neighborhood in
which she lives is converted into gar.
den spot.
urge every wenaan-in the. state to
join some active canning and drying
club to the end that everything may
be saved and nothing be lost. Last
year the women canned and dried
eighteen times as much fruits and veg
etables as they did the year before.
This is a glorious record. Double it.
call to the colors every boy and
girl between the ages of twelve and
twent-one. I urge every one of you
to join the Corn, the Pig and the Poul-
try Clubs. In so doing you will become
an essential part of the army that
must win the war.
If these reserves shall hearken to
this call we will surely win the war
and the victroy so achieved will count
as much for happiness in the coming
years as it will count for success in
this supreme crisis in the world strug-
gle for enduring peace.
T. w. BECKETT, Governor.

WARNING GIVEN TO

Must Not Take Advantage of Shortage
in Other Cereals.

Must Not Take Advantage of Shortage
in Other Cereals.
Washington.-Unw price in.
creases in wheat flour substitutes will
not be permitted. The food admin
istration gave warning to dealers that
they must not take advantage of TEN.
porary shortages in other cereals
brought on by the heavy demand the
new baking regulations has caused.
Many complaints reached Food Ad
ministrator Hoover that dealers in the
substitutes already have begun to lift
their prices.
Mills of the country" said Mr..
Hoover, "are prepared to meet the
greater demand of housewives and
bakers for other. cereals during the
next few months. Lack of transports
tfon is the only factor that will stand
in the way of proper distribution
throughout the country.
AT least one OF the substitutes is
produced in quantity in almost every
part of the country. II any shortages
occur they will be local. The supply
OF substitutes is ample to meet our
needs and it is confidently expected
that with the freer movement OF
grains to the mills and of the finished
product to the consumer lower prices
than those now prevailing will result.
"The normal tendency of local scar
cities would be to advance prices out
OF line with the cost OF production and
distribution. Under the food ccutrol
act this will not happen. ~ licensees
dealing In food commodities who do
not give their customers the benefit
OF fair and moderate prices, selling
at no more than reasonable profit
above cost, will have their licenses
revoked"

HOW MUCH WOOD WOULD
A WOODCUTTER CUT If

Taking white, oak as fairly
typical of the hard woods and
white pine for the soft woods,
the figures below will show ap-
proximately the amount of cord
wood that may be cut from trees
Of different sizes. The figures
will vary considerably with the
extent at which the tops and
branches are utilized and on the
taper of the tree trunks. With
forest-grown trees, utilizing the
branches and tops to about two
inches, these amounts may be
expected:
White Oak.
Ten inches in diameter, SO feet
high, One-sixth to one-seventh of
a cord Is inches in diameter, 60
feet high, about two-fifths Of a
cord; "a inches in diameter, 20
feet high, one and one-f1fth
cords.
White Pine.
Ten inches in diameter, SO feet
high, one-eighth Of a cord; Is
inches In diameter, 60 feet high,
one-third of cord; "A inches in
diameter, 20 feet high, seven
eighths of a cord.

One cord of mixed wood, well sea-
soned, equals in heating, value at least

The most common method Of making
cord wood Is to cut the trees into four
foot lengths with an ak and split the
larger pieces. The pieces are then
piled in q standard cord, which is
eight feet long, four feet high and four
feet wide. The contents are 128. cubic

80 per cent air..

so per cent of the moisture may be

Because of the unusual demand for
cord wood it is believed that the
present time offers unparalleled OPP
portunity not only for farmers to i'm
prove their woodlands by cutting out
the poorer trees and selling them, but
for private and public owners Of
wooded tracts to clear their lands at
a profit. Communities which feel they

to stimulate the cutting Of wood. Such
action may be viewed as part of

a perpetual cup will be purchased and
sum set aside to buy a silver medal to

ment The rest of the fund will be

While the fund was being raised to
buy the golf cup, some Of his friends

for the benefit of the boy, and out OF
this has grown the big idea.
Golfers, cricketers, tennis players and
soccer enthusiasts will receive letters

Middies Back Team to Beat
Great Lakes at
Annapolis
BUTLER MAY NOT START

Annapolis. Nd, Nov. 23.-Overtaxed
with the influx of football-loving
crowd, little Annapolis is aquiver with
the thrill of the greatest gridiorn battle
that has been staged here this season
The game between Great Lakes and
the Naval Academy. which is down
for decision here this afternoon, has
created the greatest enthusiasm shown
since the last Army-Navy engagement.
Each train brings in more visitors, and
the largest crowd of two seasons Is ex-
pected to view the contest between the
Mddies and the much-heralded sailor
eleven from Illinois.
The navy undergraduates are sup
porting their team in a splendid fash
ion, and apparently have the utmost
faith in the ability of their gridiron
fighters to hold off and defeat the eleven
that sprang the football sensation of a
decade by trimming the powerful Rut-
gers aggregation by 81 to IA.
They point out that the onesided VIC
tories of the Middies over the teams
that have opposed them this season
shows the strength of the Dobie attack.
and they believe its force will sweep
Great Lakes's players off their collective
feet.
= The Great Lakes supporters look to
Paddy Driscoll. the remarkable quarter
back OF the West, to turn the tide In
favor Of the sailors. They also claim
that the navy Is weakened by the alb
sence Of Bill Butler, the Philadelphia
boy who formerly starred with the Gen.
trail High.
Butler has been i'll with tonsilitis and
probably will not be able to start, al
though 1t is believed that he will be
inserted into the lineup before the game
is completed
