The State Fuel Administrator Says This Action is Urgent On Account of the Scarcity Of Cars Later in the Sea son, Which Will Be Used To Transport Big Crops. The following letter was rethis week by Chairman G. M. Whitmore of the County Council, from VV. W. Armstrong Fuel Administrator, which shows the pressing need of the citizens of Utah laying in as big a supply of coal as possible be fore July 1st, The letter follows. Mr. M. Whitmore, Chairman, Nephi, Utah. Dear Mr.. Whitmore: The important duty of the County Fuel Committees for the next three weeks, as we see it. . is to promote in every possible way the storage of coal by the household consumer. In addition to the usual and very potent argument in favor of this practice namely, that such storage provides against any possible shortage to the individual consumer, there are at this moment in Utah three special reasons; First: The freight rates on coal from the mines will advance 25 per cent on June 25th, or practically 40c a ton.' Second : The price at the mine on lump and nut was advanced by Government order on March 11th. but the producers in Utah, in order to encourage the storage campaign, did not take advantage of this advance. It is incV.cated, however, that they w ill do so not later than July 1st which would add another 35c per ton to the price. Third: The crop reports indicate an extraordinarily heavy yield of grain, potatoes, fruit and other products, which will burden the railroads at the beginning of the cold weather. This is likely to result in the shortage of transportation facil-it- i. and consequent shortage in ceived coal. In view of the above statement we hope you will use every pos sible means to encourage the people of your county to place their orders in writing withtheir local dealers for sufficient coal to fill their bins. This will ensure delivery at the present prices, up to the time when the dealers' present stocks are exhausted, I take this opportunity to express to you the sincere thanks and appreciation of the Fuel Administration for Utah for your loyal and effective cooperation during the ieriod of our association together, and to bespeak the same supjort for the coal season of 1118-1Very truly yours, W. W. Armstrong 9.

The fam itself is ideally local ed or a dairy farm, with good pure water, and plenty of grass pasture leading fron the barn, where some 20 fine Jersey cows were being milked, every one looking like a . thoroughbred to the writer. Everything in this barn is kept as clean as it is pos sible to keep it. The milk from each cow is carefully weighed and a record made of same, From the barn the milk is taken to the milk housed where a large separator is installed which has a capacity of one thousand pounds an hour. This separator is run with a gasoline engine, which also does duty for a large churn, a feed chopper, and other things needed on the farm. After separation, the cream is taken to a small concrete house nearby, which encloses a nice cool spring, and it is cooled to a temperature of about fifty degrees. It remain here until brought to the creamery, or ehurhed into butter at the farm. whore they have an apparatus for sterilizing tlfe cream by means of hot steam. Mr. Webb has devoted years of his life to the study of dairy animals, and the producing of milk and cream has become near . ly a science with him. They have a fine ranch home, surrounded by everything that makes for an independent living, As a side issue, a fine flock of some 125 young Turkeys were noted. A fine automobile is one of the useful accessories to the places, which enables them to come into town in a very short space of time. The condition of Mr. Webb's farm shows what can be done by well directed and sustained effort. When he took this place some years ago, it was in a run down condition. its a model dairy farm, which we should be safe in saying is the best in Juab V alley. - To-tla- v Word was received Wednesday from Clyde (lowers, who has been on a mission to the Eastern States for the past two years, that he had been released, and would leave for Nephi probably this week.

As stated In a previous issue of this paper, this is Nephi's opportunity to secure a much needed improvement to our city, and it is earnestly desired that every tax payer will avail himself of the opportunity to eet this valuable aid to the young men and women of this city at a nominal cost. It is stated that part of the Library can be used as a city and there will also be an assembly room attached, that can be hall, used for public meetings. The saving thus made in rent, and other things, will nearly pay for the cost of maintenance. ' The city council took this action after a petition signed by all the leading citizens and business men of Nephi had been pre sented to them. That they took the proper action in the matter is fully approved by all progressive citizens of Nephi. NEWS NOTES FROM NEIGHBORING TOWNS season was explained.
