Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 241, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 October 1918 — CONSERVATION OF FUEL. [ARTICLE]

CONSERVATION OF FUEL.

Court Reporter Frank E. Bell, of the Jasper-Newton circuit court, reports what he considers the most patriotic act he has witnessed for a long time. This patriotic spirit was manifested along the line of conservation of fuel. Early this morning City Treasurer Charles M. Sands was seen to walk up and down Washington street with a scuttle of coal in the act of warming up. Some one is always taking the joy out of life and a fellow suggests that this was mighty hard on the soles of his shoes.
