nevertheless. moderately moist atmos-

ARE YOU HELPING
THE GOVERNMENT
TO CONSERVE COAL ?

Our Government has a tremendous task be-
fore it in supplying food and fuel across the
seas.
Our ships, our railroads. our manufacturing
plants must all have coal to finish the task
we have begun. Coal production in France
cannot be returned to normal for two years, be-
cause of Germany's wanton method Of destruc-
tion.
Fuel is the fundamental basis Of al activi-
ties. The problem of fuel conservation is not
local, not even national; IL is world problem.
We must not make the mistake Of asEumin.
that there is coal in great abundance merely
because our own bin own locality is we'll
supplied.
There must be more eual produced here to
supply the world demand. For several weeks
the miners ranks, already depleted by the
draft, have been further crippled by influenza.
Missouri 10 expected TO 100000 tons Of
coal this YEAR and this can only be accom-
plished by conservation in every household and
every industry.

Federal Fuel Administrator for Missouri.

assisted by Rev. T. NJ. jackson and

to rest in the |. o. o. F. cemetery at
St. Francois.
At the age of ID years she pro-
fessed faith in Christ as her Savior
and united with the Methodist church
and remained true and devout mem
Der until called away by her Maker.
She was not merely a member of the
l,,+ 81
kind of members that the church
needs and one that helped to make
the church's work effective and sue
cessful. Not only was she an active
member of the church but in the Wo-
mans Missionary Society and the W.

stand throughout eternity as Il living
monument to those who are to follow
in this good work
AS a mother, wife and homemakcr,
she will be greatly missed. A more
devoted wife, loving mother or in
dustrious homekeeper has yet to live.
Through clouds and sunshine fc~
more than forty-ore years she had
labored to make the home happy and
pleasant for the one she chose as a
life companion and for the children
given to them. The day was never
too stormy nor the hour too late fo-
her to administer to the needs and
wants of her cherished family.
That she was good neighbor and
kind friend was shown by the multi
tude that gathered about the home to
lend comfort and aid during her hours
Of suffering and by the gathering that
followed her to her last resting place
Nothing pleased her more than to
speak words of kindness to those with
whom she came in contact and to en-
courage the oppressed and downtrod-
den. Her life was full of sunshine and
she never appeared downcast. Her
friends and neighbors were always
greeted with smile and she enjoyed
a joke with them.
Happily it was not her lot to endure
prolonged suffering, for about two
weeks illness ended the career of this
good woman. Everything possible
was done by the physicians who at

.OBJECTOR RISKS
 LIFE TO RESCUE WOUNDED TANKS
By Review Leased Wire,

WASHINGTON, Jan. s. - Though under sentence of death for deserting in the face of the enemy to escape combatant service, Richard L. Stier- hein, a private of the 315th infantry, 18th division, and a conscientious ob- jector, deliberately risked his life to rescue wounded soldiers under fire in the fighting in the Verdun region shortly before the armistice was signed. A review of Private Stier hein's record with a report of~General Pershing disappearing the death sen tence and directing that he be re- turned to duty for combatant service, was made public today by the war de- pertinent.
 Stierhein, according to his testi- mony at court martial, sought to be classed as a conscientious objector when drafted, but his claim was re- fused. After reaching France he de- serted with the intention of making his way to Spain and there being in termed. He was apprehended and sentenced to be shot
 Pending final approval of the sen tence, Stierhein was returned to his company as a prisoner and was held in the rear of his company on No yeniber 3 when the 18th division went into action in the Verdun region. When the wounded began coming in he volunteered as a litter bearer and the record shows that from Novem- Der until the fighting stopped No ven,ber II, he risked his life time and again to save wounded men and to carry water to the-wounded and dying on the battlefield.
 On the night of November 3, the re- port shows, he carried back to safety. unassisted, three wounded comrades through shell and machine gun fire.
