The Fuel Administration was not
then in existence, and did not begin
its work until August %. 1t was
then already too late to undo the
harm which had been done. The
Fuel Administration would be neg
hgent of its duty to the public IL it
failed to call attention at this time
to the unfortunate results OF the
mistaken course pursued by the pub
lie a year ago, and to warn all con-
sumers in the most emphatic man
ner possible that repetition or
those results can be avoided only by

MUST NOT LOSE A DAY.

The production OF coal in this
country Is fundamentally a trans
portation problem. There are enough
coal cars and enough locomotives to
transport the necessary quantity of
coal. ONLY IF EVERY CAR AND
EVERY LOCOMOTIVE is USED
TO IT'S MAXIMUM CAPACITY
EVERY DAY IN THE YEAR.
There are enough operatives in the
mines to get the coal from the
ground. II those operatives can work
every day in the year. and II the
coal cars and locomotives are avail
able every day. If the coal cars
are idle for a week or a month. the
result Is loss OF a weeks or a
months possible coal production.
There is no way to make mp this
loss. The country needs the great
est utilization Of the coal-carrylng
facilities every week and every
month. 1t has no surplus cars and
no surplus locomotives to carry
more coal in succeeding week or
in a succeeding month, to make up
for the failure TO use the existing
cars and locomotives In preceding
month

Owing to more favorable weather
conditions, greater quantity Of
coal can be transported each day
from April to November than is pos
sible in each day from November to
March. Conditions adverse to coal
transportation are sure to exist ev-
cry winter. Such adverse con
ditions we're unusually severe and
long continued in the winter just
passed. TO an appreciable degree,
however. they have existed every
winter, and it is the part of folly to
suppose they will not be encountered
next winter.

THERE is PLENTY OF COAL.

There is plenty of coal in the
ground to meet every need. This
coal can be taken from the ground
only in consequence OF orders placed
with the operators. If those orders
are delayed the coal remains where
nature has put it. Coal operators
have no other storage space for
their coal. Even If such storage
space existed, 1t would be Of little
benefit. The coal might as well re-
main in the mines as be stored at
the mouth OF the mines. In either
case. TO be used It must be trans
ported to the points where needed.
Consequently IL must be loaded on
coal cars. and this is equally neces-
sary whether the coal Is taken di-
rectly from the mine to the car. or
tnken from storage pile at the
mines mouth to the car. Unless the
operators have orders for their coal
they cannot load the coal cars, nor
will the coal cars be placed at their
mines. without orders for coal the
operators cannot ship 1t, for they
can give no directions where 1t
should be taken.

WHAT is INFLUENZA?

Spanish influenza, Public Heath
Service scientists believe, is very
similar to the epidemic of grippe
which swept the country during the
winter Of 1889 and 1890.
Very probably, the infection, re.
surrected in Europe, and after sweep
ing the war, torn countries. now has
appeared in the United States, has a
very accent history, taking it back to
the day of Hippocrates and Livius
more than four hundred years before
Christ.
The best means of treatment OF
influenza cases were communicated to
the country few days ago by Sur
geon General Blue through the Asso-
ciated Press Now General Blue has
issued a leaflst which tells some
thing about the strange malady.

cases were occurring on the western
front. In Spain, according TO reports

of Spain is said also to have been
attacked in the present epidemic. The
epidemic of 1918 was at its height in
Germany in June and July. 1t has ap-
peared in practically every section OF
Europe. In England the epemic pre-
vailed in May, June and July.
Outbreaks have been reported from
various sections of the United States,

Europe.
"The symptoms in the present
pandemic have been an acute onset
often very sudden, with bodily weak
ness and pains in the head and eyes,
back, and elsewhere in the body. Vomi-
ting may be SYMPTOM of onset and
dizziness if frequent. Chilly sensations
are usual, and the temperature is
from 100, to 1O4' the pulse remaining
comparatively low Sweating is not
infrequent. The appetite is lost, and
prostration is marked. Constipation is
the rule Drowiness and photophobia
are common. The fever usually last
from three to five days; but relapes
are not uncommon, and complications
particularly pulmonary, are to be fear
ed. The death rate is usually given
as extremely low; but in the latter
periods of an outbreak an increased
number of deaths, presumably due TO
complications, has been reported in
Spain and in the United States. Be-

only consider their own interests
while they are totally unmindful of
the interests of others.
The cotton growers are just as pat
riotic and loyal and unselfish as are
the growers of wheat, whose product
is priced by the government. To argue
otherwise is to cast unjust aspersions
/ against the people of the South.
The mark of the peanut politician
| is stamped all over the fellow who
enters the race for some office and
then straighting proclaims himself
"the undying friend of the cotton
, grower" In so doing he argues him
self wise to the fact that more peo-
pie in his district, or in his state,
grow cotton than grow corn or peas.
1t doesn't seem to occur to him that
the ends Of justic will be better serv-
ed if all interests are treated fairly.
Another point seems to have been
missed by all those who were march
| ing forth in shining armor to save
the South's great money crop, is the
fact that there is not now, and has
not been, any very great objection
to a government price being set. The
one great concern is about what the
price will be. The farmer wants a
just price and is emitted to it.
When the price of wheat was set
is was put at little above the then
prevailing price, or approximately
three times higher than the pre-war
prices. If cotton should receive the
consideration and a price was to be
fixed on the same basis as on wheat
it would be approximately 80 cents a
pound, as its price in 1913, the year
before the war, was Is cents.
Whatever happens, we feel safe in
saying that fair price will be named
when the time comes, if it ever does
and that justice can prevail without
the weeping attentions of regiment
or two of selfish politicians, who are
far more interested in holding office
than they are in pricing cotton.

NO COTTON PRICE FIXING

From North Georgia Citizen.
There was more hysteria in the re-
port that the price of cotton was to
be fixed than sense.
The president has not, in our opinion
considered that it is yet necessary TO
put price on the South's money
crop. If the time should come prompt
action will be taken, as it should be.
But the price will be made just with
the proper consideration for the well
fare of the cotton growers.
If it is right to name prices at
which iron, steel wheat, corn and all
other essential commodities shall be
sold it is equally right to say at what
price cotton shall bring, if the exgen-
cies of the times demand it.
There has been too much thimb-
lerigging politics played in connection
with the Souths cotton crop, in all
of which the cotton growers are made
to appear as selfish lot of people who

traying their uneasiness and fear now
when the fortune of war are going
against them. AS illustrating this EN-
peror William said in April and May:
THE world war cannot terminate
in any other manner than by the com
plete victory of Germany over all her
enemies. The last few months have
brought US successes which justify
our title to the strong peace which
shall open roads to victorious German
commerce.
In July after the great drive on the
Marine, the future looked Tess resate
to the Emperor for he said: 1.-THE
worst days of this war are still in
store for Germany
In September, after the Allies had
hurled back the German invaears and
were breaking through the linden
burg line was situation apparently
serious to the Emperor, for he said:
"The German people is fully aware
of the gravity of the present struggle
which will decide its future.
Crown Prince Frederick put no limit
on his warlike aspirations in Septem-
Der 1917. He said then: with scorn

the Crown Prince was willing to con-

HER SAVINGS COUNTED

1t was owing to the forethought
and energy of woman that the Unit
ed States Food Administration was
enable to obtain recently $4,000
bushels of wheat from the Relief
Society of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints, (Mormons).
This store of grain had been saved
up against a possible famine and was
made available to the government in
a time of great need.
The woman who was chiefly instru-
mental in saving up the wheat is Mrs
Emmeline b. Wells, president of
the church relief society. For AZ years
she carried out the wishes of Brig
ham Young in the storing of the grain.
Young, then president of the Nor
mon church, taught her that some
day there would be a famine and he
urged her to advocate saving grain.
Through the medium of a paper
known as the "Woman's Exponent"
which Mrs. Wells edited for years, she
preached the storing of grain by the
women of the church relief societies
The original work began through the
cleaning of the wheat fields and row
cleaning of the wheat fields and grew
annually, until in later years funds
of the society were invested in wheat
which was sold when prices were high
the money Icing re-invested when the
prices were low. Mrs Wells Travelled
to every place in the West where
members of the Mormon church had
colonized, preaching the storing of
grain
With the edvance in transportation
methods endeavOrs were made to stop
the practice, hu! Mrs. Wells has in
sisted that the work be continued

such a condition not only existing
within the bounds of this little city of
ours, but actually thriving. Il doesn't
make any difference what official or
officials are responsible for this fill
thy state of affairs. II Is there, and
they should know their positive and
plain duty. II isn't necessary to di-
rect an individual attack at any per.
son or persons for allowing this thing
to stay on in our midst. They are all
doubtless men enough to appreciate
their neglect and remedy the condi.
ton at once. If they do not then il
will be time for individual action. II
Is inconceivable that an unspeakable
mess of disease could be allowed to
accumulate as has accumulated in the
very middle of our city. That horri-
BILE pile OF decay Is in a great part re.

unclean. II must be cleaned UP and
