COAL SHORTAGE
RELIEF IS SEEN

WASHINGTON Reports to the
National Coal Association said that
during the first three days of last
week the average daily quota Of
1000 cars loaded at the mines serv-
ing the Great Lakes movement was
exceeded with a total Of 12,430 cars
for the three days. shipments from
the mines Thursday and Friday" the
statement added, indicated that the
full quota Of $4,000 cars for the week
might be reached"
Every indication points to the ef-
fective operation Of the new pro-
gram recently put under way by
the bituminOus coal operators and
the railway executives TO overcome
the acute soft coal shortage in the
Northwest and New England as well
as the rest Of the country" the state.
ment continues.
1.-THE experience of the last two
weeks shows that close cooperation
of all the interests involved, under
the comprehensive coal priority plan
is all that is needed to put an enc
to the emergency through which thu
nation has passed the last five
months.
"The movement of coal to relieve
the acute situation in New England
has advanced to a point where ampl'
coal is being dumped at tidewatel
ports and shipped all-rail, to NEE
New England's requirements.
Although the flow Of coal from
the bituminous mines to the Grea
Lakes in the last two weeks has
been below the requirement, there
has been such an improvement a
to impel those handling the situation
to believe that the shortage in tn
Northwest will be overcome befor
the close Of lake navigation in No
vember."

gifts that young Americans are send

Through me Junior Red Cross the

They are sending dozens of young
Syrians, Montenegrins, and Albanlans
to American colleges In Constantinople

q hundred orphans Of French soldiers
at colleges and trade schools. In or
phanages and farm schools up and
down the peninsula Of Italy there are
nearly 500 wards Of American Juniors.
Last winter a thousand French chill

Junior Red Cross to spend the cold
months In warmer parts Of France.
At the same time Ave thousand little
Belgians were having hot lunch every

AMERICAN RED CROSS
TO GIVE RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit In Il very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all of the
A000 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections In their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose of Rural Serv-
Ice is to assist people to get out Of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress Of
both children and adults play q big
part.
Recreation is found to be one Of the
biggest needs In rufal life. There Ia
lack Of sufficisnt play-llfe for the chill
dren and social life for the adulta.
Picnics, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people Of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance Of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
stage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
Of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
ACTION.
As result Of community organiza-
tiOn, townships In which there had
been neither plans nor interest in
community progress have been organ
ized to work together with the unified
purpose of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as result
Of community meetings, as well as cir
cplating libraries, Red Cross schools Of
instruction In Home Nursing, Care Of
the Sick and First Aid. In the larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
lie comfort stations Is being met. Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreational activities
worked out for the year.

THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY

On last Friday a few citizens Of
Sullivan, Union county, were in our
city agitating the question as to the
location of the Federal Highway, the
crossing Of Tradewater, etc. 1t has
been our information that former
Commissioner Rodman Wiley settled
this question more than a year ago,
and why some few of our citizens
will listen and continue to assist a
few disgruntal citizens of another
county to rob the citizens and tax
payers of our own county Of the pros
pect of road that rightly belongs
to them is somewhat a mystery.
On the l8 day Of June 1918, every
man who voted for the $150,O00 road
bond did it with the specific under
standing that the road should cross
Tradewater at or near the mouth of
Cypress. Every man who signed
pledges to donate money to augment
this sum for road purposes signed
paper that was explicit in stating
that the road should cross Trade
water at this point. The letter sent
out by the campaign chairman to
every voter in the county stated the
same. A resolution unanimously
adopted by the Fiscal court, published
and put before all the people of the
county designated Cypress for cros-
sing. Rodman Wiley, former Com.
missioner designated this crossing
How the Perry Ferry crossing has
been revived is little bit mysterious
