It is absolutely necessary that do mestic consumers of coal pat in their supply during the summer months. By doing so consumers will help the Government, assit the railroads, and at the flame time, provide themselves with con?. They will he!n the Om*em murt hy mak'njt it unnecessary to as sist with their supply neat winter when ail the time and effort of the Fuel Administration will he needed in providing coal for war purposes; TJ\,»y will help the transportation com panies bv reducing the number of car" to be handled during a period when it in mo-t difficult to handle same. There no other wny in which the domestic mer», in <o far a.« the coal aitua M- n com-J-ned, can as effectually a* i I he Covernment in the suc fu! pr< ^vye ■:* Ion of the wr»r. nrr< at he same time provide themselves . .h fur!, tkSrt by f.blainin^ their r< rmal season's requirements during 'imn»r month*. lf it is n»ve>s:iry to enlarge the bin* so i. 10 accomodate a normal years supply, this should be done. If the dealer is not willing to carry the ac count srrang«mer»»«houUi be made to handle the matter by making monthly payments. If this is not done there will be a shortage during the coining winter, due to the large increased demands for war purposes and the inability of the transportation companies to ha::dle the enormous quantity of freisrht nece- «ary for war and other purposes. I also desire to urge the great ne cca. ity for each consumer to limit his rv , lirements to less than normal needs. There is great need for e*ery ton and even pound saved provides that mi-ch additional cool for war re quirements, not only for our Govern ment but for the All c». I would also request and urge the substitution and use. to the fullest ex tent possible, of wood for coal by all consumer*. Therefore, the message I want you to take back to the people in your sev eral communities is to place orders for the quantity of real recessary for their year* supply as early as possible and to exercise the strictest 1 rennotuy in its use. ' D0B90N COURT. (CeaUauW from Pay Tw*.) m hu still awi make all things ready for huainees. Ijriw they wmt to hu piaat and Mitad untd ha walked up ami allowed hunaeif to gmt trapped so wail that thara waa no question to I ha court about hu guilt. What may bo an unfortunata port I if thu tory u (ha port that Jake Mormon is play < ng la it. Jako ia a brother-III-low to Mr. .Martin and it is hard for him to explain to the court about the part He has played. Ae tile oiflcers relate the story, on the mom in* that they vraited at the Ktlll Mr. Mart in and Mr. Norraan vailed down the hill to the xtilt place ejuh carrying a ptar.k on his shoulder. Now the art of aiding in any way is a violation of the law, and the Judge wart" to km;w why Mr. Norman was carrying that plank that morning to 'he till plare. If Mr. Normun could make n *ati»factr>ry explanation h> would go fret;, for he has not before Iwen charged with In >ng interested in t 'ling. Am it is the Judge is at a loss to l:now just what to do with tH' •are. Noirrao m*jts 'hat he went along with Martin 'hat morning, and when 'hey rear'ied a pr.int on the hill near where :He tiil >vnr they cmne to wm« plank, and Martin picked up one and lukad h'tn to also biing along one. Now Norman told 'he Judge 'iliat at the time he picked uu the plank he did not kui.w what Martin wax tuning' to do with it, but carried it along lie cause Martin m:Hr the if 'lest. If the Judge makes tip his mind thai Norman "arri"d tha' nlank knowing thaf it was to lie used in some way in making that liquor he will no! goj free. The supposition is tha. the olank ».i. fr be used for .shelter or •omething about the stilling. This .»». i. jk uu) jaso was led open for the time, anil ci'izenr. who know 'he farts think that Norman is the unfortunate! ore in tile case, foi he u believed to tie innocent of any connection with the bus.ness of manufacturing liquor. A case that attracted quit* a bit of attention about Dobson was that of a hunch of citizens charged with gam bling. On Monday mght, the first ...j . toe uurt, a donen citizens of uoi>Mon i.nu ueai L»y neignnornouu*. most of them farmers and young men, gathered about a fire in the woods a half mile oast of Dfibson. T>»ey had a battle of i quor and a deck or cards and formed a ring about the fire and played a h'um« irom early ui-lhe night( until well along in the ;mall hours of the morning. Some one told the town policeman about the "sociable" being auUed off down in the bru*h, and he went down along with anoth-> er officer and looked on from a snfe distance. They satisfied themselves that the boys had liquor and cards and were playing for money. They then wt»nf back to town and got three other officers who came and saw and were, too, atistfed that the stunt be ing enacted before their eyes was not exactly in accordance with the statute made and provided in such, cfcSM. And so after waiting for a tune they flushed the game from four sides and made a complete round-up of the whole push. One fellow was quick in thought as well as action and> fell to the ground when the officers charged and was dead asleep with his hat over his eyes, "to keep the flies' away." a; the Solicitor expressed it. Two or three broke to run but got caught. They let the case go to the jury and got convicted* that is moat, of thera. Four were sentenced to the roads for terms of two to six months, j and the others are in jail to await the decision of the Judge who is puzzled to know what to do with their cases because of the women and children who are to be supported bv somebody Tt developed that many of these men are known to be in the habit of playing can!*, and some for retailing. T^e criminal docket is not complet ed c,t this time, Thursday, and the en tire week will be consumed and yet the civil docket will hardly be touch el There a~c several hundred cases on the civil docket. 1 j Miss F.«'rnice Horr.aday entertained the members of her Sunday .school class and a few friends Saturday evening at the home of Or. and Mr*.
