State Prison Commis¬ sion are After the Ck>uiity Board
The Board of Supervisors have been notified by tbe State Commlsaion of Prisons that unlesB tbe Board takes aome action toward providing more room for prisoners in the county jail before December 4, the date of the Commisslon'H next meet- iJUE, tbat the matter would be taken up with the Attorney General.
E. L. Beard appeared, informally, before the Board and submitted a map showing another site of sixty acres of land which Beard thinks would make a good place for the county tuberculosis hospital. Tbe property Is on high ground and is aitiiatfd at the Plainview Corner, to¬ ward Central I'ark, .south of the Old <lountry Uoad and west from the Ce¬ ment Itoad to the Plainview Corner. The property lias ten acres of woods and is in tw(j pieces. Jt is known a.s file Dinltins farm. Supervisor Smith directc''d the submis.sion ot a petition of taxpayers hefore the IJoard would consider the propo.si- tion. The Stato Board of Health has a.lready approved the Kiel farm at Hethpap'e for a county tiihcrcuioi.is site and It i.s thought unlikely IhaH a change will be made at this late date.
The Board voted that five dollars a day be made the compensation for the services of Augustus T. Remsen, of Jericho, and Charles F, Gittens, of HenipBteaii, who were appointed as asslstant-s to the Board of Canvassers to canvass th(^ vote cast at the elec¬ tion on November 6,
UNCLE'S CHIPS
Nobody can he accused of being .sncreligioim who calmly discusses or even ciiRses the Kaiser's Jop.i. True, Wilhelm .speaks of him an God with that easy familiarity betokening f'fjiiality nt fellowship, but we all know hy thi.i time that it is not our Crod whom Ihe Emperor io personally rondijitln)? on a tour of the battle fronts. The Kaiser's God was un¬ doubtedly made in Germany, douhf- les.s hy Krupp. Who ever heard of a Kod of any Itlnd in the Fatherland during the twenty years before thla war? There Is nothing new under the Riin in heathen circles. The great¬ er the heathen's dialreBS the louder he howled, the more fervently he railed upon his Jo.ss-&hip the more frequently and urgent his calls. How like our modern Kaiser's frame of mind. He must fear that dire dis¬ aster of some sort is impending, for never before in his whole career has he been so unfortunate, •so insistent upon the encoiiraRement and help of his Joss, 80 prodigal in recommend¬ ing hiui to the favorable attention of his legions of "lecherous apes."
ANNUAL EliaiON NASSAU BAR ASS'N
The annual election of officers of the Nassau County Bar Association ¦wa.s held at llie Court Hou.se on Tuesday afternoon. The following were chosen as olHcials of the A.sso¬ ciation tor the i^nsulng year: Presi¬ dent, Honry L. .'Maxson, of Freeport; vice president, Williani S. I'ettit, of liawrence; seOretary, W. Clark Roe, of Oreat Neck/; treasurer, Kdwin T. I'uyne, ot Glen Cove, The Associa¬ tion voted to ,-ipend $1500 of tho $2300 .surplus in the treasury for Liberty Honds if another issue is put forth. The proKram for tbe coming year contemplates the purchase of lenal books for^the library iu the Court House.
Instead of the customary annual banquet which it holds each year, the Association this year will give a pa¬ triotic war dinner at two dollara a plate. Talks on subjects relating to the war, especially on army and navy matters, will be given at the dinner. A comniiltec will be appoint¬ ed to arrange details for the affair, whieh will probably be hiMd in the Garden City Hotel.
It ia good to know that Tommy At¬ kins Is putting the hoots to the Turks in great good shape in Judea.
Glfford Pinchot couldn't agree with the national food authorities and ro- sipncd. lio has roturnod to his first l(»vc, Iho cnnsf^rvatinn ot our natural resources, which ho is now booming vigorously. Fortunately there aro other war topics which transcend this particular ono in interest and im- uortanco. It is regrettable that this eminent publicist sliould ho obliged to fall hack upon his first line to in¬ sure position on tho newv-ipapor front. To be ignored or forgotten by tho press would he fatal to more than one mediocrity now prancing in the public prints.

Tho Ponuots ot Rockville Centre will complete their fifth year as an auxiliary to the Democratic Party of tho county next month—an unheard of ago for a Democratic club in these quarters. It is their proud boast that they don't owe a cont to anyliody, and that the Sheriff has never yot had a look-in, although he inpy .perhap'.s, nn one or two oc- caJJions have been perilously" near the pictiiros, piano and cut-glass punch bowl. As for a surplus they scorn it. Whether they wet Iheir reward for faithful party service now or in tho groat hereafter seems to bo a iiiaticr of little luoinoiit, Poriodlccilly th<'\' iak(^ thoir pen in hand :uid proceed to figure out how many votes thry can help the district loaders bring out for the ticket. Their Wig¬ wam during campaign times becomos a centre of activity and tho home of tliiit liojie thiit sprinpeth eternal in tl)(> Doniocratic breast. They mako other figures, too, but Konorally tlio.se don't count, as is shown by th(^ offlciai canvass. Now thoy aro bi^sinninn to figure on a Democratic Governor next year, and tho recur¬ rent renaissance of Democracy is iniininent, a little earlier than usual thi.s time. The Young Biick.s are go¬ ing; to show their appreciation of the Old Cocks wtiiD have figured and fll nied all those lean years by giving tbem a tbumli-bit and smoker. In¬ cidentally they will sic em on tho common enemy and the wigwam will resound witb the .shouts and battle- cries of the aroused Democracy. Tho affair will be unique in many ro- sptH'ts. It is safe to say that it will in<-lude no lady in tho "altogether" (Miiergins from a mammoth nio, or iliai its cost will bo f.M a plate. Be¬ yond those facts ah.snluto secrecy iiiiist be maintained tor the present. Why is a Democrat? will no doubt lie answered satisfactorily to all present on that fcstiverous occasion.

Freeport might well have passed for a town "soniewhoro in France" last Friday and Saturday,' It looked like a busy place just removed from "behind the lines." American soldiers and occasionally a sailor boy hurried about, and a littlo' band of energetic women in Rod Cross unifor'm's and armed with,a bag of tags and a llKle box of coins' passed smiles and cherry rciiiiests for the money they needed In their work for the boys "who are flghting over there.
And it was a huge succe'ss, this Tag Day in Freeport.
The women who tagged and all tho other Red Cross workers are still wondering how it was done. The two days tagging brought $677, and besides that the following subscrip¬ tions wore given: Mrs. Robert A. Da¬ vison. $10; Mr. Joseph T. Hewlett, $5; Mr. Goorfio H. Hewlett, $5; Mrs. Goo. H. Hammond, $5; Dr Albert Ham¬ mond, $5.
Mrs. Henry I^eray Maxson managed the two days work in hor usual clover and competent 'way and hor commit¬ tee saw that no ono escaped. Thoy were up early and out in the brisk autumn niorninfrs to waylay the com- imiters on oven the very early train's. Tbey took turns on tho trolleys and in the shops, and thoy sincerely hope no one in town was missed. If any ono was overlooked and lia,sn't the lit¬ tle Red Cro.ss to remind him tbat ho (lid hi.s bit to make this tag day a success, tho committee hope he or, she 'will bring or send their donation IO the Rod Cros.s rooms and then tho nienil)ers will be quite certain their work was well done. Tho following Freeport nioniberd of the Red Cross appeared in the picturesque uniform and raised this satisfactory amount: Mrs. Alfred T. Davison, Misses El¬ dridge, Mrs. Bertha Knobel, .Mrs. Har¬ rv Faron, Mrs. Maihee, Mrs. Mack, Mrs. Kehoe, .Mrs. F:dward Thompson, Mrs. Spence, Mrs. Dell Porter, Miss Alexander, Mrs. Schly, Mrs. Gilbert Smith, Mrs. Wray, Mrs. Scholey, Mrs. I.yman Jones, Mrs. Augusta Woods and Miss O'Mara.

SAVE 2,000,000 TONS OF COAL
The Council, upon (lovernor Wliitmon's recoimnen- (lation, hns adopted a plan by wliich tlie pt'opic of this State can, of thoir own violition during tlii.s winter save for tlie NaN-y 2,000,000 tons of coal.
Ench citizen V patriotism will bring this object home more forcibly than any legislation.
The suggestions are:
Do not bui'Ti coal in open grates, as 75 per cent, of the lieat goes up the chimney.
Close off spare rooms and sleep in cold bedrooms, ii is healthier.
Be sure all firinj;-, ashpit and cleanout doors aro air¬ tight. ^ /
Thin fires mean waste, so he'ep the fuel space of ranges antl furnaces filled, heaping slightly in the center.
Feed and shako fires regularly, not more than tliree times a day, and ho sure not to shake after the first bright s]K)t shows.
Never leave feed-door drafts open to adiiiil cold air over glowing coal beds.
Keep ash-pits ein])ty, as ashes nnder grates prevent necessary air circulation, hinder cumlmstion and war]) grates.
Remove allies daily, sifting;' to recover good coal that lias dropped through the grate.
Clean flues frequently, as one-eighth of an inch of ashes and soot retards heat transfer 25 per cent, resnlt- ing in serious fuel waste.
Careful sealing of houses by weather strips, double windows, etc.» will re.sult in material saving of fuel,
HERE IS A CHANCE FOR THOSE WHO STAY AT HOME TO DO THEIR SHARE.

A Strong Sermon on
Sunday to a Record
Congregation
Last Sunday evening the Freeport .Methodist Church was filled to htr Evangelist Fairbanks prekch one qff bis fearless sermons in which he told his hearers of the condemnation God pronounces on the sin of unbelief. Immediately in front of the pulpit sat the offlciary of the Church in a body. Immediately back of them, and to thoir right, wore representatives of the various patriotic, benevolent and fraternal organizations of the "rtl- lage. On the north side of the au¬ ditorium were grouped the memberg of tho various women'.s organization* of the church, together with mena- hcTs of the Kpworth I^cague and tbg Sunday School ofllcer.s and teachers. Ilohind these ornanizations the con- progation filled tho pews and extend¬ ed back into tho chapel and up into the roar gallery of that large room. Professor Bruckman, 'who had heen announced as the special soloist of tho day, and who was to have sung at all services, was not present on account of sickness. But Mr. Whitt- man had marshalled his large chorus and the singing was full of enthus¬ iasm.
Evangelist Fairbanks had spoken at the .Men's MooUng at 4 p. m., had given his message with tremendous energy at the evening service, and most earnestly thrown himself into the after meeting, which did not close till about 9.30 o'clock. But all this output of energy did not present his accoptinK an invitation to go to Fra¬ ternity Hall after this to speak to a group of aoldien wbo were belsg enr* tertained there.
This is the last week of the cun- palgn. Meetings have been held evfery evening since Monday. A shop meet¬ ing was held at tbo Brass Foundry on Wednesday noon, and meetings for women have beon held on two after¬ noons. This afternoon, Friday, the chiidrcn's meeting is in swing. This " evening is to bo "Children and Sun¬ day School Night."
N> .xt Sunday morning Dr. Curtice will preach.
At 4 p. m. Mr. Fairbanks will preach to men only on the topic, "Whitwashed or Washed White." In tho oveniuK he will conduct the last service of the campaign.
Prof. Bruckman, who was prevent¬ ed hy sickness from being present last Sunday, is to assist in the mu¬ sical part of the services of the day. And as a very apecial attraction Mrs. S. A. Lewis, of Elmhurst, a singer of unusually flne voice and musical culture, will sing in the evening. Those who heard Mrs. Lewis last week will want to hear her again.
-Monday evening next the Sunday School Board will hold its monthly meeting.
Wednesday evening a 'special mid- wook service will be held in the cha¬ pel. This ¦will open with a soniir service.
Thur.sday, at 10.30 a. m., the con- propatlon will unite in the Annual Thanksgiving Day Service at the • Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Mr. Gould being the preacher of the day. Friday afternoon, at 3.45 o'clock, a children's meeting will be held In the Chapel,
