wake up" Mr.. Dargan declared.

PETTY THIEVES BECOME
ACTIVE IN COUNTY

Chicken thieves are reported
active throughout the county at
the present time. J. H. t. 81
Baker, merchant of the east end
of Clintwood, reports that he has
heard pilferers around his chick
en- house on some several differ
ent occasions of late and that a
good number of his fowls are
missing. Once or twice he has
been able to get out in time to
empty his long 40-some-odd in
the general direction Of the rob-
bers, but this did not save his
chickens.
One morning last week he
went out to feed his hens and
found picture, that of a Negro
woman, lying near the door of
the chicken house, dropped there
by some prowler. 1t is the opin-
ion of Mr.. Baker that since meat
has become scarce article in
the stores, some of the colored
population of nearby mining
camps have taken to travelling Of
nights in order to secure meat,
and that some of these gentle
men dropped the picture on his
premises while looking his flock
over.
From Pound River comes the.
report that about six men-not
olored-raided the hen roost of
Mrs. Mary Vanovre, widow,
one night recently and that prac
tically every fowl she had was
carried away.

Gas Rationing
Starts Dec. 1st

Dickinson county car owners
are registering this week for the
gas ration, which will start OH
Dec. l. Teachers of the four coun
ty high schools were in charge
and issued the ration books to
car. owners, each book calling for
four gallons of gas per week.
If the occupations of owners Of
private cars call for more gas
than allowed, the owner must
file an application with the ra-
ton board for a supplementary
amount. These blanks can be
had at the high schools, gas sta
tons or at the office of the ra-
ton board.
Truck owners may register at
the office of the ration board at
any time, but if they do not have
ration cards on Dec. l they will
not be able to get gas. Each
truck owner must have certifi-
cate of war necessity before he
can apply for a ration card.
These certificates are obtained
through the County War Board,

The
Home Front

+ Starting Nov. 20, the I'm
tied States, the worlds greatest
coffee drinking country, will Ia
ton its coffee SO that no one Will
receive more than q pound of
the beverage once every five
weeks.
The reason for our going on a
ration basis can be put in one
workshops.
The ships that ply between
here and Brazil, Colombia and
other South American countries
are now freighting ores from the
Guianas to make aluminium for
our planes. Nitrates for gun pow
der and explosives pack t h e
hulls of boats putting out of
Chile. Guatem1lan and other Cen
trail American coffee boats are
now damned with guns, cannons
and shells bound for the shores
of Eengland, Russia, Africa and
wherever our troops and those of
oh IN oIIi-
ton, much Of what coffee is be-
ing transported is going to our
armed forces.
AS a result of the shipping sit
uation. for every four pounds OF
coffe the country was importing
a year ago, we are now only get
ting three pounds. In 1871 i'm
ports of green (unroasted) cof-
fee from South American i'm
ports amounted to % billion lbs
In 1912 that figure will be cut to
II billion pounds. During the
five year period, 1887 thru 1941,
u. S. coffee drinkers consumed
= pound annually. The current
ration would allow 10.4 pounds
annually or just about half the
former consumption rate.
Even under rationing, however
Americans will drink much more
coffee than the people of Euro
pean countries. Germany has
practically no real coffee. It's
population imbibes an ersatZ con
coction of acorns and grains Of
various sorts. The italians a
even worse off. AS for the other
countries under Axis dominc ton
they receive whatever the coffee
starved Reich sees fit to spare.
The plain fact of the situation
is that we are lucky to get what
coffee is being brought up. There
are ships crews risking their
necks to sail it up here. The .
are Marines in the Solomons who
haven't had a cup of coffee in
long time and among them some
who never will again.
