RED BALL COAL
All Fuel Shipments in State To

Plan Is To Kepe Cars Running

C, H. BANNER is At WORK
He Probably VIII Check Up All
Idle Cars.
More Cars Will Enable Mines
To Produce More.
C. H. BANNER is At WORK

Plans to keep every coal car work
ing twenty-four hours a day will be
adopted by the state fuel administra-
ton board. 1t is probable c. H. Dan
ner. state free employment agent. and
a member of the advisory board, will
make several trips over Kansas rail-
roads in an effort to determine the
number of idle coal cars and if pos
sible to put the cars in immediate use
Every city and county in the state will
be provided with local advisory
board and the state organization will
gather facts concerning supplies, de-
mands and prices in all localities.
Immediate action will be taken
looking to organization of the state
for distribution of the fuel supply.

cations would be made concerning
above normal supplies are received in
certain cities, they will be rerouted 81
districts which have been unable to
meet local demands. In this manner
it is believed the state gapization
will be able to keep the coal supply
on a footing with the demand.
Speed Up Mines.
mines in Kansas have been run
ming less than forty per cent" Dan
ner stated today. THE big trouble
is the shortage of cars at the mines
Yet there are thousands of idle cars
1t is probable we shall make special
/ trips over various railroads in efforts
to determine the number of idle coal
cars on the tracks and in various rail-
road yards.
Our plan is to red BALI every car
of coal that leaves the mines. Not
only do we propose to make the ship
ments of loaded cars preferential ship
ments, but also their return to the
mines We have asked a ruling from
Mr.. Garfield providing that coal cars
can not be used except for hauling
coal. If these cars are kept constant
ly on the move and their use not di-
verted for other purposes, we can meet
the situation
Investigate Prices.
Investigation will be made of the
purchases, contracts and sales of loca
coal dealers in Topeka and other Kan
sas towns. In Topeka a committee OF
three men will cooperate with Dan
ner in handling the local situation
| These men are Luther C. Bailey, o. S
True and JIG. Mohler, secretary of the
state board of agriculture.
Prosecutions are threatened in every
instance where dealers refuse to pro
! duce records and faccs for state anC

Washington, Oct 1.-THE powers

him more power than any other exec

The passage of the act and the ex-
ercise of its powers by the president
is expected to result in a blacklist of
persons and firms with which no
/ American can trade.
/ Such a blacklist is almost demand

vices by Great Britain because,
while Great Britain sought control
over matters upon which she had no
proper jurisdiction, the United States
in this case is merely directing the
uses of her own property to the win

HOW Strawberry Got Its Name.

Two reasons obtain as to the origin
Of the name of the strawberry, one
that the name was bestowed because
of the long stems which resemble
straws. and the other because of an
old custom of stringing the berries on
straws. The strawberry succeeds from
Florida to Alaska, and while 1t does
best on a moderately rich loan soil,
yet 1t is susceptible to cultivation in
nearly all temperate or tropical eli
mates. The principal wild strawber-
ries of the United States are the Fra
garia v~irginiana" and the "Fragaria
americana" The everbearing type,
"Fragaria ~vesca," is native to Europe.
Garden varieties of strawberries have
been derived chiefly from the Gillian
strawberry. ".Fragaria chiloensis," and
the Virginia species.

NAVY Older Than Government,

The United States navy has the dis

the government itself, for nine months
before the actual Declaration of indie

struction of two national" cruisers
and appointed a committee to purchase
vessels to form the nucleus of a fleet.
Within three months Of its appoint

How Coffee Got Its Name.

Coffee takes its name from Kaffa, a
district of Abyssinia where 1t came
from and where 1t still grows In a
wild state. The story goes that In the
fifteenth century an Arab herder Of
goats, having noticed that his animals,
after browsing on the leaves and ber-
ries Of certain bushes, became exceed
ingly lively and playful, was prompted
by curiosity to chew a quantity OF
these berries. He found them OF
pleasing taste and that they had the
same refreshing and stimulating effect
upon him. Having told other herders
of this, they tried them in various
ways, until 1t vas finally discovered
that the best results could be obtained
by making a strong infusion of the
roasted beans in boiling water, which
yielded an aromatic beverage Of pleas
ing taste, which greatly refreshed and
stimulated.

No Place for Women.

Underwriters at LlOyds In London
were shocked to learn that the mill
tary tribunal had suggested the assign

men fit for service there. There was
even talk of n strike.
Edward e. Nichols, a member of the
directing committee, replied: THE
tribunal doesn't know what 1t Is about
If it Endorses this suggestion. Anyone
who knows how business is conducted
at LlOyds knows that 1t Is a seething
mass of struggling people. No woman
could decently take part in such work.
Underwriters are already employ
ing women as clerks In their offices,
and they are doing excellent work.
This, however, has been carried about
as far as 1t can be. 1t takes a lifetime
to train men to work on the floor at
Lloyds. If more men are taken from
us, it will simply become impossible to
insure ships"
