Here it is in a nut shell. The officials of the fuel administration tell us that the 1918 production of hard coal will be 20 per cent short of that of 1916. This means that if ?you used 5 tons of hard coal dur­ ing the winter of 1916-17, unless you make application early, you will get but 4 tons for next winter, provided you get your share, but if you waite until next winter before making application you may not even get your share. Your neighbor who applied early, may get his requis­ ition filled, taking one ton that was coming to you because you neg­ lected the opportunity, consequently you may be short two or more tons in every five, or possibly be unable to get any hard coal at all. We are ordered by the fuel administration that on all requisitions over 4 tons we must not deliver more than two thirds of the full amount untils all applications on file have been furnished their allot­ ment. To soft coal users. If the present order of the fuel administra­ tion continues in effect, no Pocahontas or other coal mined east of In­ diana will be permitted to be shipped to this zone. We must depend entirely pti Illinois and Indiana mines for soft coal. These mines positively will not be able to supply the zone unless a large percentage of it is stored during the summer. The early buyer will be the for­ tunate one. We are not limited to quantity on soft coal except that you may not purchase more than the winter's supply. The fuel administration requires that we furnish no one with coal for next winter's use until application is made in writing on blanks fur­ nished by the administration. Now the situation is very serious, more so than last year, and. Is growing more serious every day. That this community did not suffer from coal shortage last winter is largely due to the fact that a great percentage of our customers had the foresight to fill their bins early in the summer. The fuel administration will help us to obtain coal for those that apply early. They will assume no responsibility to those that wait until the cold weather forces them to boy coal. They advise you to apply now. We URGE you to apply now. Not only for hard coal, but for soft coal as well. If your bin will not hold ybur winter's supply, MAKE IT LARGER. Your security against a coal famine next winter depends greatly upon yourself. If you have not al made application for coal *1 DO IT NOW DO IT DO IT NOW WILBUR LUMBER CO.

A* WOMEN WILL ORGANIZE jCagnty Home Improvement Assn. For McHenry County TfceHome Improvement ass is a county-wide association of women both from iown and country inter­ ested in the improvement of methods •of" housekeeping and home-making. The association consists of several hundred members who pledge them­ selves to pay the annual membership fee agreed upon for a period of three ySfrs. Any person interested in this work may become a member. The Home Improvement association elects its own officers, handles its own funds, conducts its own business, se­ lects its own adviser and carries out its own program of work. It co-op­ erates with the University of Illinois, the 13.

She will co-operate in every way possible with Household Science clubs, Woman's clubs, the Council of National Defense, the Red Cross and other organizations inter­ ested in improvement of the homes of the county. The Home Improvement association brings country and town women to­ gether in friendship and co-operation. It often brings them together, too, as producers and consumers in direct marketing. The home adviser helps housewives to study and solve their individual home problems. She docte not offer her advice unasked, but gives it gladly when desired.

So far I have received four parcels. Yesterday we went out to a little town near here, We called on the mayor and school master and some of the people. By the way, the school master is quite a man here. The people treated us fine, especially one .Frenchman, who showed us his entire premises. He had about four acres, all enclosed by a wall about eight feet high and con­ taining his garden. What was inter­ esting were the fruit trees.* The pear, peach, plum and cherry trees were all small, being about eight feet high and planted right against the wall and trimmed so they grew against the wall just like one of those climbing vines. We all thought they were vines. After he had showed us around he invited us in the house and brought up three bottles of wine for the five of us, one white wine and- two red, with strawberries mixed in. We a fine time.
