"sAvE sHovELFUL OF COAL" F."
School Children will Tag Your Shovel
Jan. 80 in Nations Behalf.

Coal Is the great force behind the
men in the trenches, behind the bat
tleships, the transports, the munition
factories and the railroads,
The miners are doing their part to
aid the Fuel SAdministration in it's at
tempt to supply the record breaking
demand caused by the war. They are
mining more coal than ever; before.
The over-burdened railroads are
graphing with the problem of trans
porting this unusual quantity Of coal
in addition to the great amount of
war freight which is congesting their
lines.
As result of all these efforts an
extra million carloads of coal were
mined last year. This is $4,000, 900
tons more coal than has ever been
mined before in any year in the his
tory of the United States, but in
spite of the utmost effort there is
still a shortage of million carloads
which must be made up in every way
possible. It is a physical impossi-
bility to produce this additional
amount at once. 1t must be saved
from the coal already available, and
the American people are asked to do
their part in this emergency by saw
ing shovelful by shovelful in factory
and home this additional coal for war
needs.
AS an aid to the educational cam
paign to save coal the conservation
division of the Fuel Administration
has decided on. January 80, 1918, as
national "Tag-Y Your Shovel-Day."
On that day school children will tie
tags, bearing instructions for coal saw
ing, to, every coal shovel in the coun-
try. This tag should remind each
man, woman and child who uses
coal shovel-that every shovelful of
coal saved means just. so much ad-
ditional power and help for the Amer
lean soldier and sailor on the firing
line.
1t has been remarked. that any
worthy cause which enlists the SYM
pathies of the children is already half
won, for their enthusiasm and eager
ness is spontaneous and catching.
When the 21,000,000. school children
in the UnitedStates start to spread the
word of fuel economy throughout the
country, it is only sane optimism to
believe that practically. every coal
shovel in the country will be tagged,
and that the message of conservation
thus carried will hardly be lightly re-
garded or forgotten.

"The Cossack Whip"

Dainty Viola Dana is the featured
player in Thomas A. Edison's mas
terdrama, "The Cossack Whip" which
will be the attraction at the Gem
next Tuesday. This exciting story is
from the pen of James Oppenheim
ard pictures life in bloody Russia as
it was yesterday and is today. It con-
sists~of a series of gripping situations
that build swiftly and smoothly up to
climax of exceptional spunch" ane
power, and the director is said to have
overlooked no opportunities for
striking effects. The scenes of the
Cossack raids are particularly effect
i've, showing the wild horsemen of the
Russian steppes riding at breakneck
speed through the streets Of the i'll
fated village, slashing with sword and
knout at the crowds of helpless peas
ants whom they have been called
upon to crush. There are scenes, ais
of the interiors of Russian palaces
and Partisan boudoirs; great interiors
Of theatres in London and Petrograd,
and many other tremendous sets that
lift this production out of the oEdi-
nary five-reel Feature" class.

"The Moth. I"

aThe Moth" in which Norma Tai
madpe will be seen at the Grand Tues
day. is a story of life in that section
of the fashionable world which looks
upon diversion as the chief aim OF ex-
istence, and which consequently pc
comes utterly reckless and too ire
ouently immoral in the chase Tor
pleasure. Into this Maelstron comes
a young wife, the mother Of two love-
ly children, who, like the proverpial
moth, hovers dangerously near ene
fame until sharply brought to Ger
senses by dramatic incident calce-
lated to thrill the most blase of movie
fans. Astounding in emotid.nal pos
sibilities and gripping incidents, the
plot gives the charming young star
an opportunity to add one more ar
tistic Interpretation to her already
amazing list of successes.

PARCEL POST MOTOR LINE.
ON Government Route
from Portland to New Orleans.

DonaldsonviIle@ on Government Route
from Portland to New Orleans.
A g2500-mile parcel post motor
truck delivery route from Portland,
Maine, to New Orleans, shortly to be
established by the postoffice depart
tnent, will pass through Donaldson
vile. at any rate for the next year or
more. The last. leg of the route runs
to New Orleans from Jackson, Miss,
a distance Of about 225 miles as the
line is presently planned. When the
Hammond-New Orleans highway for
which a $1,000,000 auto tax is being
collected-and a short strip extending
from Arcola to Osyka are built, it is
said the distance will be much shorter;
Meanwhile, government trucks Will
undoubtedly come down by way OF
Baton Rouge and Donaldsonville. Ex-
cept for six miles of road in Ascep1
sion parish, and another strip just g.
yond Kenner, there is said to be
gravel roadway in fine shape the en-
tire distance.
Leaving jackson, the route follows
closely the Illinois Central Railroad,
passing through Hazelhurst and
Brookhaven, between Magnolia and
Fernwood, all in Mississippi, turning
to the west to cross the state line INTO
Greensburg, and then passing directly
over a state highway into Baton
Rouge. The route from the state
capital to New Orleans will pass
through Port Allen, Plaquemine, Don
aldsonville. Edgard and Hahnville,
crossing the river at Shrewsbury.
Mail from Jackson to New Orleans
will be transported in from fifteen to
seventeen hours. Postal authorities
believe the operation of this road
the longest one of several to be es-
tablished-will aid materially IN the
distribution of food products and IN
lowering their cost. By it fresh vege-
tables and dairy products can be
cheaply and quickly brought from the
farms to the city markets.
Temporarily the law only permlts
the use of motor trucks on star routes
but congress is to be asked for an act
enabling their use on regularly estao-
lished rural routes in the future.
The Portland-New Orleans route
has been surveyed and bids for carry,

1O9 German ships damaged by their
crews prior to their seizure by the

They add more than 100000 gross

damage to these ships, 50 that none
