Battles, county fuel administrator, it is up to the people who are coal users to so ad- just themselves to take care of their fuel needs as best they can, owing to ~4the scarcity of coal. Many placed orders early in the spring and sum- “yner expecting to receive the full 4 amount of their order, but dealers "are powerless to fulfill these orders as they call for. Mr. Battles urges all ‘to -turn to wood and do so as soon as possible, as there is no as- surance of the amount of coal to be receivel in Bemidji. In a letter to Mr. Battles from John F. McGee, fuel administrator, he says, addressing dealers and con- sumers: «Anthracite nut cegl is coming up the lakes in very linfted quanities, and is ordinarily 'sipposed to be (OAL SCARCITY United ‘States Fuel administration, Washington, D.

I am also instructed by the Fuel administration to say that stove size anthracite can be used very suc- cessfully in base burners when mixed with a small portion of buckwheat. By mixing the two sizes in this man- ner the stove size can be made to cover a larger number of consumers.

Meyers.” It was dated “9:30 a. m, July 19,” and the mess- age was merely “The situation is un- changed in the past hour.” On July 19, the Germans were in possession of the wood where the pigeon was discovered. At the time the American officer found the de- serters they had built a nest and were three eggs on the way toward ac- quiring a family. - Both the traitors and their family will get the punish- ment usually meted out to traitors. “After removing the message,” said their captor, “I let the pair loose to finish rearing the family.

Even when a shell went zooming overhead they ‘showed no interest. They were fed up on this war. A little gray car chugged up the hill to their camp. Two war work men stepped out, carrying between them a curious long box. “What you got there ?” asked the doughboys. + “An organ.” ‘ “Well, can you beat that!” ¢ “We've come to give you a little entertainment,” said one man. “All right ?” & “You bet it’s all right,” answered a young officer. “This gang hasn’t seen a soul: from the outside world for weeks, Go as far gs you like.” And they did.. y They sang the new songs, just over from Broadway. In a minute the whole camp was singing them. Then they sang the verse of a good old close-harmony melody, and the crowd roared the chorus. Py ) Giew e “But haven’t you men got anybody who can sing?”’ asked one of the entertainers. The responseé was immediate and over- whelming. Sy cag “Sure we havel Oh, you Shorty! Come on, Happy! Give ’em that ‘Perfect Day,’ Billl” S v And then things really started. “Would you know it’s the same gang?” asked the American officers. i For two hours it lasted, and then the visitors packed up their organ. . “Come again soon and send more of your men,” said the officer. “We can’t get too much of it!” - “So long!” yelled the men. “Good luck! Come again!” Wherever there are American soldiers overseas, these organ- izations are -carrying entertainment to them.
