Saving of Fuel to Light
 Coal Stove Fire at Top

Although a coal fire always burns better, especially at the start. when lighted from the bottom. it has been found to be much more economical of coal if the paper and kindling wood are placed above the coal, says Popular Mechanics. A few small coals and cinders are spread over the top of the kindling wood to enable coal fire to be started. After the top layer begins to burn properly the fire will spread slowly downward if the air draft is right. This method secures the most complete combustion because the gases from the unburned coal at the bottom must pass through the burning layer at the top, and thus become completely burned. It is admittedly harder to build and control this kind of fire, but the sav' fuel often justifies

United States Leads All Other Nations of World

Steamships under the American flag now comprise PAS per cent of the steam tonnage of the world, the United states shipping board announced.
 "Today this nation has more ship workers. more shipyards, more ship ways, more vessels under construc' tion, and is turning them out more rapidly and in greater number than now issue from all the shipyards of all the world" the statement says.
 up to the outbreak of the war we had only 15 vessels of 1000 tons and . over in overseas trade. Today the American flag floats from 1,280 ocean. going steamships, 1,107 of which have been built within the last two years

Victory, "Dead Sea Fruit"-
 Defeat Spells Disgrace

Leaving baseball, football and box. ing aside there is no longer great disparity between woman's and mans athletic prowess. But whether the woman should be permitted to compete with the men in the golf, tennis, shoot ing and other championships is debat- able ground. If the men oppose it one can hardly blame them, for it must be years before victory over woman will be regarded as anything but "Dead sea fruit" and defeat as any thing but disgrace.

SILVER TO FOLLOW LAW OF SUPPLY
 AND DEMAND

Speaking of the silver situation, Frank J. Price says in the New York Morning Telegraph of recent date:
 Just why the present value of sil- yer should be considered a joke in Park Row sanctums, or why it should stir the disabilities of editors, is some thing that no sane person, with real desire to see our international curren- cy relations stabilized can understand. Because silver has reached a point that makes it worth even more than one-sixteenth of its weight in gold, we encounter such banal jokes as: Boy, please page William J. Bryan; Coin Harvey's School May Now Re- open; Sacred Ratio Reached
 In the campaign of 1896, when Bryan was running for President on an illogical platform, it was hard to determine which was the greater ass, the 'gold-bug' who could not under stand that silver is adapted to coinage in any circumstances, or the free sll- verite who insisted that parity could be maintained with an arbitrary and disproportionate ratio fixed by law.
 Those who understand the science of exchange, the function of money and why it was created, never for a moment contended that silver was ill., adapted to commerce as a medium for the estimation of values. The farth- est the most conservative of them went in demanding the retention of a single standard was to say that with the market value of the two metals so far apart even an approximate par ity could not be maintained, and that, in addition to this, Europe was on a gold basis, which made it economically necessary for us to retain the law of 1873. The fact that the world quar- ter of a century ago did not need its surplus silver for money purposes was also factor, probably the controlling factor.
 But all this is changed. The mar ket value of silver has gone to a price where it can conveniently be used as medium of international exchange whether by weight or according to 'ts mint stamp; Europe no longer is on 8 gold basis, or any kind of basis, al though Great Britain affects to be and, if the convenience of the count ing-house and market place is consid cred, every ounce of silver in the world-and more than is in the worl' is essential to reconstruction, rehab ilitation and restoration of places made waste by the war.
 The silver situation does not call fol jest. It is a serious object lesson suggestive of way out. Europe ha discovered this, hence her drafts upoi the silver centers. The sooner we dis cover it the better.
 Silver will go higher than the pres ent quoted price, notwithstanding oc casional reactions like that of Tues day. It will go higher, and the high CT it goes the better it will be adapte' to the office it is to perform. An the reason it will go higher is be cause it is needed in the present pos ture of world affairs. The law o supply and demand is doing it's work.

The Methodist church is reported
to have asked D. w. Griffith to act
as an adviser in a countrywide plan
to introduce motion pictures into al
churches of this denomination
Speaking for the church, DR.. Refs
ner says: "The time has come for
the church to enlist the best brains
Of the world and the most effective
forces of education and entertain
ment. For that reason we are after
d. w Griffith and motion pictures"
And continuing he says: eve rec
ognize motion pictures as the most
powerful medium for general enter
fairwert :'r1 education"
All of which is as liberal and en-
lightened as his statement: "By the
church | mean all Christians, and
further all who worship God"
When this spirit prevails generally
there will be no antagonism between
motion pictures and the church; there
will be no reason for the church to
oppose Sunday theatres; and the
church viii fulfill its true function
in the community.
May we also point to Canon Chase
and MIR. Crafts that DR.. Reisner Sc
ects an advisor, not censor; and
we assume he would object most SER
ously to having the development of
ne "most powerful medium for gen
raj entertainment and education" put

THE CITY ELECTION.

=. Sometimes it is we'll for a city or
neighborhood to have friendly
scrap" as Moscow had yesterday. 1t
does much good, sometimes, to arouse
the fighting spirit in men and re-
awaken their interest in municipal
affairs
But the election closed last night.
1t is now history. Moscow will go
on, forward. She cannot stand still
and must either go forward or back
ward, and we are certain the splendid
men and women of the city will not
permit the city to go backward.
J. G. Gibson was elected mayor
and he is tour" mayor-yours and
mine-and it is our duty to support
him just as it was our duty to support
Mayor Truitt in the past two years
and would have been our duty to sup
port him during the coming two years
had he been elected. Both Mayor
Truitt and Mayor-elect Gibson are
good men, they are pioneers, respon-
sible citizens and the city could not
lose by choosing either of them. Each
was supported by some OF the very
best men and women in Moscow, and
Gibson won. He defeated Mayor
Truitt, a good man, who had given
the city splendid administration, by
a narrow margin, just as Mayor
Truitt defeated Mr.. Gibson, two years
ago, after Gibson had given the city
a good administration. The contest
was fair and open. In such victory
is honor-in such defeat, no dis
grace.
Carl Smith, councilman for the
Third ward, has reason to feel proud |
of the vote given him in yesterdays
election. Running as an independ-
ent candidate upon petition OF his
friends and neighbors and the voters
IN his ward, he received a higher vote
than any candidate on any ticket who
had an opponent in the election. This
is a high compliment to Mr.. Smiths
ability and integrity and shows how
his constituents regard him.
- - "a
Mayor Truitt has no reason to feel
ashamed of the vote given him yes
terday. He has given the city a good
administration and among his loyal
supporters were many of the best
men in Moscow, who have known him
for quarter of century. No high
er compliment can be paid a public
official than the loyal support and
of such men.
Didn't Mr.. Parsons say in recent
that it is difficult to
get good men to run for municipal
offices in Moscow? 1t looks like that
statement needs revising, for there
were 16 mighty good men running
and almost fighting for these posi-
tons yesterday
Genesee gave 291 votes for the is
sue of $4,000 bonds for her high :
way district, to only 33 votes against

more progressive town than Moscow?
