BUY YOUR COALNOW
CARFIELD'SsADVICE
RATiONING OF DOMESTIC CONSU.
MERS POSSIBLE THIS YEAR,
is WARNING.

Rationing of coal to the domestic
consumer under the card system is
among the possibilities for this year,
according to a recent statement by
Fuel Administrator Garfield Al
though no definite decision will be
made for some time, DR.. Garfield de-
clared that it was the intention of the
fuel administration to take whatever
steps are necessary to insure the sup
ply of the domestic consumer. 1t was
made plain, however, that the action
will be in the form of recommends
lions by the fuel administration and
full authority to carry out the recon-
mendations will be left in the hands of
the local and state administrators.
Buy Coal Now, Says Garfield.
Doctor Garfield also advised the
American people to begin at once lay
ing in supplies of coal for next winter
through the normal channels. Consul
mers should purchase neither more
nor less than their requirments, he
said. Orders placed now. he pointed
out, would be filled before the end of
the summer, and in this way the con-
sumer can do his part in preventing
the repetition of the situation of the
situation which existed during the
last winter
The card system. adoption of which
may become general, will supply not
only to the so-called municipal reserve
piles, but may be extended to the
dealer.
