URGE BUYING OF
COAL RIGHT NOW
STATE FUEL ADMINISTRATOR
WRITES MR.. LEE ALLEN TELL
ING WHY COAL PURCHASES
SHOULD BE MADE.

Mr.. Lee Allen, county tuel admin
istrator, has received the following let
ter from the state fuel administrator:
Commerce, Ga, May Il. 1918.
City Committeeman and v'udnty Chair
man
II has been my effo,t 10 carry out
the policy Of the adm III .artor in
regard to the matter Of sayly buying.
To this end. have lost no otportuni
ty to enco1r&.se dealers ard collsum-
er5 to place .lair orders rariv -
We are now confronted with situa-
tion which foretells a material scar
city of domestic lump coal, whereas,
it is likely that run of mine coal will
be more plentiful and eaier to obtain.
in meeting this situation must have
nor only the cooperation of your
local and municipal authorities. My
idea in meeting this situation may be
Brifiy stated as follows:
That the dealers Of your community
purchase literally of ru1 of mine coal,
from which they may FORK the lump,
egg or nut sizes with wdI3h to sup
ply their domestic trade. This will
leave on the the hands of ne dealer
a considerable tonnage uf slack and
smaller sizes of coal. I'his slack and
smaller sizes will necessarily have to
be handled locally, and in. this matter
the city officials and local steam users
should cooperate with the retail deal
er
The lump, egg and nut coal handled
by the retail dealer with his trade
would be sold at authorized retail pri-
ces, and this will be your authority
for authorizing the retail dealer to
sell the slack or steam coal to local
users and public utilities at the cost
price to the dealer, which cost will
cover all charges for physically hand
ling the coal as a retailer.
Likewise Industrial plants and 9th
er users of steam sizes will be re-
Ceiving run of mine coal. These in
dustrial plants should fork from this
mine run coal the lump which may
be sold to the retail dealers, and this
will be your authority for authorizing
the industrial plants, selling domestic
ump Goa, procured in this manner,
. the retail dea eT at lie authorized
price for prepared sizes, plus freight
uch an arrangement will operate Wi
mutual advantage.
BY this method of cooperation, the
dealers will contribute to the assist
ance of industrial or steam users,
while at the same time steall users
will contribute to the assistance of
retail dealers. 1 cannot emphasize too
strongly the Importance of local CO.
operative action in line with the fore
going.
1t is hoped that you will recognize
the value of this suggestion, for un-
less some prompt cooperative act is
taken, it is strongly probably that we
will experience a repetition of the
condition which prevailed last winter.
By this arrangement industrial plants
and public utilities of your communi-
ty would perhaps accumulate an ex-
cess stock of coal during the next four
months, but this is important and
merits your immediate consideration.
Yours very truly,
L. G. HARDMAN,
Fuel Administrator for Georgia

WHAT IS NEEDED TO
SPRAY 800 REES.

Plan now to spray, and 90 your
spray materials early.
A fifty gallon barrel pump vii be
the most economical sized pump for
orchards of 300 to 400 treei. The
equipment that will be Necessary to
make the spray outfit comple.e will
include the pump, barrel, hose b,nds,
and couplings, Is to 20 feet Of spray
hose, an foot iron extension rod
with brass stop cock, and spray
1 nozzle. If desired, a brass J and
two nozzles can be attached te the
extension rod in place of one nszzle.
Many times in spraying the or
chard it is advisable to spray two
rows at a time when going between
the rows. This requires the services
of two men in spraying, besides a
man to pump and drive the team.
In this case two leads of hose will
be necessary, two extension rolls, and
two nozzles, and the hose leads should
each be rs feet long.
Where only lead is used, it is
more satisfactory to use tn, brass
Y and two nozzles. The ordinary bar
rel pump can maintain sufficient
pressure for two nozzles. Two noz.
zles makes it possible to throw more
spray and work more rapidly thar
when only one nozzle is usel Sew.
"al types Of nozzles are in tcnI
use.
The price for the outfit complete
will be in the neighborhood OF $50.

OUT OF MANY RACES
RED Cn0SS Makes ONE

u NE of the greatest services which
the Red Cross is performing in
this war is the unfiCatiOn of the
many races Of which America is COM
posed through the Home Service,
which, through its 10000 committees,
is looking after the welfare of the SOL
diers' families in every corner of the
country. America has always been
called the Melting Pot, and truly, but
the process has been slow. The war
has accelerated it, The Indians of the
west, the negroes of the south, the ltal-
ians and Eastern Europeans Of our in
dnstrial centers, the MeXicans of the
Southwest, Armenians and Swedes and
NOrWegi0ns and Japanese and Iceland
ers-all are now enlisted under one
flag, and were whole heartedly in the
war because it was Americas war and
they are Americans.
That they feel this is patent to those
who have seen and talked with these
men. Witness the Italian, who in the
assembly hall of one Of our mobliza-
'A'ii NtA'E'H N'D waiting WIN u SAOhp
of his fellows to take the oath of al
legianCe. He stepped forward sudden
ly with tears in his eyes and with a
vivid gesture pressed corner of the
American flag that hung over the desk
in front of him to his lips. group of
native born soldiers who had been
looking on with amused Indifference
broke into applause and cheers From
then on these Italians were their
brothe" Americans
Such work as this is valuable not
only for the morale of the mOl; it is
binding the nation into one organic
whole as it has never been bound be-
fore. To give concrete expression to
this unity the Red Cross plans through
its Christmas Roll CAN, to be held the
week beginning December i6, to in
crease its membership from 22000.-
600 to the limit of available member
ship. It wishes to give in this way no
tice to the world that every American,
irrespective of creed or birth, stands
squarely and uncompromislngly for the
principles for which we have been
fl -htiug--that America is one and in
Invisible pledged solidly for honor and
mercy and good faith.

1t looks like something should be
done toward improving health condi-
lions in this country. The influenza
epidemic has swept the country caus-
ing far greater loss of life than the
war during the same period. Only
sixty per cent of the men called by
the selective draft law were found
physically fit for military service. In
the vicinity near military camps,
ninety six thousand children have
been examined or inspected with the
result, that sixty two thousand of
them were found to be physically de-
fective.
