NOTICE.

Reports have been coming to the
officers OF the Civic Club and the Red
Cross that the Rest Room is being
used as club room and loafing
place by number of boys and young
men, especially on Sundays.
The purpose of this room is to pro-
vide comfort station and waiting
room for women and children. It's
use or misuse by others lessons the
service of the room and must cease.
This does not apply to men caring
for children and waiting for their
wives.
AS headquarters for the Red Cross
as well as the original purpose for
which it was started, the Rest Room
has proved a great convenience to
people from town and country and
the Civic Club ladies will greatly ap-
preciate the cooperation of all in
maintaining it. Committee.

To the People of Winneshiek Co.

Even though the coal strike has
been settled, and restrictions to
great extent have been lifted in the
way of coal conservation, still for
all that, it is absolutely essential
that all users of coal and wood, for
that matter, continue TO conserve
fuel as much as possible.
At the best, coal will not come
very fast, as it takes sometime to
get it out of the mines, and again
it takes a good long time in severe
cold weather to haul coal to the
Western country.
This country is hundreds of thou
sands tons of coal short, as there
has been no coal to speak of mined
for forty days, nor are the mines
being worked now to full capacity.
1t is not the intention of our com
mittee to alarm anyone, but it is up
to us to conserve fuel long enough
until We are assured that there will
be coal enough delivered to pull us
through the entire winter.

Something Warmer Than Coal.

Fred Nagel of Waukon was
popular man last Thursday and his
callers were numerous. Some called
to talk over the coal situation, while
others didn't seem to have any par
ticular business, just wanted to ask
how he was feeling and to congratu-
late him on his lucky find. On COM
ing to the bottom of one of the coal
bins that day half gallon jug rolled
out about three quarters full of fine
old bourbon. OF course, as to its
quality, we only speak from hearsay.
The idea is that some one secreted
it there when there was hardly any
coal in the bin, and when he came to
get it found that car load Of coal
had been dumped on top of it. Only
one who has gone through such a
narrowing experience can imagine
the losers feelings.-Waukon Journ-
