MILLIONS SAVED
Announces Scale for All Bitumin-
Gus Grades.
ACTION IS BIG SURPRISE
Prices Are Subject to Revision Later
When Wilson Evolves Complete
Scheme for Regulation Of In
dustry-Prices Called
Fair and Liberal.

Washington. Aug 22-President
Wilson Unexpectedly announced on
Tuesday night definite scale of prices
for bituminous coal at the mines in all
producing states.
Instead of appointing a coal direc-
tor and announcing plans for requisi-
tioning the coal supply of the country
the president promulgates prices based
on cost production figures compiled by
the federal trade commission.
The prices are subject to revision
later when the president evolves a
complete scheme for the regulation of
the coal industry.
The president in a statement de-
clared the prices are mot only fair

The statement issued by the presi-
dent follows:
''rhe following scale of prices is pre-
scribed for bituminOus coal at the
mine in the several coal-prodrcing dis
trlcts. 1t is provisional only. 1t is
subject to reconsideration when the
whole method of administering the
fuel supplies of the country shall have
been satisfactorily organized and put
into operation, Subsequent measures
will have as their object a fair and
equitable control of the distribution
Of the supply and of the prices not
only at the mines but also In the
hands of the middleman and the re-
tallers.
THE prices Professionally fixed here
are fixed by my authority under the
provisions Of the recent act Of CON
gress regarding administration of the
food supply of the country, which also
conferred upon the executive control

upon the actual cost of production and
are deemed to be not only fair and

Our boys are now in that dreadful
cauldron of DEATH and suffering, the
battlefield of France. Many mother
has sent her only son away to the
land she has never seen to fight fol
the cause of Liberty qnd Freedom.
Other mothers have given Several sons
for this noble cause.
This is the moment of opportunity,
Grasp it beforeSsit, is too late. Sub.

WILL BUY BONDS
BY MARTHA KIMBALL WOOD,
Member Women's Liberty Loan
Committee.

ss Never before in. history, save in the
mind Of Plato in his ideal republic,
has the economic or financial aid Of
women been sought by the government
OF a nation. Since Susan B. Anthony
sounded the reveille of equal suffrage,
women the world over have been clam
oring for their rights. And now that
the government asks our aid, In, no
way will women gain suffrage more
surely than through responding to
every call the government makes upon
them.
Washington has asked us to con-
serve foodstuffs and other necessities
.Iof life; to support the Red Gross: to
register women for war service; to
protect the interest of women and
children in industry; to relieve the
suffering -0f our allies in this great
entente; yet at the same time to cur
tail in no way our aid to home chari-
ties. These requests prove that while
in some states suffrage is withheld,
the government feels that we are en-
tirely capable Of doing any work asked
OF us; and now the supreme thst, from
q mans standpoint, is placed in our
hands to be Of financial aid to the gov.
eminent Of the United States.
These thoughts have been, in the
mind of every thinking woman and are
reasons why every woman Should sup
port the Liberty Loan. However, do
not believe them to be tie supreme
reasons why they will support the
loan. m
Every real woman is potentially a
mother. In our new National Army
there are 6S7,0OO first call" men; and
this means nearly million mothers
anxious that the war should cease be-
fore their sons are called upon to face
the sacrifice required Of the boys Of
other nations. And there are count
LESS other mothers, without Sons to
offer. but Knowing that unless our
:, troops are. successful and the war
speedily closed, their daughters may
have to bear the shame under which
