Farmers who own woodlands
people in cities, towns and villages
who can purchase wood from nearby
farms can help in the coming winter—
as last winter—to relieve the demand
for coal and the strain on railway
capacity by burning wood in place of
coal.
It is not expected substitution of
wood for coal will be complete or uni-
versal, as for manjT purposes coal is
much more convenient. But for heat-
ing many kinds of buildings wood is
the more convenient and ffEeL
This is particfitgrly true in the case of

tice.
The illustration shows the utiliza-
tion of wood at Camp,. Meigs, near
Washington. The power cut-up saw
shown is the standard machine used
by the army at various camps, and has
a capacity of about 15 cords of four-
foot wood cut into 18-inch lengths in a
day of six and one-half hours. Wood
was the only fuel used at Camp Meigs
when the picture was taken. In the
winter coal is used to heat the bar-
racks, but wood alone is used in cook-

Relative Heating Values.
In heating value, one standard cord
of well-seasoned hickory, oak, beech,
birch, hard maple, ash, elm, locust, or
cherry is approximately equal to one
ton (2,000 pounds) of anthracite coal.
But a cord and a half of soft maple,
' and tw'o'c.wds of cedar, poplar or bass-
wood are required to give the same
amount of heat. One cord of raided
wood, well seasoned, equals in heat-
ing value at least one ton of average-
grade bituminous coal.
In the accompanying table is indi-
cated the price the consumer can af-
ford to pay for a cord of wood as the
equivalent of anthracite coal at vari-
ous pricey.
Methods of Making Cordwood.
The most common method of making
cordwood ib to cut the trees into four-
foot lengths with the ax and spilt the
larger pieces. The pieces are then
piled in a standard cord, which is 8
feet long, 4 feet high and 4 feet wide.
The contents are 128 cubic feet, of
which about 70 per cent is wood and
30 per cent air. Wood cut 4 feet long
can be sold to brickyards, limekilns,
metal-working plants and other indus-
tries, but is too large for household
use.
Another method, and one better

adapted for old growth hardwoods,
which are difficult to split, is to saw
the tree into logs of convenient lengths,
say from 10 to 15 feet. These are
“snaked” out to the edge of the wood-
land and there sawed and split into
lengths proper for the stove or fur-
nace. The sawing is usually done by
machine, driven either by gasoline or
by electricity. The wood is piled 4
feet high and 8 feet long, such a pile
being called a “stove-wood” or
ning” cord or “run.” When the
is sawed into 16-inch lengths,
customary with stove material,
runs are theoretically equivalent to
rone cord^_
Wood a Profitable Farm Crop.
Firewood is expected to bring a bet-
ter profit this year than ever before.
It is a much less perishable crop than
many which the farmer raises. When
properly plied, the better kinds of
wood will last from two to three years,
although wood steadily deteriorates
after the first year.
To have the best heating value, as
well as to reduce the cost of hauling,
wood should be thoroughly seasoned,
which means air-drying it from six to
eight months. However, when piled so
as to get a good circulation of air, 50
per cent of the moisture may be re-
moved in three monrhs. Wood cut in
October and November, therefore, may
be burned the latter part of the winter.
The prices which cordwood likely
will bring this year offer the farmer
an opportunity to improve his wood-
land by weeding out the inferior trees.
In the past this has seldom been prac-
ticable, for the inferior wood was not
marketable. With the prices indicated
for the coming winter, thinnings be-
come practicable"over a wider range of
country in the vicinity of good mar-
kets. The woodland owner may secure
specific information from his state
forester, his county agent, ids state
agricultural college, or from the Unit-
ed States forest service, Washington.

peace will be impartial justice to all
nations, the instrumentality indis-
pensable to secure it is a league of
nations formed, not before or after,
but at the peace conference, and Ger-
many, as a member, “will have to re-
deem her character not by what hap-
pens at the peace table but by what
follows.”
This was President Wilson’s answer,
given Friday night before an audience
of fourth Liberty ioan workers here,
to the recent peace talk from the cen-
tral powers.
The President's Address.
The president spoke in part as
lows:
“My Fellow Citizens: I am
here to promote the loan. That
be -done—ably and enthusiastically
done—by the hundreds of thousands
of loyal and tireless men and women
who have undertaken to present it to
you and to our fellow citizens through-
out the country, and I have not the
least doubt of their complete success,
for I know their spirit and the spirit
of the country.
“No man or woman who has really
taken in what this war means can hes-
itate to give to the very limit of what
they have.
“And it is my mission here to try
to make clear once more what the
war really means. You will need no
ether stimulation.
“We accepted the Issues of the war
as facts, not as any group of men,
either here, or elsewhere had defined
them, and we can accept no outcome
which does not squarely meet and set-
tle them.

ening, Invigorating Effect. Price 60c. .
The War’s Issues.
“Those issues are these:
“Shall the military power of any na-
tion or group of nations be suffered
to determine the fortunes of peoples
over whom they have no right to
rule except the right of force?
“Shall strong nations be free to
wrong weak nations and make them
subject to their purpose and interest?
“Shall people be ruled and dominat-
ed, even In their own internal' af-
fairs, by arbitrary-ft rid' irresponsible
force^o? Uyf'their own will and choice?
“Shall there be a common stand-
ard of right and privilege for all peo-
ples and nations or shall the strong
do as they will and the weak suffer
without redress?
“Shall th^ assertion of right be hap-
hazard and by casual alliance or shall
there be aj common concert to oblige
the observance of common rights?
“No man, no group of men, chose
these to be the issues of the strug-
gle. They are the issues of it, and
’bey must be settled by no arrange-
inen or compromise or adjustment of
interests, but definitely and once for
all and with a full and unequivocal
acceptance of the principle that the
interest of the weakest is as sacred
as the interest of the strongest.
“1 his is what we mean when we
speak of a permanent peace, if we
speak sincerely, intelligently

nations whom they govern, as I believe
it to be, to achieve by the coming set-
tlements a secure and lasting peace it
will be necessary that all who sit down
at the peace -table shall come ready
and willing to pay the price, the only
price that will procure it; and ready
and willing also to" create in some
virile fashion the only instrumentality
by which it can be made certain that
the agreements of the peace will be
honored an<J fulfilled.
“That price is impartial justice tn
every item of settlement, no matter
whose interest is crossed; not only im-
partial justice, but also the satisfac-
tion of the several peoples whose for-
tunes are dealt with. That indispen-
sable instrumentality is a league of
nations formed under covenants that
will be efficacious.
“Without such instrumentality, by
xVhich the peace of the world can be
guaranteed, peace will rest in part
upon the word of outlaws and only
upon that word. For Germany will
have to redeem her character, not only
by what happens at the peace table
but what follows.
“And, as I see it, the constitution of
that league of nations and the clear
definition of its objects must be a part,
is in a sense the most essential part,
of the peace settlement Ftself. It can-
not be formed now7. If formed now, it
would be merely a new alliance con-
fined to the nations associated against
a common enemy. It is not likely that
it could be formed after that settle-
ment.
“It is necessary to guarantee the
peace, and the peace cannot be guar-
anteed as an afterthought. The rea-
son, to speak in plain terms again,
why it must be guaranteed, is that
there will be parties to the peacef
whose promises have proved untrust- [
worthy, and means must be found in
connection with the peace settlement
itself to remove that source of inse-
curity.
“It would be folly to leave the guar-
antee to the subsequent voluntary ac-
tion of the government we have seen
destroy Russia and deceive Roumania.
Particulars of Terms.
“These, then, are some of the par-
ticulars, and I state them witli the
greater confidence because I can state
them authoritatively as representing
this government’s interpretation of its
own duty with regard to peace:
“FIRST—The impartial justice
meted out must involve no discrimina-
tion between those to whom we wish to
be just and those to whom we do not
wish to be just. It must be a justice
tfiat plays no favorites and knows no
standard but the equal rights of the
several peoples.
“SECOND—No special or separate
interest of any single nation or any
group of nations can be made the
basis of any part of the settlement
- which is not consistent
mon interest of all.
“THIRD—There can
or alliances or special
understandings within the general and
common family of the league of na-
tions.
“FOURTH—And more specifically,
there can be no special, selfish, econo-
mic combinations within the league
and no employment of any force of
economic boycott for exclusion except
as the power of economic penalty by
exclusion from the markets of the
world may be vested in the league of
nations itself as a means of discipline
and control.
“FIFTH—All international agree-
ments and treaties of every kind must
be made known in their entirety to
the rest of the world.
“Spec’al alliances and economic
rivalries and hostilities have been
the prolific sources in 'the modern
world of the plans and passions that
produce war. It would be an insin-
cere as well as insecure peace that
did not exclude them in definite and
binding terms.
“Plain workaday people have demand-
ed almost every time they came to-
gether, and are still demanding, that
the leaders of their governments de-
clare to them plainly what it is—ex-
actly what
ing in this
the items
should be.

what they have been told. They still
seem to fear that they are getting what
they ask for only in statesmen’s terms

rangements
