WHITE QUITS COAL BOARD
Miners Leader John p. White Resigns
as Assistant to Fuel Administra-
tor Or. Garfield. ...

Ottdmwa, Nov. 25.-John P. White.
former president of the United Mine
Workers of America and in earlier
years secretary and then president of
the Iowa ranch of the miners union
has resigned as assistant .tp.,pr. il. A.
Garfield, federal fuel administrator
In the announcement of'Mf. Whites
resignation, DR.. Garfield refers to his
services TO the nation during war time
in highly complimentary terms and
expresses his own gratitude and that
of President Wilson for Mr.. Whites
work
The action of Mr.. White removes
from the fuel administration the one
man In whom coal operators and coal
miners throughout the country had
great confidence, that feeling arising
from the fact that he was virtually
the only man in an executive position
who had an intimate and practical
knowledge of the mining Of coal in
the various fields scattered through
out the country.
Although the altitude OF Mr.. White
and DIR. Garfield does not reveal. the
report had been general among men
identified with the coal industry and
acquainted with conditions at Wash
ington that Mr.. White remained in
the fuel administration during the
progress of the war only through a
sense of patriotic duty. Numerous in
stances have been cited when his adj
vice has been rejected by DR.. Garfield
after the latter had asked for it and
friends of Mr.. White declare he felt
that his efforts to bring about cooper
alton of the administrators authorities
and the coal interests we're not fully
appreciated by the former.
Mr.. White has made no, announce
ment as to his plans for the future. He
resigned the presidency OF the inter
national mine workers. union to as
sociate himself with DIR. Garfield soon
after the direction OF the coal industry
was taken over by the government.

MORE BOYS NEEDED
osKALoosA IS AWAY BEHIND ON
VICTORY CAMPAIGN.

There are us girls and so boys in
oskaloosa who mean to stand behind
the boys in uniform until the day they
are safely home again. They have
pledged and pledged generously to
the United War Work campaign, SO
that the soldier5 and sailors who can
not get home for several months may
still feel that we think that the best
is none too good for them even if we
no longer.need them as fighters. The
patriotism of these Victory Boys and
girls is of the bigger sort and deserves
recognition. We wish that space per-
mitted the printing of the list in full
Here is the honor roll by schools:
High School-17 boys, $3.50; 60
girls, s12S.5O.
ith Ward-13 boys. s1S.25; IL girls,
s21.5O.
Srd Wards boys, s11.5o; IA girls,
s10.70.
End ward-11 boys, STATS; Is
girls, 1885.
1st Ward-6 boys. $3.50; girls.
s1Oo.
Pledges may still be made today
and tomorrow at the Public Library.
The boys and girls who have pledged
nothing should be the ones to. help
bring this city up to it's quota of 900
boy and girl subscribers. We are
far behind it, The first town in the
state to report "over" was Manches-
ter, every girl averaging $500. Our
neighbor New Sharon reports that ev-
cry boy in the High School there
has pledged $500. New Sharon may
well be proud, not because of the size
of the pledge as much as because ev-
cry boy pledged. So viii we have
more to be proud of if lot of boys
and girls pledge s1.00 each than if a
few pledge $500 and this may be
said with all honor to the generous
giver of flyer. Altogether for the
last big pull.

YOU ARE A Stacker.
IF YOU SERVE REFRESHMENTS
BETWEEN MEALS

cut out the Fourth Meal" is the
message from the United States Food
Administration.
The fourth meal is Just as unneces-
sary as the fifth wheel on cart. IL is
not necessary for health, and not nee
essary for social purposes. The Food
Administration believes that any func-
ton, such as theater supper or after
noon tea, which constitutes a fourth
meal, is unpatriotic and contrary to
the principles of conservation and la
Dor.
The Administration is therefore re-
questing that afternoon teas and the
alter suppers be discontinued until af-
ter the war. The consumption OF sand
wiches, cakes and sugar which usually
accompany these meals, especially af-
ternoon meals, especially afternoon
tea, makes an unnecessary waste of
foodstuffs.
There often is legitimate occasion
for banquets, club lunches, church
suppers or similar functions. In such
case the Administrator asks that the
hours be so regulated that the banquet
or luncheon will take the place of the
three regular home meals.
In France or England no meals are
served after nine o'clock at night, and
in both countries public eating plac-
es are closed for a definite period dur
ing the afternoon. "Our people, who
have been spared so much of the hard
ships which the French and English
have undergone, should be glad to cut
out all fourth meals and be content
with the three simple ones which are
enough for health" said United States
Food Administrator j. r. Deems OF
Burlington in letter to the county
food administrator LET the three be
eaten in the home. or in the public eat
ing place, or let one be social func.
ton; whatever they are. make them
simple. plan them in accordance with
patriotism and intelligent food con-
seryation. and limit them to three"
