country in increasing the supply i
and tor the steady, swift distitbii-;
non ol the Nation's fuel as rapidly j
as it can be taken from the ground :
and moved over our overburdened i

"The prices fixed by the Gov
ernment for coal at the mine have
now been established on a stable
loiindation which w ill not be dis
turbed during tlie coming coal j
year, except in cases of cxtraor- !
dinary urgency. These prices
have been adjusted by scientific
and practical investigation b.i-ed
upon uniform cost sheet reports
to insure the greatest possible stim
ulation of production while main
taining a reasonable and equitable
price ' if coal to lie consumer.
"By carefully draw n regnl.iiio.is,
the Fuel Administration has insured
the shipment of 'clean coal' Irom
the mines. Coal containing ail
undue amount of loreign matter
will be penalized in price, and pro
ducers who lake extraordinary
measures in the preparation ol their
coal will be recompensed. These
measures will keep oil the railroads
and out of the bins ol the consum
ers a large amount ot uiiluirnabie
material which w as injuded in last
year's coal production.
"l.very etlort has been made by
the Fuel Administration to so ar
range the distribution of the coai
supply that it will impose the least
possible burden upon the railroads
ot the country. Through the zone
system ol distribution, which be
came ellective April I, the move
incut ol biuiminous coal between
the mme and the producer will be
restricted to the shortest possible
liauspi, nation hues consistent with
the maintenance ol an adeguaie and
proper coal supply to ,iil cotisum

"In arranging these restrictions
tlie Fuel Administration, in many
cases, ha- allotted to consuming

can only till the demand of the con

must buy their int. r supply ot

production is to be maintained at a

to avoid a serious coal shortage
this winter. The Fuel Adminis

communities in an cllon to pi ovule

coal to be set aside during the
spring and summer to meet the
emergencies ol weather and trans

"Hut the great storage capacity
of the country lies in the bins nt
the individual consumer, and there
the country's coal reserve must he
built up during the spring and sum
mer when coal production is un
hindered and the transportation fa
cilities of the country operating at
their highest efficiency.
"As an inducement to 'early
buying' the prices of anthracite coal
have been reduced 30 cents a ton
on all domestic sizes from April I
to August 31, and in many of the
bituminous fields prices have been
cut to nn even greater extent.

DKAFTtD MEN TAKE NOTICE.
I he Civilian Relief Committee
ol the W'eklon Red Cross wishes
to impress upon the newly drafted
men the inipoi tauce of attending
t o certain duties before leaving fur
camp, which will save litem and
their families from unnecessary
w on y and hardship later on, and
in tins connection beg to make the
following suggestion:
1 . No man should leave without
understanding what he should do
in regard to the allotment of his
w ages and what his privileges are
w 'h regard to securing the gov
ernment allowance for his family.
2. livery man should understand
fully the insurance law. It is es
pecially important that single men
should secure this iiisur. n:e, as in
vase of bung permanently incapac
itated for military duty, it will take
care of them for life.
3. livery man ought to know
that he can write to the Red Cross
it he is anxious about his family or
any of his alfairs at home.
4. It is also very important that
men should leave power of attor
ney with some one; that they write
home promptly on arrival at camp;
that they make their w ills; keep in
close touch with their home folks,
and that they acquaint their fami
lies with their official number as
soon as it is assigned to them.
5. The Red Cross should be
used as a means ol communication
between the Government, the men
and their families.
The Committee will take pleas
ure in helping in any way that it
can.
