UNDEYELOPED RESOURCES

Columbia has suffered from a coal
scarcity while within her reach, with
in walking distance, are ample sup
plies of coal North of Columbia are
coal mines that have been, mined for
years. The mines are on or near the
Blackfoot Gravel road, which nor
mally is easily travelled by the coal
haulers. These mines could not re-
lieve the situation during the last
fuel crisis on account of the roads.
Drifts of snow covered the roads and
made travel impossible. The coal is
of a good grade. Why is it that Col
umbia, year after year, prefers to run
the risk of a coal famine and refuses
to take advantage of the opportunity
so near?
Modern machinery is needed to re-
place the antiquated mining methods.
Means of transporting this coal to
Columbia and to the railroads is also
needed A spur of one of the rail-
roads, or a small narrow-gauge pri-
vate road is a sensible solution.
These mines could be made to supply
Columbia, and coal could be shipped
to other nearby points.
Certainly it is a waste of natural
opportunities not to take advantage
of these stores of coal.

WAR CONSERVATION

The whole world is short of fuel.
iron, copper, leather, woolen goods,
cotton, chemicals, and doubtless nu-
merous other articles.
Our country, the United States,
three thousand miles from the wars
ravages, and with practically no di-
minuation of productive power up to
the last autumn, is living from hand
to mouth" This fact suggests the
possibility of famine in the future.
OF course that possibility depends
upon the duration of the war. We
cannot too early realize our task. We
should practice economy and conser-
vation now.
The last census report showed
thirty-eight million men, women, and
children employed in various produc
tion industries in our country. Count
ing the number of men under arms,
and those employed in munition and
allied trades, not less than three
times that many-the best labor OBJ
tainable in the world-have been
practically idle, so far as useful la
Dor and production is concerned, for
three and a half years.
The world over is living, so to
speak, from hand to mouth. The pres.
sure, undoubtedly, is far greater in
Germany, Austria, and elsewhere
abroad The slightest waste here now
means immediate want somewhere
else. For this reason, help your
neighbors by conserving.

THE OPEN COLUMN
Drafting the Food.

Editor the Missourian: People all
over the United States are responding
to the rulings and pleadings of the
Food Administration, attempting to
conserve by limiting diet, eating diff
ferent things and in some cases eat
ing less. Never before has it been
necessary for the American people
to save food, and it is hard to begin,
not only because of the desire for
regular portions, but because of the
lack of knowledge. There actually
exists a food shortage, and it is the
purpose of the Food Administration
to make the short supply of food first
feed the soldiers and the Allied troops
in Europe, and second, to prevent
privation here at home.
While the people are willing to be
taught, and are willing to do differ
emily and without, it seems a bit un-
necessary to ask the people in in
Vulnerable forms of publicity to do
what is necessary to do-eat differ
emily. Food can be drafted as easily
as men. Supply the men who are
fighting first, and we will eat what is
left Enough is being paid out to pub
licity agents, printers and field agents
to maintain a clerical force sufficient
to handle a nationwide draft of food.
The War Department has estimated
the amount of sugar, meat, flour,
meal and other provisions necessary
for the Army for the year, and the
amount is now available. The store
is now on hands. If the amount
necessary for the Army is first taken
out, we can get along on what is left
surely. If it runs short, we are all
able to cut our diet in two and live
more wisely. Prices can be con-
trolled
The Nation may run short of many
materials, and the result will be ben
efcial rather than detrimental; it
will impress upon the minds of the

pound sterling as the monetary unit
and its division into 1000 parts, or

stitute of Bankers, the Association of

example, the sixpence is represented

In regard to coins of lower denomi-

that they shall consist of 1, 2, 8, 4, s

The American section is real
nice and looks about like the resi-

some OF the others are small and
filthy. 1t is awfully hot there
all the time and the stores are
open to the street and it sure
looks funny to see them without
windows or doors.

account of the heat and even
then 1t is hard to keep anywhere

We started thru the canal on
the morning of the End, and, be-
lieve me, it was some sight. There
are great cement locks that raise
or lower the ship 80 or 40 feet
and a large part of the canal is
5 feet above the sea level.
Part Of the canal is cut out of
mountains OF rock and run thru
places where it would seem i'm
possible to cut thru.
Gatun lake forms the central
part of the canal and is very pref
ty. All around the country there
are banana, cOcoanut and palm
trees and such kinds we had new
er seen. We got thru the canal
about 5 in the afternoon and
headed north in the Atlantic
ocean.
