tional fuel administration. He went
to Columbia tonight to confer with
the State authorities about pcrfccting
an organization for the State. II
stated today that he will appoint an
advisory board, composed OF one rep
rcscntativc from each congressional
district. In addition to this, he will
appoint committee composed of three
citizens for each city having 10000
or moro inhabitants, and will appoint
a committee composed OF three citi-
Zens for each county These commit
teemen must be men who are not
directly or indirectly connected with
politics. They, like the State admin
istrator will serve without any COM
pcnsaton A State fuel administration
office will he opened here in the An
decentralization Office building, and a
corps of assistants and clerks will
be engaged.
acquisitions for fuel relief must be
made through the local committees,
who will make Inventories Of the
present supply Of fuel and who will
make estimates from best obtainabe
information Of the consumption Of
fuel in the past, and estimate the
needs for immediate relief When
these committees report to the State
administrator he will make drafts for
fuel on the national administration
Mr.. Gossett says that he can not
begin to give relief until he pcrfects
his organization, and wishes to i'm
press upon the people the fact that
they must not make acquisitions to
him direct. but to their local commit
tee to be appointed. On his return
to Anderson he found batch Of tele-
grams and letters calling for relief
IN practically every section of tho
State. These communications will be
referred to the local committees for
investigation and report.
The organization will be perfected
by the end fthc week and relief will
&c given as rapidly as possible.

EASTPoRT, Me, Oct. 30.-The regu-

that an extension of a few months

ewing TO the small pack o: the season.
The Government has sent out a call
for many thousands of cases OF Maine
sRrdines for the navy, and there will
be a shortage If the season Is not ex-
tended.
For many weeks the large herring,
suitable for canning, have been scarce
about Passamaquoddy bay and Bay of
Fundy, and prices ran high on the
opening of the season. At times $50
a hogshead was paid for the ish.

September was $40.
There are many schools OF britt

for canning, and it will De several
weeks before they grow TO the proper
size to be taken, although a few can
ners are gathering up all IN sight and
packing these small fish ''crosswise"

packed sardines. that are not being
put up this season in quantities.
The Maine coast pack % sa-dines in
recent years has run to about $500, 900
cases and even larger, and this ssason
It is far below that figure, so that
there will be a scarcity Of American
sardines on the market when they are
most needed as an economical food.
There are more than nifty sardine
factories on the Maine coast. but the
largest are located in Eastport. where
q dozen plants are running steadily.
A few put up over 5000 cases OF 100
cans each in a day when Iish is plenti,
full. It required about 500 hOgsheads
of herring OF ten baskets each TO sup
