FIFTY YEARS OF couRrsHIP

Lancaster, Mo-, June AT st.
Joseph, Mo. on the morning OF May
80, 1918. occurred the marriage Of JOS
eph Downing and Miss Dora B. Hale.
The groom was IS years old and the
bride was 81, neither having been pro
viously married.
In early life they became acquainted
with each other and their friendship
soon ripened into open admiration and
mutual love. Their path Of love was
doomed for years to become one Of
faithful waiting. Obstacles which they
could not surmount continued through
the years to hold them apart But the
tide Of time, though bringing whitened
locks, had no effect upon the love
within.

ton would be negligent of its duty to the public if it failed to call attention at this time to the unfortunate results of the mistaken course pursued by the public a year ago and to warn all con sumers in the most emphatic manner possible that a repetition of those re- suits can be avoided only by accepting and acting immediately upon the Fuel Administration advice, here given:
 Order Your Coal at Once. mentioned ascertain his fuel require ments for the coming year. Do this at once. Order sufficient coal to meet those requirements. Place your orders at once. If domestic consumers have not sufficient storage space for the coal they will need they should enlarge their bins. If public utilities and industries engaged upon government work have not sufficient storage space they should at once provide 1t.
 The production of coal in this coun- try is fundamentally transportation problem. There are enough coal cars and enough locomotives to transport the necessary quantity of coal, only if every car and every locomotive is used to It's maximum capacity every day in the year. There are enough operatives in the mines to get the coal from the ground if those operatives can work every day in the year and If the coal cars and locomotives are available ev- cry day.
 The fuel problem is to get the coal from the first place of deposit to the final place of deposit with as little de- lay as possible and in as steady and continuous stream as circumstances will permit. The railroads may be compared to water pipe, which needs to run full all the time to carry the necessary amount of water to its des- tination. If that water is shut off for any appreciable time it means an ulti- mate shortage. The pipe can carry no more than It's maximum capacity per day.
 Borrow, If You Must.
 Inconvenience of paying for coal in
  be needed until autumn or winter should not influence any consumer to delay placing his order and securing his supply. It Is far wiser to borrow money in the spring to pay for ones coal than to wait until autumn or winter, when if the coal has not been mined and shipped money cannot pro- cure 1t.
 The Fuel Administration, through the State Fuel Administrators and To- cal committees, is prepared in every reasonable way to aid public utilities, essential industries, retail dealers and domestic consumers in placing their orders and in securing assurance of a I sufficient supply of fuel. All these governmental agencies, however, are nowerless- If the consumers themselves
