All speakers were agreed on one point: That the GAR and associated groups should continue to flourish.

Not the Last. Mr. Watkins pointed out that once the GAR had nearly a half million members while today the Illinois membership is less than 80. But," he declared, "great lives do not go out they go on." When, turning to Commander Shumate, he said he had read this was to be the last encampment, the veteran commander shook his head vigorously and the crowd cheered. "There can never be a final encampment and an end of the GAR," asserted Mr.

Watkins then. "It will always march on in the history of the United States. Whenever the nation is in need and facing a hall. 4:00 p.m. Election of officers.

Preceding the Tuesday night meeting most of the organizations had banquets in honor of officers (D(S)M1 Will there be enough THE MOST IMPORTANT MATERIAL in Our National Defense Program Is COAL! To prdduce the planes, tanks, guns, munitions needed for defense, a continuous supply of coal is absolutely necessary. Important in maintaining this continuous supply is the storing of an adequate coal reserve by all consumers home and industrial alike! COAL consumption from May 1 to October 1, even before the peak of cold weather and National Defense industry demands begin, will be 206,500,000 tons.

From May to September, 1940, inclusive, the country's entire coal production was only 8,300,000 tons per week. This year, in order to provide enough coal for the home and the factory alike, the coal industry should ship and consumers accept 3,200,000 tons more each week from May through September. This is probably the limit of the capacity of the mines and the railroads. As defense production, now only 50 under way, reaches its peak, the supply of coal will not satisfy the demand and the situation will indeed be serious for those who have not anticipated their needs. In your own interest, as well as in the interest of National Defense, it is imperative that as much coal as you anticipate you will need for this winter be BOUGHT AND STORED NOW, while operating and transportation conditions are most favorable.

In plain words, if all who will need coal this winter, begin to buy and store now there will be coal for all. If everyone waits until September and October to order coal, there will be such a piling up of orders that shipments and deliveries cannot be made to all. This should not be allowed to happen. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN IF YOU GET YOUR COAL NOW! BE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH COAL. ORDER AND STORE YOUR COAL AT ONCE! The following coal dealers feel it is their duty to inform the coal consuming public of the conditions that people will have a choice of train and past department presidents.
