WAYS TO SAVE
FUEL OIL GIVEN
Ration Board Advises Fuel Oil
Consumers To Use Care
and Save Fuel
WATCH THERMOSTAT

The War Price and Ration Board
here gives the following advice to
users of fuel oil, rationed since the
first of October, in order to assure
the efficiency of every heating
plant: 1. Have your oil burner it
self cleaned, fabricated and adjust
ed, and all controls carefully check
ed by an expert service man. 2.
Clean your furnace and chimney
fiues. Although a messy job, you
can do much of it yourself with a
stiff wire brush. However, this is
a simple and inexpensive job for a
service man with proper equipment.
Accumulated SCOT in the furnace
keeps heat from reaching the boil
er and wastes fuel. g. Install an
automatic stack draft control. This
helps to reduce the amount of heat
lost up the chimney. Cost is little,
results considerable. If you have
such control, have its operation
checked. 4. See that your furnace
and any pipes through the cellar
are insulated. If you are handy,
you can buy insulating material
and apply it yourelf. Keep the
heat in steam or water until it
gets to the radiators. 5. Insulate
your hot water storage tank. An
other quite simple job you can do
yourself. To save fuel without ex-
pense start your burner as late in
the season as you can without ex-
IRENE discomfort or danger to
health. Every day saved now
means warmth later when it's
really cold.
Thermostat Lower
Keep your thermostat down to
the wartime" minimum, even low
er if your family's health and COM
fort will permit. It's up to you to
make your fuel allotment last. Set
the thermostat down an extra 10
to Is degrees at nivht and at any
time while you're out of the house
for long periods. Keep window
shades down at night, and as much
as possible on shady sides of the
house in daytime. Dead air pock-
eted between shades and window
panes saves a lot of heat ordinarily
lost by radiation through the win
doWs.
Shut Off Rooms
Don't heat unused rooms this
Winter. Shut them off and shut
off or disconnect radiators in them.
Watch your doors and windows.
Close bedroom doors at night, if
windows are open. Don't open
windows needlessly wide at night.
Keep windows and doors closed at
all times as much as possible. When
you do air a room, close the door
and turn off the heat. Watch your
cellar temperature. If it is notice
ably warm you are wasting heat
where nobody needs it. If your
cellar is too warm, find out why
and correct it. Keep Replace fiues
closed except when actually in use.
You can lose a lot of heat up an
open chimney.

.SOYBEAN CROP
in KENT COUNTY
Expect Sufficient StOrag e
Space Will Not Be Avail
able to Farmers
FARMERS GIVEN AID

Along with the harvesting of the
soybean crop this fall the farmers
of Kent county are confronted with
the problem of marketing and stor-
ing their soybeans in view of the
increased acreage which was plant
ed last spring and the prospects for
a good yield this year throughout
this section of the country. For
soybeans which will grade No. 2 OF
better the federal government has
guaranteed price to the producer
of $1.60 per bushel for yellow va
rieties, and $1.40 per bushel for
black beans, but indications are
that sufficient storage space will
mot be available in terminal elevat-
ors and warehouses to take care of
all the soybeans produced this year
in the United States. AS the re-
suit of this situation, therefore, it
may be necessary for many farm
ers to store their soybeans on their
own farms or in q nearby local
storage on which there will be an
allowance of z cents a bushel until
April 80, 1913.
Aim to Assist Farmer
According to R. Harry Wilson
Chairman of the Kent County Az
ricultural Conservation Association
and Russell e. Wilson, County
Agent, every effort is being made
to assist farmers to dispose of their
Isoybeans through the regular mar
Iketing channels, but to date it is
very uncertain that all of the 194f
crop can be moved off the farms
due to the limited storage space
Contracts have been made with
local seed buyers who in turn are
endeavoring to arrange with pro-
cessing plants to handle these soy
beans for oil production, and farm
iers will be advised as to the pro-
icedure to follow as soon as a salts
factory marketing plan can be es-
tablished.
Demand For Oil
There is a great demand for soy
beans for oil extraction purposes in
the manufacturing of war MUM
tions, but not all of the crop can be
utilized at one time, so the Com
modify Credit Corporation has en-
courage the storing of soybeans on
farms where this plan is possible
! in order to relieve the storage sit
iuation in warehouses. Farmers
who can find sale for their soy
beans, however, may sell them
without any permit or authorize
ton from the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration, but those
who desire to obtain loans on their
beans should make application tc
the County Agricultural Conserva-
ton committee, and samples will
be taken to determine the grade
and moisture content, also the per-
centage of oil and the general con-
dition of the beans.

 Kiss of Christ
 Since Sister had to leave at l:l5 and was as yet dinneriess when o'clock drew near, and repeated calls were reported from the din- ing room, our Mercy Sisters, true to their name. rescued Sister Rose of Lima. As Sister left the parlor, her eight rapt listeners had a fnaI glimpse of that big smile With which she had enhanced the tell ing of her thrilling story. Her final word was another request for prayers as she proudly told us that her three brothers are in the service. Our feeble efforts to ex- press our appreciation followed her on her way, as our gratitude and prayers will follow her always.
 The WAACs and the WAVES are great organizations. and pro motions and medals are the re- wards Of their bravery. The Maryknoll Sisters do not receive any medals for their yaior on the battlefleIds of the Missions, Their reward is a kiss from Christ when the battle of life Is won.
