THE losses in business and the as-
tual physical suffering Of people
in many cities recently as direct
result Of the fuel shortage should im-
press deeply upon the minds Of the
average business man and the average
family the advantage Of laying in
fuel supplies in the summer and early
fall. and as far as possible stringing
their purchases out evenly over the
year. There is not much hope Of pre-
venting these fuel famines from re-
curing each year until the consumers
cooperate better with the producers
and distributors Of fuel One Of the
chief troubles Of the miners is that
they work only when there is a de-
mand for coal. In the rush season
when everybody is buying coal, they
have steady work. provided the rail-
roads can furnish sufficient cars. Ere
qucntly they can not furnish the cars,
and both the miners and the consum-
ers are Inconvenience. Al other
times they are idle. But IL consumers
will anticipate their wants in the fuel
line and lay them in in advance. grad
ually If need be, these annual fuel
famines can be averted and prices Of
fuel kept down. Through co-opera-
tive methods consumers can do great
deal to solve the fuel problem. City
people, Of course. are accustomed to
living from hand to mouth and most
Of them buy fuel like they buy other
things, in small quantities and only
when needed. No thought is taken of
the morrow. The farmer, on the other
hand, gets his fuel and other neces-
stiles in advance Of his needs. He re-
plenishes his wood pile when he can
not work in the field. And It is sell
dom that complaints come from the
farmer about fuel famine. He is
very nearly always ready for the win
ter II city people would adopt the
farmers methods Of preparedness we
would not have these annual periods

THE election Of Victor Berger in the

one good purpose. It Is warning to
loyal Americans that sedition can not
be trifled with now any more than
during the war. His election proves
that tho disloyal element is still bent
upon overthrowing democratic govern
ment, and that wherever it can rally
sufficient members II will make Of
hcials Of men who are open enemies
of the country. Berger's election
sounds call to Americans everywhere
to renew efforts to stamp out dis
loyalty and render powerless the
