ARE YOU READY TO DO YOUR 8 Forty thousand loyal ‘'workers in the Ninth Federal Reserve 20 district are in/the first line tre‘nche‘&a'waiting the order to over the top” fomorrow. S g © In a greaat many counties all citizens have been notified when andwhexe to report and sitbscribe. Nearly a million men and ‘women will: walk up to these Liberty Loan counters next Saturday 8 oluntarily buy the amount of bonds allotted to them. Ay Y s i This is democracy’s greatest opportunity. If the_ Ninth district does what is' predicted, it will have done something never before even attempted by any other pevple in the world’s history. TR : e " Tt has not been considered wise to put into effect the “pay at the countexf plan” in every county. In these other counties solicitors will ‘give every individual a chance to subsc: allotted amount. | s ¢ In whatever way local committees have deemed it wise to arrange the campaigns, the results to be attained will be the gsafe, namely: iy . ) Subscription of alloted amount by the greatest possible number of subscribers within the shortest possible time. The people of these six states realize the great responsi- bility resting upon them. Itis a responsibility-that belongs to each and every individual. No one can s}girk if the Ninth dis- trict’s record for ready response is to be maintained: Other districts in the United States would like to take the Ninth’s laurels. Supreme efforts will be made in other parts of the country. These efforts cannot be successful if each indi- vidual in the Ninth district does his duty. : § 2 x EXPLAINING THE COAL SITUATION. e 'S “The prohlem was to get out all the coal the railroads could carry, and o apportion that ‘coal fairly and at a reasonable price. “Today the limiting factor in production is still transpor- tation. The fuel administration has with few delays filled the biggest stream of coal cars the raiiroads can halu to the mills. The miners are getting out enough more coal per man to _make up for the mex lost to the army and other alluring occupations.” Fuel AdministratoriGarfield, in a current Collier's Weekly. “Of late cars have been supplied to the coal mines more rapidly than they have been able to foad them. % . % .. * 'I‘he country has been led to believe that coal production is limited entirely by transportation, and that any shortage is due to the railroads. This is erroneous. The maintenance of an adequate coal supply depends, in the first instance, upon production, which, in turn, is restricted,"in the first instance, by shortage of labor and.other causes aside from transportation.—Director General McAdoo, in his report to the president, made public.” ! “From all of which we observe that no one wants to take “the blame for a coal shortage. If things go wrong this winter, the alibis will have been prepared in advance, It may occur to the average man, however, that the diverse statements quoted above hardly give evidence of a great degree of harmony be- tween the fuel administration and the railroad administration.” -——~Chicago Tribune, R ‘ g ; e e ADMINISTRATION CONCEDES GRAFT. The administration’ at Washington is proceeding for the court martial of officers and the indictment of others connected with grafts or attempted grafts in government contracts. The * gpecific charge now is that unconscionable fees were charged in + the securing of contracts, and the amount of the fees added to the consideration in the contract. ‘When the Republican press complained of large expenditures and inadequate results, there was a cry of “‘petty criticism,” “carping criticism,” and “parti- sanship.” For a Republican editor to intimate that the nation was not getting wesults commensurate with the expenditures, was near treason. Now that the administration has officially | declzared its own opinion on the subject of graft, the people of the country should acknowledge their obligation to those news- + papers that uttered a courageous protest against extravagance and inefficiency. i T BY ALL MEANS KEEP ’EM SAFE. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo has instructed heads of bureaus throughout the country to ask deferred draft classi- fication for bureau emploves, says a dispatch from Washington. Thousands will be affected. ‘Suppose they are more valuabls to the nation than the 2,000,000 red blooded Americans who are “over there” doing the scrapping and thousands more in training to offer themselves on.the crimson battle lines. B By the end of the war will soldier and ciyilian alike have forgotten what a glass of beer looks like? Or will they still| be able to recognize one when they see it? o “Do your Christmas shopping early” is an old, old friend. 1t has always made its appearance the week following Thanks- giving, and nothing could be more unexpected than to find it greeting us early in_.September.

DAYLIGHT SAVING TO END OCTOBER 27 Chicago, Sepf. 27.—When the na- tion yawns and takes an extra hour’s sleep on October 27, the date set for ending the daylight-saving season, there is grave danger of causing a great waste in the clock-making in- dustry. \These must be no turning back the hands of the ¢lock, time-record- ing. experts declare in a warning to the public. Such action would fairly shatter the morale of the time record- ing and master clocks and all clocks striking the hours, and would require the services of an army of repair men, thus causing an an unnecessary waste of man power. “Purn the hand around eleven hours,” is ‘the advice. By turning the hands forward until the time in- dicated is one hour less than at the start of. the change the same result as stopping will be had.” Botanical Divisions. A teacher in a Woodland avenue gchool asked the other day: “How.' many kinds of flowers are there?’ Three pupils held up their hands.
