VALUE OF SUGAR NAPLES.

In this time of sugar shortage a state that has extensive maple for ests is fortunate. Vermont, for ey- ample, has 12,O0o,0O0 pounds of maple sugar to help along the cause of conservation in 1918. All this is clear gain, and, besides, maple sugar offers the consumer a pleasing va riety. As Vermont apparently made no extra investments in its home sugar industry, the figures are more impressive. Owners of idle land suit able for maple trees ought to be en. couraged to plant sugar orchards. There is always a market for the products of maple sap. Maple wood is valuable for many commercial purposes. No mistake will be made in starting maple forests throughout New England. What is to prevent the systematic planting of thousands of sugar naples in the states east of the Hudson ?-Providence Journal.

COKE AND COAL SHORTAGE,

Seventy per cent more coke than ever before will be available this year to help solve the fuel shortage, according to Electrical Review. This supply will be further in- creased by the development of tar, coke-oven gas and other by-products newly dignificd in wartime as avail able fuels. Pulverizcd coal to at- tain the greatest efficiency is also d subject that is interesting fuel men just HOW. Some of the advantages of pulyerized coal are: The utiliz- ing in every heat unit in the coal; ; the reduction of labor for handling coal; and the maintenance of con- stant temperature in the furnace Scientific American.

UNIFORM PRINCE DIDN'T USE
Max of Baden Intended to Wear It in Triumphal Entry Into Con.
 quered Paris, but

Prince Max of Baden lost his luggage, it appears, ill the Marne retreat after the British offensive in July. The prince was well pro- vided with uniforms to suit all oc- caslons, the grand entry into Paris not excepted. For that day of tri- ulnph very fine uniform, with beautifully chased sword, was espe- cially provided, but it happened that this very uniform fell into the hands of a French soldier, a citizen of Lyons, who sent it to the mayor, NJ. Edouard Herriot. NJ. Hcrriot, with an eye to business, put it up for auction in aid of one of the in- numerable war charities. Possibly uniform, helmet and all will find their way to shelf in the war tro- phies museum of the city of Paris as curiosties.

BE AS BIG AS YOUR JOB.

The national war-labor conference Is a thing of the past. But the spirit of enthusiasm manifested at it's sessions must be thing of the present and the future. It must be carried into every district and state by the district super intendents and state directors who at tended the conference sessions. It must be transmitted to every agent of the employment service and every local agent of the public service reserve. Without it. we cannot put through the tremendous job given to the service the recruiting of the great industrial army without which our valiant army and navy would be helpless. Red tape, q bureaucratic spirit, subservience to local interests, unwllingness to co-Up- erate-these have no place in the United States employment service. The vision of every man and woman connected with the service and the reserves must be as big and broad as the task. and the vision must be made practical by its translation into the daily routine. We have a big job let every one of us be big enough to do his or her part.

Old Clothing Desired for the Relief of the Needy in Europe

A nationwide campaign is be- ing made this week for 1000 tons of old clothing for the relief of the most serious need of millions of men, women and children of northern France, Italy, Czecho- Slovakia, Belgium. Serbia, Rou- mania, Greece and other allied countries.
 Wrangell's share of this amount is 2O00 pounds and a committee consisting of Mrs. Carlson, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Grant, Miss Woods and Mrs. Walker is canvassing the town. The work began Mon- day.
 While garments should be strong and durable, they need not be in perfect condition. The committee wishes it understood that the clothing should be clean, however. Shoes and household linen are needed badly. The city hall is open from 2 to 4 every af- ternoon for the receiving of gar ments. If you have been missed by the committee, remember that there is much to do in a short time and bring anything to the hall that you may have. You will be helping in a good work.

LlTHUANlA TO BE NATION
Aspirations Long Cherished by op- pressed People Seem Now in a
 Fair Way to Be Realized.

\ new and independent Lithu- anian nation will soon assume its position among the nations of Eu- rope, rising up out of the wreck of snbjugated and oppressed state. When the Lithuanian diet, permit ted to reassenble by the Germans, pronounced itself unanimously in favor of the re-cStahllshmcnt of an independent Hthuania. it put into words the hope of every true Lithu- anian.
 One of the new departments of the future Lithuanian state, which will be virtually the center of the coming independent government, was established at this meeting of the diet. It is known as the "state council" or ''taryba." This "state. council" has under its control such important matters as public educa- tlon, religion, finance, commerce and industry, justice, police, etc. Since the time of its formation it has been ratified independently and on neutral ground by Lithuanian organizations in Russia, America, Sweden and Switzerland.

Back in the early days at Camp Shelby, Hattiesburg. Miss, dress uniforms were not SO plentiful as they are now. Things y'ere just get ting organized. There was one young man who had been able to get a dress uniform. however. and while the rest of his friends from Indianapolis were waiting the arrival of theirs he very kindly lent his whenever an occasion demanding the best clothes soldier had arose.

CARE FOR DISABLED
Government to Look Out for
War Heroes.
Arrangements Made to Provide voea-
tionaI Training for All
Soldiers.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Sam is going to
do more for his disabled soldiers and
seamen than any nation ever did,. and
the arrangements to care for the nearly
two hundred thousand men disabled
in battle or through disease or acci-
dent in camp are near completion.
When this army returns there will be
no need for public charity which might
mar self-respect.
The federal board of vocational edu-
cation, operating under the vocational
rehabilitation act, will restore health,
and In the case Of permanent injury
teach trades that may be followed.
During the process the pupils living
will be paid, he will receive a wage
and in addition his dependents will be
paid an allowance.
But it is for the decision of the sol
der or seaman and his relatives
whether he elects to take the course.
When the course is completed the
board will obtain suitable employment
and keep an eye on the man so that
his interests may be guarded. The
status Of the man during the period
of training is described as follows:
"The amount of monthly compensa-
ton paid will be equal to the sum to
which he is entitled under the war
insurance act, or a sum equal to the
pay of his last month in the service,
which ever is the greater; but in no
case will single man or man living
apart from his dependents receive less
than $50 per month, inclusive of the
sum paid dependents, and a man liv-
ing with his dependents receive less
than SIS per month inclusive of the
sum paid to the dependents.
'The man whose disability does not
prevent him from returning to employ.
ment without training will be given
the course of vocational training
which he chooses.
"The taking of the course of train
ing or the actual earning power of the
man will not in any way affect his
compensation. Upon completion Of
his course he will continue to receive
the compensation prescribed by the
war risk insurance and as long as his
disability continues"
Men in service or their relatives
should make inquiries at once. They
may address communications to the
federal board Of vocational educa-
ton, Washington, ID. c., or to any Of
the IA district Offices located through
out the country.
