FUEL ADMINISTRATOR
SAYS BUY COAL NOW
The Situation is Growing Alarm
ing. Don't Be a Stacker.

ing. Don't Be a Stacker.
Rube Oglesby, representative
of the State Fuel Administra-
tion, was in Lexington Tuesday
and was in conference all day
with officials Of the Western Coal
& Mining Co., and a committee
of Miners on a petition asking
for a train to transport them to
and from the mines.
The conference ended by an a.
greement that each side would
try to iron out some feasible
plan whereby this train could be
put on and not decrease the out
put.
The Fuel Administration is do
ing everything possible to in
crease the out put of coal and
at any time or place they see
where conditions can be chang
ed SO as to increase the tonnage,
they at once recommend such
changes.
In talking with Mr.. Oglesby
about conditions here in Lexing-
ton, he said: '9The people of Lex
ington must not overlook the
fact that it is just as much their
duty to store their winters sup
ply Of coal now as it is for a
town with no mines within 100
miles, for the coal shortage is
bound to come and when the e.
mergency calls begin to come in,
your chairman, Mr.. Hopkins,
will have instructions to care for
the people who didn't have the
money to buy during the sum
mer in preference to the ones
who could store and didn't. The
domestic consumer who can
store now and does not, is no
more than a Stacker and will be
treated as such this winter.
! undertand that some of your
schools and public institutions
are not storing fuel but are wait
ing until they need it, thinking
that because Mr.. Hopkins is a
home man and that the mines
are close by, they can get coal
any time. Iwish to say that Mr..
Hopkins is a patriotic citizen
and a government official who
will enforce any order that is
given him, and | am of the opin-
ion that Lexington people had
better wake up and get busy on
their winters supply of coal.
The 18th zone of which this
county is one, is 100000 tons
short and each week shows a
falling off and the only way to
prevent suffering this winter is
to conserve and prepare the best
way you can while you car"
