That is what Hoover invites you to

is wasted in even the best-regulated
homes, in homes where housewives
pride themselves upon being economi-
cal and saving. If you put your mind
to it it is surprising how much can
be saved even after you have decid.
ed you are saving all you can. But
most people are not saving. They
waste enough food to feed an extra
person or two land never think any
thing about it. But now times are
different and every one should think
seriously of how to save. "Save the
waste and win the war" After the
war is won will be time enough te
waste. Now is the time to save, tt
waste nothing. By wasting even &
small amount each day you may be
starving somebody and helping the
Kaiser. Don't waste and help the
Kaiser; save and help Uncle Sam ant

Washinton Dispatch, June %.
Sweeping reductions in the price of
bituminous coal at all mines east of
the Mississippi river, ranging from
enc to five dollars a ton to the pub
lie with an additional cut of so cents
for the government, were agreed upon
today at conferences between the OPP
orators and government officials. The
new prices become effective July 1.
: Four hundred operators who gath
cred here yesterday at call from
Secretary Lane pledged themselves
to furnish their product by commit
tees from each field. Earlier in the
day they had agreed to place the
price-fixing in the hands Of the gov
eminent, through the Defense Coun-
ellis coal production committee. Sec
rotary Lane and Commission Fort

thus avoiding the possibility of vio-
lating the antitrust laws.

Director Smith Of the geological
survey estimated that the reduced
prices would mean that the opera.
: tors would get S18O,OOO,OOO less an
nually for their output and that the

coal consuming public would be ever
i greater.
In addition to placing prices upor
coal at the mines it was announced
that jobbers, brokers, retailers ans
commission men would be permitted
to charge commissions of not more
than rs cents ton and that no more
than one commission should be charg
