Co-operative Farming Advocated The Farm Help Specialists are giving much time to the organizing of farmers into companies and co operative associations for the ar ve<ting and handling of e1 ^ crops.

Hayes, president of the United Mine Workers of America has reported to the United States Fuel Administration the_ success ful progress of his campaign in the anthracite mining districts speed ing up the production of coal. Throughout the field he has plead with the mine workers that the> -shall in the present crisis work their full eight hours a day and persist in it during the six days of week. He called the atten are co ar e1 ^ ot way han e every tion of the minei*s to the reduction in the mine workers' ranks which had been caused by the draft and ** by voluntary enlistment, and im- | pressed upon them the necessity | of bringing production to a point 1 that would satisfy the increased I I war demands of the Government, | and would keep all the industries « running full speed and at the same 1 time insure the domestic-consumer against discomfort during the com-j The meetings addressed by Mr. « Hayes were all well attended and § splendid patriotic spirit was shown § by the miners and operators at all of them. .> 8 Miners Put Work v \ Before Pleasure B V' In nearly every coal mining field j g the mine worers are making the p sacrifice of many of their holidays and diversions in order to respond to the demands of the Government g for more coal. Wherever there seems to be a danger of taking men ; $ away from the vital t^sk of mining; & more coal the miners are doing !§ their part by making the necessary sacrifice. At Barnesboro, Pa., the center of an important mining district, one of the annual events enjoyed by the mine workers has been the annual; picnic of the Noi-thern Cambria | g Scottish Club. Word has been re-1 % ceived by James B. Neale, director j § of production, United States Fuel|^ Administration, that the Northern Cambria Scottish Club has decided ^ to discontinue this animal picnic ^ during the period of the war so as not to interfere in any way with coal production. In other producing districts throughout the country there are many public gatherings, county fairs, firemen's piemes, and such # like diversions scheduled. Wher ever any of these seem to threaten to divert the mine workers from their patriotic tasks it is desired by the Fuel Administration that I they be cancelled. ft a « * ï ft J > n * a a of u a O « 5 g $ g We are now able to maJ^e reasonable delivery of FORD CARS o \ « P $450 Touring Car Roadster .
