NOTICE.

To Chairmen Local Committees, To Arkansas Consumers of Coal: 1. The fuel situation confronting the nation is serious. It is impera- tive that there be cooperative dis position on the part of steam-users to equip their boilers for the use of such grades of coal as may be avail able, if the domestic consumers and the essential industries are not to have a shortage of prepared sizes during the trying days of the com ing winter
 2. Loss of coal production in many of the western states, includ- ing Arkansas, is largely attributable to the fact that there is not now sui ficient means for the untilization of slack coal. The early ordering cam- paign in this state has met with 2 ready response on the part of con- sumers, and retail dealers report they booked sufficient orders to keep them busy 50 days, and those who have not placed their orders should do so now. 3. Industrial plants and the con- sumers of prepared sizes are expected to do their full duty, and the steam7 users are called upon to make pre- parations for the use of more slack, or the whole system of production and distribution will be badly crip-i pled
 4. It is urged upon the owners of steam plants in Arkansas, as a pa triotic duty, that they proceed to equip their boilers with special grates and blowers to enable them to burn and utilize approximately one hundred and fifty thousand tons of Anthracite slack that for the pres ent, there is no market, and place their orders to the extent of their storage capacity.
 5. This applies especially to Am thracite slack. The changes in fire box equipment can be made at 2 comparatively small cost and it will, in the end, prove to be more econom- ical, on account of the lower cost of slack, and at the same time, will aid in the production of Anthracite coal that is so badly needed. 6. Get ready to burn more slack and keep the miners busy. H. c. COUCH,
 U. s. Fuel Administrator for Ark ansas.

MRS. AVERY MOORE
KILLED BY ACCIDENT

A young mother, with everything
to live for, was yesterday afternoon
snatched from this life by the grim
hand of death. Mrs. Avery Moore
accompanied by a neighbor, Mrs.
Lee, was shopping in town yesterday
afternoon. Together they started
on their homeward journey about six
o'clock. When between the Haw-
kins and Lear farms, five miles south
east of Guymon, the horse that Mrs
Moore was driving, in switching flies,
got the reins beneath its tail. Being
full of life and a rapid trotter, il
started down the road at pace that
frightened Mrs. Moore. Mrs. Lee
who was holding the 2-year-old child
had just cautioned the driver not to
pull upon the lines. Evidently Mrs
Moore was excited, for her compan'
ion says that the next she knew Mrs
Moore had raised up and started &c
Jump from the buggy. In doing Sc
she caught the heel of her shoe on the
side of the buggy and fell to the
round, causing conclusion and severe
bleeding. She was dead in less thar
five minutes. This is very sac
death, for besides the husband hive
bows between the ages of 10 months
and Ia years are left motherless. The
funeral will be held today from the
home and interment will be made II
the Guymon Cemetery.-Guymor

1t is the patriotic duty of every
woman to attend the W. G. Council
of National defense at the Woman's
Club House twice each. month. Our
boys are training and fighting to pre-
serve inviolate the sacred institutions
of home and state and we should be
only too glad to give little of our
thought and time to the momentous
questions of conservation, social SER
vice, industry, and loyalty. Every
| patriotic woman is member of the
Council of Defense and is urged to
come. The meetings are the second
and fourth Friday of each month at
2:30 p. m. You are urged to come.

DROWNED

Mr.. and Mrs. L. s. Dobbins suf-
fered the extreme misfortune Of los
ing their 2-year-old son by drowning
in the stock tank last Friday evening.
The little fellow had slipped out TO
the tank, which is not in view from
the house, unnoticed by the mother
and the other children. It is suppos-
ed that he climbed upon block OF
cement and possibly being attracted
by glass bottle in the bottom OF the
tank has lost his balance in his efforts
to reach it with the awful result.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dobbins and chill
dren movud to tie Ray Roberts farm.
a couple of months ago and were
temporarily sharing the house with
the r. E. Davis family. The funeral
services were held at the home last
Saturday, conducted by Rev Wheat
of the Methodist church, and inter-
ment made in the Greenland GENE
terry at Meade.
This is the second misfortune that
has befallen the Dobbins family, a
year old baby being crushed by the
hind wheel Of a wagon after falling
off the wagon tongue in runaway
on June 81, 1915.
Mr.. Dobbins stated to the journal
that he had travelled the United
States from coast to coast, and had
never found a more generous or SYM
pathetic people than we have here in
Western Kansas. Because OF this
fact their misfortune has been little
more easy to bear.
The Journal joins with the entire
community in extending sympathy to
the Dobbins family in their bereave'
ment.-Plains Journal.

RULES OR SAVING
GOAL THIS WHITE R

Philadelphia, Sept. 14.-Various ways
to save coal and still keep warm are
pointed out by the General Committee
of the Anthrancite Coal Operators in
a series of suggestions given out here
on conservation of the fuel during the
coming winter months. Briefly they
are:
Start furnace and kitchen-range fires
as late as possible. Forget the first
few cool Fall days.
Raise window curtains during the
day to admit sunlight, for that is free
heat. Dispense with awnings as they
shut out the sun.
Weatherstrip all doors and windows
and put asbestos around all furnaces,
boilers and celler pipes used for heat
ing purposes.
Reduce the home temperature to 81
degrees. Do not wait until the mercury
shows "A degrees before closing drafts.
By this time that extra amount of coal
will have been consumed and wasted
according to all economic rules.
Bedrooms. where windows are open
ed for the night or otherwise. should
be shut off from heat. Use blankets
and feel better in the morning
Wear heavier clothing. This mater
tally saves body heat.
Thoroughly clean SCOT from pipes
and boilers and do. not mind doing q
little work in the celler seeing that
window panes are tight and weather.
stripped like the other parts of the
house.
Burn oil, wood, coke and bituminous
when possible. Use gas for cooking
and heating. Gas lighting at night
aids nheating the home, stores md
buildings where used.
Use heavy draperies on doors and
windows for interior home decoration.
This aids in outstanding interior heat
supply.
