IDEA FOR FUEL CONSERVATION New Jersey Man Has Evolved Scheme Which It Will Be Admitted Has Many Good Points, ‘Apprehension of a coal shortage, to- gether with the upward trend in fuel prices, has caused the wise suburban- ite actively to consider ways and means of providing for his comfort and warmth during the winter. One enterprising Jerseyite has par- tially met the situation by capitaliz- ing*on his open fireplaces in his “Hatkensack home in ‘a rather novel manner, Not wishing to trouble with By a log fire and also being of the opin- fon that it did not give off sufficient heat, Mr. Suburbanite purchased a small stove, which he set in the open fireplace, the pipe being extended up “the chimney. { The stove burns wood or pea coal, of which there is no shortage, and 4 radiates considerable heat, not only i } within the room, but in the adjoining rooms. With the furnace operating on a curtailed supply of fuel, the fire- place stove permits the registers in that portion of the house to be turned off, shunting whatever heat might be produced to other sections of the of house. M The stove also serves a practical purpose, its flat top permitting the boiling of water, preparation of toast or other light housekeeping prac- tices, Other features in favor of the in- novation are the fact that It is out of the way and takes up no additional space; and, unlike a log fire in an open fireplace, gives off no sparks nor smoke and consequently meets with the approval of the housewife—New York Sun. bf CHINA HAS OLDEST JOURNAL Peking Newspaper Has Bean in Ex- Istence for Something More Than Ten Centuries, The oldest newspaper in the world is the King-Pau, or “Capital Sheet,” published in Peking, China. It first was printed In the year 911 A. D., but for many years has been issued only at irregular intervals. Since 1851, however, it has been published weekly and in uniform size, During the present century and per- haps longer, the paper has been re- leased about noon. Until 1882, tt con- fined its news to council and court news, Since then it has been Issued in new form and on a new plan. The King-Pau is printed on yellow paper. It sells for 2 kesh, something less than a cent, Three editions are printed daily, All issues of the King-Pau are edited by six members of the National Acad- emy of Sciences. They are appointed Ze by the Chinese government. The total 5 number of dally copies is from 18,000 to 14,000, May Grow Own Orange Blossoma F Orange groves in the dining room, it breakfast fruit direct from tree to & plate, and prospective brides raising i their own orange blossoms in their F own apartments while they fill their i hope chests, are some of the possibil- : i(fes foreseen in the introduction of the Chilean dwarf sweet orange into i this country, by the United States Li Department of Agriculture, This orange, called the Capuchin, gives promise of being useful in the United States as a house plant, as well as for dooryards and other places where an ornamental fruit plant its desired. Tt 1s believed that this small size, Juicy fruit tree which is being brought from the vicinity of Santiago de Chile, where it is extensively cultt- 5 vated, must have originated in that i section. The trees bear heavy crops : of excellent thin-skinned oranges about two inches in diameter, | ee — Inside Dope, The Woman wonders what is the se- cret of laundries being so destructive to clothes these days—for she knows now { why they were in days gone by, at { least as far ag petticoats were con- a cerned. o She was talking to one who had been i a laundress in the good old days, but who since had gone in for “day's q work.” “I used ter make good money, too,” f the day worker told the woman. “Them 4 were the days of fluffy petticoats. The 4 Poorer girls couldn't buy 'em and yet « they went to parties and shows, too, so 7 I used ter rent ‘em out at 80 cents per night. I'd wash ’em each day, rent 'em at night, and return ’em to their own- ers every Saturday,” And doubtless the owners of the fluffy petticoats would say: “How careless, laundresses are when they wash !"—Chicago Journal. The Nutrition Doctor, The other day, while examining some children In the school at the In- @lanapolis Orphan asylum, the physi- clan and nurse found one of the little fellows had fever. Instead of admit- , tng him to the underweight class, he F was sent from school and reported to = the asylum nurse. Knowing that the regular physictan of the institution had not been there, the nurse asked: “Who sent you to me?” “The new Christian doctor.” And the nurse promptly put him to bed, know- ing whom he meant.—Indianapolis , News. ¢ Suspicious Symptoms, Doctor—Your husband will be up in ‘Jones, Why al! * COTTONWOOD CHRONICLE SEES ESE GEORGE MEDVED Issued Every Friday and entered at Postoffice in Cottonwood, Idaho as second-class mai] matter.

There's eomething more than the proverbial joke in mother’s cooking. It may not -be as scientific or as elab- orate, as is the product of cafe hotel chefs, but there is a satisfying char- acter about it to a son which cannot be duplicated, remarks the “Atlanta Georgian. Over in South Carolina an eighteen- year-old lad was locked up in the town jail for a minor offense. It was probably the first time he had been thus violently torn from home and mother—at any rate, when next morning rolled around he missed the delectable breakfast which he had been accustomed to enjoy under the parental roof. When in the wash room he managed to secure two tron bars, which he concealed until the jailer had gone. Then he smashed the lock of his cell and hited himself away for home. After he had safely put away the breakfast which mother prepared for him, he quietly returned to the jail and gave himself up. Of course the lad made himself a “criminal” in the eyes of the law by breaking jail, especially as he aided two other prisoners to eseape at the same time. But the fact of his return to captivity proved the truth. of his assertion that he only craved one of “mother’s breakfasts.” Surely a boy cannot be all bad when he will dare 80 much merely to get one of moth- ers’ home-cooked meals, SOME ODD DUNNING METHODS Bill Collectors Have Various Ways of Bringing Stow-Paying Customers to a Settlement. The Woman was talking the other day with the man who runs the corner @rug store about the way people didn’t pay bills. He said he used to know a man in his home town who ran up a@ tailor bill for some time and after several réquests on the part of the tallor a notation was added to the bill to the effect that an immediate settle- ment would be appreciated. The man owing the bill called and gave the tailor his check and said: “Now, look here, Abe, Pll pay my bills all right, but don’t write anything on the bottom of them.” A few months later another bill re- mained unpaid in spite of several dupli- cates sent by Abe, so another was sent on which was scribbled; “You told me not to write anything on your bill —so I won't.” The Woman said she used to know of a grocer who, when the bills were too long overdue, wrote on them: “Pay something, if it’s only attention.”— Chicago Journal, Last Word in Heating System. The advantage of hot-water heating has been ingeniously combined with the cheerfulness of the open-grate fire in a new heating apparatus which is adaptable for any width of fire- grate opening. It consists of a sec- tional boiler with hollow grate bars and an fron front and doors, The rear, sides and fire basket are hollow and filled with water connected to an ex- pansion tank located in the-attic. The usual system of piping to the vartous radiators throughout the house oper- ates In the same manner as any other hot-water system. A coll is placed in the rear of the heater and connected to the regular hot-water tank and thus hot water Is available at all times. The water gauge and ther- mometer are installed at a convenient Point near the heater. As the grate opening (usually In the living room) ts located on the fitst floor it requires a minimum of attention—Popular Mechanics Magazine, Majagua for Basebali Bats. About two years ago experiments proved that Cuban majagua was ideal- ly adapted for the manufacture of baseball bats. This hardwood is of tough fiber and it can be used for any purpose requiring material that will not break easily, Within the past year a growing interest has developed in the United States In the importation of majagua for the manufacture of base- ball bats. For this purpose it Is cut into pieces 38 inches long and 8 inches square. One firm exported to the Unitéd States during the past year 1,000 of these pleces.—Sclentific Amer- iean, Long Alr Record for a Small Boy. When the alr service between Lon- don and Paris was inaugurated Wil- Nam Sanderson, a boy living at Stone- bridge Park, near London, accepted a job as assistant steward and he has held the place ever since, making the trips regularly without interruption. In that time he has traveled 25,000 miles. His only complaint is that he thought the work would be accom- panied by some thrills or at least some excitement, but he has not had any such experiences—Los Angeles Times. What the Pony Suffered With. The owner of a valuable pony that was suffering with the navicular was trytng to tell Father James Healy, a famous Irish wit, whet afled the’ poor animal. The medical term, however, was a little too much for him. He told him, writes Sir Edward Sullivan in “The Nineteenth Century,” that the pony was suffering with the veruacu- lar. “God -bless me,” said the priest. “Think of that now. I thought the only animal that ever suffered with that complaint was Relaam’s ass.” CHARTER NO. 7923; RESERVE DISTRICT NO. 12 REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK At Cottonwood in the State of Idaho, at the close of business on April 3, 1923.
