Farmers who have reported they
have excessive supplies of flour left
from last winter were requested in
letters mailed by Charles Breun, Jr.,,
county food administrator. to sell the
flour to the nearest merchant. Mr..
Breun said 10000 pounds Of -four is ex-
pected to be brought into circulation
as a result of the plan. This action
was taken as a part Of the procedure
which followed county flour survey
and resulted in 10000 pounds of flour
being brought to a county warehouse
established by Mr.. Breun. The 10000
pounds outstanding has not been
turned in. Mr.. Breun said, because of
the rough onditions Of the roads.

forty nine pounds for home consump-

COAL WEEK is CONTINUOUS.
Campaign Originally Scheduled For
Seven Days to Last All Summer.

| Special to Times Republican.
! Des Moines, June l0-While coal
week has been generally observed in
| Iowa and many cities are reporting
more coal in storage than is usually
the case by Sept. l, yet reports from
Washington and eastern coal centerS
are far from assuring and greater
vigilance is being urged on the part OF
fuel committees tfruout the state
Conferences between members of the
fuel administration have resulted in
the determination to extend coal week
thru the entire summer, to keep urging
the public to store their supply and
thus prevent. so far as possible the
certain coal famine which Will strike
the state next fall.
Noticeable activity in all parts of
the state is the result of coal week
thus far Many mayors of cities and
towns awakening to the urgency OF the
situation have issued proclamations
calling the attention of their com
munities TO the necessity OF preparing
for next winter. Fuel committees, ever
awake to the needs of their localities,
have gone on record calling attention
10 the fact that with hard coal forbid
den in Iowa, with eastern coal finding
eastern markets, the people of Iowa
must depend almost entirely upon
Iowa coal.
In several cities where many of the
coal consumers are employed by
larger industries, arrangements have
been made whereby employers have
underwritten the coal orders for their
employees and arranged credit by that
method. At certain manufacturing
points because Of the arrangement
hundreds of families have been sup
piled with their winter fuel and are
paying for il on the weekly installmenr
basis.
All coal operators from Iowa attend
ing the big coal conference in Philadel-
phia last week returned home this
week with a determination to keep
Iowa from suffering from a fuel
famine as nearly as possible. One OPP
orator, representing one Of the biggest
group Of producing mines in the state,
declared that every mine in Iowa mast

every miner employed, and a stream

The present conditions and objects for
which war now exists were plainly set

and teachings OF Jesus Christ was
made the thought basis and the class

age"

MAIL SERVICE suNGLED.
Merchants Association Of New York
Scores Rurleson.

Scores Burleson.
Washington, June 10.-Delay in the
transmission Of letters and other mail
matter, of which there is increasing and
widespread complaint is due princi-
pally to Reorganization of the railway
mail service by Postmaster General
Burleson, according to the result of an
extended estigation made by the
Merchants Association of New York.
The finding of the associations in
vestigation committee have been pre-
sented to congress with a plea for an
inquiry by joint congressional COM
mittee. and the postoffice department,
blaming deranged and congested rail-
way facilities for mail delays, is OPP
posing an official investigation.
The conclusion of the Merchants As
ISOLATION report follows:
ut appears clear from the great mass
of evidence set forth in exhibits A to
E that the efficiency Of the mail serv-
ice thruout the United States is
very much below the standards which
prevailed in past years. While 1t is
not possibel for an unofficial agency to
arcertain all the facts that should be
given consideration as a basis for Iinal
conclusion. the evidence herewith war
rants the belief that a principle cause
for the existing conditions is the great
reduction in the railway posta! car
service and the substitution Of railway
terminal postal stations.
"The essential facts developed are:
That mails are not dispatched with
former frequency.
That they are not fully worked in
transit.
That in consequence much Stuck
letter mail is turned into the terminal
station and there materially delayed.
That inferior mails move with ex-
IRENE slowness.
That train delays are not a principal
cause Of slowness in the mails, but
that
Insufficiency in the number OF rail-
way postal cars, their withdrawal from
a great number of routes turnout the
United States. and reduction of the
crews of railway postal cars appear to
be the main cause Of the condition
shown.

Des Moines, June 10.-General Crow
ders figures on the percentage of men
in Glass / in the counties and districts
thru Iowa are widely at variance. The
provost marshal generals Office may
send out instructors to this state to
make adjustments according to his
records
Just how this comes about Adjutant
General Logan and his associates are
at loss to explain Local boards sent
the same figures on the classification
of their men to Washington that they
sent to the state adjutant generals
Office and yet there is but little SINH
larity in Crowder's and Logan's CLASH
fications.
For instance General Crowder names
Des MONIES district No. and also Polk
county as among those which classified
less than Is per cent of their total reg
istrants in Glass l. Iogan'S figures
show that Des Moines district No. l
classified 33 per cent of it's men in Class
! and Polk county Il. Des Moines dis
trict No. is placed among those less
than 2S.7 per cent. whereas Logan's
figures place it at So per cent. District
No. in Des Moines is placed as having
between 20 per cent and 2S.7 per cent.
whereas Logan's figures show this dis
trict as classifying less than Is per
cent in Class l. In this instance
Logan's figures are lower than those
of the provost marshal general. SINH
lar discrepancies prevail all thru the
state.
Inspectors were sent out from Cen
eral Logans Office several weeks ago
to call on those Iowa boards whose
classifications were unusually low or
unusually high. They have made
their reports and recommendations but
no action has been taken on their rec
concentrations by General Crowder.
1t is announced from Washington
that there is to be Redistribution
turnout the entire country.
New Registration Below Estimates.
The total registration Wednesday of
men who have reached 81 years of age
since June S. 1917, amounted to 1851
whites, 173 blacks, 701 aliens, or total
of 17,4e5. 1t had been estimated that
the total registration for this state
would be $4,000.
1t is announced by Maj. Roy Smell,
disbursing officer for Iowa for the draft,
that the government fiscal year closes
June 80 and the present appropriation
for draft purposes will be available for
services rendered only up to June 80.
After that new appropriation is avail
able All draft boards which have been
renting or leasing quarters will have
to make new leases after June 80.
