SPLENDID SELECTION.

~ NE Of the best possible guarantees that the Northern
~ West Virginia Coal Operators association will have
useful career was gwen when at the meeting held here
Saturday C. n. jenkins, Of the Hutchinson Coal oOm-
pany, was elected president With Mr. jenkins at the
head Of it the nov association. which will be the largest
local organization Of coal men the country. will always
reflect the opinions Of the operators who hold membership
IN it. No interest IN the district will be big enough to run
Mr. Jenkins of his feet interest will be too small to get
Just as much consideration as every other interest.
As the president Of the old Central West Virginia Coal
Operators association when entrance into the war
brought down upon the coal industry with almost dramatic
audiences the greatest crisis experienced Mr. en
kns was called upon to take leading part in solving the
problems not only Of the field covered by the association
Of which he was the head but Of the nation whole
A smaller man Intellectually or a less sincere and level
headed one might have been spoiled by this prominence
and responsibility or tempted to become arbitrary Instead
Of having that effect his experience broadened President
Jenkins and made him a better leader; a leader who al
gays took care to have his whole following accord with
lis policy before he moved.
The result was that at the Fe administration they speak
wh gratitude Of the record made by the operators Of the
old Central West Virginia association. 1t is record
that every operator the district may be proud Of for they
all helped to make it. And they can feel certain that they
will be equally influential in the new association. c. H.
Jenkins will be president whom they may feel safe IN
following for they need not be afraid that the
citation viii ever cease to become theirs order to become
Jenkins Jenkins not that kind of man, and that IS
the reason we say that his election guarantee that the
new association will have a useful career.

HERBERT HOOVER
BARES SITUATION
CEREAL OUTLOOK CALLS FOR
DRASTIC LIMITATION, SAYS
FOOD HEAD.
URGES SAVE MORE WHEAT
LAXTY WILL RESULT IN FAR
GREATER SUFFERING BY AL
LIES, HIS FEAR.

Recent reports circulated in Ari-
zona and other states to the effect
that further need for wheat conserva-
tion is unnecessary are declared erro-
neous in a special message by Her
bert Hoover to the people Of Arizona.
The message reads as follows:
Every aspect of the wheat situa-
tion both present and prospective, in
tensifies the need for the greatest
possible limitation in the American
consumption of wheat and wheat prod
ucts. If present restrictions should
be in the slightest degree relaxed it
would result in serious want for the
people of the allied nations before the
new crop can reach the market.
"The food administration estimates
on the first of June a total available
supply until the new harvest of about
fifty7six million bushels. OF this, thir-
ty million bushels must be exported
before new wheat is available for ex-
port If we are to maintain, the alb
solutely necessary shipments to our
army and the Allies, that leaves about
tWenty-six million bushels for domes-
tic consumption for the next two
months. Normal American consump-
tion is something over forty million
bushels month, SO that the most
liberal consumption at home should
be only one-third of normal.
'The new harvest will not, be gen.
orally available in flour until the mid
die of August or early in September,
although in the extreme south it will
be somewhat earlier.
cat meeting of the federal food
administrators in Washington, repre-
senting all forty-eight states, it was
the unanimous view that even if the
harvest does prove abundant it will
be the first duty of the American peo-
pie to place every grain they can save
into storage as against possible bad
years ahead. In consequence there
should be no anticipation of unlimited
wheat bread until the war is over.
"Some of the most inconvenient re
strictions can no doubt be modified
with the arrival of a large harvest, but
if we are honest with ourselves we
will maintain restrictions requiring
the use of some substitutes in both
domestic and commercial bread"
