COAL SCAOtCE
AND MAYORS
MAY SIEZE IT
<n* AMoct&lea rrr*«
COLUMBUS, 0.. Oct. 25.—The mayors throughout
Ohio are preparing to seize all the coal supply on hand to
prevent suffering. Widespread demands on the part of
i hose short of fuel are already pouring in.
State officials have also been petitioned for relief. The
Ohio State University will be compelled to close its doors
shortly unless coal can l>e obtained at once.
The dealers confess themselves unable to supply even
emergency orders, let alone trying to meet the general de
mand. The mayors fear a spell of cold weather would|
cause intense suffering and probably many deaths.

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.—This city scrupulously observed
a wheatless day in the restaurants and by the thousands
of housewives generally. The observation of the day
started ■with breakfast, prevailed at noon today and will
be in vogue tonight. The chief novelty of the day was the

FIVE DOLLARS
IN ONE LUMP
FOR BIG FUND
Another five-dollar contribution
reached The Gateway office this fore
noon for the tobacco fund and three
other dollars came rolling in just to
keep the five company. And the “five”
was from a woman, at that. Oh, you
men!
Before the campaign ends next
Thursday, just a week from today, it
is safe to say that the fund will reach
proportions to satisfy the campaign
man that Seward will be placed on the
map that will be spread before the
boys in France, in the trenches, when
the tobacco shipment reaches them.
Glancing over the list of those who
have contributed from the start of
the campaign, it fully shows those who
are always right to the fore in every
thing of a public nature and especial- i
ly those who know or can appreciate
what it means to be deprived of an
article that brings contentment to the
daily toil. Just remember this—if we
don’t send the boys in the trenches
their tobacco, they will not have any.;
Who will be the next on the list?
The following contributed from noon
yesterday to noon today:
P. H. P.$ 100
F. A. Castle and wife. 1.00
Joseph Molloy . 1.00
Evelyn Poehlmann . 5.00
Previously acknowledged . 70.50
Grand total .$87.50
