FOOLISH VIRGINS
WISE COMP
WITH 'COALLESS'
Fuel Administrator Draws
Parallel Case From the First
to Delay Their Ordering


About 1000 years ago FIVE
foolish young women were
barred from a wedding because
they had neglected to buy any
oil for their lamps. There were
five others who had plenty of oil
They were the early buyers"
With this reminder to the coal
consumers of Harrisburg and Dau-
phin county, the Dauphin County
Fuel Administration. through Ross
A. Hickok, to-day sounded a warm
ing to householders to place their
orders for next winters coal at an
early date.
Since the first days of spring the
Fuel Administration has been advis-
ing householders to lay in their
next winters coal supply at an early
date. AS a stimulus to early buy
ing, the cost of coal during the sum
L
ber l was reduced thirty cents a ton
Give Two Reasons
There are two reasons for early
buying warns the local Fuel Ad-
ministration. "One is selfish; the
other is patriotic"
Consumers, it is reminded, not
only save money by buying early,
but guard themselves against a repe-
tition of the hardships of last win
ter.
The Fuel Administration sounded
a note of hope to the many coal
consumers this morning, when it
pointed out that those who order
their coal at once, or who have al
ready ordered. will be certain to get
their winters supply of coal. Those
who wait until the winter stand
chance of not getting it, the Fuel
Administration warns, "and you GER
tainly will not get any sympathy
from your neighbors if you shiver,"
ii adds.
The industrial activities of the ma
ton, 1t was pointed out, have caused
the manufacture of many more COM
modities than can possibly be trans
ported. The fact that less freight
is moved during the summer months
IMAM at any otner time makes II
natural that the coal must be moved
in the summer. Therefore, early
buying on the part of all the con-
sumers will relieve the burden of the
railroads next winter.
Don't say to yourself it can't pos
sibly make any difference if 1 don't
buy now. Suppose every one of the
100,00O,O00 people of the country
took that position. What chance do
you suppose you would have of get
ting in your winters coal? What
right have you to assume others will
buy early? Are they more provi-
dent than you? Are they more pa
triotic?' was the appeal sounded by
the Fuel Administration this morn
ing.

Harrisburg people who are going
to match the President and Mayor
Keister are urged to do so at once.
These persons may subscribe through
any bank or through Liberty Loan
headuuarters. When this is done
they should call any Harrisburg
newspaper or the Chamber of Com
merce room and give their names,
SO that they can be included in the
matching list. Scores of persons nave
caught the patriotic spirit of the oc-
casion, it was said. but have not
made known their action.

snonse to the call of the President
