LETTER TO THE EDITOR:


little space in your paper to Of
fer some suggestions in regard
TO our returning soldiers, az |
feel that we owe them debt of
gratitude we will never be able
to pay, but we ought to show
them some appreciation in some
appropriate manner as best we
can. So suggest that Lee,
Scott and Wise counties join in
general celebration in honor
Of all their returning soldiers,
July 4, 1919. This day was
made national holiday on the
signature OF the Declaration of
our independence, and | think
this day is the most appropriate
ut this time as our soldiers have
not only retained our freedom,
and independence, but has
practically buried Autocracy,
and freedom and liberty set
upon earth.
Our brave boys have SO nobly
defended the stars and stripes
and brought honor to us all
that | cannot find words suili.
Gent to express my gratitude.
Our flag has never been torn
down in malice by any nation
on earth, and the way our
American boys display them
selves, by the help of God, no
nation will ever pull it down,
30 we can feel safe when our
boys are at the front in our de-
Tense.
BY the 9TH of July next the
boys will oil be back among us
and | think we all can well af-
ford to celebrate in honor OF
them and leave Off all other en-
tertainmcnts.
We could have the soldiers
come in uniform and have some
good speakers to address the
boys, and | think we could get
some American flags, and per
haps some captured German
cannon and guns and perhaps
some flying machines and
have sham battle in the air.
| only mentioned Ice, Scott
and Wise as participants, but
if there are other counties that
would like to join us we would
meet and greet them with out
stretched arms.
So | suggest that we have
our celebration at Big Stone
Gap on the day above mention.
ed.
! would like to hear from ali
the counties in regard to this
suggestion and if it meets with
their approval | would ask all
to put their shoulders TO the
wheel and let us have the
greatest feat that was ever
pulled off in Southwest Virgin
ia.
Thanking you in advance for
the publication OF this, | remain.
Truly yours,
". s. CoLDIRos.
Olinger, Va, Nov. 40, 1918.
Tho Post fully endorses the
suggestions made by Mr.. Cold
iron, and believe that this
would be an excellent way of
showing our appreciation of the
boys, the majority of whom will
doubtless have returned home
by July ith, and giving them a
genuine home coming welcome.
Let Us hear from others on the

London.-No greater care and Sc
crecy could attend the shipment OF
royal Jewels than is observed In ship
ping American troops to France. To
safeguard his boys Uncle Sam takes
every possible precaution. from the
time they embark until the transport
has reached Its destination. He leaves
no loophole for the Vaccinations OF
enemy agents.
Usually, as result of this elaborate
protective system. the trip from An
Atlantic port" to the French or Eng
lish port, as the case may be. is re-
markably uneventful. All elements OF
danger have been 80 carefully antict-
pated that the risk II reduced to the
lowest minimum.
Until the troops and civilian pas
sengers have reached the pier they do
not know the name Of their ship. 1t is
only q number to them. On the regu-
lar troopships 1t Is didacult for ct-

woek, to secure q passage. Those who
manage to do 10 are subjected to close
scrutiny, and their credentfals and lug
gage are thoroughly examined.
Gmbarssatien Begins Early.
Embarkation often begins several
days before the transport sails. All
good-bys have been said before the
troops start for the ship. No relative
or friend may accompany them to the
pier. This rule applies to the omcers
as we'll as to the men.
Once aboard, there they remain. no
shore communication being permitted.
This regulation imposes no hardship
other than inactivity. Until all troops
have been assigned to quarters and or
ganixation has been effected. the men
are left pretty much to their own de-
vices.
No restriction Is placed on writing.
and bags are kept open for soldiers
mail up to almost the hour of sailing.
This privilege gives many chance to
get of neglected letters and postcards,
although these. as q matter Of precau-
tlon, are not put into the mails until
the ship has passed through the sub
marine zone.

Fuel Administration
Says Buy Coal Now

The United States Fuel h~drhihistFa-
ton recommends the immediate pur-
chase and storage of coal for domestic
use for next winters consumption.
Every consumer should file with his
dealer an order for the amount of coal
that will be necessary to run his
household for the year ending Marcs.
81, 1919. These orders should be In
writing and dealers will fill them as
coal is available, Consumers who are
not successful in having their orders
accepted by the dealers should apply
TO the local Fuel Administrators. 1t is
compulsory for all consumers to hle
with their dealer a sworn statement
of the amount Of coal they have on
hand, the amount he has ordered, the
amount of coal he used the twelve
months prior TO March 81, 1918, and
what amount in tons will be necessary
for the next winters consumption.
The purpose Of the above plan is to
secure the broadest distribution OF
coal, to the end that all consumers
may be treated alike, and that the coal
supply may equal the demand.

Fuel Administration Announces Zone
System to Eliminate Long
Hauls

The United States Fuel Administra-
tion, IN cooperation with the Director
General Of Railroads, the
completion OF a zone system To gov
ern the distribution of Bituminous
coal during the coal year beginning
April /, 1918. The general affect of
the system is to restrict eastern coal
to eastern markets. and to I'LL the
vacancy in the central and western
states with the nearby coal produced
In these states. The system will ell
inmate the movement OF than
tive million tons of Pocahontas coal to
Chicago, over a haul OF $50 miles.
sras tonnage os coal must DO secured
by Chicago, from Southern Illinois
mines, The restriction imposed OF
~ movement OF coal by the one sys-
tenn, will make necessary some read
justments in fuel in various COM
manities affected by these restrictions
The fuel administration confidently
expects the patriotic cooperation of
every coal consumer who may be in
conyenienced by the use OF fuel to
which he is not accustomed. Coal for
special uses, such as by-products gas,
hiacGsmlth, and metalnrgical coal.
will be exempt from the restrictions
OF the tone system. Permits will be
issued to the individual consumers Of
this class of fuel. Application for
these permits must be made to the
Permit Bureau OF the United States
Fuel Administration in Washington.
The zone system as It affects South
Dakota has the following applications,
The total receipts of coal in South
Dakota for the year 1917, amounted
to one million twenty three thousand
net tons. The proposed plan prohi-
bits the movements of coal from the
producing districts in Iowa, Indiana,
West Virginia and Kentucky by rail,
which for the year 1917, amounted to
approximately $4,000 tons.
Eoaf from mines in the Illinois Pre-
ducing districts will be permitted to
move in to South Dakota, In the sum

Der, sOth, to points on the south OF the
line OF the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.

tending through Benton Junction, and
Ortonville. Minnesota, Aberdeen and

souri, River, thence along said river
TO Sioux City, Iowa, but from October

may be shipped to South Dakota.
