Coal Economy Needed in Home.

Washington, Sept. 8.-While the
average household heating plant is
reliable. so far as the factor of
Isafety is concerned, this is not al
ways true in economy, says the
bureau of engineering of the de-
partment Of the interior, and in
view Of a possible coal shortage
this winter, the householder will
have to be very economical in its
use.
The engineering bureau has COM
! piled few facts on coal and it's
use, to aid the public until coal
returns to normal production. The
/ main point of the bureaus papers
is the need for economy in burning
| coal. 81
It has been stated by good au-
thority, the paper said, that 25
per cent. of the coal wasted in
home heating can be saved. The
main point in economy is cleanli-
ness Of the plant as SCOT is an in
sulator against transference Of
heat and must be kept out Of the
furnace and pipes.
Soft coal demands greater care
in firing. In putting in fresh coal,
it should not cover all the burning
surface If it does, the gases driv-
en- Off are not ignited and escape.
If the shape of the frebox permits,
oh hn

then as the gases are driven off.
they are ignited over the bright
rear surface and add to the heat.
Later, the coked coal is pushed to
the back of the surface and fresh
coal again applied to the front. In
the case OF round heaters, it was
said, spread the coal on the lower
side only and the gases will be con-
sumed by the heat on the ether.
The crates should be left in a fiat
position, no part protruding into
the fire, the department said, the
ash pit should be kept clean, as
ashes cut off the air supply, which
may cause the crates TO warp OF
burn out, A bed Of ashes should
be kept on top of the CRATES to
prevent burning out. reducing it in
size as the weather grows colder,
and should never be shaken until
live Goals fall out There should
be a check draft-damper in the
smoke pipe of the hot air, steam
or hot water heating plants or
kitchen ranges, beside the turn
danper, to control the.>rate at
which the fuel burns it to increase
draft All heat pipes In the cellar
should be covered to conserve heat,
and the use of weather strips,
storm windows and storm doors
about the house Will be valuable.
Place pans or open-top jars of
water on radiators or in front of
registers to keep air in home moist.

Cheaper Freight Rates
DIR. w. w. Long Announces
Statewide Campaign

Florence. Sept. 1.-PianS TO pro-
cure cheaper railroad rates on ag-
ricultura1 products for the farm
ers Of South Carolina We're an
nounced here today by DR.. ". W.
Long Of Clemson college, director
Of the extension service Of this
state. In Charleston tomorrow he
will open a campaign, which will
be statewide in it's scope and cul-
inmate in the formation Of a
South Carolina shippers league to
take the. case eventually to Wash
ington. All the civic and COM
mercial organizations Of South
Carolina, including Kiawanis. Rot
ary, and Chambers of Commerce,
are to be enlisted in the project.
Il am not fighting the railroads.
DR.. Long emphasized, when outlin-
ing his plans here today. But we
hope, before finishing this work, to
show them where their rates in
this state on agricultural products
are too high. And we hope further
to have their cooperation in ar
irving at fair and equitable rates,
which will put us on parity with
other states in going to market
with our produce"
Already DR.. Long has compiled
voluminous data, which he believes
reflects that the rates on South
Carolina produce are too high. For
instance, Paul Sanders, of Ritter,
shipped % cars Of cabbage. He got
$4,000 for this cabbage and paid
the railroad $4,000 for its services
two and one-half times the pro-
ceeds to the producer. The Mutual
Trading Company. of Blaekville,
shipped a carload of cantaloupes
to Boston and had to pay $3.50
for freight Another shipment, of
cucumbers by the same company.
soldf or $3.50 and netted the rail-
road s194. He has large files Of
such instances as these, where the
quality and pack of the product
were undisputed He believes the
freight rates are absorbing too
much OF the difference in the gross
price and the net price to the pro-
ducer.
Supporting the contentious OF
DR.. Long that the freight rates
out of this state on agricultural
products are too high, he has let
ters from reliable concerns in Phil
adelphia, Baltimore, Greenville.
Boston, Washington, Buffalo, New
York, and other big market CEN
ters. who say positively that they
cannot possibly sell South Carolina
produce with any fair percentage
Of profit to the producer because
Of the high freight rates.
Just as soon as the proper inter- /
ests Of the state are aroused to the !
situation, DR.. Long wants to get |
he organization to carry out the
contest of the rates. Attorneys
will be employed and the matter |
carried before the congressional
delegation in Washington and
thence to the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
In the interim comparative rates |

states, notably Georgia and Flor
