BUY YOUR FUEL NOW

THE fuel administration, working under the
direction of the United States government which
Is doing all it possibly can to avoid fuel shortage
for the millions of families throughout the
country when the cold weather of winter comes,
are day after day urging the people to lay in their
supplies of fuel wood and coal and giving
their warning that the fuel administrators will
not help procrastinators.
The people have been told repeatedly why wood
should be bought now, and it has been explained
how consumers could thus help themselves and
the government. If slackers pay attention to
the requirements of the government, then
government officials are not going to worry about
them, next winter, if they are unable to get wood
No one is apt to forget the shortage of coal last
winter, and the consequent discomfort caused by
its lack. The fuel administrators are not apt to
allow the same conditions to arise again. especial
ly in the south, where wood is so plentiful.
But Il is not only that people are called upon to
buy wood, where it is necessary to purchase ccal,
this, too, may be bought in the summer time, and
stored away for winter use
Wilmer Hayward, fuel administrator for this
district is urging the people of this section to put
in a supply of wood and coal during the summer
months. Buyers will not only save money by
making early purchases but will guard them
selves and their families from a repetition of
the hardships of last winter.
The fuel administration is doing it's utmost to
insure increased production of COAL The director
general of railroads is working to increase trans
portation facilities of the nation Their COM
bined efforts, however, may be defeated by the
recurrence of such weather prevailed last
winter.
They viii most certainly be deafeated unless
large majority of the domestic consumers CO.
operate with them and buy early.
1t is pointed out that if coal is ordered early.
the winter supply will be shipped in, and if
person does not buy now he may not be able to
get what he orders, and will not receive any
sympathy from his neighbors if ne shivers ali
winter.

There are enemy aliens and there are native
aliens. The American who does not do his part
toward winning the war, who neither fights nor
works nor lends for victory is as much an alien
to Americas cause as the rankest Prussian in
termed in this country.
This is a of the peoples as well as of
nations, and each individual has place and a
duty. =

ed and drained last summer, are
now fair travelling.
Early gardeners are also busy,
clearing off the rubbish, sowing
lettuce, setting ont onions and
planting peas, radishes, parships
and beets.
Both man and beast welcome the

High School for Clay City met the
School Board at the school building
Friday night and discussed the best
methods to secure High School

eight business men with l.. p.

see such a school established here,
and our idea is to get this school in

Busy Court Day Ahead.

Monday is County Court Day at
Stanton, and an unusual busy day
il promises to be. Besides the
regular business of the court, there
will be several tracts of land sold
for taxes by ex-Sheriff H. T. Der
ickson, and the present Sheriff,
Vim. Garreat, will also conduct a
land sale, but under order of Cir
cult Court.
Monday will be a good time for
persons with little money to buy
lots of land, and under the new law
we are told that the purchaser of
lands at tax sales can secure a deed
in two years. This should make
these sales attractive.

Seed Corn Scarce and High.

Seed corn was never so scarce IN
Kentucky as now, it is claimed.
We have known of some select old
corn for seed selling at So per bush
el in an adjoining county. The
Department of Agriculture recon-
mends the saving of every ear Of
corn that is sound and looks good
for seed, as the situation looks very
serious.
So alarming, in fact, has the seed
corn situation grown in Kentucky
that Governor Stanley has called
upon all the farmers of the State to
observe the first ten days of March
in selecting and testing seed corn.
If you have any more than you
need, you can sell it for enough to
pay you we'll for its selection and
testing. If you do not know how
to test it, call on or write your
County Agent, Mr.. H. H. Harri-
son. He will take pleasure in
showing you how. That's what
he is for.
