Harold Mueller. young civil engl-

him in the country ard in association
with good many farmers tells this
story: His mother told him to be on

noticed a sign on the fence which read,
"Take home all the pumpkins you
want-free." Mueller thought to him
self, Here is a farmer after my own
heart, who is not a tlghtwad!" He got
three of the largest pumpkins he could
find and returned home with his find.
He was quite proud of his find, and a
few days later inquired of his mother

CENSORSHIP OF
COAL ORDERS

The United States Fuel Administra-
ton has under consideration the ra-
tioning of domestic consumers of coal
under a plan which comprehends a
censorship of every order for coal re-
ceived by any dealer, each order be-
ing compared with figure obtained
by very simple and effective form
ulae, showing the rating of the houses
where the coal is to be used, the ac-
tual inspection of all doubtful cases
and a checking up through inspectors
of statements made by house-holders
as to the coal on hand, the space to be
heated, and the heating system en-
ployed, and an effective refusal to
furnish any householder more coal
than a scientific analysis shows is
necessary if requisite care is taken in
the heating of the houses. All con-
sumers who have obtained a guam
tity of coal in excess of their allot-
ments or who by deceit and misrepre-
sentation have violated any rules or
regulations of the United States Fuel
Administration will be prosecuted.
With the shortage of coal confront
ing the country, it is only through
such detailed regulations that nee
essary supply can be insured to all.
The Fuel Administration expects ev-
eryone to recognize the necessity and
the reason for such supervision and
to cooperate fully with the local COM
mittees entrusted with carrying out
the plan.

GOOD NEWS FOR
EXPRESS employees

Mr.. G.. C. Taylor, president, Amer
ican Railway Express Company, says:
"They will begin to readjust the
wage scale of the larger mum ber of
express employees throughout the en-
tire country and that it is the inten-
tion of the new company to utilize
substantially the entire revenue ac-
cruing from the increased rates will
be in manner available to the ex-
press company in an advance in
wages, but owing to the enormous
organization throughout the entire
country it will be necessary to take
some little time to work out the in
crease in systematic and equitable
manner. None of this money will be
used to increase salaries of the high
er paid man or the officials.
The object being to look after the
lower paid class Of employees and
thereby doing the greatest good to
the largest number and thereby en-
courage them to do everything pos
sible to insure good service to the
public"
