To Our Cu^omers
Kor reasons, which really, there is no need to go inti>,
but which wc will tell you the i >,.» ■, we are com
pelled to ask every one ordering • 'ill to arrange to leave
cash at the house as we must j el> insist upon the
driver bringing back settlerr< nt * the I) i in each ca.se,
when order is tilled.
We all know that when ■ inv- ' Hv<-r!i are paid for
and some are not that it leaves ;i ! t> ho!<- for the driver
to spend the money and tell u.< !i«t you di<l not pay.
YV'hen it is cfa..iii every time he i ,i do tl • without hav
ing the amount of the bill charge ' t > hin .
The main reason though that I 'arte-.! to tell you is
the fart that the coal shippers nr»- as independent as can
be and only ship coal nowada\ • >>n a bunk's certified
check of C. O. I), bill lading attached to draft, which the
buyer has to take up and pay for b fnr> ' an even pay
the freight on the coal.
If you do not wish to buy from us on cash basis, we are
sorry, but is something we came ■ ' • • 1»> ar ' we trust that
no one will ask us to extend cred't as v. can only say
no to such requests.

Kanrn Women to Do Work

Topeka. Kan. Kansas club women, i
. at the annual meeting of the Fed-;
«ration of Women'■ Club* at Salina. t
voteil unanimously for themselves and
'heir daughter* to go to the farm.i of
Kansas til■ - ummer and help win the
war by aiding in increasing crop pro
duction. Several hundred women, rap
re anting R00 club* in the State,
pledged themselves to offer their wrv
ices and thi nervice* of the; r daugh
<-r and there of the mcmlier* of
their clubx nnd the daughter* of mem
beri, to the farm women, that addi-;
•tonal time may be provided for the
men to work in the fields during the
-ummer month*.
It ha.-! been e-1 .mated that a farmer
mil.-.t give an hour night and morn-!
ing for the ch<» about an ordinary
farm. This includes milking the cow*,
feeding chicken and pig*. xeaing that
water »■ in tlie tank*, and attending
the farm gi. den. Ordinarily the city
women could not do any of the-e
thii.g* *WT. fully, but the farm
women are accu-tomed to much of the
work and cou.<. easily take it up. The
r i hi mi . i w rm:n it mat tn«r

find take over the houehnld duties.
They are experienced, in hou~.ekeepinff
»nti cooking, n .ii with a little practice
in providi"" ' *1 for farm worker*
would *• 'hurouifhly rapable of
handling -.1 ordinary home work.
The women of *■ farm* could then
milk the cows and do all the chore*
that the men usually do.
In thi* way at leu<t two hours a
day w uld be *aved for the men for
the actual work in the field. Two;
hour* a day m«nns another day added 1
to every week for cultivation and har- j
vesting the crops. During the rush

tant work in the handling of crop*
could be accomplished in that day.

paration for war haa ilona much to ra
mova any null impraaaion and now
only tha donaaly ignorant or tha ob
structionist and agitator from rhoica
indulga in any iurh mouthing. The
aoloctiva draft haa. workad amnothly
and indiacnmjnating nrtpt, pwnbl),
in a few laolatml • *»**. The rich
man'* Don and lha poor man'i *on; (ha
fanner boy and the city rlerk are
found in tha training ramp* sharing
tha iiim comfor'a or din'on)fori*; tha
nam* food and 'ha ■•mi raiment. Tha
ona ha* been brought down to the
laval of tha other; or one brought up
to tha *tandard of tha other, accord

no claa*; there i* no diatinction. One
ia a* patriotic aa the other and when
thay get "over there" they will fight
*houlder to ahouldes a* brother with
brother for tha defence of tho*« of u*
left hare.
Referring to thU queation of fight
ing and paying the war levy the l.'ni
ver*ity New* fitter recently pre ant
ed *ome interesting facta and figure*
which tho*e in modeat circum tanee*
who feel that they are doing more
than their share of fighting or paying
or both, *hould read. The writer call*
it "The Rich Man's War Tax." "The
war tuxe* on incom<-- paid by 30 of
our riche-t penple thi* year," <ayn,
"will be nearly 1120.000,000." The*e
figures, it ia >tafed, are taken from the
Financial World. which how that
oue-foarlh of the total federal war
tax will fall on New York city al'.ne,
a total a;;gregatni< H00 000,000.
Continuing the New* letter say :
"The income ta* of John D. Rock
feller will he 138,060 000; which is
fHM.OOO a day; Jame* B. Duke'.* war
tax will be $4,300 a day.
"Sixteen men in North Carolina will
pay war fates amounting to more
than $1,000 a day.
"Only >1.000,000 people in the
United State* will pay fe<leral income
taxes this year; 'Jtf.000,000 will pay
nothing in any direct way.
"A clone estimate *hows that fewer
than 20 people in Orange county will
be liable for war t«xea fewer than
20 in a population of 17,000 people.
"If this is a rich man's war then the
ri'-h men are pnyinif for it—in money,
and like the rest of us in men, because
no exemption* are allowed under our
draft law except for physical unfit
ness, for either rich or poor.
"And we have yet to hear of any
rich man whimpering."
ftrpsdlmn . rtarfliOwthanNd-an rc
This is a war in which the rich and
the poor are sharing the burden
equitably as to wealth and equally a*
to man-power. And behind the lines
the women and the children are doing
their part in buying and pushing the
thrift stamp and the liberty bond; in
producing and conserving. They are
the scoond line of defense. Their ■
work is just as important, in a sense,
as the man who pays the war tax andj
the man who shoulders a rifle. This
war is anything but a poor man's;
war or a rich man's war. It is every-1
body's war.

Notice to
Timber Hen
We have orders for 20,000 No. 1. cross ties from
White Oak. Post, and Chestnut oak. standard apeoiftcu
tions of 7"X8"X8 feet and 6 inches long, when a.. ! »nd
7"X7" hewed, same length as sawed.
We also have order for 5,000 No. 2 cross ties, to be
any size under the above sizes, down to 6"X7" and length
to be the same as for No. ones, also to be from above
kinds of oak timber.
Almost all timber haulers already know the speci
fication and we mention this for those who w.ll be getting
out timber this year who have not made ties before.
Also all this timber must be sound, all knots smoothed
off with the tie and all bark peeled off when either sawed
or hewed.
A great many haulers lose their grade by measuring
with their axe handles and we would ask that x<>u cut a
pole exactly eight and one half feet long and make all
ties according to this length, and notch it for 7 inches to
get face and thickness.
At this time we also wish to thank the hundreds of
people who sold their timber to us last year and beg to
assure them of the same fair and courteous treatment for
the coming season.
The price, effective February 1st is 60 cents each for
No. 1 ties and 50 cents for second class.
For Red Oak, Spanish Oak, and all other kinds of
oak (except the above mentioned kinds,) also Hickory
and Ash we will pay 50 cents for No. l'a, and 40 cants for
No. 2's, same specifications as above.
