the cooperation of the steam usors
undertake to establish market for
THIS slack and if sold, that the pro-
ceeds be used first by the Fuel Adj
illustrators to defray its local ex-
penses and then to assist the Council
OF Defense in its war work, and if
any be left, that it go to the Amer
lean Red Cross.
The solution of the problem Of sun-
plying anthracite coal now makes if
possible to operate the mines to their
full capacity.
Inc plan, which has been approved
and put into effect, provides for an in.
crease of one dollar ($1.OU) per ton
for Bernice and one dollar and fifty
cents ($1.50) per ton on spadra an
thracite for prepared sizes to COM
pensate the mine operators for the
lwo-thirds slack for which there was
no market, with the understanding that
the total annual mine run realization
shall not be greater under the in
creased prices than the annual rea1jza-
ton would have been under former
prices.
Ihus, it is shown that the mine op-
orators do not get the increase price
paid by the consumers for the prepared
sizes, but that the increase price paid
will be used for civilian war work pur-
poses as mentioned in Arkansas, Mis-
souri,. Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma,
Texas and Iowa, on divisional basis In
proportion to the amount of this sur
plus slack sold in these States.
Therefore, the solving of this prob
lem insures a supply of anthracite coal
to the domestic consumers, who other
wise would have had to burn btu
minous coal in their base burners and
who will, no doubt, willingly and
cheerfully pay the increased price to
get the coal, knowing, too,, that the
increase price paid by them will be
used for war activities work, provided
the steam users will do their part in
oeAAAAthS eHO oinShs HS Cu1eSd OIdlSS
Fuel Administrators do hereby appeal
to the steam users to equip their boil
ers with CRATES and blowers to use this
slack which will effect a saving in
their fuel costs and at the same time
conserve this fuel-amounting to over
10000 tons-that would be otherwise
wasted and which will be badly needed
this winter

DEMAND FOR THE
ANTHRACITE SLACK
ARKANSAS PLAN is HELPING TO
PROVIDE A MARKET FOR A
FUEL THAT WOULD 9TH
ERWlSE BE WASTED.


The Fuel Administration has issued
the following circular on the Arkansas
plan for the utilization of anthracite
slack:
Application having been made to the
United States Fuel Administration for
a revision of prices of anthracite coal
mined in the Bernice and Spadra An
thracite Coal Fields of Arkansas, the
revision being asked for due to in
sufficient market for the slack pro
duction, which represents 40 to SO per
cent of the total production of these
mines.
The application further stated, that
heretofore this anthracite slack had
been utilized by the zinc shelters for
fluxing of the ores. Prior to the war,
approximately so per cent of the zinc
was used for galvanizing purposes,
and, as almost the total output of iron
and steel is now being diverted to the
manufacture of essential war prod
ucts, as a result but little galvanized
iron is being manufactured There
fore. not to exceed one-third of this
slack could be marketed, and as the
slack is high in carbon and low in vol
atile, it requires special equipment in
the way of grapes and blowers to be
used for steam purposes, and consider
able time would be required to estab-
Iish market for this purpose.
These conditions resulted in the
shutting down of mines from about
April l to June 10, due to no market
for the salck. The demand for pre-
pared sizes of this anthracite coal,
which Is the only hard coal west of the
Mississippi river, made it imperative
that the mines be operated and that
already more orders had been accept
ed by the operators than could be sup
piled in six months, on basis of oper-
ating one-third time, and to add to the
seriousness of this condition, Penn
sylvania nthracite-under the new
zone system-has been restricted in
movement to this district except by
special allotment, all of which made it
necessary that the Fuel Administrator
for Arkansas take hold of the matter
of production at these mines, to the
end that the demand for prepared
sizes be met.
On investigation it was found that
to force the operation of the mines by
requiring them to waste two-thirds of
the slack would be prohibitive as the
value of the slack wasted would great
ly exceed the total net earnings of the
mines and the only solution was to re-
wise the prices, adding the value of
two-thirds of the slack to be wasted
to the price of the prepared Sizes,
which the Fuel Administration de-
ciined to do, only upon the condition
that the two-thirds slack for which
there was no market become the prop
erty of the United States Fuel Admin
istration. And, upon the recommends
ton of the United States Fuel Admin
lstrator for Arkansas, the increased
prices on prepared sizes were APP
proved by DR.. Garfield, United States
Fuel Administrator, with the under
standing that the Fuel Administrators

Many beautiful homes are on the way.
The spring water is noted for It's
healthful qualities and DR.. Junlzin in
tends to establish sanitorium there
in the near future. There is lovely
"Wayside Inn" now where travellers
may get hot or cold lunches and
chicken dinners. They have good
schools nearby and the Methodist
church house is just across the road
from Dr. Junkin's home. I heard a
good sermon by Brother Rogers while
there and met several Of the members
in church and Sunday school work.
Some l remember are Mr.. and Mrs.
Will borough, Mrs. James Borough,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. c. Younts and Miss
Nan Murphy, who called upon us at
Mrs. Junkins
We visited the National Bauxite
mine, which is just mile away, and
the polite manager, Mr. Dupont, show
ed us all over It's wonderful how they
grind up and kiln dry the dirt and
ship it away to make aluminium ware.
We also attended the Community
Club, which met at Mrs. G. w. Good
mans, president of the club. Mrs.
Junkin is vice president. Miss Arthur,
Mrs. Erickson and two other ladies
from Little Rock met with the club
and addressed us on the subject Of the

The club decided to give box supper
the following Saturday, the proceeds
to go to the Home. Several members
are knitting for the Red Cross and the
club expects to do good work this
winter.

What Will Happen
After the War !?

Who knows what will happen af-
ter the war? Interest rates may
go up. They may go down. There
is no private loan concern that can
guarantee you a five and one-half
per cent interest rate five years
ahead, unless you make loan now
ana pay commission. After five
Years you don't know what will
happen.
The Federal Land Bank will
guarantee you a five and 0ne-half
per cent interest rate for forty
years if you wish. If interest rates
lall after you have carried your
loan five years you can have the
lower rate by simply asking for 1t.
Uncle Sam has safeguarded you
both ways.

GOVERNMENT BAN
HOLIDAY TRADE
CHRISTMAS GIFTS MAY NOT BE
SENT TO SOLDIERS IN FRANCE
THIS YEAR, ACCORDING TO
LATEST RULING.

New Yorlk-The fact that the gov
eminent has placed ban on the ship
ment of Christmas gifts to soldiers in
France this year will greatly affect
the business of the stores dealing in
articles for men, especially the mems
furnishing stores, according to state
ments made by representatives of sew
eral stores yesterday. The general
opinion among the merchants seemed
TO be that purchases would be curtailed
extensively as a result of the action
taken by the government officials. 1t
is understood that at some of the
stores preparations had been made for
some of this early Christmas trade
This action by the government is an
other war measure made necessary in
order to geep steady flow of supplies
to France 1t will be necessary to use
every bit of available space on ships,
and the trains-here and in France
to carry the war essential materials,
and the ban comes in order to prevent
any congestion in the transportation
of supplies which might occur II an
attempt were made to send Christmas
gifts to 100000 or more men during
a period of few weeks.
In confirming the report, General
Harbord, Chief of the Supply Service,
makes the following statement:
I'VE will require all available tom
mage for troops and war essentials.
Much confusion and interruption of
traffic ensued last winter because of
the great number of Christmas pack
ages While the spirit back home is
understood and appreciated, 1t Is OBJ
vious that we must not add to the bur
dens that will be placed on shipping
and transportation lines this wiater"
Although they may have no Santa
Claus this year, so far as the people
in this country are concerned, from
France comes the report that the
American boys are planning to cele-
brate Christmas back home next year,
and in order to do SO are glad to give
UP something this Christmas in order
to prevent anything that might help
to clog the war shipping machinery.

A Cheerful Heart.

One Of the duties lying upon every
man these days is the duty Of max
ing a cheerful heart ndiate itself 10
a bright and smiling face. The man
who goes round with d~olefulness and
pessimism written upon his features
is a traitor to his country and an
enemy Of his fellows. OF course a
man cannot have the hopefulness on
his face that his heart does not feel.
but 1t Is not so impossible to grow
h~opefulness as 1t sometimes seems.
The man who is taking his part in
life, doing heroically and faithfully
the duties that come to him, and who,
because Of that, has a wholesome
faith in God and in man, a keep a
cheerful heart even In a day like this.
1t Is an old and homely truth, but one
that never wears out, that duty well
and faithfully done gives life Its
truest zest, the face its brightest
smile, and the heart its most abiding
happiness.
