Rev. Samson May Leave Warren.

ReF.s David Samson has received calls
to three different churches: East Grand
Forks, MINI; Atwater, Mimi. and
Paw Paw, Mich; and has under con
sideration the acceptance Of one of
these calls. What his decision will be
he will probably make known at the
services next Sunday Rev. Samson be-
came the pastor Of the Presby terian
church in this city about four and one
half years ago, and in this brief space
of time he has succeeded in uilding up
the chlFch greatly both materially and
spiritually. He is an able, scholarly
gentleman, q fine speaker and sermon
3izer, and, more than all, possesses that
Christian zeal and enthusiasm which
we like to see in minister Of the Cos
pei. Not only in church affairs, but
also in the civic life and @betterment of
our city, has he taken an active inter-
est. Warren surely will be loath to
part with Rev. Samson and his excell-
ent family, and friends both inside and
outside his church, hope that he will
decide finally to remain here. Il

THE COAL SITUATION.


A letter from J. L. McGee, Federal
Fuel Administrator for Minnesota, adj
dressed to II. Z. Wood, chairman, War
rem: q. T., Foster, Argyle; and G. r.
Gillespie, Stephen the Marshall county
fuel committee, calls attention to the
seriousness of the hard coal shortage in
the northwest. All dealers are warned
to make jast and equitable distribution
to customers Of coal that is shipped in
to the end-~that everybody will be sup
piled with enough to take care of their
immediate needs and that there may be
no suffering. It some customers are
allowed to take in a full winters sup
ply Of coal at this time, there will be
nothing to distribute to other custom
ers. The hearty cooperation Of the
public is also desired. Consumers who
have furnaces or stoves in which soft
coal may be used, are urged to use soft
coal to tide over the present emergency
until such time as a sufficient supply
of hard coal is available In localities
where wood is plentiful, coal can be
conserved by using wood for fuel If
dealers and the public cooperate in
conserving the hard coal to be shipped
in, then, it is hoped no one will need to
suffer for lack of fuel
