WANT TO INCREASE
HOUSE HEAT SUPPLY?
HERE'S THE REMEDY

If there is anyone in Bemidji who
would like to learn how to improve
the heating supply Of their hot air
furnace, they should write for the
bulletin, Technical Paper No. 2OS, on
How to Improve the Hot Air Fur
=nace," to- the director of the bureau
of mines, Washington, D. c., copy
Of which has been received at the
office of the Pioneer. "<
Says the bulletin, in part: with
the wintry weather coming on, the
bureau of mines, department OF the
interior, offers a novel scheme to
householders1 using hot-air furnaces
to not only obtain greater heat from
their furnaces, put also to~save from
20 to 80 per cent of their COAL
THE bureau suggests that it is ex-
tremely wasteful of coal and also
comfort to follow the almost uni
versal plan in hot-air furnaces of
having the cold-air duct connected
with the outside of the house during
severe weather 1t 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 air from the outside and sub
stituting another air duct from the
inside of the house where the air has
been somewhat heated" ".>.~-'t

They say it was not part Of the

France made a short talk to those
who grouped around. civilians hav-

The perfect Of Nancy spoke, and
the general Of the Polish division,
and they shook hands all around.
Then some noticed some American
officers, bystanders, who had slip

impulse and enthusiasm the Yankees
were pulled into the ceremony,
which consisted OF wildly shaking
hands with everyone.
Being short on French words to
express themselves, and this part OF
the ceremony was in French, the
Americans followed happy hunch
to shout, "Vivp la POlogno.' The
words were magic and it was
mighty "Vive la Pologne' that rang
out from that beautiful Stanislas
square in Nancy.
The official ceremony wass on
hillside east and north Of Nancy.
Here three natty regiments of in

shining bayonets and spotless equip

three sides of an alter built out in
the open. On the fourth side were
the machinegun companies and
group of mounted soldiers.
In the center around the alter
were some Polish priests, and
group Of officials and officers who
conducted the ceremony. Overhead
group Of French aviators swooped
and dived. grazing less than ten feet
from the heads of soldiers.
AS the United Press car pulled a.

private shouted, "Hulla, Americans,

With the American troops in
France, Oct. 20. (By Mail.)-Polish
falcons, more than half Of whom are
from America, have won the ad-
miration of armies in Europe by
their consistent service. Recently
the French honored these Poles, In
an impressive ceremony in Lorraine,
when the entire division swore al
legiance to the allies.
The Polish falcons are volunteers,
serving on the same basis as the
other members Of Frances foreign
legion. -All-the Poles from America
could have Joined the American
army. but chose to serve in the Pol
ish legion at cents a day, and to
fight as Poles for an Independent
Poland The division Is commanded
by an Austrian general.
After their training in the rear
areas of France. the Poles had their
first taste of front line service in the
hills of Alsace Just before the last
German offensive Of the spring, they
were brought to the Champagne
sector, where they fought side by
side with the American Rainbow
division
The Yankee troops were delighted
to find most Of these lively and op-
timistic fighters in blue uniforms
and square topped caps spoke good
American slang, and the Poles were
open in their enthusiasm at being
with doughboys Since then the
Polish division has been in con-
tinuous service in several sectors.
The Lorraine ceremony was a fit
ting climax to a hard summers fight
ing. It began with a breakfast on
Place StanisIas, Nancy, at which
President Poiucaire of France,
numerous French nOtableS, and a
number Of French officers were pre-
sent
The door Of the breakfast room

COAL FAMINE;
EXISTS HERE, is
.N0TICECIVENBY
FUEL DIRECTOR
Anthracite Fails to Arrive as
Ordered; Little Possibility
of Supply ..... 4.
BATTLES TELLS PEOPLE Il
WHAT THEY MAY EXPECT
Any Coal Arriving for Dealers
to Be Prorated; Use Of
Other Fuel Urged !.

I Straight from the shoulder, Charles
E. Battles, federal fuel administrator
of Beltrami county, speaks to. anth-
racite coal users of Bemidii, and
what he has to say he hopes the con
sumers will take seriously and act
accordingly.
Coal dealers of Bemidji have re,
ceived about 25 per cent Of their
hard coal orders. Consumers who
placed their coal orders early
expecting to be taken care of have
in some instances, received theil
order, others have received part OF
the number of tons asked for, while
others are still minus what they had
desired and there is little or no pro
spect of the orders being filled as
was expected.
State Director Explains.
The state fuel administrator has
written Mr.. Battles, who had sent
an inquiry as to what Bemidji could
expect. The reply was to the effect
that in Minnesota fully 250 dealers
in cities and towns had received not
a pound of hard coal and that it was
up to Bemidji to be satisfied with
what it could get.
That's it in a nutshell, and Mr.
Battles urges all househo lders to
secure other fuel and make arrange.
ments to get through the winter, and
do so Immediately.
Warning To Consumers.
In this connection, he issues the
following to the consumers of anthra-
cite coal:
"Owing to conditions that
have existed this season, we are
limited on our supply of hard
coal in all sizes and no doubt
only about twenty-five per cent
is available for Bemidji, and
there is little hope of our get
ting more hard coal at present.
"There is soft coal and bri-
quets to be~had and you are ad-
vised to secure these fuels for
your needs or make arrange
ments for wood.
In case hard coal ShoUld
come to Bemidji it will be dis
tributed equally to those need
ing it.
eve are advised that 25O
dealers in Minnesota have not
received any coal, and no as}
surance Of relief"
VIII Prorate Supply.
Mr.. Battles has also received an
order from the fuel administration
to distribute any coal that might ar
rive for dealers. He is to check up
the orders placed and pro rate the
coal as deemed necessary, and all
orders placed hereafter will be
checked up and investigated before
being filled.

EVEN BREAK IN FIRST
EAST VS.. WEST GAMES
Each Contingent Of National and
American Leagues Win 81 Games
in Sectional Clash.

The first intersectional clash Of the
season in the two major leagues has
been completed-with rather aston
fshing results in both leagues. In the
National League the west has Sc

gin of victory was not very wide.
thanks to the poor showing of the
st. Louis team. which counterbalanced
the splendid strength Of the Cincin-
natl club and the pleasing display
made by the Chicago and Pittsburgh
teams. AS it was. only Cincinnati and
Chicago look better than ever.
For the east, the amazing thing was
the reversible showing of the Giants,
who went west with an overwhelming
lead and returned home with lead of
only one game on the runner-up, Chi
cago. Philadelphia also was quite
disappointment, running the Brooklyn
club close race for the tail-end
honors.
The great surprise and leading fea-
ture of the entire trip was the Won
derful showing of the erstwhile
despised Boston team, which made a
record on the road commensurate
with Cincinnati's great showing at
home. The trip began on May
10 and ended on May 2s. on the
whole trip ffty-six games were
played, eleven games were postponed
and one game was tied. OF these
fifty-six games the west won thirty
while the east captured twenty-six.

In the American League there were
also astonishing results. Only the Bos-
ton team ran true to form, while the
Athletics and St. Louis furnished the
agreeable surprises. and Washington
and Detroit furnished the greatest dis
appointments. This leads to an almost
even decision of the series between the
sections. whereas the western contin-
gent had been deemed the strongest.
OF the eastern teams. Boston made
a showing which overshadowed both
sections. and this left the team well
intrenched in the lead. New York
also did fairly well with better than
an even break against the strong
western teams. Washington made a
very poor showing and Jared by far
the worst Of the eastern clubs.
st. Louis furnished the great sur
prise for the west. making a showing
for that section but little inferior to
that Of Boston for the east. Cleve-
land just saved its skin by breaking
little better than even. The great
est and most surprising disappoint-
ments were the world champion Chi
cago White Sox and the once power

The trip began on May 10 and ended
on May %, with a total of fifty-eight
games played. nine postponed and one

east won thirty-one games and the
west twenty-seven. The complete trim
