Use OF More Wood Urged.

The Federal Fuel Administrators for
Michigan in q communication to the
County Administrator says that 1t will
be necessary to require Of all communi-
ties where wood can be obtained to
use wood in place Of coal In almost
every town some wood can be had
within short distance. People i'm
rural communities shoul1 refrain from
asking for coal if it is possible to get
wood"
A number of farmers having timber
are cutting the same into wood and
Offering it for sale. Without doubt
it will be impossible to obtain
sufficient supply OF coal to meet the
demands of the county and to avoid
much suffering for the next three
months wood will have to be burned.
