held recently in Washington where IL
was proposed to prohibit the importa-
ton of all kinds of seeds, plants pulps
and nursery stock from foreign coun-
tries on account of diseases 1t Is

from no less than three imported

Fuel Masters
To Be Prosecuted

The United States fuel adminis-
tration has under consideration the
rationing Of domestic consumers Of
coal under a plan which COM
prehends a censorship of every order
for coal received by any dealer, each
order being compared with a figure
obtained by a very simple and ef-
fecttve Rormulae, showing the rating
Of the houses where the coal is to be
used. the actual inspection Of all
doubtful cases and a checking up
through inspectors Of statements
made by householders as to the coal
on hand. the space to be heated, and
the heating system employed. and
an effective refusal to furnish any
householder more coal than a acien-
ttt1c analysis shows is necessary If
requisite care is taken in the heat
ing OF the houses. All consumers
who have obtained a, quantity of coal
in excess Of their allotments or who
by deceit and Misrepresentation have
violated any rules or regulations of
the United States fuel administra-
ton will be prosecuted.
With the shortage Of coal con-
fronting the country, it is only
through such detailed regulations
that a necessary supply can be in
sured to all. The fuel administra-
ton expects everyone to recognize
the necessity and the reason for such
supervision and to cooperate fully
with the local committees entrusted
with carrying out the plan.

But "oh Boy" isn't that. It's a

"Oh Boy" doesn't appear to be the

you go out whistling the last number

why you thought it was such a good

1t may be due to the insidious
