those who need it. - Can't Boost Price. Under the new rules, milk dealers will not be allowed to increase the price of milk to consumers without first securing the permission of the federal food administrator for ' the state. Junk dealers who eke out a livelihood by collecting all bottles are also hard hit bv the rules. "Part of the, high cost of milk is due to the fact . that milk bottles are worth five cents apiece," the communication received by Weidner says.

fnrmfrn ore ureed aealn to sell their

surplus supply of wood, by F. S, Bates, Wayne county fuel administrator.

A letter received by Mr. uaies iroin Evans Woollen, federal, fuel administrator for Indiana savs that Vlnvestl-

gation prompts the belief that many

farmers do not appreciate we mwusness of the situation and in fconsennonro of thi lack of understanding.

they are making unnecessary demands

on the scant coal supply in, several counties.' -' . The letter. follows: "The exigencies of the coal situation Justify toy "addressing ydii again bh the subject of substituting wood tor coal, as far ! as possible.' If anyone ignores the lesson of the present severe cold weather, be must be ohs who refuses to learn, wornexperience. We must cut down the coal consumption AT ONCE. Farmers Don't Understand

"Investigation prompts the belief that many farmers do not appreciate the seriousness of the situation aha

In consequence of this lack Of turnerstanding, they are " making unnecessary demand on the scant coal supply in several counties. Farmers may not exect to escape the Inconvenience at this time and I refuse to believe that any or them will ask to escape when the necessities are understood.

'1 urge you to insist that farmers who can obtain wood for fuel, do so. You will be warranted in asking your retail dealers to co-operate with you to the end that coal sold to farmers who have wood yds at their disposal be cut down to a minimum. "It'ivill be helpful if you go a step, farther and pfompte organizations to encourage the: iise "of wood in towns and villages. ' " , " " " ' 'Many Will CQ-0perte "Farmers wb have the least desire to patriotically serve the best interests' of the state and nation, will gladly cooperate along these lilies, not only by usirig Wood for fuel but by selling their surplus-' I again urge you, where it isi practicable to utilize the waste and dad wood on' the, farms in meeting the fuel demands from p'ersons whb. financially 'are unable to buy coal. "t am reluctant to believe that ' a single farmer in Indiana will hesitate to coH)perite with, you when he understands the situation but in the event you 'encounter such cases, may I ask

you to report sucn cases to me promptly." H
