McCRORY AND AUGUSTA
GO “OVER THE TOP”
Hon. Harry L. Ponder Spoke
To Full House at Both
Towns. Subscriptions
Run High
Last Saturday was truly Lib
erty Loan Day in Woodruff
County and our people readily
responded to the call of the
Government to subscribe for
the bonds of the Third Liberty
Loan.
Hon. Harry L. Ponder, state
senator of Walnut Ridge, made
two masterly addresses, one at
Augusta in the court house
and one at the Methodist
church in McCrory. Both au
ditoriums were filled to over
flowing and the patriotic re
marks by the speaker were
greeted with hearty applause.
The editor had the pleasure of
hearing the gentleman at both
places and the people werp de
lighted with what he had to
say. We join in congratu
lating Hon. H. M. Woods of
Augusta, chairman of the
speakers committee, upon hav
ing secured the above distin
guished gentleman’s services.
At Augusta, the quota was
immediately over-subscribed
before the speaker left the
building and at McCrory two
thirds of her quota was read
ily taken, and the remainder
has since been subscribed, thus
putting both cities “Over the
* Top.” The list of those who
subscribed follows:

BOB SPRADLIN
For Sheriff and Collector
The attention of the voters
of Woodruff County is called to
the announcement of Mr. R. E.
L. “Bob” Spradlin of Augusta,
as a candidate Tor the office of
sheriff and collector of Wood
ruff County.
“Bob,” by which his friends
know him best, was elected to
this office in 1914 and lost in
his race for a second term by
an exceedingly small vote. He
says that he is now asking for
re-election to a second term.
That the experience of his first
term makes him more efficient
and capable to better dis
charge the duties of the office
than otherwise is beyond ques
tion, and no one doubts that,
if elected, he will always be
found standing for efficiency,
honesty and economy, and at
all times conducting himself
in an upright, sober and indus
trious manner.
We ask that you carefully
consider his claims before cast
ing your ballot at the coming
primaries on May 28.
FUEL PROBLEM
The Fuel Administration
calls upon the public for the
closest operation in providing
against a reoccurrarce of last
winter’s fuel famine next sea
son.
“Buy early to insure your
coal supply for next winter”
it the admonition that is being
emphasized by the Fuel Ad
ministration, both National
and State.
As an inducement for early
buying, new prices have been
announced, summer reductions
definitely settled, and the pub
lic is assured that the prices
will not be disturbed during
the coming year.
To safeguard the consumer
the Fuel Administration has
prescribed regulations to pre
vent profiteering and to gov
ern the distribution of coal by
licensed jobbers and by retail
ers. Each domestic consumer
will be permitted to secure a
full normal supply of coal but
no more.
Consumers in Arkansas as
well as elsewhere are warned
that every ton of coal hoarded
against future needs and not
used dring the winter is actual
waste. The labor and trans
portation used in bringing the
coal to the consumer and the
actual energy of the coal itself
are withheld from doing their
part towards speedy victory.
Consumers should secure
just a little less coal than they
believe they will need, and
make every shovel-full saved
give its full value in heat and
power.
And the loyal Arkansas citi
zen should not forget that
wood should be used as fuel
wherever possible, so that the
coal may be saved for govern
ment needs.
The b uel Administration
must have the suport and ac
tive cooperation, not only of
those engaged in production
and distribution of fuel, but of
every coal user in the country.
Each must bear his share of
the patriotic sacrifice if the
coal supply is to be properly
increased and adequately dis
tributed.
Guided by the experience of
the past winter, the Fuel Ad
ministration has taken the nec
essary steps to clear the way
for the ceaseless activity of
the mines in increasing the
supply, and for the steady
swift distribution of the fuel as
rapidly as it can be taken from
the ground and moved over the
burdened transportation sys
tem.
The prices fixed by the gov
ernment for coal at the mines
have been established on a
stable foundation and will not
be disturbed during the coming
coal year except in cases of ex
traordinary urgency. The
prices have been adjusted by
scientific and practical investi
gation based upon uniform
cost sheet reports to insure the
greatest possible stimulation
of production while maintain
ing a reasonable and equitable
price of coal to the consumer.
By careful regulations, the
Administration has insured the
shipment of clean coal from
the mines. Every effort is be
ing made to so arrange the
distribution that it will impose
the least possible burden upon
the railroads, by means of the
zone system.
“Burn wood if you can’ says
Administrtor Couch, “but n
you must burn coal, buy n
early or you may not get it a
all.”
