To All Retail Coal Dealers,
 To All County Fuel Administrators,
 State of Arkansas:
 Continued Cooperation on the part of producers, dealers and con sumers will avert the fuel shortage and industrial difficulties of last winter during the ensuing season.
 But there must be cooperation, and there must be more or less stringent regulations prescribed for the hand ling of fuel. The acceptance of these regulations prescribed for the handling of fuel. The acceptance ot these regulations however as hereto fore, with the same patriotic willing ness and sacrifice on the part of tn citizens of Arkansas, it will be found that the burdens will not be heavy upon any one and we will also ren- der a valuable assistance to the big gest and best government m the world.
 One of the regulations to be put in to effect at once to facilitate and make more uniform the distribution of fuel. is that every retail coal and coke dealer in the state, of whom there are about one thousand, must be registered by September lst, 1918
 The section of the law requiring this registration follows: t "All persons, firms, associations anc corporations engaged in the distrlpu, tion of coal or coke in the State o1 Arkansas as retail dealers, l. e., whe physically receive, handle and deilv- CT coal or coke to consumers iron docks, yards, trestles, vehicles harpes. or vessels, owned, hired, ol chartered by them, or from cars con stoned to them, including employers who sell and distribute coal or coke to employees, shall on or before the first of September, 1918, or II they bepin business after that day, then before beginning business, register with the county fuel committee ol each county in which dock, yard ol trestle owned or hired by such retal dealer is located, and of each county in which such retail dealer delivers ol distributes coal or coke to consum i
 ers."
 :, All retail dealers should secure ap plication blanks from the county rue committee. 1 Certificates will be issued to al registrants, and no dealer without certificate will be permitted to re ceive or sell coal or coke. There wa be no fee for registration. ] H. c. COUCH.
