FUEL CONDITIONS
Growing Serious Ii Many Sec
lions Of State


The coal situation ID the state
Is assuming 4 very serious aspect
according to Fuel Administrators
Myer. He is quoted as saying, a
few days ago, that reports from
various towns over the state we're
to the effect that every expedient
had been exhausted. and that no
coal was to be had. Many towns
we're telephoning announcing that
the uelsupply was exhausted and
calling upon the fuel administra-
tar for aid
Mr.. Myer claims that thesuse Of
wood Is the only solution. He said
that the people Of the various
towns must begin to use wood at
once. He claims thatthe shortage
in the United states is $4,000. 900
tons and that there is just not
enough coal being mined to sup.
ply the demand.
The recent cold spells have
caused much suffering il conse
sequence Of the fuel shortage oyer

TOP PRICE FOR BIG FARM.
Sixty Acre Tract Brings $500 Per
Acre.

DeWitte, Ia, Jan. 1.-THE top
price for farm land in this vicinity
was reached Saturday when William
H. Mockridge, acting as agent for
both parties, closed a deal for the
sale Of the sixty acre tract of land
lying two miles southeast Of Dewitt.
1t belonged to John Fell and was
sold to James Sheppard of near Fen
ton, Ill.,, for $500 per acre.
This is the first 5000 price record
ed as far as known for land in this
territory Oh a farm as large as a six
ty acre tract. Last week a sixty-nine
acre tract near Andover was to be
sold at the same figure, but the deal
fell through.
Mr.. Fell purchased this farm dur
ing the last year at figure ear $3.50
an acre, made some improvements on
the place which were completed less
than month, ago and the transac-
ton shows a quick net profit.

Plan Potato Storehouse.

Mason City, Ia, Jan. 14.-Mason
City will have cooperative potato
storage house if the plans recently
inauguated by the Retail Merchants
association are carried out. Men at
Iowa State college have been asked
to work out the details OF building
and managing such house.
Many potatoes are sold in Mason
City each year and bought back again
by consumers. This house will enable
both growers and retailers to handle
the trade to better advantage. The
projected plan calls for co-opera-
tive company that will issue stock
and then charge a fixed sum per
bushel for storing.

KILL PROFITLESS ANIMALS.
Ames Expert Recommends War Con-
servation Measure. Meat Can be
Used as Food i'm Many
Cases.

Ames, Ia. Jan, 14.-Farm ami
mails kept at loss, animals injured
or that have some localized disease,
but whose flesh is still fit for human
food, provided there is no chance of
permanent recovery or cure, should
be slaughtered. Likewise, animals not
fit for human food, but suffering
from diseases that are incurable or
that endanger other animals, should
be killed, says DR.. w. w. Dimock of
the veterinary division of Iowa State
college.
This conservation slaughter is
being urged as wartime measure.
With feed prices as high as they
are, no bit of grain should be fed
not going to be returned in meat or
in service. Thousands of animals are
being kept at serious loss because Of
high feed costs that would be more
profitable if slaughtered.
Animals that are economically un-
productive, such as nonbreeders and
Improbable prpducirs should be
slaughtered. Often when disease such
as hog cholera, is in the herd or flock,
slaughter of animals not as yet in
fected will save them for food.
Whether these animals are slaugh-
tered in packing house having
federal inspection, municipal or To-
cal slaughter house or on the farm,
they should be thoroughly inspected
by a competent veterinarian before
the meat is used, according to the
rules governing inspection as carried
out by the meat inspection service
of the bureau Of animal industry,
United States department of agricul-
ture. In case meat killed from local
abattoirs or on the farm is to be of
fered for sale, the veterinarian max
ing the inspection should be APPROX
ed by the executive officer of the
Iowa animal health commission.

TRAVELLING MAN WILL FLY.
Will Use AerOplane.in Making His
Territory.

Sioux City, Jan. 14.-Warren An
derson, 1907 West Fourth street, "a
travelling salesman for the Heading
ton & Hedenbergh Wholesale Fruit
Co. is in Florida with the intention
of using an airplane instead of al
automobile to cover his 5o0-mile ter
ritory in northeastern Nebraska. He
said that he would depart for Jack
sonville, Fla, taking his family with
him, to begin training. His employers
have given him a vacation for seven
weeks, the length of time required to
complete the course.
The idea may seem far fetched, '
said Mr.. Anderson, "but after this
war is over the airplane is going to
come into common commercial use.
1t will compete with the automobile.
/ firmly believe that by 1920, if the
war is ended. l will be using an air
plane regularly every week to cover
my territory. 1t now takes four days
to visit the forty-two towns in my
territory with an automobile. In an
airplane it could be done il at least
half that time"
Mr.. Anderson stated that he does
not intend to start flying CONNER
cially Immediately after completing
his training course, but will continue
study and practice at Sioux City un-
til the end of the war, when he ex-
poets to be able to profit by the Sc
crets of air navigation now held en-
tirely in the possession OF military
experts. He believes that the great
advances made in conquering the all
since fighting started will put the
use of the airplane on a practical
commercial basis for every day use.
