All Coal Orders to be

other than factories, according to fig
ures made public by the Bureau of
Conservation, United States Fuel Ad-

The Fuel Administration is now
issuing directions whereby State and

a program of action to check up ev-
cry order for domestic coal and cur
tail orders for excessive tonnage. No
order will be completely filled until
approved by the local coal authori-
ties
This plan has been in operation in

Soldiers of the Soil

The work of growing food is next
in Importance to that of fighting in
the trenches.
Not only has civilian production
been vastly stimulated in all of the
Allied countries, but much military
| cultivation of land has been under
taken.
In England every military camp
and every German prisoners camp
is engaged in military agricultural
operations. Soldiers are cultivating
$4,000 acres behind the lines in
! France, 1000 acres in Salonika about
100000 acres in Mesopotamia and
large areas in Egypt, Palestine and
Cyprus.
1t is estimated that Mesopotamia
will total $4,000 tons of wheat and
100, 900 tons of barley from this
military cultivation. To accomplish
this there have been tractors, thresh-
ers and hand Implements sent from
India and Australia, as we'll as from
Great Britain
At Salonika there are now grow
ing 200 acres of barley, 500 acres
of wheat, 700 acres of potatoes, g.
900 acres of corn and 100 acres of
other crops.
These soldiers are growing food to
help feed themselves. They know
that the less food they have to get
from the outside world, the more
ships will be available to bring men
and ammunition. And the more of
that outside food they can get from
America, instead of from remote
lands such as Australia and New
Zealand, the ore ships will be saved
for the shorter haul between Europe
and our own shores.
That is why the civilians of this
country must Go their part in food
production. Every man, woman and
child who shares in the planting or
hoeing or gathering this summer
whether ON a farm or in back yard
is a loyal soldier of the soil, and
his work is second in Importance on
ly to that of the soldiers in the
trenches

WITH PISTOLS, HAMMERS
and OTHER WEAPONS
Two Delmar Families Engage i'll a
Fierce Battle Over Children.

| Salisbury, Md, June 1S.-An at
| fray in which pistols, shotguns, iron
hammers and other instruments of
warfare came into play, occurred at
| Delmar late this afternoon, when the
! family of Riley Adkins, a merchant.
and that of George M. Locates, a
railroad man CT that town, met in
! the streets of Delmar, as result of
pistol ball fired by Mr.. Adkins. Ad-
| kins' head bears long cuts and
bruises
The trouble grew out OF an or
phans' court proceeding which has
been going on in this county for the
! past several weeks over the custody
also concerning the appointment of
a guardian for them. Locates was
in favor of having Herman Culver ap
pointed to look after the minor chill
dren, who are both motherless and
fatherless, and who have the estate
committed to their hands. Adkins
is the stepfather, and he was in ia
vor of his own appointment. The
matter has not been definitely set
tied by the court.
1t appears that Locates went to
the Adkins house with his mother
after some personal property belong
ing to the Locates, to which visit
Adkins took exceptions and attempt
ed to drive Lecates from his premi-
ses by pulling out a pistol In the
struggle, which brought Mrs. Lee
cafes to the scene, the pistol went
off and the bullet passed into the
wife's arm. Locates ran home,
across the street, got his shotgun,
and went after Adkins. The two
men went together before the guns
could be brought into play. Locates
yelled to his mother to take the pis-
tol from the hands of Adkins while
he held him, and then Locates, throw
ing amay the shotgun, the two men
went at it with bulldog ferocity.
They fought until they were help
less. and the authorities arrested
Locates, while Adkins was so feeble
he could not be taken into custody.
Mrs. Locates was taken to the hos
pital.
