COAL WORTH TWICE

heating value one pound OF good coal
may be taken as the equivalent Of two
pounds Of seasoned wood says the
bureau OF standards, department Of
commerce. Allowing so solid cubic feet
Of wood to an average cord and assum-
ing the sticks to be well seasoned a
cord of hickory or other heavy wood is
equivalent in heat value to one ton Of
coal, For lighter woods, as cedar, pop
lar, spruce and white pine, two cords
are equivalent to one ton OF coal.
Equal weights OF dry nonresinous
woods give off practically the same
amount OF heat in burning that is a
ton OF dry cottonwood will give off as
much heat on burning as a ton OF white
oak. Highly resinous woods, like some
Of the pines and frs, have an ap-
probably greater heating value per ton,
because pound Of resin gives off twice
as much heat during combustion as a
pound of wood.
When buying wood by the cord, It
must be remembered that different
species vary greatly in weight ner

has considerably more fuel value than

soned wood contains more wood than

a standard cord Of wood OF the greatest
fuel value, Thoroughly dry wood of the
heaviest kind, straight IN growth, cut
into short lengths and with the largest
diaineters, should be selected. AS q
rule, the softwoods burn more readily
than the hardwoods and the lighter
woods burn more readily than the
heavier ones.

FEDERAL PROBERS
CO INTO LUMBER
Prices Are Not Abnormal
When Compared With What
Other Commodities Cost.

CHICAGO, Dec. lS--In the renewal Of
the investigation Of the lumber indus
try by the federal trade commission
which has been expected for some time.
the commission is completing the work
begun before its creation, by the bu-
reau OF corporations, when investiga-
tons were in progress not only for lum-
Der, but In oil, STEEL sugar and to-
bacco Industries. The oil industry has
been thoroughly examined in 1905 and
later and again following 1912, these
Investigations being made in connec-
ton with the Interpretation and en-
forcement of the Sherman antitrust law
and involving general considerations Of
competition, combinations, price levels.
etc.
In 1913 when the first report on the
lumber industry was published, the com
missioner of corporations, Joseph E.
Davies, said
1T Is the intent and purpose of the
bureau Of corporations acting under the
direction Of the president of the United
States, to make a survey Of the indus
trial field and an intensive investiga-
ton. We shall enter into this investiga-
ton with the sole intent of working out
in scientific and fair-mnded spirit
the facts absolutely as they are"
In reports Of the bureau Of labor sta
tistics October, 1872 the increase In
prices OF lumber and building materials
shows lower per cent over 1913 prices
than do the great groups Of food and of
clothing, and is Is per cent lower than
"all commodities. or the building ma
terials, lumber prices have increased
less an brick, tile and cement, in face
Of the tremendous demand for lumber,
But aside from any question Of prices
and costs, the lumber industry has pc
cuiar problems--its relation to conser-
walton policies, adequate shipping and
transportation facilities because of the
distribution, frequent forced and dis
advantageous cut Of timber by owners
distance Of its product from centers Of
to realize returns, unequal taxation.
The co-opers ton and assistance Of such
body as the federal trade commits
sion will doubtless be helpful In reach
ing wise solution Of these industrial
problems. As Edward n. Hurley, for
merly chairman Of the commission, said
In 1915, less than year after its crea-
ton: 1.-THE federal trade commission
is DESTROYS of being helpful TO business
and ore of the ways in which 1t may
help business Is to gather, collect and
make known the essential data regard
