The fuel administration is carrying
industries which use large quantities
of fuel, with a view to learning the re-
quirementS of each line during 1918.
The industries themselves are playing
a leading part in these discussions.
The aim of the fuel administration is
to arrive at a percentage Of produc-
ton which, under the circumstances,
will be satisfactory to the manufac-
turers and their workmen, but which
will not represent a consumption Of
fuel for the manufacture of supplies
not needed during the current year.
The order which has been issued
limiting the use of fuel for the pro-
duction Of window glass to so per cent
Of the amount manufactured in 1917
Is the result of one of these confer
ences. A survey Of the field indicated
that while not more that 100000
boxes of window glass would be used
In 1918, competitive conditions were
likely to result in an overmanufacture
Of at least 100000 boxes.
II is through this system Of nmita-
ton, together with large economy in
the methods Of using fuel, that the
fuel administration expects to supple
ment the production of coal this year.
1t is hoped, as the railroads strengthen
their facilities, that 1t will be possible
to mine and transport a larger guam
tity Of coal this year than last, but It
Is through these methods Of reducing
consumption that a repetition Of this
years shortage is expected to be pre-
vented.

West Virginia as when Fatrmont and
Palatine were joined by the old sus-

It was built under the direction Of
James L Randolph, assistant engineer
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, at
cost OF about 10000 OF this amount
the state OF Virginia subscribed $12,-
600 and the citizens OF Fairmont and
Palatine $4,000 Of stock. The balance
necessary to complete the work was
borrowed and afterward paid from the

Potato Substi-
stute Recipes TO
Snve Wheat Flour

This Is the last week of the potato
drive" and the reports so far are very
pleasing. The popularity Of the pota-
to Is based on the fact that they are
palatable and wholesome and supply
much food material. and that they are
used in endless ways, as vegetable
with meats, in soup, salads, and in
-four mixtures.
Quantities Of wheat must be con-
served for the American forces and
the allied armies in Europe. We will
be able to help greatly by increasing
our use of potatoes. Great quantities
Of these potatoes will go to waste I'M
less they are used more freely in a
great variety of ways. A few recipes:
Shepherds Pie-Grease baking
dish and cover the bottom with
mashed potato. Cover with thick
layer Of minced meat or fish (any left
with thickentd stock or gravy. Cover
with mashed potatoes. Place in hot
oven for twenty to twenty-five min
utes serve in dish baked in.
Potato Custard-Four large boiled
potatoes, three eggs, one plat milk,
one-half cup grated cheese, one-fourth
cup Victory bread crumbs. salt pap
rika- Cut potatoes into thin slices.
Arrange in layers in a creased baking
dish, sprinkle each layer with the
cheese, salt and paprika- Beat eggs
