committees in charge of the sale will make an active can

Not only will it be the purpose of the selling commit

PROVIDE FUEL NOW.
The warning note eounded by Fuel Administrator
Reuse in Friday' Free Press should be heeded toy the
people of this community. Mr. Rouse urges that those,
who are in pwition to do eo, provide their fuel now while
the open weather permits the easy hauling and the de
mands of those who are not in position to buy large
BunpliM at a time are not so acute.
From everywhere come reports of fuel shortage.
Irnr.porttlon facilities are hard to obtain. No ship
ment daiivery date can be" guaranteed. This, of course,
has and will continue to be a handicap in the coal supply
throughout the winter. Kinston should not suffer, how
ever, if the opportunities for providing wood which are
vailcbln and which can be made available be taken ad
vantage of. It behooves every citizen to take ad
vice of the Fuel Administrator and look to hia wood yard
and coal bin in anticipation of their needs for the next
three or four months.
In thii conrection it might not be amiss to suggest
tnat the estimates be conservative that no hoarding and
consequent inconvenienco to others be indulged in.

It is said that 4,000,000 pounds of potatoes are tied up
