Fuel Administration Reports Pre-
scribed Weekly Output of Btu

Reports received today by the fuel
administration from the bituminous
fields indicate the general acceptance
of weekly production quotas by min
ers, operators and managers through
out the eastern section of the coun-
try.
1t is here that the need of increased
production is the greatest at present.
The pledging of quotas was recon-
mended by Fuel Administrator Gar
field as means of filling the ma
tions's domestic and military fuel re-
cuirements during the next six
months
The aroused spirit of the miners is
illustrated by the fact that at many

working overtime in order to MAIN
tain their quotas.
Fuel administration officials are very
much encouraged by the co-opera ton
that has been obtained on all sides,
but they say that the public must un-
derStand fully that in spite of the
expected increase in production the
most rigid economy must be observed
by domestic and industrial users of

Under a hail of bullets from the

The evangelist gave us a strong adj

were invited: the thirsty, the hungry,
and the wicked. It was a good dis
course and good interest.
Three grown folks came forward to
unite with the church.
DR.. Lamar and party from Clear

led in prayer. We have had several
visiting ministers with US since the
meeting nbegan. The Rev. Dr. Shu-
mate of Oldsmar was with us Tues

An offering was taken at the close

nacle debt Thus far we have receiv-
ed very little money from the business
mon Of on 1town on the tabernacle.
We hope they will show a good spirit
and make some liberal contributions
We are not unmindful of the many de-
mands for money at this time. We
must not forget the church. The want
Of the Christian religion has brought
On he worlds war.
Krap the gospel from the 100000
600 coo Chinese and we will have more
fan German peril, we will have the
Yellow peril.
Grant said, speaking of China:
"There is q giant, but he is asleep. Do
not wake him" China is waking.
Hasten with the gospel! If the fires
of the gospel die at home, how can
we send it to China?

The weakest institution in our midst
is the church. Let us push the church
