Mountaineer-Courier : I am glad to say that movements you will always find TiV0 1y Vnat "ree or aiscussion s one ready to dampen the ardor of us North Carolina boys have not wiy proposed method of sell wood for cash only and at a reasonable price. The following letter of Oct 2nd has. been received from A. W, McAlister. U. S. Fuel Adminis trator for North Carolina, whose headquarters are in Greensboro "Without desiring to unduly alarm, the State Fuel Adminis tration is thoroughly satisfied, irom the number ot urgent ap peals for coal that are being re ceived daily from various sec. tions of the state, and in view of the continued uncertainty as to the adequate supply and distn bution of coal, with all the assis tance that the U. S. Fuel Admin istration can give, that there is going to be serious suffering for want of fuel, unlesss the various cities and towns-in North Caro lina take seriously and without delay the suggestion that wood be substituted for coal just as far as it is possible to do so. I do not mean to make the im. pression that it is going to be necessary to substitute wood for coal entirely, but I do mean to say that the surest and most practical way for us here in North Carolina, where wood is abundant, to safeguard ourselves against suffering from cold, is for every individual, institution and community to immediately take the trouble to provide for the use of wood as a substitute for coal as far as it is possible to ioit. This is no time for argument or discussion as to whether or Saturday night. If you can't pay cash you can buy on easy payments. Every home should own at least one Liberty bond.

BUYS LIBERTY BONDS ' of those who stand ready to do tneir duty, in our own midst the report has gone out that the registration of women move1 ment is a suffragette plan. This is absolutely unftAue. Women in all walks of life, political, so cial, economic, religions of what ever creed are loyally respond ing to the request of the govern- succeeded in getting higher up in the army.

The war may not last long enough to render necessary the call for women to enter, man s occupations extensively as has been the case abroad. " . Women should reahze on re flection that it is not a theory, but a condition that exists. The war we are engaged in will af fect them and their families in exactly the same way that it will affect other women and oth er families that thoroughly be . lieve in the; justice of this war and its necessity. . " . North Carolina will make a good showing as a state, as will the national inventory of woman power. CIETY. On Oct. 19th the Vance Liter ary Society held its weekly meeting. The as follows was a very interesting one. Programme a little handling wood tends to be so cialistic or otherwise for we have a serious condition, and not a theory to deal with. The State Administration is using all of its influence and effort to secure through the U. S. Fuel Adminis tration North Carolina's pro rata of coal, and we believe .the U. S. Fuel Administration is doing ev erything in its power to this end. In the meantime, let everybody go to work definitely and imme diately to provide for the use of and a supply of wood. If this is done, there is .not going to be serious suffering or inconven ience in North Carolina this win ter If it is not done, the State Fuel Administration will not answer for the consequences. If wood; can be had in sufficient quantities and at a reasonable price through the dealers, by all means let it be supplied that reuglar way; but if it cannot be had in program sumcient quantities ana at a rea sonable price in this way, we urge you to endeavor' to induce your municipal- authorities to use their equipment and re- Colonel W. T. Gentry, Presi dent of the Southern Bell Tel ephone . & Telegraph Company and the Cumberland Telephone & Telegraph Company, announce that the Bell system comprising the American Telephone ana Telegraph Company and asso ciate companieshas subscribed for $5,000,000 of the Second Lib erty Loan Bonds on behalf of themselves and the employees. having purchased $5,000,000 of the first Liberty loan. The subscription of the South ern group, of which Colonel Gentry is president, amounts to $350,000, of this the Southern Bell Company and its employees subscribe $165,000 and the Cum berland Company and its em ployees $185,000. It is stated that the subscrip tions are to be allotted to the ederal Reserve districts in which the companies operate in proportion to the Quotas assiflm- ed by the Treasury Department to the Federal Reserve districts, so that each disijrict will get credit for it proportionate share of the subscriptions. All of the Bell Companies have arranged to advance the necessary funds on liberal terms to their employees who wish to subscribe to the Second Liberty Loan. It is believed that a large number of Bell employeeswill make individual subscriptions and that this plan will enable many to buy bonds who other wise could not participate in.the loan. I.
