MONDAY, JANUARY 21, 1918. i OMAHA BOYS AND GIRLS WILL TAG SHOVELS JAN. 30 Unite With Entire County in Campaign to Conserve Fuel on Tag-Your-Shovel- Day. .What boy and girl of the public schools will have the honor of tagging Mayor Dahlman's shovel on Tag-Your-Shovel day, January 30? Some boy and girl in the national capital will have the honor of tagging President Wilson's shovel in the fur nace room of the White House. The public information division of the federal fuel administration is pre paring to line up 20,350,000 American school children for a drive against fuel waste and coal shortage. Bales of tags aie being shipped to superin tendents of schools all over the coun try and the boy and girl who write the best two essays on coal saving will have the honor of "tagging the mayor's shovel." Superintendent Beveridge of the Omaha schools is "up on his toes" about this fuel conservation move ment He expects that the Omaha boys and girls will perform a 100 per cent achievement on January 30. Mayor Dahlman, likewise, is expect ant and enthusiastic and will issue a proclamation. The following statements are made by the federal f .1 administration in connection with this great project: "Tag-Your-Shovel Day,' becomes the children's draft day, the day of their enlistment in the world war in defense of childhood, the day of their partnership in national ideals and na tional duties. The government is placing a trust in the hands of the school boys and school girls. It is relying upon them, as an arm of the service, to become little missionaries of thrift, to carry to their own homes the message, ASave coal," and to be the consecra tors of the family coal-shovel to the world-wide cause of humanity. As effective as a great army with banners v;ill be this midwinter cam paign of 20,350,000 American school children,' the largest organized unit in the world, in their compelling drive against fuel waste and coal shortage. The government authorities at Washington have set their heart upon this co-operative attack by the chil dren against coal waste, not only be cause of the total actual saving of fuel thus to be gained, but because of the deep educational value that will lie in the enlistment of the youth of the land in a war thrift crusade. And the thing to be saved by the "Tag-Your-Shovel" day is coat. For we are at war. And this is a power war. Coal is power. Coal is trans portation. We are 50,000,000 tons short on coal. Dr. A. C.
