COAL SHORTAGE
CAUSE OF WORRY
Question Now Where Small Con-
sumer is Going to Get His
Winters Supply of
Coal.
WOOD AS SUBSTITUTE
ALSO HARD TO GET
Concerns Selling Patent Oil Heaters
And Gas Heating Appliances
Receiving Many Calls.

Des Moines, Iowa-The question as
to where the small consumer, the
householder who burns from ten to
twenty tons of coal each winter, is
going to get his fuel supply for the
coming winter is now looming as one
of the biggest aspects of the present
coal strike, according to those in
touch with the situation.
AT the present time all the efforts
of the state and national fuel admin
istration are being exerted toward
getting an adequate supply of coal to
keep the public utilities and munich
pal light and power plants from clos
ing down completely. The needs OF
the small consumer have not yet been
officially considered.
eve are barely able to keep the
industries going,' stated Fuel Ad-
ministrator Charles Webster yester-
day, "there is no coal for the house
holder"
Even if the production of coal is
resumed in the next fifteen days, it
will take sixty days for the miners
to get a maximum production of coal
into the cars, E. c. Smith, president
of the Iowa operators has announced.
This may result in many of the small
consumers being unable to get fuel
supply before the cold weather be-
gins in earnest.
Another possibility which threat
ems to keep the residence furnaces
from coal is the rail strike, which
may SO diminish the railroad power
that even when the coal is mined
there will not be enough motive
power to move it. Wood has been
mentioned as substitute for coal as
the winters fuel, but careful sur
vey of the state made by farm bur-
eau directors shows that the supply
will be r:diculously small in proper
ton to the demand.
Cutting wood for furnace use is a
hard task, and one that is not pro-
vocative of the best results" stated
Don Merrill, farm bureau director for
Polk county. "There is little good
fuel wood on the Iowa farms. Many
counties have not enough wood to
supply even the farmers themselves
Most of the wood available would be
green stuff, of poor use for heating
purposes"
Householders who have one or two
tons of coal left over from last win
ter will probably be able to hold out
until plenty of the commodity Is
available on the market, according to
Fuel Administrator Webster.
Concerns selling patent oil heaters
and gas heating appliances are re-
ceiv;ng many calls for estimates tol
turning the furnace heating systems
in many homes into oil and gas sys-
TENS, according to reports.
The experts figures that if the
strike is settled by Sept. /, the do
mestic consumers will be able to gel
coal in small quantities by Nov. j.
stated E. C. Smith, president of the
Iowa operators.
Householders of Iowa are praying
for a mild winter.

This being the 25th anniversary of
our society, short history OF It's
work and achievements as considered

VOTERS OF IOWA
TOPASS ONBONUS
twenty two Million Dollars in Cash
VIII Be Paid Citizens of Iowa
If the Bill is Approved
By The Voters at
the General
Election.
STRONG BONUS SENTIMENT
PREVAILS IN STATE
Every Person Who Saw Service Will
Receive Pay at the Rate of so
Cents for Every Day of
Service.

Des Mo.nes, Iowa-Twenty-two
million dollars in cash will be paid
to the citizens Of Iowa who fought
in the world war, if the bonus act,
passed by the thirty-ninth general
court of the county in which the ap-
phcant resides, on special forms pro-
v.ded by the adjutant general, such
applications to be filed not later than
Dec. 81, 1924. A penalty of $500 fine
and one years imprisonment is fixed
for those who make false statements
regarding their service, besides the
penalty of forfeiting all benefits of
the act.
Under the terms of the act
bonus board" consisting of the state
auditor, the state treasurer, the adj
Jutant general, and the adjutant gen.
eral of the Iowa department Of the
American Legion, is provided, whose
duty it shall be to examine the ap-
plications and approve or disapprove
them. Approved applications are SUBJ
mitteed to the state auditor, who will
issue warrant in payment of the
bonus claim.
After the payment Of all the ap-
assembly is approved by the voters
of the state at the general election
this fall.
BY Ehe terms Of the bonus law,
evei. \ person who saw s--si~o ---scar'., ar (.
=. ''-- -
IN So were members of the
Student Army Training Corps at the
colleges, will receive pay at the rate
of so cents day for every day of
service, the total individual bonus not
to exceed $3.50.
Since strong bonus sentiment has
been prevalent in the state ever since
the close of the war, i. Is not thought
that any possibility exists of the act
being turned down by the voters this
fall. Numerous organizations includ-
ing both the republicans and demo-
cratic parties, chambers Of commerce,
farmers organizations, and the State
Bankers Association have gone on
record as favoring the bill.
The provisions of the law, state
that application for the bonus shall
be filed with the clerk of the district
proved claims if any funds remain
in the hands of the bonus board, not
in excess of $2,00O,oOO, this sum
will be used in paying the debt ae-
quired by the bonus bill.
To provide for the payment of the
bonds issued to obtain money for the
bonus a direct annual tax sufficient
to raise S1,100,000 each year for
twenty years, will be levied on all
taxable property in the state.
The act also provides that the hus-
band or wife, child or children,
mother, father, sisters, or brothers,
in the order named, and none other,
shall receive the bonus due to any
person who died while in service, or
who has died since the close of the
war.

But the leaves had been burned up.
There was no more smoke. The pic

Al Santa Claus saw Them


TACK and Janet looked eagerly at
y Happy Hands. the Indian maker OF
toys. rs lie picked up another handful
Of faded lcaves-messages to Santa
Claus. =.
"I wonder if the leaves will tell
Santa Claus anything about u.s.,
whispered Janet to Jack. The OLD
Indian smiled. His keen ears heard
tho question though it had been spoken
softly. lie threw the leaves into the
fireplace and once more pointed at the
smoke. ,.,
Jack and Janet gave a little cry In
which Joy and dread were mixed. Ihey
saw themselves in the smoke moving
nictures. Would the pictures show
them worthy Of gifts from Santa Claus
or as unworthy as prim Polly Prue
had been? -. 60,
Jack was shown helping his father
rake up the yard. Janet saw herself
helpinp her mother make the beds. Jack
appeared feeding the chickens. Janet
was clearing the table after luncheon.
Jack wandered down to the lake with
out permission and stayed until long
nfter dark watching the fishermen pack
their fish In ice. His father aud mother
at home worried and worried. Janet
after going to bed at night crept out
again and sat on the stairs listening
to company talking in the living room
below. She caught cold and was sick
in bed for two days.
Jack and Janet kept one eye on the
crystal globe which showed them Santa
Claus looking ut the pictures. Santa
Claus smiled when he saw them helping
ut home. lie got out Il set Of tools
and began to mark them with Jack 8

ed for Christmas. He opened Il drawer
and took from it Il beautiful talking
doll and tiny trunk loaded with

Janet wanted for Christmas.

RICHMOND, Va, June s.-An
injunction granted by Federal
Judge McClintic of West Virgin
it, in behalf of the Borderland
Coal Co., and other against the
United Mine Workers of America,
restraining officers and members
of the union from interfering with
the coal companies employees and
property, was modified in an opin-
ion handed down here today by
the United States Circuit Court of
appeals. and the case sent back to
the West Virginia courts on its
merits.
The opinion which was signed by
Judges Martin A. Knapp, c. A.
Wood and Edmund Waddill, Jr.,
modified the temporary injunction
substantially the same as that is
sued by Judge McClintic insofar as
it provides that officials and en-
pIoyes of the coal company or with
men seeking employment at their
places of business, or from lnjur-
ing or destroying the properties of
the coal companies.
