WE AMUSE 1.-THE WOILD"

Our more or less esteemed contem-
porary, the N'Yark Void, in a recent
issue, makes fun of the Kansas coun-
try newspapers for carrying such
items as MRS. Dug Jones spent Sun
day with Mrs. Bling Swozzle."
On another page Of the same paper
is a whole column of society" per-
sonals, and among them we observe
with the keenest interest that "Mrs.
Percival Van der Snoop-Kuykendahl

the esteemed Woild thinks Mrs. Jones

BERKELEY SURE OF
ANTHRACITE COAL
FOUR THOUSAND TONS TO BIZ;
THE ALLOTMENT FOR THE
COUNTY.

The hard coal situation so far az
Ma rtinsburg and the county are con,
cerned, seems to be definitely settled
and our people will get a certain
amount OF anthracite coal during the
winter.
MIR. Robert ~ Stewart, the local coal
dealer, who has been working hard
to give the people of Martinsburg
hard coal, this morning received a
telegram from j. Walter Barnes, Also
at the same time Mr. Barnes sent a
similar telegram to Mr.. Gray Silver
setting forth the facts in the case
in almost the same language as that
used in his telegram to Mr.. Stewart.
People who are anxious to get hard
coal are requested not to become ex.
cited about the matter After Mr..
Barnes gets here on Friday or Satur-
day the details will be definitely set
tied and made known to the public.
II is understood the coal will be in
two sizes, nut and stove, and there is
to be no hard coal for furnaces. The
amount available will allow three tons
to stove, it is figured.

OUEST|ONNA|RES TO
CO OUT THIS WEEK
PREPARATIONS BEING MADE FOR
THE DRAFT-WIoRK AHEAD
FOR BOARDS.
Here are Generall

Now that all the registrants have
qualified, the various draft boards
will begin sending out missionaries,
which must be filled out and returned
as directed. According to plans out
lined by the provost marshal general
those between the ages 10 and SO
years will be the first called upon, the
1Slyear-old youths and those up to 46
years are to receive attention later.
NO estimate has yet been made OF
the number who would be affected by
this arrangement. Certainly third
of those enrolled are expected to
answer
Just how many of these will be in
Quoted into active service depends
upon their classification by the draft
boards. While General Crowder has
given out list of essential and nom
essential industries, the officials are
expected to use some Judgment in
passing on the claims of exemption.
1T is not the purpose of the govern
ment to take men from positions
where their services are of a char
acter that il lost the business would
be materially injured.
Hence the district board which are
to consider occupational claims must
necessarily be very careful. Their
work will be tedious and exacting and
take up considerable time.
The boards work will consist of
checking up all cases where tae ques-
tionnaires show persons receiving
funds from the government through
those inducted into the service and
upon portion of army pay they de-
pend for support.
The questionnaires are expected
some time this week.
