THE COAL SITUATION

Congressman Green sends the Sol
lowing correct information concern
ing the coal situation which will be
Of special interest to the people of
Audubon county.
There is little doubt but that we
will have another acute shortage of
coal next winter. The fuel commits
sion has divided the country into
zones and soft coal for the residents
in these zones, except for certain
special purposes, can only be ship
ped from certain prescribed local
tiles. Under this regulation south
western Iowa will be compelled to
get its soft coal for domestic pur-
poses either from Iowa mines, the
western mines or the southern
mines Of Missouri, Kansas and Ok
lahoma. We have been accustom-
ed to get some coal from the west.
almost none from the south and a
large portion from Illinois. This
change in the source of shipments
will necessitate early contracts. The
danger in storing Iowa coal is well
known, consequently, if possible.
the southern or western coal should
be obtained. If this coal is not pur-
chased early in the season, it is
likely to be difficult and perhaps
impossible to obtain it during the
fall and winter. An excellent coal
is produced in Colorado of good
keeping qualities. The Wyoming
coal is fine but does not keep so
well. The southern coal has not
been used enough in Iowa to be
fairly tested, but it is claimed to be
good, and no great amount. even of
the western coal, has heretofore
been used in our state. 1t will be
necessary for dealers to order early
If they get this coal at all and in
order for dealers to do this, the con-
sumers order should be put in early
The dealers will doubtless do all
they can to obtain coal but without
sumers at this time there will be
much suffering next winter If the
dealers are not able to get the coal
and will write to their representa-
tive at Washington, he will take
the matter up with the fuel COM
mission. which has promised him to
order the necessary shipments. This
matter is so important that it is to
be hoped that no one VIII put the
matter off, but that everyone will
at once use the utmost endeavor to
get in their stocks of soft coal for
next winter. 1t would also help the
general situation for the same thing
to be done with reference to hard
coal.
The western railroads are not now
congested. Freight. as rule, is
coming through on time and IL cars
can be procured the coal also ought
to be obtained.
There are some kinds of Iowa
coal that can be safely stored In a
dry and comparatively cool cellar in
small quantities. A few tons of this
will be much better than nothing
next winter II the other coal cannot
be obtained.

CONSERVATION OF
WOODEN MATERIALS

At this season of the year, when
house cleaning claims the attention
of the women of Iowa. it is well to
recognize the value of cast-off gar
ments, and the contents of the rag
bag.
The shortage of wool makes it
imperative that all old as well as
new scraps of wool be saved and sold
to commercial concerns which will
use this material in manufacturing
textiles and paper. According to
Forrest Crissey in the Country Gen
tleman, March Second. Another
dark element in the future wool sit
uation is the fact that we are not
going to have any national rag bag
! to run to as salvage resource, at
least not any compared with what
we have had in times of peace. The
immense quantities of wool going
into the soldiers uniforms will be
out of the salvage reckoning, at least
for long time to come"
Cast off wooden garments should
be carefully inspected and classified
as follows: Those which can be
worn next fall by slight alterations.
such as making new collar, cuffs and
vest, Strengthening bottom of jacket
and skirt, binding worn edge of
sleeve, skirt and jacket with flat
braid and replacing buttons; those
which must be combined with new
materials and those which must be
re-cut. These garments should be
stored for use next fall. Let the at
tic and clothes press testify to the
patriotism of the housewife, by be-
ing absolutely free of cast-off wool
en- garments which have not been
cleaned and put into shape for fall
use
Where garments have been out
grown and there are no younger
members of the family for whom
they may be used, they should be
given to families where they will be
used.
Let all women see to it that every
inch of wool in their possession is in
use this coming fall.
Not only should there be conser-
walton of wool at this time. but also
there should be conservation of time
and energy in making over wooden
garments.
While boarding of wooden mater
the woman in the home to buy new
wooden garments when they are not
absolutely necessary.
Where it is necessary to buy new
wooden suits, coats or dresses, wo-
men at present should recognize that
they must buy for long service. This
means the selection of durable ma
terials, simple designs, and colors
which will not fade.
Buy all wooden garments of ma
terial which will meet the demands
made upon it for three or four years
Select a style which is so simple and
inconspicuous that it will not look
out of style as long as the material
lasts. These precautions will apply
equally as well to whatever substi-
tute materials are now on the mar
ket and will be in greater variety
when the present supply of wooden
garments and materials is exhausted.
Intelligent use of old wooden ma
terials, intelligent buying of new
wooden materials is the volunteer
service which women may render in
this time of serious wool shortage.

WHY SUFFER so?

Why suffer from a bad back, from
sharp, shooting twinges, headaches,
dizziness and distressing urinary
ills. Audubon people recommend
Doans Kidney Pills. Could you ask
for stronger proof of merit?
Mrs. S. l.. MantZ, Audubon, says
Last spring l felt rheumatic trouble
coming on and one day l had a sud-
den attack which struck me first in
my hips and loins, then went down
to my knees. The pain was so bad
couldn't walk. l had to give up
my work and when l tried to get
about I needed support. 1t was my
kidneys that bothered me mostly at
that time. My knee joints became
swollen and my back hurt me at
night. / was miserable in every way.
Doan's Kidney Pills were recon-
mended to me and by the time
had finished the first box, / was on
the way to recovery. l got another
box and they made cure. All the
pains left me and l could get about
easily"
Price soc at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills--the same
that Mrs. Mantz had. Foster-Mil-

GOVERNMENT CALLING
FOR SURPLUS SEED CORN

The County Agent has received a
request from the government for
surplus stocks of seed corn of early
maturing varieties, both 1916 and
1917 corn-preferably the old corn.
This surplus seed corn is TO be ship
ped to Des Moines for distribution to
farmers in the southern part of the
state, who

late to secure seed in any other way.

her illness, which will be gratifying
news to her many friends.

2. Fail to get good stands thru
using poor seed, and find it neces-
sary to replant.
8. Have losses of stands thru
washing or other damages.
The farmers of this county are
therefore asked to help supply the
needs of the government in this seed
corn crisis. Every man having cribs
or even small lots of 1916 corn, and
good 1917 corn, should sort over his
corn and pick out the best he has.

each lot of SO bushels will have to

AUTO COLLISION

Saturday afternoon. just after the
dinner hour, Jens Loss and George
Oelke met with their Ford cars at
the intersection near the Christian
church. Jens was driving east and
George was going south, when in
ZONE manner the Loss car ran into
the Oelke car, breaking off one rear
wheel and putting it out of COM
mission. The front tXle of the Loss
car was sprung and one headlight
broken. Mr.. Loss was able, how
ever, to proceed with his auto truck
and the Oelke Colorado Special
was detained until repairs were
made. Fortunately the men were
uninjured.

DOWN IN BURLINGTON

OF course, ii S not particularly our business up here in Middlesex
who the people Of Burlington county choose for their state senator,
but W e cannot refrain from speaking a good word for Senator Harold
i. Wells, who is a candidate for denomination in Burlington this year.
We sincerely hope that Burlington county foIks-and we have a right
to sneak of them a S folks, too-wil send Wells back to the senate
for another term. lie has served New Jersey well in the upper house
of the legislature and has reflected credit upon his constituents.
We said it was none of our business who was elected senator in
Burlington, but it is somewhat our business, too. The state legisla-
ture has a great deal to say about the regulation of county and NUM-
cipal affairs all over the state, and, in that sense, the senator from
Burlington has as much to say about laws desired for Perth Amboy
and Middlesex As the senator from our own county has. Looking at
the matter from this point of view, W e are very much interested in
the senatorial election in Burlington and we only wish our circnla-
ton extended far enough so that we could reach the voters of Bur
lington as wen as those Of Middlesex and Monmouth.
Just at present Wells is having a fight at the primaries with
Blanchard White for the Republican nomination "Blanch White,
as he is popularity called, has been al old time machine politician and
knows how to play the game. But it is not so much knowing how to
play the game these days as it is the service one renders the people
When it comes to real service, Wells has got it all over his opponent
Then, too, there is another reason why we, up here in Middlesex,
can be interested in having Wells returned to the senate from Bur
lington. If Governor Edge is nominated and elected to the United
States senate, as there is good reason to believe that he will be, and if
Wells ire -elected senator, the latter stands a good chance to become
acting governor when Edge resigns to go to Washington. This is
assuming that Senator Emerson Richards, of Atlantic county, who is
going into the army, viii be out of the running for president of the
senate and that Wells, who will be a candidate for that position if he
is reelected, will be chosen. The constitution provides that when the
Office Of governor is vacated the president of the senate shall become
acting governor until a successor is elected.
WI would like to see Wells in the governor chair and as his
would directly concern the whole state, We again venture to dabble
a little in Burlington county affairs and express the hope that the
folks down there will have the good sense to re-nominate and re-electI
Wells IS state senator for another year.

READY FOR THE A

With the meeting of workers and committee chairmen at the city
hall last night the campaign for the fourth Liberty Loan may be said
to have been launched in Perth Amboy. Judging from the large at
tendance and the enthusiasm displayed, the city's quota will be
reached and passed, as has been done ON every other occasion.
The actually soliciting for the sale of bonds will not begin until
Saturday, September %, but the real success of such a campaign de-
ponds more on the organization that is perfected before the actual
work begins than it does on the canvassng. 1t is completing this
organization that is now occupying the attention of the leaders and
it is being done in a most thorough manner.
The next big event in connection with the drive will be the mass
meeting in the high school auditorium on Friday night, September 81,
the night preceding the beginning of the actual canvass. This meet
ing will be preceded by a parade in which it is hoped that every team
worker viii take part. The procession will be headed by the militia
reserve with their band.
This is, perhaps the greatest undertaking that has ever con-
fronted the city and it is the duty Of every citizen to render every
assistance. As was pointed out at the meeting last night, this is gov
eminent work of the greatest importance, and it depends upon the
results in each individual town and city throughout the United States
whether this fourth loan is to be a success.
Perth Amboy has a fine record to uphold. If you believe in the
war and want to show that you are standing behind the boys who
have gone to France, you viii not hesitate to do your full part in
this campaign
