Waning to Fuel Users

The fuel administrator in Washington State,
following out DR.. Garfeld's advise to coal consum'
ers to do their ordering early, has issued notice
and warning. He announces:
..In case there is coal shortage next winter
the consumer who has storage space, or who could
have provided for the storage of his coal ana did
not will not be supplied until all booked orders
have been filed and then he will be obliged to
take his chances"
The appeal of the Fuel Administration TO Or
der your coal early is thus emphasized as being
not only question of personal comfort, but a
patriotic duty.

with pernicious anamia, and for sever
al months past had received treatment
and care in the General Hospital at
Saginaw. About four weeks ago he
was brought home, and his condition
becoming very serious. he was taken. to
the hospital at Flint, where one of his
sons assisted in an operation for the
TRANSMISSION of blood. For a time the
doctors were hopeful that this would at
least proong his life. but the state of
Inconsistencies into which he had fall
en- before the operation was undertaken
continued and death came as above
stated. Mr.. Knickerbocker was born
in Genesee Township. Jan. 3, 1858,

riage to Miss Aggie Lawson. Shortly
after marriage Mr.. Knickerbocker and

beautiful farm where they continued
to reside until called to the world be-
yond, Mrs. Knick erbocker's death hav-
ing occurred July 19, 1916. They were
splendid citizens who will be borne in
loving memory by a multitude of
friends and neighbors. Mr.. Knicker-
booker was charter member of Pine
Run Arbor, A. O. o. G.. The surviv-
ing members of the immediate family
are three sons and three daughters,
these being Walter (now a lieutenant
serving with the American army in

many beautiful floral offerings evidenc-
ing the esteem in which the departed
was held. Rev. E. C. C. Benson
preached the sermon and the remains
were laid at rest in the family lot in
Mt. Morris cemetery.

Mr.. Halves does not eXaggerate

portion of the building was being
pushed as fast as possible; piping
for the plumbing, heating and cleo
trio wires were installed and tested ;
the machinery for the elevators and
the boilers were installed. Each and
every one of these branches had
their own difficulties in obtaining
the necessary materials as all goods
manufactured from steel and iron
were particularly hard to get.
After all the piping and rough
1ng-in was complete on few of the
\hoors, the partition work started (;
Jabout seVenty-five carloads of par
tition blocks had to run the block
ade of the embargoes during the
winter and early spring but by con-
sistent efforts on the part of every
man in charge all the material final
ly reached its destination, and was
put up in the building. The plas-
tering of the building was well un-
der way long before the roof was
put on, and here is where one of the
worst labor difficulties was encoun-
tered. At different times there were
as many as 112 plasterers working
at the building, but at no time were
there more than thrty-three actu-
ally working on the same day.
Government Embargocs

Is, Or Is Not, Steam Shovel
Still In Penn-IIarris Cellar {?
Sons of Rest at Last Session of Famous Order at Third and
Walnut Streets Today, Find Themselves Torn by Dis
cuSsion Over a Momentous Question
THERE was feeling akin

T HERE was a feeling akin to
sadness, as the poets say,
among the Sons Of Rest to-day.
1t was the last session of the order,
so far as the intersection of Third
and Walnut streets is concerned. So
as they stood on the corner watch
ing the final touches being put to
the Penn Harris Hotel, and OBJ
serving the scurrying around that
was being done by the hotel at
taches. preparatory to the opening,
the Sons of Rest whistled bravely
and tried 70 make believe that they
were glad their long vigil was over.
And into all this machinery the
venerable John Newton of the 2400
block on Market street cast the
proverbial monkey wrench. There
was the usual grinding and clashing
of gears, of course, and everything
stopped. For this is what Newton
said:
I'm only sorry for one tbing-
and that is that / didn't see them
bringing out the steam shovel
I With that remark Mr.. Newton
started something.
Bringing it OUT" calculated Ed
mund James. of Camp Hill. They
never brung it out. It's still in
there. How could they have brought
it out when you could hardly see
the top of it when they got the cell
lar dug? Don't talk so foolish!"
"Of course they brought it out!"
shouted Newton.
Folks began to gather around
the Sons of Rest. The proprietors
of stores peered out to see what
was going on.
COURSE they brought it out!"
said Newton. What would they
leave a steam shovel in tho cellar
for?"
did you see them fetch It out?'
yelled Arthur Newbold, another OF
the Sons of Rest
mo-" admitted Newton.
well" triumphed Newbold.
Course he didn't" interjected
Edmund James. "They never brung
II out. It's still down there. What
they did was to make an ice-cubeT
out of 1t. And they had some parts
of 1t left over. 1 don't know what
kthey did with them. But you can
take 1t from me that they never
brought out the steam shovel,
Cause why? Cause the engineer
forgot to leave q runway for the
dadblaime thing to climb out on"
BY this time the entire member
ship OF the Sons of Rest was in
q fever of debate: The long-for-
gotten steam shovel was the center
of conversation. A policeman came
running into the throng and de-
manded to know the reason for the
riot.
"Dld they or did they not for
get to bring out the steam shovelF"
