Greater co-op ration In buying coal
' 'at once must b obtained in the Went
Southwest and sections df bie Middle
West the Fuel Administration - an-
nounces at Washington If tlie mines
or to b kept going full time during
th summer months and the danger
averted of a serious shortage of coal
la those sections next fall and winter
Official reports to the Fuel Admin-
1st ration show that In the States of
Illinois Michigan Kansas Missouri
Oklahoma Arkansas Texas New Mex-
ico Ioaa Utah Washington Colorado
Wyoming and Montana consumers of
coal are not placing their orders In the
volume expected or in quantities nec-
essary to Insure against a winter short-
age This la true also though to less
axtoat in Ohio and Indiuiui
“Apparently the consumers In these
districts have not yet realized (lie full
gravity of the- situation" the Fuel
Administration states "The mines in
those sections must he kept going
‘They caa ha kept going only if coal
ordinarily ordered later In the year Is
ordered now The domestic consumer
who delays placing Ids order Is taking
a chance of having an Insufficient cold
weather supply the Induetfial user
who fells to order ids coni now Is
almost certain to face a shutdown
' later on' i y
Buy New — Everybody 1
t “The man who aloes not do his pm t
hy anticipating his ueeds and co-ojier-atlng
with the Fuel Ailiilnlstrntlon
and the railroads' hy ordering Ids coni
now takes hla place with the man who
avoids service at the front or refuses
to buy Liberty IJnnds Every coul
user should buy and (tore coal now to
meet hi requirement so far as he is
possibly able to do so
“Every state and local representative
of th Fuel Administration Is ready to
hslp th coal consumer In avery way
poaalblo to get an appropriate and ad-
qaat supply of coal Every day that
pea decrease the margin of time
la which this assistance may be given
“If yea can’t get tb grade of coal
that yaa have been getting In the past
'take another grad that yon can get
It Is batter to have In your bins coal
of a grad slightly different from what
you have boas using In the past than
to gq Into winter without any coal at
IL -
"Consumer who do not order tbelr
eoal now are gambling on the future
There la reason to believe that If ev
ary on anticipates his coal require
dents and puts In his order now no
one will have to do without next win
ter If however there Is delay In or-
dering coal it Is more than likely that
production during the fall and winter
will b Insufficient to meet the needs
t every one
Bettor Nw Kind Than Nona
“There has been notable neglect of
certain grades of coal that are now
available In large volume and clamor
eaa demand In certain quarters at
Isaat for specific coals that various
consumers have used for a number ot
) sera While there Is at the present
’ ro shortage of coal In the west there
may ha a denial of selection of the pre-
c'se coal most desired It you seek to
do your part place your order now tor
the coal nearest at hand aud ot which
(here Is a large available tonnage and
get your bins fined Immediately
“The Fuel Administration la anxlou
ilth every means at Its command to
-cure th hearty co-operation of the
public aud to move Into the bins of
domestic users particularly tbelr full
) ear’s cost supply before the first day
of October Whether It succeeds or
I ot Is entirely dependent upon yout
cwn personal attitude and action
“If the anxiety of the Administration
aeeuis to you overdrawn proof of th
iecvselty of Its recoinmendutlon and
in propriety of the warning will reach

The Long Arm of Mercy
By DR FRANK CRANE
The Red Cross is the Long Arrr ot Mercy
- -- It is the Kindness ot Mankind — organised
In Man is an Angel and a Devil a Dr lekyll and Mr
Hyde The Red Cross is the Good aroused energized to
thwart the Bad
It is the best antidote we know to tho hnne of war
There are other Charities more or less helpftil The
Red Cross is the mightiest of all Charities the Love and Pit
of all men made supremely efficient
If as Emerson said “sensible men and conscientious
men' all over the world are ot one religion’’ this is the ex-
pression of that religion
' The Red Cross is Humanity united in Service
It asks no man’s opinion only his need
Black or White Friend or Foe to the Fled Cross there
is no difference it only asks: “Vho is Suffering ?" Ant!
to him it goes
The Red Cross is so Efficient that Governments recog-
nize it so Pure in its purpose that whoever wishes well hi-
fellow men desires to help itr so Clean in its administration
that the most suspicious cun find no fault in it
The Red Cross not only seeks to alleviate the cruelties
of War it is the expression of those human sentiments thui
someday will put an end to War
It is the impulse of1 Love striving 'to overcome the im
pulse of Hate
It is Mercy’s co-operation struggling against War’s ri
valries
" It is the one Society in which every Man Woman and
Child should be enrolled for it knows no sects no preju
dices no protesting opinion the human being does not live
that does not feci that the starving should he fed the sick
tended and the wounded healed v
Majestic and divine is this Ling Arm of Mercy it finds
the fallen on tlie battlefield it brings the nurse and the
'physician to the victim in the hospital it leads the weeping
orphan to a home it feeds the starving cares for the pest-
smitten whom all others abandon and pours the oil of Help
and Pity into the bitter wounds of the World
Where a volcano has wrought desolation in Japan or a
Flood in China' or a Hurricane in Cuba or a Famine in
India or a Plague in Italy or ravaging Armies in Poland
Servia or Belgium there Hies the lied Cross the Angel of
God whom the fury of men cannot banish from the Earth
and to the Ends of the Earth over all the ways of tlie Seven
Seas wherever is Human Misery there is extended to bless
and to heal its Long Arm of Mercy
THE SCARLET CROSS
By
Margaret Widdemer
01 tha Vigilantes
Wliat is II that you do today who lift the Scarlet Cross!
For all the withered world la down In ruin and lu loss
And al) the world hears clashing sword and hears no sound less plain-
ly hut can you do who lift the Cross but heal to tight aguln?
We guard the women left alone heartbroken for their dead
We save the children wandering where all save Fear has fled
We raise again the broken towns swept down by shot and shell
We heal again the broken souls hopeless from learning Hell—
Oh they who saw but Grief and Hate see now our red sign plaln-
We save the sad world’s soul alive that War had nearly slain I
