A cord of hardwood has fuel value
equal to two-thirds Of ton Of hard
coal.
Stumps should be cut as low as pos
sible to avoid waste and save future
trouble.
All wood large enough to be made
into stove wood should be used. Split
wood small enough so that one man
can load 1t on wagon.
Pine should be split smaller than
hardwood SO that 1t may dry out quick
ly. Hardwood burns fairly well even
when green.
In cutting original growth forests,
utilize old trees which are not fit for
lumber
Cut small trees Of the poorer species.
Cut all dead, diseased, dead-topped.
and otherwise inferior material.
The wood lot will be the better for
the removal of old trees which have
stopped making growth, and of Scared
trees and stunted growths.
Leave trees that are more valuable
for lumber, ties. or other salable prod
|.ucts than they are for cordwo0d.
Leave your thrifty trees of the bet
ter species below 10 inches in diameter
for the future crop.
Pile wood so that air can circulate
freely through the pile.

THE WORLD SHORTAGE
of LIVE STOCK

A census of cattle in France
reveals decrease of IL per
cent in beef animals, 38 per cent
in sheep and 40 per cent in hogs
since December 81, 1918. Italy
has suffered a loss of 81 per
cent of horses. IS per cent for
mules, and s per cent for swine.
No one can even guess what the
decrease In Germany, Austria,
and Russia has been, but it must
be enormous. According to a re-
liable estimate the decrease Of
live stock in all Europe is equal
to one-half the amount of live
stock in America today. This
estimate places the loss at 100.-
100000 head.

Cured at a Cost of rs Gents.

Eight years ago when we first
moved to Nation, was a great
sufferer from indigestion and con-
stipation," writes Mrs. Robert Alli-
son, Nation, Ill. II had frequent
headaches and dizzy spells, and there
was feeling like heavy weight
pressing on my stomach and chest
all the time / felt miserable.
Every morsel of food distressed me.
I could not rest at night and felt
tired and worn out all the time. One
bottle of Chamberlain's Tablets
cured me and have since felt like
a different person."

Who Benefits by High Prices?

You feel that retail meat prices are too
high.
Your retailer says he has to pay higher
prices to the packers.
Swift & Company prove that out of
every dollar the retailer pays to the
packers for meat, 2 cents is for packers
profit, Is cents is for operating expenses
and IS cents goes to the stock raiser; and
that the prices of live stock and meat
up and down together. HI
The livestock raiser points to rising sf
costs of raising live stock
Labor reminds that higher wages M
must go hand in hand with the new cost
of living.
No one, apparently, is responsible. No
one apparently, is benefited by higher
prices and higher income
We are all living on high-priced scale.
One trouble is that the number OF dollars
has multiplied faster than the quantity of
goods so that each dollar buys less than
formerly.
