NOT ENOUGH COAL IN SIGHT

"As far as can be seen there will
not be enough coal next winter to sat
isfy all needs if we drift along as US
ual. We are heading for sure and
certain shortage unless we put forth
heroic efforts to prevent it. Unless
we can keep the mines running and
the railroads hauling every day of
this summer, we are inviting a repe-
tition of last winters agony, and we
will assuredly get what we invite.
The retail dealer is the defender Of
his community against such perils as
this. 1t is up to him to man the
trenches and resist the onslaughts of
coal famine Without him the COM
munity is helpless. But this is an
enemy he cannot fight without the
help of the coal consuming public.
An attach in January can only be de-
Tended in May, June and July. The
only ammunition against fuel famine
is coal, and it must be stored in the
summer if it is to be used in the
winter. Again we warn you to place
your orders N0W."-U. S. Fuel Adm.

Memorial union Sunday services
brought large audience to the Meth
odist church. The exercises were very
appropriate. Fourteen old veterans
and twice that number of Relief Corps
members occupied a conspicuous CEN
ter section of the auditorium. The
music was especially appropriate to
the occasion, as were the decorations.
And the address of Rev. F. A. Steph-
ems left no pleasant taste in the mouth
of the Stacker, the non-ccntributor and
pacifst. 1t abounded in patriotic
points, extolled tGe old soldiers and
the cause for which they fought in
the Civil war period. He spoke right
out in meetin', as it were, the kind of
talks that are needed~to stir the dor
mant element that has not yet awaken
to the great cause for which the allied
forces of the world are battling.
