BURN MORE WOOD
Farmers, this winter, are burning wood in their ranges and
their furnaces to an extent unknown for a score of years. They
realize tliat coal is altogether too high priced and have no qualms
of conscience in giving the coal baron the very cold shoulder how
ever sorry they may be for the local
circumstances.
Why should not town and city and village folk help out the
farmer by buying wood? Doing so is a 1 - ------
their fellow citizens who are in a tight financial corner. Buying
wood means work and a few dollars, not only for the farmer but
also means work and the necessities of life for scores and hundreds
of idle men who in this way would be given jobs. Merchants and
business men generally would find sales stimulated if they would
but take wood in exchange for goods. It may be replied that the
town and village and city folk are stocked up with fuel for this
winter. However, the wood we are speaking of will not be ready
for its most economical consumption till it has a' year for drying.
Where there’s a will there’s a way. Here is one way of helpful

We have heard of the experience of Nansen the explorer, who

ways of escape were shut off except the way that lay ahead,
have heard, too, -of the experience of the men and women Who for
the most part, made this portion of Ontario a. place where men and

were the folk who had fled* from oppression in ,Scotlahd, from hard .
times and poverty in England, or from famine in Ireland. Land

they saw that they must -cut their way out with their axes or allow
