Fuel Shortage Problem.
Appeal to Santa Fe for Cars
Made by Purdy Today.
MAY CRIPPLE GAR SERVICE

Situation for Light, Heat and
Power Still Critical.

A. H Purdy. superintendent OF the

NpeaIed to, the Santa Fe railroad to
come TO the assistance of the company
by furnishing enough fuel oil to keep
the plant running uEttl fuel that has
been ordersd can be received con-
ttnuatiou Of the Edison company serv-
ices will largely depend upon the as

"9ur fuel 'oil supply is giving US
more concern than coal today. Purdy
said. 49, we have just received word
that il is impossible to get cars to
ship US the oil we havs ordered and
run a week.
Purdy explained that ii il irpossi-
Bile to run the power plant at full
capacity without a certain amount of
fuel oil and every drop is being con-
served to make the supply on hand
run as long as possible.
Il cannot give a statement about
our coal demands because am unable
to learn what shipments were made to
Us Tuesday" he says. ''Ttis morning
I talked 20 our dealer in Kansas City
and he told me that heavy shipments
had been, ordered for US. but the Kan
sas City office has not been notified
by he mines Just how much was ship
ped We are still short but I believe
we have enough on hand to keep
EElnSS running until TUESDAY OF next
week"
May Cut Car Service.
Mr.. Purdy said today that the Of
ficials Of the company are seriously
contemplating a reduction in the street
car service to save fuel. but that noth-
ing definite has been decided upon.
"As long as we have to>continue to use
all the steam we can get for heatin 2
and lighting we can use the exhaust
for car service and there would be no
economy in cutting down. but If the
weather moderates so that We will
not need so much steam for heating
we will be able to save a little by cur
failing the car service
In the event street cars are taken
off, the plan is TO arrange the sched-
uIes so that the public will be incon-
venienced as little possible. Ex-
cept for the rush hours when persons
are going 70 and returning from work.
the cars on all lines may be run at
greater intervals and service may be
greatly reduced on parallel lines

If the fuel saving schedule is put
into effect the Gage cars will be run
every 80 minutes instead of every I5.
the Santa Fe cars on West Tenth

Lowman Hill. Douthitt and State hos
pitaI runs rearranged.
1t was also announced today that
the company has opened negotiations
with one of its large mill customers
asking the mill to shut down every day
from o'clock in the afternoon until
o'clock at night SO that the steam

Miss Eleanor Lawson.

Miss Eleanor Causine Lawson, aged
81, well known throughout Little Rock
and Pulaski county, died at the home
of Conoway Scott, at Elmhurst, near
Scott, Ark, at l O'Clock Tuesday NOR
ming. She had been an invalid for
several years.
Miss Lawson was born in Little
Rock in 1850, daughter of James
Lawson, then sheriff and collector of
this county The family lived at that
time on the northeast corner of Mark
ham and Broadway, the home later oc-
cupied by Maj. John G. Peay. When
fifteen years old Miss Lawson moved
to the present home with her sister,
Mrs. Conoway Scott, one of the early
settlers of the State. When Mr.
Scott, ST., arrived in Arkansas and
settled at his present home, the Ar
kansas river was then in front of his
home. The river later changed its
course, leaving body of water in its
former course, now known as Old
river.
Miss Lawson is survived by Mrs.
Eliza Scott formerly Mrs. Conoway

years. four nephews, Sam w. Reyburn

WHEN YOU BUY FOUR WAR
SAVINGS STAMPS YOU
CLOTHE A SOLDIER.

If many people look at it that
way they are going to make a
real effort next week to find a
way to put a uniform on quite a
few of the men who have been
called to the colors. If they
stand back and reason this thing
out, where a few more stamps
will put a gun in his hand, and
then a few more will give him
enough ammunition to go gun
ming for Huns, they are going
to rake and scrape until they
have dug up that money, too. 1t
stands to reason that the man
who wears this uniform and
totes this gun and ammunition
cannot put in his time training
to be a fighter and at the same
time earn the money to buy the
things he needs for the open sea-
son for Huns. The government
cannot buy them unless the peo-
pie raise the money, for the gov
eminent is nothing but the peo-
pie. You are a part of the peo-
pie and you are a part of the
government. Anything that is
the duty of the government is
your duty, and if the govern
ment decided to go and fight,
you made that decision also. In
making it you did more than
make a decision-you pledged
yourself to raise the army, sup
port and equip it. The w. S. S.
movement is not a two-bit prop
osition. 1t is the big movement
to send across the best equipped
fighting machine the world ever
knew. Chip in and help bag a
few Huns.

ern company. for the farmer is so
short of labor that he must have some
thing to make up for it. We have
sold most of the large plantations
within the past few weeks our 1923
tractors and they are helping out ma
terially. If the planter has no tractor
when he haryests his grain, he is in
rather a bad fix. We are selling a
number of the tractors for use in ope-
rating threshers, but they will be put
to other uses as soon as this is com
pleted.
Persons who want tractors and
other farm machinery are ordering

fall there will be nothing for them. 1t

goods cannot be delivered at any

PATRIOTISM PLUS PROFIT
is RURAL MOTOR
TRUCK ROUTE.

The safety of our country de-
ponds upon transportation. Rail-
roads are so congested they can
not carry all our foods and other
supplies. Farmers hesitate to
produce to caparity, fearing
their produce cannot be market
ed. Large quantities of farm
products do not reach market be-
cause of lack of transportation,
and are thus wasted. About 20
per cent of farm help has been
lost by draft and from other
causes. Farmers cannot put
their time in on the road and
work their crops at the same
time. Therefore, transportation
must be provided for if our
country, our army and our allies
are to be fed. 1t has become a
patriotic duty to help. The rem
edy is the extension of the rural
motor express lines and the or
ganization of new ones. Farm
ers, truck gardeners, dairymen,
find that motor truck lines as
sure quick, daily transportation
to market and enable them to de-
vote all their time to the farms.
The trucks come back laden with
merchandise for the merchant,
and thus have no loss in the
haul. They thus afford a profit
able enterprise that builds up
the community by utilizing what
has been a waste and giving the
merchant something to exchange
for this added wealth. Rural
merchants should give this prob
lem their earnest attention, and
thereby increase their bank ac-
count.

START LEGAL FIGHT
To GAIN POSSESSION
Of 4-YEAR- old GIRL

4 fight for possession of 4-Year-old
Violet Mondeirl was Instituted in the
superior court yesterday when Mrs.
Mary Sibert. grandmother OF the child
made application for a writ Of habeas
corpus directed at Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Ramsey who have custody of the little
girl at the present time. Judge Pat
tee OF Pima county, who is sitting IN
cases in the local courts this week,
ordered a writ to issue out OF court,
and the Ramseys have been ordered
to appear before him at 10 o'clock this
morning.
Mrs. Sibert claims that Judge Sidney
y. Reeve. of the juvenile court OF Los
Angeles, on July .. 1916. ordered Violet
placed with her. In June, 1871 the
petitioner claims that she was i'll and
TOR convenience and the sole purpose
Of securing proper care for the child
during her illness she was placed in
the detention home with the express
understanding that she would be cared
for two months and then returned to
her grandmother.
That Violet was placed in the Ram
sey home without her consent and
that she is being unlawfully and lille
gally held, is the claim Of Mrs. Sibert
who asserts she has been diligent in
her effort to secure the child's return.
She declares she has the mothers con-
sent to adopt Violet.
The little one, over whom the court
fight is being waged, is now in the
