Wood Up.
randolph Herald. J

4 good way to conserve coal is to stock
up with wood. The use of coal in YER
mont. while a very great convenience,
isn't an absolute necessity. From long
years of dependence upon it we have
grown to think we must have it or we
shall freeze during the severe winter.
Our homes, offices and factories are
rugged up for it; in fact, constructed for
coal heating. Large buildings, furnace
or steam-heated, can be handled with
coal much easier and more economically
than with wood.
But if we can't get coal and must re-
sort to wood It can be done. and like
many other things forced by necessity
viii probably work out better than ex-
pected Most of us heat too large quar-
ters and keep them too warm anyway
We can pull together" and take up less
room for living and business. Using
30 or 40 tons of coal to keep two or
three people warm is an extravaganza
anyway and ought to be restricted in the
interest of the public.
Wood and oil heating stoves can be
employed to very great saving of coal,
especially during the fall and spring,
when moderate weather permits. Mod
ern extensive plumbing may suffer un-
less adjusted to meet the more severe
test. 1t will not be so comfy" every
where as we have been accustomed to
have it by the free use of coal, but it
can be endured. Our grandfathers lived
in this climate many winter with only
a wo0dburning fireplace to heat their
loosely-built homes. They wore more
warm clothing-and we shall have to if
fuel runs short. OF course we shall have
to sacrifice something in comfort and the
prospect is not pleasing, but if it becomes
a necessity it viii be surprising how
readily we shall accommodate ourselves
to it. Meanwhile, as aforesaid. lay in
wood. 1t will come handy even if coal
can be had later, and nobody need ex-
pect it along early this year.

The new policy is aimed to restore
the tagging spirits of 50 per cent of the
tuberculosis and mental cases in the 30
hospitals now managed by the veterans
bureau. Virtually all of them are well
enough to walk around and to worry
about their future because they do not
have enough to do, Colonel Forbes said.

Harding soon and he expects executive
approval.
Colonel Forbes said 1--WE expect to
keep these student patients on the same
pay status IS they are at present. Our
only object Is to get the veterans away
from the conventional hospital as soon
as possible. There is no use restoring

Washington, Aug. 1j.-The strik-
ing shOpcraft leaders voted unanim-
Ously to reject President Harding's
second compromise proposal to end
the rail strike. it was revealed today
when the union heads made public
their reply to the Presidents move to
end the rail strike.
The report stated that the second
proposal, ''is impracticabIe and would
create a disastrous condition because
of the seniority status of the employ
ees."
The position of the strike leaders
is that The strikers cannot return
without guarantees of unimpaired
seniority rights, as provided in the
Harding compromise proposal on July
81, which the shop craft leaders ac-
cepted.
Washington, Aug. 15.--Congress to
day was ready 10 help President Hard
ing fight for a termination of the twin
rail and coal strikes whish now stand
out as comprising the most critical
industrial situation in the last decade.
The House recoHvened after
months recess, with members just
back from their home districts de-
manding prompt action to meet the
situation and pledging their support
to any move the President might make
to meet the emergency.
Sentiment among many of the re
turning members particularly those
from the districts which have been hit
hardest by the strike was that the fed
eral government soon must seize the
railroads to protect the peoples in
terest unless ths crippled states Of the
nations transportation systems can
be relieved.
Congress is looking to the executive
to make complete report on his et-
forts thus far to settle the strikes and
TO submit any LEGISLATION he desires.
Whether Mr.. Hardinr will appear be-
fore Congress within the next few days
has not been definitely decided upon.
