To The st. Tammany Farmer:
New Orleans, April 19.-That the
coal situation throughout the coHn-
try is already acute, that Louisiana
may be told in the winter that thcy
cannot get coal as it will be needed
for munition plants and ships, ana
that the public must buy in the suh-
mer their winters supply and use as
much wood as possible-this is the
message of Fuel Administrator jno.
G. O'Kelley to every person in Lou
isiana.
Mr.. O'Kelley returned this. week
from Washington where. was in col
ference with other administrators i'll
connection with the war program.
Simultaneous withzthe warning OF
the coal situation Administrator o.
Kelley issues a new appeal to every
farmer and person who lives in VII
| lagos or towns of Louisiana to cut
A Cord Now
Mr.. O'Kelley's statement to the
! country people in part follows:
"The 'Wheatless Days"of the Food
| Administration offer parallel OF
what can be expected if the people do
not, heed the U. S. Fuel Administers
TONS warning and get their coal
and wood during the summer.
y tThe man who would like to burn
coal because it's easier and handler
but who thinks enough of his coun-
try and the boys ''oyer there SC
tthat he shoulders his axe, -spurns the
Iheat of summer and goes cut to cut
wood in order to save coal, is help.

"This country has lots of Woo

which to handle it. Don't allow thi
years neglect to result in next year
suffering. when little forethough
and a little added energy will meal
comfort in your homeland in that g

that Washington authorities urge the
Fuel Administrative to impress upon
PRODUCERS of non-essential materials
the gravity of the situation. "They
may find themselves without coal
and unable to ship their products
this winter" said Mr.. OKelley
"They should, If possible, turn their
plants or factories to, production OF
war materials. The business can be
obtained in Washington and they are
urged now to go after this war busi=
ness if they expect to continue in
operation.

tions of the country | believe do not
realize that we must make sacrifices
and everyone of us do our full share.
We are in the war and must win, 1t

GARDNER VALUABLE.
Athletics New Third Baseman Looks
Good to Philadelphia Paper.

There Is every reason to believe that
Larry Gardner, obtained by Connie Mack
from the Boston Red Sox by trade, Will
prove the best third baseman in fielding
sense who ever played ON the Athletic
team. Mack makes no secret of the fact
that he is more than ordinarily pleased
by his acquisition of Gardeners services
The report that Gardner has passed the
zenith OF his career and is on the decline
Is all camoufage, probably designed to
nlacate the Boston fans, with whom he
was extremely popular As a fielder it is
safe to say that he had no superior in the
American League, if in major league cir
cles. Philadelphia fans will see the hot
corner played this year as they never
fave seen it on the Athletic grounds Lave
ross in his palmiest days never was Gard
ner's equal as fielding artist, while Frank
Bakers work in this respect cannot be
compared with the former Red Sox. Gard
Ter is also more than an average hitter
He has consistently averaged $50 since
playing in the majors, highly satisfactory
percentage for man so proficient in
other departments
Gardner will prove of more value to

University of Vermont, and both col

Lord quit the club Gardner was shifted
