of what it will be when completed,
Superintendent Renke says that
both material and labor have hinder

VI ipill AlhNAANoa
Save Coal. v
This is imperative in the mind of
c. f. Wright Of the c. E. Wright Ice
a Coal Co., who this morning stated
in an interview that the people VI
Greenwood must save coal"
"There is 10 present shortage" he
said. "But the dealers are of the op-
inion that Greenwood is getting more
than its share of fuel and are making
an attack on every order sent to this
city. They claim that we are not en-
titled to more coal and that they
should have it.
So the entire fuel problem summed
up nets these two words: "Save coal. !"
1t is now up to every head Of the fam
ily to do his bit in the saving of fuel.
Every lamp saved means less suffer
ing in the future.
Mr.. Wright stated that he had three
cars of coal on the track and stack
in his yards. But that this supply
would not last very long through a
cold spell like this. Only one ton is
allowed a customer at time and ev-
eryone is being cautioned about saw
ing every bit Of coal possible.
Deliveries Are Slow,
While the reporter was interview
ing Mr.. Wright the telephones rang
necessarily in the office, All were for
orders for coal and all ended with the
question:
"How soon can / get h?
"Just as soon as we can get to you,
is the reply always sent back at the
worried, pleader for coal.
Orders are on the books for prac-
tically three days work at the Wright
offices now and more are coming in.
One Dealer Entirely Out.
stoner e. Co. coal dealers told a
renorter this morning that that firm
was entirely out of coal, Orders were
ON the road, Mr.. Lawrence Stoner
said, and that the prospects for their
arrival were at present encouraging
However, there is nothing definite
about this,
While deliveries are being made as
fast as possible, they are slow and

Orders from Indianola, ltta Bena
