S. o. S. From Country.

Towns surrounding keokuk are
clamoring for fuel, and in the small
villages and country districts immed-
lately adjacent to Keokuk telephone
calls for fuel have been numerous.
The local dealers, however, are tax
ing care of their home trade first. The
country districts have wood TO fall
back on, and it would not be wisdom
to handicap Keokuk too much IN this
matter, it is felt
Keokuk has been fortunate too, IN
the use of electric power for some OF
it's industries, and the consequent con-
seryation OF coal. The railroads re-
port large shipments of coal into this
district, and Keokuk hats been getting
good share of this fuel.
For continued cold weather, the fuel
dealers have no apprehension. They
feel that with what they have to send
out today, and the coal that is coming
in here, they can face continued cold
They are, however. a little anxious
over any possible change in the wealth

That the order may extend to plants

of some of the members Of the local
