 The surgical dressing work goes steadily on and much is being accom- plished. Mrs. Thos. McRae, Jr., and her captains work faithfully each day and will have fine report to make at the end of the month if they can have the necessary help.
 The work room was a busy place yesterday with each of the twenty five workers straining every effort to accomplish all they could in the hours given to the making of hospital gar ments. We hope each day will bring new workers.

Operators Using Special Means for
Cleaning Coal VIII Be Allowed 10
Add 20 Cents Ton
GOVERNMENT OBJECT
BOOST PRODUCTION
Offer Embraces Period From April to
July 81; Required TO Make
Monthly Reports

Ada, Okla, April 5.-Great inn
provement in the quality of bitumi-
nous coal in Oklahoma is expected
to result from an order issued re-
Gently by the United States fuel ad-
ministration, under which operators
who use special means for eliminat-
ing impurities from their products,
will be permitted to add twenty (20)
cents a ton to the government prices
for coal at the mine.
Comparatively few veins of btu
minous coal are wholly free from
slate and carbon. Many Of them con-
tain such large percentages Of those,
and other impurities, that their sepa'
ration from the coal necessitates the
use of mechanical appliances, and
the employment Of additional labor.
The expense incident to this work
materially reduces the profit OF oper-
ating such mines.
The objects of the fuel administra-
ton in offering to allow increases to
such operators were, to stimulate pro
duction. and to insure better quail
ty Of coal to consumers dependent
upon such mines.
The offer OF the fuel administration
embraces the period from April / to
July SO, 1915, and operators who de
sire to take advantage of it can dc
so by applying to the legal depart
ment of the administration for per
mits. These permits will be extend
ed beyond August /, in all instances
in which it appears proper to take
such action.
Operators holding permits will b'
required to make monthly reports i
the fuel administration, and the al
lowances to each operator will b'
based upon the expense shown to b'
involved in eliminating impurities
from his product.
zRetail dealers will not be permitted
10 add to their prices the allowances
made to the operators, unless the!
also obtain permits from the fuel ad
ministration.
All coal prepared in conformity
With the requirements of the fuel ad
ministration will be designated b,

The following outline of a program
to help increase the production OF
food in Oklahoma, is issued by the
State Council of Defense:
"The government of the United
States has called upon Oklahoma to
make sure this year of producing
food for the people of this state and
feed for the livestock on the farms
so that it may not benecessary for
us to call for the use of transporta-
ton facilities so greatly needed in
supplying our armies.
"The United States Department OF
Agriculture, through its direct rep
resentatives in the agricultural ex-
tension work throughout the state,
has formulated a definite program OF
production based on accurate knowl'
edge of what should be done. The
essential feature of this program is
mot more than one-half of the
cultivated land on any farm should
be planted to cotton.
Supplemental to this recommen
dation and of equal Importance witt
it are the following recommenda
tions:
There should be a garden on ev
cry farm, sufficient to supply home
needs, consisting chiefly Of product
which may be stored in their natura
state or canned for winter use,
"There should be planted on ever
farm not less than / acre Of cane o
Sudan grass for each head Of horse
. and cattle on the farm,
