U. 8. FUEL ADMINISTARTION
NEWS, ADA, OKLAHOMA
TRACK MEET AT NORMAN
(By P. A. Norris, federal fuel ad-
ministrator for Oklahoma.)
ADA, Okla., May 8.—Coal in Ok-
lahoma is moving rapidly and deal-
ers and steam plants are buying
heavily. The domestic consumers
are not buying as they should, ac-
cording to P. A. Norris, federal fuel
administrator for Oklahoma, and
continuel failure to lay in a supply
means the worst coal famine ever
known in this state.
The dealers of the state are res-
ponding to the plea to buy early
and many of them have their bins
filled. In the western part of the
state one dealer reports that he has
his bins filled, but the consumers
are not taking any coal. He is an-
xious to avert a fuel famine and is
doing what he can to educate the
people to the necessity of storing
the coal early. If the consumers
wo aid take a part of it now he
could store enough more to get the
community through the winter. Re-
ports similar to this come from
many parts of the state.
The mines are busy now, but
they cannot stay busy unless orders
keep up. Unless consumers begin
buying, dealers may cancel their
orders to the operators and then
a calamity is ahead of us.
The Oklahoma Corporation Com-
mission has put back into effect
the group system of freight rates,
and there is no chance in the least
for the freight rate or the prices of
coal to get lower than they are
now.
Coal users who do not have bins
woold do well to build them at
NORMAN, Okla., May 9.—The

BREEDING OOWS
Realizing the importance ofMnore
cattle being raised on the farms 1
have arranged to procure a limited
imount of money to be used by farm-
rs in buying cows. We have many
acres that should be in bermuda
rasa; we have an abundance of good
water; we have a mild climate; pnd
within another year we should have
he tick under control. It is possible
o care for six cows where there is
ow but one. To those who are so
ituated that they can care for a few
ows, say even r or 6, or moro, and
eed some assistance, I will be glad
o n.ave you call on me. 1 can vake
are of from BO to 100 small herds
nd a few larger ones. I would have
ou give this serious consideration;
he country needs the cattle; upon us
epends the task of raising them. I
• ould be glad to have you call on me
ny time you think I can be of ser-
ice to you.

once.
All who can get wood to burn
should do so, but it is not advisable
to ship wood this year. There isj
no shortage of coal, but there is a
shortage of shipping facilities. If
fuel is shipped by rail, it is better
t(. ship coal than wood. All those
towns which can get their wood
supply from the surrounding farms
should make arrangements to have
tiie wood cut and hauled. Farm-
ers can do little or nothing along
this line until later in the summer,
but the consumer ef fuel is taking
big chances who w'aits even one or
two months to arrange for a supply
of fuel to keep the family warm
next winter.

Special Courses in Domestic Science
for Teachers and Others.
NORMAN, Okla., May 9.—What's
become of the old fashioned girl
who went off to school and came
back unable to cook, sew, or keep
house?
Abe Martin, Luke McLuke or
some other humorist will be heard
asking this question one of these
days as the result of a new turn to
training given girls in college. This
change was the result of the intro-
duction at the University of a
"house-keeper's course" designed
to fill the exact need suggested by
the name.
One Year Course
This is a one-year course offered
in the domestic science and domes-
tic are departments of hte univer-
sity for the first time this year. Or-
ganization of the household, divi-
sion of income, general principles of

ponsibility in the home, system and
efficiency in housework, care of
utensils and furniture, cleaning of
fabrics and removal ow stains are
among the things taught in addition
to cooking, food dietetics and sew-
ing.
A two-year course for teachers
also is offered now and next Sept-
ember a four-year course for teach-
ers will be introduced in the depart-
ment. The four year course has
been designed to meet the require-
ments of the Smith-Hughes voca-
tional education bill, under which
