INTO THE BIN SLOGAN Needed
Iowa People Taking the Quesaion Ser
iousIy-Danger Of Fuel Famine
Has Lessened Somewhat.

Des Moines, May 24.-That Into
the Bin" slogan has been taken seTf,
ously by the people of Iowa, according
to the reports collected here today.
orders for Iowa coal have been com
ing in from all parts of the state and
the danger of fuel famine next win
ter is not at great as it was two
weeks ago, although those who have
not ordered their coal would better
get into the spirit at once-or they
may have to sit around their neigh
bors' fires next winter in order to
keep warm.
Under the present ruling of the
Federal Fuel Administration, a line
has been drawn across Iowa from Da.
Wis county to Lyon county and all
points south and west of that line are
limited to the use of iowa coal. The
rest of Iowa may use Illinois coal-if
it can be had, but the demands upon
the Illinois mines have increased SO
tremendously in the great industrial
centers that the Illinois fuel commits
sion holds out no promise of being
able to supply the demand in OLIVIA.
In ordinary years, Iowa mines about
seven million tons of coal and the
consumption has been about fourteen
million tons. If every Individual in
Iowa would Immediately look upor
the fuel situation as being very seri
GUS and put his order in at once fol
coal, the Iowa mines could work full
capacity during the summer months
and produce possibly ten million tons
This would mean that Iowa's call fol-
Illinois coal would not exceed foul
million tons and this undoubtedly car
be supplied.

IS. football team and he has been en-
tertained in our homes Merle is a
fellow who talks right out in meeting
and he means what he says. The per-
sonal messages of the Mahaska lads
to their mothers carried more weight
in few words than hours of argu-
ments or pleading by gifted orator.
In speaking of the death of Harry
Anderson, Merle took the lads place
twenty minutes after he was shot in
the trenches. He brought tears to
the eyes of many and his own eyes
were not free of moisture. He told
of Louie Turner, Mike Mansfield,

tain Springer, Lieutenant Hoar, Red"
Noel, Perry Newton, and a score or
more of others. 1t was as good as
a movie to have Skinner tell it and
the audience hung upon every word.
Must Write More.
Much of his talk was addressed to
the mothers and the sisters, seated
on the stage behind him. Merle
wants the friends and relatives of the
soldier lads to write more letters to
the boys at the front He says it
hurts, and hurts deeply, when a fell
low stands in line for two hours in
rain or in sweltering sun awaiting his
mail call and then gets nothing, while
the fellow at his elbow draws twenty
eight letters. Write more often,
folks. 1t should not be necessary for
me to tell and to urge the sweethearts
to write. If you do not write to him
now you need expect nothing from MIN

a French girl, maybe"
Following the conclusion of his talk
