School Board Receiving
Bids For Wood

The Board of Education is today
considering the bids received for
supplying the various schools of the
county with wood for the coming
winter The Board is setting an ex-
ample for other business concerns to
follow. Instead of using the coun-
try's coal supply, they plan to use
wood, of which there is an abun-
dance. They are doing this in order
that our manufacturers of munitions
and other war necessities may have
enough coal to run them through
the cold months and not be forced to
lay off, as they were last year.
The schools have not burned
wood for quite a long time, and
doubtless the pupils and teachers
will have trouble adapting themsel-
yes to the change. Who is not will
ing to do what they can, however, to
do their best to down Kaiser Will
helm?
The bids received bring to mind
the prices paid when the schools for
merly burned wood. A man was
then able to purchase all that he
needed for the sum of one dollar and
fifty cents per cord. These prices
have doubled aud redoubled, until
one now must possess a small for
tune to lay in enough wood to last
over winter.
We are all wishing the Board of
Education well in their patriotic at
tempt, and hope that other business
concerns will follow in their foot
steps.

RID CROSS REQUIRES
KNITTERS AT ONCE
900 Pairs of Socks And 40 Sweaters
Needed to Fill Dorchester Chap
ter's Quota, by September list.

Mrs. Josiah L. Kerr, secretary OF
the Dorchester County Chapter of
the American Red Cross, has receiy-
ed the following letter from the
headquarters in Washington:
Washington, D. c., July 8, 1918.
My dear Mrs. Kerr:
National Headquarters has given
me a knitting allotment for the
Italian Commission to be finished
and shipped to our warehouse by
September 1st. Can you take as
your quota 200 pairs of socks and
40 sweaters, or can you take more
than this?
ments exactly by our directions in
bulletins No 400 A and B, which are
the latest. If you have not already
received them, you can get some by
writing to Mr.. Ferrill, our Director
of Supplies. The Supply Depart
ment expects to have enough wool to
fill allotments, in spite of the fact
that the Governments has comman-
! deered the entire supply in the
country, but of course orders can on
ly be filled in accordance with the
amount in the warehouse at the
time of ordering.
AS there is a tremendous short
age of wool and we are made re-
sponsible for every pound that is
sent out, please do not make one
single article more than is given you
in your allotment. The chapters
must also make themselves respon-
sible for all work done by their
branches and auxiliaries, insisting
that the knitting be done according
to directions This is very impor-
tant.
Please be kind enough to let me
know at once if you will accept this
quota, as 1 must give out the surplus
garments to other chapters if you
cannot fill this allotment.
Yours truly,
.MARGARITA C. HUNT,
Supt Knitting, Hospital Garments
and Supplies.
All persons willing to help fill this
rush order are kindly requested to
notify Mrs. J. I. Williams, William
street, or report at the Red Gross

Production Campaign
Makes Good Progress

Washington. D. c., July 9.-The
production campaign of the Fuel Ad-
ministration, whereby it is intended
to vastly increase the output of the
mines, is meeting with encouraging
response. Already there has been
an appreciate increase in the pro-
duct of the mines, although there
has been no addition to the man
power at the mines. The addresses
being made by John P. White and
other speakers fol the Production
Bureau throughout the country, are
being attended by large gatherings
of miners, and the men are display
ing a highly patriotic spirit.
1t is the aim to increase produc-
ton as much as possible with the
present labor forces before seeking
to attract recruits to the mining
fields. In some of the fields, if not
in a majority of them, the workmen
are reported as making an average of
only three and one-half days per
week. If the average could be rails
ed to five days per week sufficient
coal could be mined to bring the
mine output to one hundred per cent.
of capacity.
With the first week of July the
first locomotive of the fourteen hun
dred ordered by the Railroad Ad-
ministration, was ready for delivery.
Other deliveries will follow quickly.
Also, deliveries have been started up
on the orders for fifty thousand coal
cars. AS these locomotives and cars
are brought into service, the rail-
roads will be able to accept a much
larger tonnage of coal.
In anticipation of this improve
ment in railroad facilities the Fuel
Administration makes its appeal to
the mine workers to stand at their
posts ready to load all the cars that
are offered
