The most vital matter in our ma

the present time we are not only de-
icient, but absolutely lacking. The
remedy for this extremely dangerous
situation is the immediate creation by

the greatest organizers the country

800 CORDS WOOD
NEEDED TO SUP
PLY COAL DEFICIT

Dresden needs 800 cords of heat
ing wood to supply the coal deficit
Dresden must have some patriotic
citizen or citizens who will supply
this deficit, selling the wood at a
fair and legitimate price.
At the citizens meeting, held at
she courthouse at the call of Fuel
Administrator Geo. S. Boyd on last
Monday night, it was shown by esti-
nation, that Dresden this year will
lack ten carloads of coal of getting
her customary allotment, and it was
surther estimated that this would be
equivalent to 800 cords of heating
wood which will be actually needed
in Dresden this winter to prevent
suffering.
Plans for supplying this wood
were discussed at Monday nights
citizens meeting, and Mr.. Boyd was
empowered to appoint a committee
of five whose duty it shall be to can
vass the town, find out the exact
amount of wood to be needed and
make positive arrangements for sup
plying the same. 1t is suggested that
a woodward be established here and
a supply of wood put in while the
roads and weather are good. This
will likely be done. In the mean
time, every effort will be made to
get as much coal as possible, but coal
must not be depended upon. Ar
must be made at once for
lsing some wood by those who have
lot already put in their winters fuel
upply
You owe it to yourselves to co -ope-
ate with Mr.. Boyd.
