KURRIE ON FUEL COMMITTEE

STATE FUEL ADMINISTRATION CALLS MONON PRESIDENT TO ASSIST HIM. Evans Woolen, of Indianapolis, who has accepted the appointment of state fuel administrator from H. A. Garfield, federal fuel administrator, has selected the following men as his advisory committee: Charles Fox, of Terre Haute, president of. the state Federation of Labor; William G. Irwin, of Columbus, banker and manufacutrer; H. R. Kurne, of Rensselaer, president of the Monon railroad, and E. M. Wilson, farmer and manufacturer. All of the men and Administrator Woolen are members of the state council of defense.

The selection of the administrator and his advisory committee is considered the very best that could possibly be obtained in the state and very effective work will now be done in the way of providing coal. In the great wave in this country for Everybody to get everything possible while the getting is good, the coal barons have occupied the crest. Their action has been nothing less than cold blooded robbery. In order that the prices of coal might be increased from two to three hundred per cent,'no effort was made to mine or market their product. , One thing is as certain as the continuation pf the planet earth in its orbit, either the plutocrats will have to be controlled by moderate and fair legislation or there will be an upheaval of the masses that will result in socialism.

When the coal barons of this country are willing that the people may suffer in order that they may wring from them exhorbitant prices it is time for the government to take over the coal mines or the people to take over the government. —M o xley’s Special —Oleomargarine costs more than most other brands for the reason it<is as pure and sweet as can be made at any price. When colored it is almost impossible to detect same from the best creamery butter. Your money back if it fails to suit you.
