use in the navy and merchant ma rine.
 Wood clubs are being organized in various parts of the state Tag your shovel day will be very generally observed on January 30, wood cut ting clubs are being formed, coal dealers are making arrangements to open wood yards next summer, and there has been radical change of attitude generally toward the fuel problem.
 Orders of the Fuel Administration drastic in some instances, especially in the use of natural gas and coal, ill the industries, have been willingly observed by the people without com plaints, except in rare cases.
 During the coming spring and sum- mer it is the purpose of the State Fuel Administrator to conduct a gen eral campaign for the buring of wood.
 The coal shortage. is a problem of transportation.
The courier-index., 1918-02-01

The United States produced in 1917 something like 75.0O0.000 tons Of coal. This represents gain of ten per cent over 1916. and a gain of 20 per cent over 1915, so it would appear that there is no pros, pect of an early exhaustion of the supply.
 There is always plenty of coal 400 times as much of it under the United States right now as we and our ancestors have dug out in the last hundred years.
 And there are coal mines enough 1000 mines and 100000 miners. Even in the unprecedented year of 1916, the productive capacity of the mines was 100 million tons above the actual production.
 In 1915, good year, the 5000 soft coal mines of the country work. ed only 203 full days, and produced two-thirds as much coal as they might have produced
 The difficulty is to get the coal to the right place. The solution of this difficulty is what the consumer is principally paying for when he buys his winter coal. Half ol his coal bill goes for railroad transportation. and for hauling through the city streets.
 It Is the moving of coal and not the mining of it that gives the big new Fuel Administration most of it's work to do.
 Distribution is the thing. The State Administrators concern them selves, directly. with nothing else. Production is left for the Washington office to handle. But the Washing ton office. too. is mainly occupied with getting coal from one point generally siding in railroad yard ito another nOint, as the furnaces of hospitals, the bunkers of scout cruis- CTS, or the coal box of one of the hundred neediest cases.
 If the ill or the needy should be permitted to suffer, or the scout cruiser should make only 25 knots when 30 knots would mean many lives saved. or if anything goes wrong anywhere with heating plant or engine, suggestion is likely to reach the Fuel Administration that il do something immediately-an and preferably to the railroads.
 There has been sufficient conges- tion at railroad terminals to lend some color to the frequent charges that the railroads are responsible for the present coal shortage But the real cause of the trouble goes beyond the railroads.
 Our whole system of coal produc- ton and distribution is wasteful.
 Our national use of fuel is extrava- gant. IL is wasteful, not so much of resource, as mine labor, and especial ly transportation
 But the coal industry is fundamen- tai. Railroads and manufacturers have shaped themselves to the exist

ing state of the industry. To make any radical changes in the coal trade would be to throw the whole ma chinery out of gear.
 That the Feul Administration is accomplishing something is shown by the fact that the Navy and trans ports have been getting all the coal they need, that the cantonments and munitions factories are kept we'll supplied and that the railroads in this time of the worlds greatest need is carrying the greatest volume of traffic in their history.

CHAGRES HARD TO CONTROL
Maximum Discharge of Panama River
Has Been Certified at 720 Times
the Minimum.

The lowest stage of the Chsgres
river at Alhaiuela during the 1918
dry season was reached on April Z,
8, 9 and 10. The minimum mo-
mentary discharge was 466 cubic feet
second, at a surface elevation of
GLIB feet.
In every year of the past ten years
except 1910 the lowest stage of the
Chagres has been reached some time
during the month of April. The av-
erage date of the lowest flow has
been April 10.
The least momentary flow on rec
ord at Alhajuela is $50 cubic feet a
second, which occurred on April 20
and ri, 1912. Compared with the
greatest momentary discharge of
record, 10000 cubic feet a second,
on December &c, 1909, it Wilt be
seen that the maximum momentary
discharge of record at Alhajuela is
720 times as great as the absolute
minimum flow on record at this sta
ton.
The maximum river height at
Vigia was 1880 feet on December
&c, 1909. The minimum river height
at Vigia is approximately 1876 feet.

LOOKING AHEAD"
IN WHEAT CRISIS
Food Administration viii Follow
Example Of Joseph and
Provide For Future.

Joseph interpreted the dream of
Pharaoh and said:
"Eehold, there come seven years of
great plenty throughout all the land
And there shall arise after
them seven years of famine:
"And let them ;;at her all The food of
those good years that come and lay
up corn, and let them keep
food in the cities.
'"And that food shall be for store
to the land against the seven years
of famine"
1t is no dream which Mr. Heinz in
terprets when he warns the people of
Pennsylvania against waste and calls
upon them to conserve to the utmost
this years abundant crops The pros
pect of q bumper wheat yield this
year, he says, Is no reason for chang
ing the measures already in effect to
save wheat against future needs.
"FOr many years past" he explains,

it was the saving factor In case of a
crop failure, which is apt to occur at
any time. This year was an exception.
Our surplus from 1915 was small. The
1917 crop was very small Now, just
before the 1918 harvest, we find our
wheat bins swept clean, with the de-
mands upon us greater than ever be-
fore.
I'VE must, therefore, follow the
time-honored and oft-tested precedent
established by Joseph and gather the
food of the good years that come, for
store against the years of famine. We
must accumulate new surplus to take
the place of that which has Aeen swept
away 1t Is more than prudence to
do so it is n vital necessity. This
years wheat crop will he large: next
years crop may he failrre-no one
can predict. But out of This years
supply it is entirely possible for us to
accumulate surplus which would
avert disaster which crop failure In
1919 would surely bring.

state the necessity for the greatest
care in the matter of their use of
bagging, especially burlap bags.
There is" he says, IAN extreme
shortage in the supply Of jute from
which. burlap is made. This product
is imported from India and the short
age of ships has interfered materially
with the supply while the demands of
the army for these bags which are
used in trench warfare Is further de-

Fertilizer and other products used
by farmers are customarily shipped In

Mr.. Tyson makes the practical sug-

in 200-pound bags, If possible. 1t is
estimated that the monetary saving
possible in the handling of the three
million tons of fertilizer now shipped
in smaller bags will amount to four
million dollars annually If the product
were shipped in 200-pound bags.
AS an example of the difficulties
arising from the shortage of jute 1t Is
noted that manufacturers of llnOleum

BID HIGH FOR PRIvATE's HAT
Headgear That Belonged to corneiius
Vanderbilt, Jr., Brought 5000
In Liberty Loan Bonds.

It was not until Private Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Jr., headquarters troop
of the Twenty-seventh division, Of
fered his service hat in the Globe
theater, New York, during the recent
Liberty loan campaign, if some one
would bid a fve-thousand-dollar
Liberty bond for it that his friends
knew he had come to New York
after months of continuous service
at Camp Wadsworth.
And in that amusing bond-selling
episode his identity was not made
known until he signed for bond at
the theater. He wrote: "Priyate
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., special
dispatch driver, Twenty-scventh di-
vision, Spartanburg, American expe-
dictionary forces" Those last three
words may be eloquent of the imme-
diate future.
The young soldiers well-seasoned
service hat proved fine bait for a
bond. 1t was snapped up for $4,000
in an instant and passed back to the
new owner in the orchestra seats.
"Give it back to the soldier; he
may need it," some one in the audi
ence said, and SO Private Vanderbilt
eventually got his hat back after it
had won $4,000 for the government.
He came with his father, Col. Cor

Philadelphia, May 7.--Mr. E. Law
renee Fell, of Philadelphia, has been
appointed director of the Commercial
Economy Board for Pennsylvania.
This board is branch of the Council
of National Defence. Mr.. Fell has
entered upon his duties, working in
close cooperation with Howard Heinz,
U. S. Food Administrator for Pennsyl-
vania and chairman of the Food Sup
ply Division of the Committee of Pub
lie Safety.
In setting forth the scope of his
work, Mr.. Fell made this statement:
at must be evident to merchants
and business men that in order to
win this war we will have to put
every available man into the army or
into the governments service produc-
ing for that army. The purpose of
the economy board is to encourage
and assist in the elimination of all
waste.
"0ne of the first of our serious en-
deavors will he TO eliminate excessive
deliveries. We look forward, in the
grocery trade, for example, to not
more than one delivery a day to any
one household and over any one route
and probably it will be necessary to
reduce suburban deliveries of large
grocery stores and department stores
to two or three per week.
"Where this reduction has already
been accomplished merchants have
been surprised and gratified mt the
hearty cooperation of the public and
have received practically no criticism
for so doing. Department stores in
a number of our large cities have cur
tailed deliveries to one day and have
eliminated special deliveries and spe-
cial service, or lave made a satisfac-
tory charge for this service, sufficient
ly large to discourage it,
From time to time this office will
put forth various concrete PROPOSE
tons looking toward the carrying out
of tie general policy of saving waste
and when it is possible will inaugurate
local campaigns to carry out these
propositions"
MIR. FELL makes an appeal to public
officers, chambers of commerce, mer-
chants associations and other civic
bodies of the state, to cooperate with
him in bringing about the reforms
which are in his care. Mr.. Fell is
graduate of Swarthmore College in
the class of 1883 and is president of
the Franklin Printing Company. He
is on the membership committee of
the Union League and three years as
president of the United Typothetae of
America-the printers national organ
ization. Mr.. Fell has devoted himself
to the education Of his craft in fac
tory management and cost-accounting
He has spent fifteen years in lecturing
and writing on these subjects through
out the United States. He was select
ed by the COMMERCIAL Economy Board
because of his experience in the elm,
nation of waste and the study he has
made of efficiency methods

EARLY POSTAL RATES HIGH.

Referring to the statement recent
ly published, that the postal rate es-
tablished in 1851 was ''from two to
four times the present one," SUBJ
scriber writes: at may help further
to contentment with the present cost
to learn that in 1s34-only ~ years
earlier-the postage from New York
city to the newer settlements half
way across New York state was 1884
or 1924 or 371a cents. The correct
change was easily made by use of the
coins then current-sixpences and
New York state shillings, worth
about half as much as the English
coins Of the same names. There
were no postage stamps; the amount
to be paid was written by hand upon
the corner. There was no railway;
the stage took several days for that
trip, one way. Envelopes were not
in use; the large square letter sheets
were folded in an ingenious and
rather intricate manner to make the
outer leaf form a secure wrapping,
then fastened by a wafer of sealing
wax. This folding was taught in
school by the writing teacher and
was puzzling to learn,-Outlook.
