Rail- Rate Expert Reports Slow

Lake Terminals.
Long Threatened Shortage Will b
come Reality in Very Few
Months.

sAfter talking with the best In
formed men in the National Fuel Ad.
ministration at Washington, rerurn to
North Dakota impressed with the ab.
solute necessity Of stocking up with
coal now, when we can get It, il we
are to avoid freezing to death next
winter" said James A. Little. rite ex.
pert for the North Dakota railway
commission when he got back from the
national capital.
LESS thnn 30 per cent of the nor
NAL amount of anthracite has come up
the lakes to date. We huve received u
fair amount Of bitumlnOus coal, but
none can say when 1t will begin to
move again. This means that we must
rely upon our own native fuel, Ignite,
and II the Ignite mines are to take
care Of US. we must begin filling our
bins now. II we do not buy coal now,
the mines will have to close. Later on
when the rush comes with the begin
ming of cold weather. the mines will be
unable to meet 1t. and we will be up
against actual suffering such as we
never nave known before.
II am convinced that fuel is the big
gest problem which will confront North
Dakota next fall. We know what our
winters are. If we wish to avoid facing
them with no coal for our furnaces, we
m,;st act now"

SIGN YOUR PLEDGE
AND MAKE GOOD

BY this time everyone In North Dn-
kota should have signed II pledge for
the very largest amount of Thrift
Stamps which he can buy. 1t IL now
up to us, says the North Dakota COun-
Gil Of Defense, to make up our minds
to keep that pledge. Nothing Is easier
than saving by instnlment. II IS this
fact that has built up our great Ameri-
Gun building and loun associations.
There is hardly wage-earner in
North Dakota who cannot spare IS per
month to invest In Savings Stamps.
Such an investment, for the next six
months will buy more than seven GER
tificntes, which In 1923 will lnuture Mt
between $35 and $40. Many of us can
and should multiply that 81 minimum
by ten and accumulate $4O0 worth of
stamps before January l, 1919.

been taken over by private producing
companies who are exhibiting It for
their own profit. In North Dakota, II

we must most carefully guard here in

government as:
