Imperative Demand For Coal Output

 M LTHOUGH the coal production |SA in the United States has been substantially increased since the first of July, it is still far short of the nations needs.
 President Wilson, in his ringing proclamation addressed to mine work !ers, urged a maximum of effort. Every miner and every operator was asked to do his utmost to increase output. Full time six days in the week was insisted upon.
 At some of the mines in this dis trict lack of cars was given as the reason why the weekly production in August was not keeping up to the record made in July, but the railroad administration claims that the, car supply is now adequate.
 One of the strongest presentations of the coal situation that has yet been made comes from P. B. Moves, direc- tor of conservation, who in am ad- dress delivered few days ago be- fore the annual convention of the Ma tional Association of Stationary En- |gineers held in Cincinnati, pointed out the dire necessity of preventing waste
 "It is estimated" MT. Moves said, ''that the needs of the war call for at least one hundred million tons more coal this year than in 1917 and two hundred million tons in excess of that provided in 1914, the year the war started. As figures, this does not sound difficult, but when we consider that this increase must be produced by lessened man power, and rail- way system very little improved since the war started you will real ize that we have a problem out of range of any other"
 These war needs must be met by the most intensive work .in three di- lrections: First, the increase of pro- (duction; second, through conservation, through saving in every possible way, iand third, by distribution system which shall insure us against lost motion"
 From now on, MT. Moves explained, lit is munitions against casualties. In fcontinuing his remarks he said: Gentlemen, we are facing satas- trophe It is not one of those catas- trophes which makes such a noise that everyone knows when it happens It is silent tragedy. We cannot fill Pershings orders in full because the United States cannot make suf- ficient steel this winter A shortage of steel results almost entirely from lack of coal. Keep this in mind and then look forward to the events of the coming spring.

From the Stars and Stripes. A Tank detachment. fighting on the Somme had just returned, reporting the capture of four German guns. which were on their way back. Tho Australians were full of congratula- tions, mixed with small dash of nat ural envy, when a few minutes later an Australian battery rode up draw ing it's guns with complete outfit of German horses, their own horses draw ing the German guns in the rear. Then everybody shook hands and called it q draw.
 The engineers long since found out that the shovel is one of the prize in- struments of war.
 During the advance to the Vesle, one of the young American engineers, who had tcen hard at it, was seen trudging along with both rifle and shovel. Being a bit Jagged, he stopped for moment. undecided which part of his equipment he would drop in the forward push.
 He dropped the shovel, went on about 10 yards. and then was suddenly seen to turn and come back for his prize pos session. When last seen he was car rying both rifle and shovel, but if the choice had to be made again it vas easy to see that the rifle would have to go.
 One member of an American com pany developed into such a keen sou venir hunter that his mates finally called halt. He had gathered in a German helmet, machine gun belt and several other odds and ends. frequently crawling out under fire to make his haul. Then one day he era wled out and upon returning carefully deposited 9 German dud in the trench. That was a trifle too much for the rest of the out his prize, and on his return trip he was slightly wounded. Now his craze for souvenirs is said to be eternafly squelched.
 
 A wounded doughboy was brought into field dressing station.s The surgeon saw that one leg was badly shot up and said

Exactly the du- ties which Thaw is performing, or whether the desire to leave this coun- try was the motive for enlistment it is not possible to say.

T am sure that I am right, but unless my memory fails me-" said Harris Dickson, the author, "the big sign stretched across Twentieth street showing Uncle Sam with the words,
 Beware of the wratch of patient man, should be Beware of the fury of a patient man
 Tt really does not make any diff ference, but if it is intended for a Dryden quotation it should be the lat ter. I haven't a book of quotations to verify it. It sets out a great truth, whether the word wrath or fury is used. The Kaiser will find it out be- fore he lives to be a very much older man"

 Last week I went up the road with a man and his wife to show them a farm, and we tramped over it and came down to the depot to find that the train was several hours late.

I thought the pest time to close trade was when the buying party was in the humor daresay some of my real estate friends will josh me about it, but if they do I'll say the reason I did 1t was because I was afraid if I turned them loose on the street some early bird might catch them and put them into a cage of their own.'
