State Fuel Administrator H. (. Couch is not one of those who believe in taking chance" He believes i'll preparedness, in looking as far ahead as possible, and in arranging before hand to meet emergencies. It is be- cause he is that kind of man that he has become one of the leading fig ures in the development of Arkansas properties and opportunities, and was selected by National Fuel Administra- tor Garfield to handle the fuel situ- ation in this state.
 Mir. Couch made good" in the last fuel crisis, but now that the winter is past, he does not propose to permit such situation to again exist, if he can prevent 1t. In a letter just sent out to the county chairmen the state fuel administrator gives this good ad- vice:
 Reorganization will win.

 Empress upon them the necessity of beginning now to make plans for laying in next winters supply of fuel
 "The war will make such a heavy demand on the coal mines and the rail- roads that it will be impossible for many of those who have heretofore us ed coal for heating and cooking pur- poses to secure enough for their needs. The consequence is greatly increas- ed demand for firewood, with cores bonding increase in price when the winter comes upon us.
 "The establishment of wood-yards in every city, town and village should be encouraged. Blytheville ran out of fuel, raised $2,00O in few hours, ad- vertised for farmers to bring in wood. and in few days had 700 cords piled up for sale at cost of handling.
 Municipal woody yards under direct ion of your mayor and council are most desirable where the proper spirit can

MORE WAR GARDENS NEEDED.
 It is announced from Washington that three times as many war gardens are required this year as were planted last year.
 This will mean tripling of the ef- fort put forth last year.
 It also means that there should be no vacant lots utilized in any town or city in the United States.
 If owners of vacant lots do not see their duty it is incumbent upon offic- ials of the city to point out the duty to be performed.
 Persons owning lots who are not in {, position themselves to cultivate them should let somebody else do that. It won't hurt the land.
