THE COAL

AS to the local coal delivery situa-
ton. so many people ask questions,
the Register had a talk with H. E.
Riley, of the Brookings Lumber &
Fuel Co.. and from him cleaned the
following information:
Your order is one of 700 to 500,
making a total tonnage of 400 tons
for Bookings dealers to handle. And
the government is handling the hard
coal situation in the following man.
ner: You file your order here and it
is listed and SEN to the state admin
istrator who lists all orders of the
state and figures out the allowance
on a basis of 80 per cen Of the hard
coal used in 1916 and 1917. These
figures give B~rookings the 400 tons
named above. Then he places these
orders with the agent of the National
administration at the docks, ordering
the shipment of the amount that is
coming to the dealer in Bookings.
The dealer is ordered to distribute to
his customers in the order in which
their orders have been filed. All or
ders of four tons and less may be
filed in full. All orders of over four
tons are allotted two-thirds of the
amount until further notice. So at
the first delivery the customer gets
two-thirds of two-thirds Of his origin
al order. When all who have ordered
are supplied on the first round, to this
extent, then another delivery will be
made. Stores and public buildings
cannot use hard coal Of q larger size
than pea Nut size coal is to be sold
only to Q Of magazine stoves.
Under this plan all win get four
ninths Of their supply before any one
gets any more. The notices about
getting your coal. means all kinds Of
lcoal. SOFT - wen - hard You can

citizens of Iuka passed away We'd
nesday, May LIST, 1918. Mr.. Moore
has been identified more or less
with Iuka for fifty years and we
may say another of the old land
marks has been removed.
His convictions were so strong
that they often amounted to preiu-
dice, vel on moral issues and move
ments for The good Of his town you
would find him on the right side.
He made a good soldier and was
staunch in his fealty to the Lost
Cause IIis patience at the last
was marked and may we hope that
it sprang from a conviction that
the end was near and that he spent
those moments preparing for the
beyond. X. X.

No apologies are necessary. The
salesman offering Liberty Bonds has
the best line in the world.
When you start out to sell Liber-
ty Bonds. you will get an intimate
view of human nature. You may
run across a woman who will stint
her table to buy a bond, or one
who is too poor because she has just
invested in dog, cut according to
the latest fashion.
You will find lot of kids that
have cheerfully given up candy and
other knicknacks to buy thrift
stamps. And you will find men
who will spend the price of a bond
in an evening, too strapped to sup
port their Government.
You will meet with politeness
and with rudeness, with frankness
and with evasion. Some few will
even buy more bonds than they
should; but most people will show
degree of caution that is out of
keeping with the crisis we are fac
ing.
But remember that, in selling
these bonds, you have to apollo
gize to nobody; while whoever fails
to respond generously to your APP
peal owes you an apology.
There are few days left for work.
Lets go see everyone-there are a
great many who have not had the
opportunity to buy.
Yours to win the war,

HISTORIC RECORD MADE IN
SHIP PRODUCTION

Washington, June Con the
heels of the German submarine raid
in the North Atlantic, the shipping
board announced tonight that pro-
duction of new vessels inMay was
the greatest of any month in the
history of the nation. There were
completed and delivered to the ship
ping board A ships, total 263,571
tons, three times the output of jan
uary and twice that of February.
Production for the first five
months of the year is well along to-
ward 100000 tons, which officials
expect to be passed this month.
Beginning with SS,507 tons in jan
uary, the deliveries Increased to 1884,
625 in February, 1881 in March
and 16O,2S6 in April, making total
with the May output of S0S,600 tons.
Production in the United Kingdom
was S7,S52 tons in January, $780,
O57 tons in February, 252,511 tons
in March and 169, 900 tons in April,
a total of 659,42O tons. The Brit
ish output for May has not yet been
received here.
Total American deliveries since
last September have been 10 ships
of 1.112,S97 tons, the output for
nine months being nearly three times
greater than the best previous en-
tire year, 1901, when 402,136 tons
were completed, exclusive of the
Great Lakes. Great Britain's great
est shipbuilding yer was 1913, when
the deliveries totaled 2,9S9,229 tons.
officials of the board declined to
estimate the June tonnage. 1t is
believed, however, that they hope to
complete at least 100000 tons.
The last six days of May were the
banner week of the shipping boards

PAYMENT OF INCOME TAXES
MUST BE BEFORE JUNE IL

Washington.-Bills for income
and excess profits taxes have been
mailed by all revenue collectors, the
Revenue Bureau announced today,
and payment must be made on or be-
fore June15. Failure to receive a
notice does not exempt a person from
payment.
Many thousands are paying their
taxes without waiting until the last
day, but corporations and big bust
ness interests generally will pay on
the 18th, many by turning in tax
certificates of Indebtedness. The
treasury has urged that certificates be
used in this way.
Some business men have complain
ed to the treasury that they have not
sufficient funds to pay their taxes
and that they cannot borrow from
banks. No relief is available for
them from the treasury, as the War
Finance Corporation is making no
advances for this purpose.
