II. A. Cleyenstine, chairman OF the
pack Island county fuel administra-
soo. declared that with cooperation
a, the public the present depleted sup
,lv will he sufficient to carry the city
aver until railroad traffic is placed on
a normal basis He made the follow
,nr recommendations;
Dealers should investigate thor
ourhly before delivering coal to con-
saners.
consumers should not place orders
unless the coal is for immediate use.
consumers should conserve their
supply. cutting off such rooms from
hat as are not needed.
II is learned upon good authority
NAT there are about two thousand
inns of coal in the city. With conser-
ra,ion on the part OF the public. Mr..
rieyenstine believes that this will be
sufficient to carry the city over the
present crisis.
: Dealers have been requested" Mr..
Clevenstine said, ito be cautious in
selling coal They have been asked
70 make a thorough investigation of
the needs Of the consumer before de-
liyering fuel. We are asking the
neople Of this city TO conserve. By
cutting off a few rooms not needed.
from the heating system less fuel will
be required and the supply will last
longer.
ut is time now for the people to
show their patriotism and GOODNESS In
the face OF this crisis by remaining
calm. If they will hesitate to demand
coal until they need it the situation
vii, pass off smoothly and we will
soon have a normal amount on hand
to care for the needs of the city.
Above all they should use their
coal right. Conserve wherever pos
sible. A large amount Of fuel can
thus be saved and the city may avoid
q more severe Situation through the
cooperation of the public.
F. W Bender, secretary Of the
Chamber Of Commerce, today on be-
half Of that organization. issued the
following statement on the coal situa-
ton.
Now Is the time for Rock Island
people to show their patriotism by re-
naming calm. Reports of Goa,
famine always excite certain individ-
uals, who. although they have a sup
ply Of coal on hand, rush in to gel
more. The people of the city should
be conservative in their demands"

London-"It may be vain belief
on my part, but hold it very strongly,
that the United States and ourselves,
two great cousin nations, are even by
themselves in a position to bring
about the complete fulfillment of the
pledges that we have given"
. This was one of the assertions made
by Sir Edward Carson, minister with
out portfolio in the British war cab

pose of launching society to promote
closer relations with Rumania. AL
though speaking under the shadow of
the news of an armistice on the Ru-

WARNS AGAINST ANY
ALMSHOUSE LABOR

Springfield, Ill.-As a result of re-
ports received here that some coun-
ties in Illinois have ignored the amend
ment to the contract almshouse bill"
forbidding the contract system at
almshouses, Attorney General Brun-
dage has issued a warning against the
practice.
1T is clear" states the attorney gen.
eral, that it was not intended that
the county farm should be turned over
to a contractor or lessee, or that the
inmates should be supported under
contract. The amendment of 1917 is
declaratory Of the meaning of the
statute as it already existed, ana
may be said to have been passed for
the purpose of removing all doubt and
making the meaning clear"
This expression was given in re-
Spouse to a request from the state de-
partment of public welfare, the sup
position being that the department
would use its influence to bring about
the abolition of the almshouse contract
system in counties where it still ex-
lists.
Payment of moneys by counties to
almshouse contractors or lessees, it is
said, is illegal, and could be stopped
in court under the recent amend
ment to the pauper act of 1874
Twenty-three counties where con-
tract almshouses exist, according to
the state charities commission. are
1.-The blacklist blots on the public char
ity service of the state"
In 10 counties the county board en-
ploys a superintendent of almshouses
and pays all expenses of maintenance,
the charities commission declares. In
the other % "the county board lets
out the care of the almshouse to the
person who makes the highest bid for
the rent of the farm and the lowest
bid for the board of the inmates"
The counties designated by the COM
mission as those where, the contract
system exists are Calhoun. Clark
Clay, Clinton. Cumberland, Franklin
Gallatin, Grundy, Hamilton, Hardin
Jasper, Jefferson, Johnson. Lawrence
Massac, Monroe, Pope. Pulaski, Rich
