Use of more word instead of coal would moan that labor now required to operate the mines would be availab'fc for lah'.'i" wartime work. According to Etension Forester Earl G. Maxwell, wood shculd te cut now and piled carefully so that it will be in good condition for use next fall. The wood should be stacked or ricked up on high giouro, pre ferably in an open yard where it is exposed to sun and wind. It should rest on "bed pieces" rather than on the ground. Green, freshly cut wood usually requires 6 months to 1 year of seasoning before it makes satis factory fuel. The fuel value of some species is improved little by season ing, largely because of the small amount of moisture they contain at the time of cutting. Black locust, shagbark hickory and osage orange are among the trees that can be used with a minimum of seasoning. Jesie II. Baldwin, Home Demonstration Agent Wilard H.

Tax Furnace Causes Excitement The smoke from some smoldering sweeping compound sifted around the furnace at the Hinky-Dinky store caused considerable excitement in the business section last night. It seems that some of the com pound used in sweeping the floor had sifted in the course of time down into the furnace lining and this last evening after the close of the regular business hours at the store, started to smoulder and cause a great deal of smoke to accumulate. The smoke attracted the attention of a passerby and an alarm was given. The threat was soon checked by the firemen, but it required some time to get the store free of the smoke. a Ii m !
