Palladium Office.
Richmond, Ind.
Some time ago there was published
in the Palladium list of names, my
name being included, which were
classed as Deserters.
In reply to this | wish to say, had
a lawyer here write to the Board in
Richmond on November cath advising
them of my change of address and
asking them to address any communi-
cation to me to my address here.
Again on December 10th this same
lawyer wrote to the Board in Rich
mond asking that my name be trans
Yakima, Washington. since l am per-
manently located here.
I also visited the local Board here
asking what should do about my
papers, whether would get them from
this Board or the one in Richmond
They told me to wait until the Rich
mond Board sent them. This | did,
but they did not reach me until the
oath of January, and in the meantime
my name came out in the list OF
Deserters.
This is humiljating to me since
had made every effort to make my
whereabouts known and 80 get the
papers on time and feel as though
should not be classed as Deserter

The Fuel Administrator
Think it over.

Of all the men in this community working
without remuneration to help win the war, the
fuel administrator for the last two months has
had the most arduous and trying job.
Other voluntary workers had trials that
tested their patience and physical endurance,
but the fuel administrator. because of an acute
shortage of coal that affected hundreds of
homes, had his nerves racked almost to the
breaking point.
He was confronted not only with the task of
preaching coal conservation but also of supply
ing fuel when little, and often none, was to be
procured at the mines to answer the appeals at
his office. The trying nature of his ordeal is ap-
preciated only by those who watched his admin
istrative ability during the crisis.
The patriotic service of the fuel administra-
tor is worthy of the thanks of the whole COM
munity.
His work can be simplified immensely if per-
sons will not bother him with inquiries and re-
quests that common answer Prim-

arily the duty of the coal administrator is to OBJ
tain enough coal for the city as q whole. His
function is not to supervise the distribution OF
coal to the individual homes. He assumed this
task here to alleviate suffering.
If citizen has exhausted his coal and the
dealers are unable to replenish it, let him confer
with his relatives and neighbors first before ne
calls on the fuel administrator.
The situation here is so acute that a man VINO
has plenty of coal in his cellar must share it with
his relatives and neighbors or be willing to take
into his home family that is without fuel.
Many of these minor questions must be settled by
individuals themselves.
1t seems that many of us have lost our sense
of initiative and independence and rely entirely
on the fuel administrator for service which we
can render by taxing our own brains and re-
sources.
The fuel administrator has his hands full
trying to obtain coal for the whole county. Per
sons encroach upon his time when they submit
inconsequential questions to him.
For instance if your coal is dumped in front
Of the house instead of in the cellar or shed,
don't rush to the fuel administrator to seek re-
lief Ask some of your neighbors to help carry it
in
Or, if you have exhausted your coal supply
and cannot replenish it, but have supply of
wood, don't bother the administrator because you
are unable to buy COAL Use wood.
Or, if you are out of fuel, but your father or
brother has supply borrow some from him, and
spare telling your troubles to the administrator.
Helpful cooperation of this kind will simpli-
fly the work of this official. He has worries ga
lore without being annoyed by petty and trifl-
ing details that any person with grain Of COM
mon sense can solve.

Robbing Belgium Babies Of Food

You might expect Hun to take food from the
starving waits of Belgium, but not an American.
And yet that's what some of the gluttons,
men and women in this city doing. Ruth
lessly and shamelessly, with brazen effrontery
and with cold-blooded indifference to the piteous
cries of the hungry tots of our Allies, these un-
desirable citizens are robbing little children of
the wheat and meat necessary for their susten-
ance.
A good portion of the wheat, meat and fats
that Food Administrator Hoover asks us to deny
our overfed stomachs is intended for these hun
cry little ones.
If we knew of one baby in Richmond that did
not have enough food, hundreds of men and won-
en- would rush to it's aid.
Belgium is thousands of miles away. But
President Wilson and Food Administrator Hoov-
see that far. --, a-- ... ..
No pinched and gaunt little Belgian children
stand on our street corners begging for crusts of
bread or go through our garbage cans to retrieve
the valuable food we have thrown away. But
thousands of them went to bed tonight with the
pangs of starvation gnawing at their vitas.
Our babies and children are fat and rosy
checked happy as larks and spry as lambs. But
thousands of their little cousins in Belgium to-
night are wasting away into living skeletons.
Too many of us have eyes that see not and
ears that hear not, otherwise we would be saw
ing food for those little waits in that desolate
and ravshed country.
Too many of us are cruel We don't mean to
be hardhearted, but we are. We are kind to our
selves and goodhearted to our own overfed
bodies That's why some of us eat wheat on
wheatless days. Belgium's starving babies and
Frances hungry children are insignificant in
comparison with our appetites.
If every housewife realized that she was steal
ing food from starving children, would she per-
sist in serving wheat? If every overfed glutton
knew that he was taking sustenance away from
an emaciated and underfed baby, would he per-
sist in his practice?
That's what we do when we violate the food
regulations.
We wonder how some of our food slackers
would feel if the tombstone of Belgian baby car
ried this inscription:
Starved to Death
Because an American Glutton
Denied me Food
