BY HARRY A. GARFIELD.

Every householder. every public util.
ity and every Industrial user Of coal
engaged In work essential to the prose-
cution OF the war are earnestly ad.
vIsed and urged to place without de-
lay their orders Tor coal to cover their
needs for the IL months beginning
April l.
During the past II months there has
been suffering among consumers and
curtailment OF essential production by
Industries through inability to obtain
necessary fuel after the beginning OF
winter. A year ago consumers were
led to believe that they might safely
withhold their orders until later In the
year. They labored under the impress
sion that coal could be bought and Sc
cured as well at one time as another.
They were told that there was plenty
Of coal for everybody and that there
would be plenty Of coal cars to move
the coal In also.
This advice and It's acceptance by
consumers was one Of the contributing
causes to the coal shortage. with its
consequent suffering among domestic
consumers and lessening In production
OF commodities needed in our war &C.

The Fuel Administration was not
then In existence and did not begin It's
work until August 23. 1t was then al
ready too late to undo the harm which
had been done. The Fuel Administrn-
ton would be negligent Of its duty to
the public II 1t failed to call attention
at this time to the unfortunate results
OF the mistaken course pursued by the
public year ago and to warn all con.
sumers In the most emphatic manner
possible that a repetition Of those re-
suits can be avoided only by accepting
and acting Immediately upon the Fuel
Administrations advice. here given:
Order Your Coal at Once.
Let every consumer Of the classes
mentioned ascertain his fuel require
ments for the coming year. Do this
Mt once. Order sufficient coal to meet
those requirements. Place your orders
ut once. II domestic consumers have
not sufficient storage space for the
coal they will need they should en-
large their bins. II public utilities and
Industries engaged upon government
work have not sufficient storage space
they should at once provide 1t.
The production of coal in this coun-

problem. There are enough coal cars
and enough locomotives to transport
the necessary quantity of coal, only IL

used to its maximum capacity every
day In the year. There are enough
