SWING OF THE AK IS
WHAck AT THE KAISER
Fuel Administrator o'KeIley Gives
Advice Relative TO Cutting
Wood Next Winter

The following, under a New Orleans
date line, has been sent out by Hon.
John g. O'Kelley, federal fuel admin
I~istrator for Louisiana. 1t is SC timely
that The Clarion publishes it in full.
There is no excuse for a lack Of fuel
in this country when we think Of the
immense forests of almost virgin tim
Der right at our doors. Let every
farmer and every man who possibly
can get in his winter supply of wood
as early as possible. Here is what
Mr.. O'Kelley says
EVERY swing of the ak in the hands
of Louisiana farmers this summer, in
laying aside a great fuel reserve for
there own use and thereby releasing
all available coal for wal industries
and the American fleet, is a Whack at
the Kaiser!
This is the direct message of the
United States Fuel Administration to
every farmer, to every official and to
Ievery other person in the rural COM
munities Of Louisiana.
Every cord Of wood put aside dur
ling the winter in the country also
means Uncle Sans already bnrdened
railroads will have just that much
more transportation equipment for
food and supply shipments of all
kinds for the great American armies
over there!
, Every cord of wood has a heat
value equivalent to three fourths of
a ton of coal every cord of wood sub
stituted for coal means the railroads
do not have as heavy a burden.
Confronted with a demand for
t83,00O,000 more tons of coal this
year to fill the supply for American
ships and war industries. the issue
has been put sqarely up to every
farmer.
Swing your ak; imagine every
chip from the ak is off the wooden
head of the Kaiser!' is a suggested
slogan. Back up your boy, your
neighbor's boy and the boys from
millions Of American homes-take a
whack at the Kaiser
I'm cities, where wood is not avail
able and as wood cannot easily be
substituted for coal in apartments, fur
naces in homes and in factories and
stores, the Fuel Administration is
urging every one to order their coal
now.
1.-THE coal mines ordinarily are
closed during the summer; mines
work only to fill orders and have no
storage facilities, but in every home
there is room or room can be made
for the winters supply of coal now.
"The coal supply can be handled
easier in the summer, too. Railroads
do not have to battle storms and
great snow drifts now. And, with
all homes supplied during the sum
mer, Uncle Sam win be In a better po-
sition to furnish the great quantities
Of coal for the ships and war indus
tries.
IL the mines work every day this
summer, there still viii be a 50,00e,-

The Red Cross is America at her

Through the Red Cross all the pride

Money given to the Red Cross is
an investment nor is it a charity.
It is a sacrament.
To give to this great work is %
