tragedy. Our transportation taci!I'
ties probably would be taken over by
the War Department, to be used prl'

lions OF our people would inevitably
suffer serious deprivation as result
OF our lack OF anything even remotely

preparedness.
A great outcry is being raised all
over the country for governmental
action in our present food crisis.
This demand is natural and reason,
able, but it should be. accompanied
by energetic action BY our people to
help themselves. National efficiency
depends upon proper cooperation
between governmental agencies and
individual citizens. One Of the best
ways that individuals can assist the
Government in solving this great prob

but he continually impresses upon the
men the importance of thinking for
themselves and being original.

ILLINOIS COAL FOR ILLINOIS
CONSUMERS.

illinois coal for Illinois consumers"
is the intent of circular prepared by
the state Council of Defense for gen.
eral distribution. II is the first move
in the campaign of the council to con-
serve the fuel supply, which is con-
sidered one of the most serious prob.
lens the public faces.
Coal dealers are asked to aid In the
campaign. which may result in repe.
tition of history In the coal industry.
Back in the eos. when the anthracite
coal strike was on, Illinois consumers,
who hitherto had been using hard coal
exclusively, took to the Pocahontas
product of West Virginia, and 1t has
been in favor ever since.
Illinois operators and dealers, as
we'll as combustion engineers. contend
results almost as satisfactory may be
obtained by the use of Illinois Drank
lin county, coal, two inch screenings
To the consumer Pocahontas delivered
is quoted at $3.50 ton, and screen
ings at s4.05 In carload lots This diff.
ference in price Is expected to awaken
interest in the Illinois propaganda.
Also dealers look for scarcity OF Po'
cahontas. Fred w. Upham of the
Consumers Company declared that on
its contract for $1,000 tons a month
the company is receiving only 10000
o. II. Hertel, combustion engineer
for this company, tells of his personal
experience. He lives at Glen Ellyn In
a six.room house. He experimental
first with hard coal and his fuel bill
was s9S a year. Next he tried Poca
hontas and cut the bill to s6i. Mex
he tried Illinois screenings, ant
brought the bill for the year down tc
sS2.
Mr.. Hertel explained that installa
ton has everything to do with the
burning OF soft coal, so that the smoke
nuisance will be minimized The de
vices for the ordinary furnace he does
not consider effective.
The University OF Illinois has ISSUED
a bulletin in pamphlet form DEALING
with coal heat units, which, in thu
main, is an argument in favor OF thu
Illinois product. The combustion en-
gineers figure that Pocahontas Goa
gives $4,000 heat units for cent, ant
Illinois screenings $1,000 for l cent.
