PUBLIC BUYING
WINTER COAL
Fine Response to Pleas, Fuel
Administration Announces

The public has responded in graft
flying manner to the plea to buy coal
early, according to members of the
state board Of railroad commissions
ers, acting as fuel administrators.
Following the public statement by
Governor Nestos urging citizens 70
purchase at least part Of their win
ter's supply of Ignite Immediately
and other publicity, Ignite mines
have received orders which has made
it possible for them to run steadily
and to make possible an increase
in their output during the late fall
and winter to help meet the coal
shortage.
The advice to buy coal early still
holds good, according to commission
members. With the increasing diff
culties Of car shortage the citizen
who has coal in his bin is held to
be luck. One Ignite mine reported
that it is working at only 60 per-
cent capacity because of lack of cars.
Railroad officials advised that be-
cause of the heavy demand for cars
for potato shipping in the Minot dis
trict the car supply was necessarily
diverted temporarily from the lig-
mite company's mine.
