RECORD COAL EXPERT TELLS FOR 1920' HOW TO SAYE IN Extra Day Furnished by Menson of 1920 aging Leap Year With the New Year less than fifty days away interest naturally begins to quicken in the approach of 1920. Already calenders and almanacs displaying the numerals that mark the corning twelve months are to be seen in the stationary shops. It is almost unnecessary to state that New Year's Day falls on Thurs- day, for every youngster In Christ- endom has already consulted the calender to find out on what day Christmas will come, and has tumid out that the festival falls on Thurs- day. Grown-ups, being aware that New Year's Day is Just one week later, have drawn the natural con- clusion. Old Christmas, the festival that is known by the name Epiphany, the Fete des Rots, and Twefth Night, falls twelve days after Christ- mas on Tuesday, January 6, Lent will come in fairly early in 1920, for the• social season will close with the coating of Ash Wednesday on February 18. February wilt produce another day of interest to the gener- al public, and that will be Sunday, February 29. For 1920 will be Leap Year though unfortunately the twen- ty-ninth does not happen to fall on a week day thls time, so souse o( the usual merry -making will be omitted. Easter will comae early—on April 4, which will make the dates of the two accompanying holidays, Good Friday and Easter Monday, fall on April 2 and 5. Fishermen will be delighted to hear that May 24, 1920, will come on a Monday, so a week -end in the country is assured to those who want it. The King's Birthday, June 3, a school and bank holiday, will be a Thursday, and July 1, Dominion Day, will fall on the same day of the week. School children will be in- terested in the fact that Labor Day, the first Monday In September, will come on September 6, for the pub- lic schools in the town ordinarily re- open on the day following Labor Day, Several Eclipses Thanksgiving Day is a movable feast, and its date will remain un- determined until next September, when the Governor -General -in -Coun- cil will proclaim the date set apart for general thanksgiving. If the precedent of the last few years is followed, the day chosen will be a Monday in mid October. Christmas, 1920, will fall on Sat- urday. The almanac announces that there will be several eclipses both of the sun and of the moon. Two of these will be visible in Canada, a total eclipse of the moon 011 Octo- ber 27, 1920, and a partial eclipse of the sun on November 10. Rotuma Their Thanks.

Casey, Editor Ameri- can Coal Journal) Properly handled, the household furnace can be made to pay for the family's shoes this winter, even at the price we are told the shoe amen are going to demand. It will take a ' tittle study to accomplish this, but, once the method is learned, it will work almost automatically, like the habit of eating peas with a fork, All that is necessary is to learn how to build and care foe the furnace fire , and how to work the dampers. Any- one of average intelligence can ac - 1 quire this knowledge with little effort ! and the results in coal saying will be astonishing. It Is to be supposed that the furn- ace is a good one, properly installed; with all joints tight and with un- obstructed flues, If these conditions do not exist, cut out a pair of shoes and use the money to have the plant put In.proper order, hearing in mind that the cheaper the furnace and the installation, the more it will cost in the long run. Before starting the winter fire, see that the furnace is absolutely clean. A thin layer of soot exerts as much resistance to heat as ten inches of iron, and dirt has a snitiler effect, If a hot air plant is used, any cracks should be tilled with cement or a new section should be installed in order that -the fire -box should be absolutely gas tight. See that the cold air box does not admit to much outside air, especiallyin very cold days and take care to ave the water container in the air jacket always tilled with clean water: moist air heats more readily and is more hygenic than dry air. Open the radiator valves when the lire is started for the season, and keep them open until water begips to flow out of them. This permits full efficiency of the radiators by expell- ing dead air, and should be repeated' at intervals throughout the winter. A hot water plant's success depends upon the radiators being kepi full of water and free from air. Before you start the fire for the season draw off the water in the furnace and renew it. Do this also with steam heating plant and twice a week in cold weather draw off a bucketful through the outlet pipe and let a similar quan- tity of fresh water,run in through ,the inlet pipe. The Coal To Use Read very carefully and follow just as carefully the printed directions which every furnace manufacturer furnishes. He knows more about his own moire than you do, and 'his advice is good. These instructions will give full information concerning the pro- per handling of dampers, and this is the most important knowledge you can acquire in connection with the ec- onomical handling of a furnace. The care of the fire differs accord- ing to the kind of coal used. Where bituminous or soft coal is used, it has been demonstrated that a mixture of quarter inch to three inch coal is best suited to the average household fur- nace. With hard coal the sizes known as egg and stove are the most popular although good results have been ob- tained with a mixture of stove and buckwheat, The latter is a small size and is cheaper, but not too great a proportion should be used. Your coal fedit'; 5A1 edyjse you about this; in act, he can give you 8 good deal 01 very valuable infoi•luajjon, if you ask hits. Do not keep yopr coal pile near a hot surface; do not fix ashes with the coal In the bins—ashes do not burn, If you use soft coal, dampen it slight- ly before tiring the furnace, as this aids in obtaining perfect combustion, ,..w Sheila( the Fire , , . • Too much shaktag spoils your fire and wastes coal.If the fire is low, put on a little coal and give it time to start burning before shaking, In very cold weather shake the fire only until a glow appears in the ash -pit, When the weather Is mild , leave some ashes on the grates as this makes a slow fire and saves coal, Under the circumstances shake the fire until live coals appear in the ash pit, 'Clean Continued on Page. 4. ;„ MOM SAYS t,w.NAP/1040d t .1 x u aeq e, i!eti1Fw0u * *) seta w W'aa 0400 'euf w Ihurcubuou.- F14w* `li'•'tihs '1U ttr. e#W, s e4g'.P'a s tier lues. daKe acr,,ta "-co, too.

Last Friday afternoon officers of the 33rd Huron Regiment and also officers who served overseas met here and a- long with Lt. Col, W. 3, Brown, A. A. 0,, of No, 1 District, talked over the re -organization of the 33rd Battalion. While reorganization is on a eight - company basis for administration pur- poses, it is intended to go to 'cam!), training resumes, with the regiment in four ,companies for drill purposes. The great majority of 33rd officers obtained commissions in oveseas units, but some are not now resident in Huron and a few lieutenants on'the roll have never qualified for their rank. Some will no doubt be dropped when Lieut. Col. Combe submits his revised slate of officers to headquarters of Military District No, 1. Lieut.'. ol. !i. Torr Rance, of town, who attained his rank in 19.16, auto- matically ceased to command the 33rd on the return of Lieut -Col. Combe to Clinton, but continues as second -in. command by virtue of his seniority. The appointment of Junior major has been vacant for some time, and it is expected that Col. Combe will recom- mend the promotion of Capt. H. C. Dunlop, of Goderich, to fill this. Capt. Dunlop who went overseas in the 71st LIL•UT.--COL. H. E.

' BRITISH ..EMPIRE MUSED IN MEMORY OF HONORED DEAD Clinton Together With People the World Over Suspended -Activity For Two Minutes on the Anniversary of Armistice Day. Clinton citizens Joined with those of the British Empire Tuesday and for two minutes every activity ceased while heads were bowed in reverent remembrance of those who gave their lives in the great war, From 1t o'clock to 11.02 in com- pliance with the request of King George, all business was suspended, wheels of industrial plants ceased to turn, locomotives on the railways paused, telegraphs and telephones. were silent and with few exceptions citizens turned from their daily pur- suits for two minutes of silent rever- ence to those brave men and women who died during the war. On the street, in the store, in the shop and in the hone, the Ilttle scene was en- acted following the warning of the town bell and factory whistles. What a contrast Clinton's streets presented Tuesday morning compared with a year ago, when all the pent up feelings of the people strained by years of war broke loose with the glad tidings that the armistice had been signed and fighting had ceased. Tues- day this week there was nothing but the usual hum drum of every day activity, over which there came a calm and a silence as the eleventh ]tour was reached. For two minutes the town stood stili and then turned once more to its daily task, QWGK GLANCE AT THE LOCAL NEWS To Our Correspondents.
