Of the two and half billion gallons
OF gasoline refined in this country last
wear about one-half was used in the
three and half million motor vehicles
then in use. Even if only 10 per cent
saving is effected by automobilists, this
will amount to more than 125,000. 900
gallons in the next twelve months.
Such saving is easy to accomplish.

MEN CAN'T GET

Members of the Food Admin.
istration at Washington, D. c.,
now have an added personal rea.
son for urging conservation OF
sugar.
A recent canvass of retail
stores of the city showed that of
% stores Is had no sugar. Three
had only a small supply of cube
sugar in packages. Every store
had less than 100 pounds and
none had prospect Of an immedi-
ate supply. Of three wholesal-
ers and one jobber, two had no
sugar. One had a three day sup
ply.
No relief is promised for at
least six weeks, and Washington
will be on a short sugar ration
until after Christmas at least.

WHEREAS at a meeting OF

Administrator of Ohio Homer II.
Johnson, at Cleveland, O., on Nov.
18th, a thorough discussion took
place, wherein the serious situa-
tion covering the shortage of fuel,
both for domestic and industrial
uses, was brought out in detail;
and,
WHEREAS, it was made appar-
ent that the shortage of motive
power and congestion at terminal
facilities on practically all rail
roads are the two factors respon-
sible Tor this shortage of fuel;
BE IT RESOLVED, That the
coal operators here present agree
to form and maintain pools at the
main distributing points in the
central territory, for the purpose
Of enabling the railroad compa-
nies to relieve congestion at the
different railroad terminals and
facilitate the movement of coal to
the consumer.
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED.
That committee of coal shippers
be appointed to organize the nee
essary pools at once.

WARTIME DEMAND
FOR COTTON
is ENORMOUS

Recent Investigations in the use
of cotton in war show:
A 12-inch gun disposes OF a
half bale of cotton with every
shot fired; a machine gun in op-
Grafton will use up bale in three
minutes; in a naval battle like the
one off Jutlahd over 5, 600 pounds
a minute are consumed by each
active warship; more than 20. 900
bales a year are needed to- pro-
vide absorbent cotton for the

represents more than a million
bales.

power and terminal facilities
Plan Will solve Problem.
The plan contemplated in the reso
luton passed by the coal operators
at a separate meeting, it is believed,
will go far toward solving the prob
lem.
The pooling agreed upon will elm
mate much of the switching, insure
prompt delivery and enable the rail
roads to release both cars and nc.
tive power. The coal operators nc
doubt in many cases will sacrifice
business relations with their euc.
toners. They have agreed to do this
to meet the present emergency with
the knowledge that in many instances
they will have to reconstruct their
business relations after the war. On
the other hand the consumer fre-
qUently will have to take coal other
than that which he ordered, but it
will be necessary that he make that
sacrifice.
Pools are to be formed at Colum.

other points. Committees are now en-

During the present week a general
meeting Of the coal operators of Ohio,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia and KEN

completing the work now under way.

During the meeting it was agreed
by all, including the railroad officials,
that two things are essential to re
lieving the situation:
/. That centers of consump-
ton be supplied from the near
est mines, such mines to have
100 per cent car supply.
.. That all unnecessary switch,
ing and cross-hauling be elm.
mated.
This meeting is regarded as the
most promising move yet made for
getting an ample supply of coal ia
all consumers during the winter. The
mines are amply able to produce ali
the coal needed and it is hoped the
railroads will now be able to deliver
It to the consumers.
T. L. Lewis, formerly president of
the United Mine Workers, now secre.
tary of the West Virginia Operators
association, was present at two of the
meetings and will return for the final

Dangerous to Ship Soft
Corn.

The United States Department
of Agriculture has been advised
that a large amount of soft corn
arriving at large grain markets
in the Middle West is in danger
of spelling. Owing to congestion
of terminals at these points, rail-
roads are unable to deliver corn
promptly to drying plants where
it can receive proper care. This
corn is especially liable to get
out of condition while being held
on trade during warm weather.
In order to prevent the spoil
age of such soft corn it is rec
commended that until cold wealth
er sets in farmers and country
shippers delay the movement of
such soft corn from the field un-
less conditions at the point to
which the corn is shipped are
such that the corn can be given
quick attention for conditioning.
