SPRING TO SEE
ANOTHER DRAFT
Adjutant General Logan Said to Have
Orders Fixing February
18th as the
Time

According to the Des MONIES Reg
lister, the next draft for men for the
national army will be made in Feb
ruary. The Register claims to have
knowledge of this coming drawing
from the orders sent the adjutant
general. 1t will take considerable
hustling by the exem ption boards to
be in readiness for the starting Of
the machinery at that time, and It is
probable that tentative date is fixed
from the fact that the boards have
two months in which to complete
their dockets, which would make it
in February. Here is what the Reg
lister says:
The next draft will be about Feb
ruary 15.
The 81 percent remaining of the
lirst draft will not be called.
The next increment of men select.
ed for service will be from Class l
of the new draft regulations.
This information comes in an order
to Adjutant General Logan.

The Fuel Admi nistration PROPOSES
Through Industrial Associa-

to Give Advice.
TO HELP CONSERVE FUEL
Corps Of Experts Will 90 Through

Coal Can be
Saved

keokuk manufacturers have an Op-
portunity to have an expert fireman
here to give them some pointers on
fuel conservation. The fuel admins
tration of Iowa is sending out flremen
to the manufacturers Of various Iowa
cities, provided there is demand for
the services of these experts, and the
administration is asking the Indus
trial association to find out the senti-
ment of the Keokuk manufacturers.
The firemen are sent out by the fuel
administration of which Charles Web
ster of Waukon is the head. They
have visited number Of cities in the
state and talked to the firemen and
engineers in the big plants in these,
and also to individuals who fire their
furnaces in their own homes. The
entire campaign is undertaken with a
view to conserve fuel wherever pos
sible and to get the most efficiency
out of the coal.
The administration, of course,
wishes to bring the matter Of scien-
tific firing to the attention Of the big
gest users, in this case the manufac-
trrers, and to this end is offering
dustrial plants throughout the state.
OF course many of the plants in Keo-
kuk are using electrical power. but
there are some plants depending on
steam power.
If the manufacturers wish to take
the matter up they can communicate
at once with the Industrial associa-
ton.
