COMMISSIONERS ROLE
THAT OF COAL DEALERS
Problem of Fuel Famine Confronts
Governmental Heads.

The District Commissioners will ap-
pear In the role of coal dealers this week.
Their principal problem will be a solu-
tion Of the coal famine in Washington.
The commissioners said yesterday that
they realized the situation may develop
into serious proportions II they bank on
getting a sufficient coal supply through
the irregular shipments. Repeated as
surances have been given by coal COM
panies that many carloads Of coal are in
transit, but the commissioner do not
care to take chances.
On Friday and Saturday two shipments
totaling about I'D tons, were received.
There are some days on which no coal ar
rive. Under present circumstances not
less than 100 tons should arrive here daily
to supply the schools and other public
buildings.
To relieve the situation the commission
srs have advertised for bids for Loo
tonA Only one proposal was received,
and this was rejected because Of the poor
quality Of the coal and the price-ss q ton.
Under It's contract the District Is pay
ing from sass to $S.ss q ton. The COM
nnissioners believe they cannot get addi-
tional coal outside Of their contract un-
der less than s. a ton. They will give
their entire attention to the situation this
week
It Is likely that an effort win be made
to get coal in the open market In Balti-
more. II this should fail, the commits
sioners will try to get a contract with
another coal company. They are certain
that they can get some coal through this
latter procedure. This would give the
District a suficient supply, it Is stated.
by receiving coal through two sources,
the old and new contractors.

Trying to Build Up
The Territory.

ltC L Ni ltOl j
The activities of the Nashville
Chattanooga & St. Louis Rail-
way in seeking to promote better
farming and live stock raising in
the territory served by it have
recently called forth several COM
mandatory editorials from the
papers over the country.
As result of the work done
on the demonstration farms of
the company, many farmers have
been aroused to the possibilities
of their land and have been fol-
lowing the system of cultivation
and crop rotation to advantage.
The forces engaged in this work
under the direction of Special
Agricultural Agent Joseph III.
Judd are now arranging for a
series of farm meetings to be an
nounced shortly at which the
farmers in the several sections
adjacent to the ten demonstra-
ton farms of the road may gath
er and hear discussed by experts
the best methods of farming, and
will also have solved for their
benefit the various problems with
which they may be contending on
their individual tracts.
A decided impetus has been
given the raising of better cattle
through the work of the road in
the placing of pure-bred bulls in
communities where the farmers
took sufficient interest in better
live stock to secure a numb Der of
pure-bred heifers and cows.
Another element in the promo
ton of better live stock on the
farm is the work of the company
in encouraging and organizing
live stock associations in the
several counties and aiding in
Inauguration of cattle sales for
the benefit of the farmers. 1t IS
estimated that approximately
5000 head of pure-bred cattle
have been placed with the farm
els in the territory along the N.
& @. by this method falone. In
addition the company has pur-
chased two foundation herds of
Shorthorn cattle.
This work is of such character
as to commend it to those who
really have the int. rests of the
several communities at heart,
and has the hearty endorsement
and cooperation of the Division
of Extension of the University
of Tennessee and also the State
Department of Agriculture.
Nashville, Tenn., June g. The
Nashville Chattanooga & StLouis
Railway has arranged to send ten
men to the Ft. Oglethorpe train
ing camp for the June period.
The road finished five recruits
for the May period. The comp
any has offered to send employees
on full pay and as result is con-
t.ibuting to the general scheme
of preparedness in which many
of the larger concerns of the
state are showing a most COM
mendable spirit.
