For Sheriff and Collector

The attention of the voters
of Woodruff County is called to
the announcement of Mr.. r. E..
L. dob" Spradlin of Augusta,
as a candidate Tor the office of
sheriff and collector of Wood
ruff County.
Bob" by which his friends
know him best, was elected to
this office in 1914 and lost in
his race for a second term by
an exceedingly small vote. He
says that he is now asking for
reelection to a second term.
That the experience of his first
term makes him more efficient
and capable to better dis
charge the duties of the office
than otherwise is beyond ques-
ton, and no one doubts that,
if elected, he will always be
found standing for efficiency,
honesty and economy, and at
all times conducting himself
in an upright, sober and indus
triQus manner.
We ask that you carefully
consider his claims before cast
ing your ballot at the coming
primaries on May %.

FUEL PROBLEM

The Fuel Administration

emphasized by the Fuel Ad-

The Home news. (McCrory, Ark.) 1915-1922, 1918-04-12

AS an inducement for earlv
buying, new prices have been
announced, summer reductions
definitely settled, and the pub
lie is assured that the prices
will not be disturbed during
the coming year.
To safeguard the consumer
the Fuel Administration has
prescribed regulations to pre-
vent profiteering and to gov
ern the distribution of coal bv
licensed jobbers and by retail
ers. Each domestic consumer
will be permitted to secure a
full normal supply of coal but
no more.
Consumers in Arkansas as
we'll as elsewhere are warned
that every ton of coal boarded
against future needs and not
used dring the winter is actual
waste. The labor and trans
portation used in bringing the
coal to the consumer and the
actual energy of the coal itself
are withheld from doing their
part towards speedy victory,
Consumers should secure
just a little less coal than they
believe they will need, and
make every shovel-full saved
give it's full value in heat and
power.
And the loyal Arkansas citi-
zen should not forget that
wood should be used as fuel
wherever possible, so that the
coal may be saved for govern
ment needs.
The Fuel Administration
must have the support and &C
tive cooperation, not only Of
those engaged in production
and distribution of fuel, but of
every coal user in the country.
Each must bear his share of
the patriotic sacrifice if the
coal supply is to be properly
increased and adequately dis
tributed.
Guided by the experience of
the past winter, the Fuel Adj
ministration has taken the nee
essary steps to clear the way
for the ceaseless activity of
the mines in increasing the
supply, and for the steady
swift distribution of the fuel as
rapidly as it can be taken from
the ground and moved over the
burdened transportation sys-
tenn.
The prices fixed by the gov
eminent for coal at the mines
have been established on
stable foundation and will not
be disturbed during the coming
coal year except in cases OF ex-
traordinary urgency. L e
prices have been adjusted by
scientific and practical investl-
cation based upon uniform
cost sheet reports to insure the
greatest possible stimulation
of production while maintain
ing a reasonable and equitable
price of coal to the consumer.
By careful regulations, the
Administration has insured the
shipment of clean coal from
the mines Every effort is be-

HUNS EYE SWITZERLAND.
Kaiser Will March Through Republic
If 1t Suits His Plans.

New York, April 11.-That an in
vasion of Switzerland by the German
army is probable in thesevent of Hin
denburg's ultimate failure to break
through the allies line in France, Is
believed by Will Irwin, noted Amerl-
can war correspondent, who returned
recently from an extended study OF
conditions in Italy, Switzerland and
Spain. He will return 10 France
shortly.
If this invasion of Switzerland
should come-and Mr.. Irwin believes
it far from being improbable-it would
be attended, he asserted with empha-
sis, with scenes of frightfulness, be-
side which the horrors enacted IN Bel
GUM would pale into insignificance.
Germany would not hesitate mo-
mcnt to begin such an invasion II 1t
seemed to lead to the success of her
war aims" said Mr.. Irwin, "and with
the temperament of the Swiss as 1t
is the invasion would be resisted just
as heroically as was that of Belgium.
IF Germany should consider it cs-
scntial to her success to take posses
sion of Switzerland by force of arms
she would not hesitate a moment.
But the Germans have already gor
commercial grip upon Switzerland
that is astounding.
"Thcy have control of a majority Of
the water power companies, which
means that they have the energy OF
the country in their grip; they arc
yginings control Of the immensely val
liable aluminium clay deposits of
Switzerland, which will give them Il
partial monopoly of metal which Is
destined to become more widely used
than ever before, and they arc gradu-
ally buying up all manner of trade
marks used by old-established Swiss
business concerns and which they will
be- able to use to cloak any manufac-
lures they may wish to export.
"Thcy can get around the post-bei-
lum antipathy to German-madc goods
in this way. They'll make part OF
their goods in Germany, then send
them to Switzerland to be finished
and shipped out to the worlds mar
kcts bearing the Swiss trademark.
That's coming with absolute certainty,
just as certainly as Germany intends
to annex Switzerland calmly if she
wins this war.
