Rulers With Business instincts.

At the outset of his imperial career
the grandfather of the former German
kaiser, Frederick William, owed his
accumulation of money to his COM
mercial dealings. One Of his CONNER
cial undertakings was to start milk
rounds, which did exceedingly well, in
spite of being carried on sub rosa, for
the German courtiers found that the
imperial favor was dependent upon
their patronizing the imperial dairy.
In this way the old emperor created
. huge milk monopoly in various cities.
and reaped correspondingly large
profit. Kaiser Wilhelm himself had
keen commercial instincts, and had a
finger in most of the big German un-
dertakings. In Germany it was cur
rently reported that Balm was mere

Wood for Fuel Should
Be Sold By the Pound

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 12-
Wood for fuel should be sold by
weight instead of by cord measure,
for the heating value depends not up
on the bulk Of the wood but upon it's
weight, say foresters of the United
States Department of Agriculture. A
pound of dry wood Of one species has
about as much heating value as a
pound of any other species, but two
cords may vary 100 per cent in their
value for heating.
1t is the custom to sell hard woods
and soft woods at slightly different
prices because of differences in heat
ing values. This is only a superficial
classification, however, as two species
of hard woods may have heating val
ues widely different. Where hard
woods and soft woods are mixed to-
gether without regard to the proper
ton of each, the values may be so
different that one man may, for the
same money, buy twice as much heat
ing value as another. The shape and
size of the sticks may also cause great
variation in the actual amount of
wood substance, and therefore of
fuel. If weight were the measure,
the species, shape and size of sticks
would make little difference, provid-
ed the wood were thoroughly sea-
soned. 1t would be necessary, how
ever, to fix certain standards as to
time of seasoning of wood, the spec
| ialists say.
