Tag Your Shovel day. falls on
Wednesday, and Ii is expected that
governors, mayors and teachers will
unite in arranging for q school holi-
day-one of the few special national
school holidays ever proclaimed. Two
great printing plants are now turn

may be taken for granted that all
the children everywhere except those
who are unfortunate enough to be
down with measles or humps or
something will be on the Job Jan. 80,
for Uncle Sam.
Fuel Administrator Baker points to
this tag day as different from all
other tag days. Instead OF asking
for cash contributions, the school
children will demand that household
ers save money-save money for
food, for war savings stamps, for
Liberty bonds and at the same time
add to the governments coal pile.
A million carloads of coal, more
than ever were taken out of the
ground in this country in a single
year were mined and delivered In
1917. Another million carloads were
needed, but no human power could
make so sudden an increase in pro-
duction, where the bare physical re-
uuirements were on so vast q scale.
But the necessities of the war can
not wait, and the American people
must face a typical American prob
lem, meeting and satisfying an I'M
heard increase in demand for coal
with inadequate facilities for Great
ing increased supply.

ed, Brig. Gen. John w. Heavy, chief

eral, Is brigadiers and AZ colonies.
Causes Of elimination of the officers
are given as physical disability, 511;
designations. CAS- and action of eff
cheney boards, 1852. Thirty officers
were dismissed by sentence of court
martial and two are carried on the
rolls as deserters. The large number
of officers dropped can be satisfactori-
ly explained, General Heavy said, by
the fact that only small proportion
had ha any military training while
substantial proportion lacked the nee
essary basic education and physical
qualifications The aggregate strength
of the national guard drafted into fed
eral service is given as 100 Offic-
ers and 367.223 enlisted men.
