Fair Prices for Wood as a
Coal Substitute.

piled in a standard cord, which is 8
feet long, A feet high and 4 feet wide.
The contents are 1913 cubic feet, Of
which about 20 per cent is wood and
80 per cent air. Wood cut feet long
can be sold to brickyards, limekilns,
Woodworking plants and other indus
tries, but is too large for household
use.
Another method, and one better
adapted for old growth hardwoods,
which are difficult to split, is to saw
the tree into logs of convenient lengths,
say from 10 to Is feet. These are
"snaked'' out to the edge of the wood
land and there sawed and split into
lengths proper for the stove or fur
mace. The saving is usually done by
machine, driven either by gasoline or
by electricity. The wood is piled
feet high and s feet long, such a pile
being called a "stove-wood" or run
ming" cord or ''run." When the wood
is sawed into 16-inch lengths, as is
customary with stove material, three
runs are theoretically equivalent to
one cord.
Wood Profitable Farm Crop.
/ Firewood is expected to bring bet
ter profit this year than ever before.
1t is a much less perishable crop than
many which the farmer raises. When
properly piled, the better kinds Of
wood will last from two to three years,
although wood steadily deteriorates
! after the first year.
To have the best heating value, as
we'll as to reduce the cost of hauling,
wood should be thoroughly seasoned,
which means air-drying it from six to
eight months. However, when piled so
as to get a good circulation of air, so
| per cent of the moisture may be re-
moved in three months. Wood cut in
| October and November, therefore, may
be burned the latter part of the winter.
The prices which cordwood likely
will bring this year offer the farmer
an opportunity to improve his wood
land by wedding out the inferior trees.
In the past this has seldom been prac-
ticable, for the inferior wood was not
marketable. With the prices indicated
for the coming winter, Trimmings be-
come practicale'e over q wider range OF
country in the vicinity of good mar
kets. The woodland owner may secure
specific information from his state
forester, his county agent. his state
agricultural college, or from the Unit
ed States forest service, Washington.

PHYSICALLY COMPETENT, NOR
ALLY FIT

Under this title Daniel A. Polling
tells in the Outlook of his investiga-
lions at the front and his conclusions.
We quote:
III believe that not only know
what the American soldier does In
France, but that / begin to know
what he is.
''He is representative American.
And he is living on a moral plane
which is above the moral plane of
civilian life at home. Our leaders
In France have not conquered the
vices society has battled against from
She first organized beginnings of civili-
cation; but If the American expedi-
tionary force is not setting an exam
pie in moral ideaIlsm to American
civilian life. then 1 have walked
through France with NY eyes closed
and my ears stopped.
"When you see one soldier under
the influence Of liquor, do not con-
clude that the army is drunk 1t is
at least suggestive that in three
months spent in England and France,
associated with tens of thousands of
soldiers, did not see a single sol
der officer or private, under the in
Guence of liquor in the streets.
Il found the American in uniform
building up about himself a wall of
protection in the very attitude he Is
assuming toward the moral excesses
practiced by the few. He is resent
ing the indulgence that causes his
country's civilization to be misjudged;
he is discipling his comrade who by
taking improper and forbidden llber-
ties endangers the freedom of others;
he shows a distinct pride in the fact
that American physical and moral
standards are high. believe that for
every man in the army that Is moral
ly destroyed, at least five men are
morally born again. We have spent
much time in discussing the vast task
of keeping our men fit to return to
us when the war is over, and it is
time we'll spent. But there is another
matter quite as mportant-America
must be made and kept fit for these
men to return to.
"The American soldier has no rum

control of American authorities liquor

included-is not available.

ground. The main was finished before
the argument was terminated.
LESS than three hours after re-
cent raid hot coffee was served to the
men. even to the last observation post.
The genius of the American army in
furnishing itself nonalcoholic drinks
has astonished the French and elected
their praise.
General Pershing and those who
are in authority with him in France
deserve, not a resolution Of inquiry or
censure, bul vote of confidence with
the assurance of our cooperation and
support"
