Coke and Wood.

The burning of coke. is one relief OF
fered, that and wood. Wood was de-
siyered to one home YESTERDAY pa
which tbe woman said that they had
been keeping warm by burning the
SHINGLES off of the shed. The driver
Of the wagon looked up and saw that
''the shingles on the shed had all been
used up.
One of the local coal men gives the
following suggestion for wiring coke:
Build the fire in the usual way.
After it is well lighted. regulate the
draft to alb Jut one-half. Keep the
frebox well flied, as better and more
economical results can be obtained
with a large body of coke with re-
lduced draft than a smaller body with
greater draft In severe weather
force the fire as much as you WISH ov
Iopening the, drafts more. Remember
lfhat Inv wetting down the coke in me
bin before using, it gives a steady fire
and lasts longer.

chase any fuel. People who have a
big supply on hand are always the

warned not to ask for fuel until they
are down to within weeks supply.
There is danger that schools may

have to act in the matter Of business

Iiousness of the situation was manifest
in the discussion
There are ten cars OF coal an dcoke
ION the way between Keokuk and the

The fuel situation in Keokuk
reached a crisis today. With
practically no coal in sight for

loads to depend upon to take
care Of urgent demands, the
! fuel administration in conjunc-
| tion with the coal dealers in a
meeting this afternoon placed
| fuel embargoes on all non-es-
sential places.
! The embargoes placed by the com
mission include all classes OF what are
,.considered non-essential elements.
The coal dealers are ordered not to
.sel a pound of any kind Of fuel to
these places. II they nave fuel they
can run until it is gone, but until the
Asituation clears up they cannot Pur-
Ichase fuel of any kind.

idea of every one to keep the factories

supply is not inexhaustible and it will

KERENsKY ATTACKS BRITISH.

A statement in leading newspaper
of London by Alexander F. Kerensky
former premier and Dictator OF
Russia. indicates that a changed view
has come to the late storm center
of Russian politicE, perhaps because
he has encountered facts which have
cleared UP in his mind what should
have been plain enough when he
was in a position of authority.
The high spot in his statement is
that the three leaders OF govern
ments" in Russia olchak, Denitine
and Yudenitch--are closely surround
ed and manipulated by all the
'scoundrels of the old Romanoff re-
zine" and that wherever they have
had opportunity. their conduct has
been worse than that of the Bolshe-
visits. The lesser charge in his denun-
citation Is that England has been di-
fectly and actively in support of these
men, a fact which he thinks should
bring the blush of shame to British
cheeks. The reign of terror instituted
by Kolchak. Denikine and Yudeniteh,
Kerensky considers the one explana-
ton OF the failure OF their enterprises
TO overthrow the Bolshevists. SIS

DAWSON COAL BRINGS BUSINESS.

For two weeks past the ElH Paso
and Southwestern railroad line has
been taxed to the utmost to haul
freight diverted from the Oregon
Short line and other Union Pacific
roads because of coal shortage in the
territory of the latter. The New
Mexico road has been able to give
the service because the Dawson coal
mines are producing. and the South
em Pacific coast connection operates
with oil The freight consists of fruit
and general merchandise to and from
California and Oregon.
But for the firm attitude about
New Mexico coal mining. of the fed
eraldand state government, the coast
produce. would probably have been
tied up. causing much loss and higher
prices for, fruit and other foods.
