FOR BIRTH CONTROL. - no
ticed in The Day Book that w. J.
Rox is opposed to birth control, or
self control; both mean the same.
l wish to inform Mr.. ROx that my
father shortened my mothers life on
account of ignorance Of self control,
or birth control, knowledge. Any
man who is opposed to educating the
working class in regard to birth con-
troll is ignorant. My father deserted
my mother when was baby and
left me to starve. When all men and
women are informed of birth control
all children will be born healthy and
sure of having a home, food, clothing
and shelter.
Foxes think large families of rab-
bits highly cOmmendable; cats like
large families of mice; and priests
and preachers want. large numbers
of parishioners; employers want
large families for cheap labor; and
politicians want plenty Of ignorant
voters. All agree in commenting
large families.
1t is no crime for the rich class to
know all about birth control, but it
seems to be a crime for the working
class to know anything about their
bodies.
l wish to inform Mr., RoX that Mr.,
and Mrs. Margaret Sanger, the advo-
gates Of birth control, have brought

grant the men the double platoon,

Fuel Administrator Webster Suggests
Plans to Dealers to Prevent
boarding Of
Fuel.
TO MAKE STATEMENT
These Cards Would Contain Certified
Records Of Claims for
Fuel From the
Consumer.

A plan of distribution of coal, to
prevent boarding, has been proposed
to coal dealers and big coal users
by the fuel administrator Of Iowa,
Charles Webtser. Mr.. Webster has
forwarded copies of the letter to
coal dealers in which he outlines the
plans for the distribution. In his let
ter he says that dealers in their de-
sire to apportion available coal to
the needy, are confronted by the
fact, reported by their drivers, that
people who declared they were out
of fuel, and who even pleaded sick
ness in the family, have plenty in
their bins.
To meet this situation the follow
ing order form has been invented by
the fuel administration which that
body suggests should be sent to the
dealers for their use:
Name of dealer. ................
City. Date. .......
In accordance with the order
of the United States fuel admin
istrator in Iowa, purchasers are
required to make true declara-
ton in answer to the following
questions:
Amount of coal desired. 1850.
2-Kind used last year. .........
3-Approximate amount used last
year
Pounds or tons on hand at
present.
will last approximately 49,.
days.
6-Have you any untitled orders
with other dealers? .........
l hereby certify that the above
report is true to the best Of my
knowledge and belief.
Name ..............
AuuTeSS
Mr.. Webster who was recently
appointed railroad commissioner at
the solicitation of DR.. Garfield, is to
retain the fuel administrators job,
too He has named two secretaries,
Fred W. Schneider of West Union
and M. A. Potter of Waukon.
