CHEAPER COAL EVERYWHERE

The WORLD is rejoicing because its

coming down handsomely. one by one,
end by reducing their own prices are
confessing the truth of The Worlds"
proposition hat the retail price of coal
has been kept at an unnecessarily high
figure. The consumer, by shopping a Mt
tie, Is finding dealers who are selling
coal at n reasonable profit. and in time
the competition started by The
Worlds efforts will force all the deal
erS to reduce their schedules.
The sales by THE World' were only
'welve tons on Wednesday. twelve on
Thursday and seventeen tons yesterday.
But this brings the aggregate up to
5,349 tons. At $50 per ton, 1.-The

aggregate. no less than S4,Oll. Is. the ex-
ira and uncalled for profit of the retail
dealers at the exorbitant price of SIS

The man capable of contributing
to the worlds welfare by his origi-
nal thought is not always the one
to push his thought into notice or
to battle against opposition, Not
infrequently he retires discouraged,
and either abondons his project or
merely cherishes it in secret, and
dies without disclosing it. Surely
such loss to the world must be laid
at the door of those who have stihed
his hopes and weakened his hands
by their words of discouragement.

In those halcyon days of agricul-
ture eleven Presidents of the United
States were called from farms:
l. Washington, the land survey
or and farmer, from Mt. Vernon.
2. John Adams of Quincy, who,
during the last year of his Presi-
dency, said: II am weary, worn
and disgusted to death. | had
rather chop wood, dig bitches and
make fences upon my poor little
farm. Alas! poor farm and poorer
family, what have you lost that
your country might be free"
3. Jefferson, farmer, philosopher
and statesman, from Monticello.
4. Madison, farmer and lawyer
of Montpelier, Va.
s. Monroe, farmer, from Oak
Hill, Va
6. John Quincy Adams, from the
Quincy farm of one hundred acres,
near Boston. (It is said that most
of the trees were raised by John
Quincy Adams from the seeds
which he was in the habit of pick
ing up in his wanderings. The
most peculiar interest attaches to a
shellbark hickory which he planted
more than fifty years previous to
his death. In this tree he took a
peculiar satisfaction, but he was an
enthuaiast in regard to all the trees
in the forest, different in this re-
spect from his father, who was an
agriculuturist of the Cato stamp
was more inclined to lay an ak to
them than to propagate them.)
{. Andrew Jackson of the Her
mitage in Tennessee, who, as far
mer, soldier and lawyer, was most
excellent type of the best Ameri-
canism.
s. Van Buren of Kinderhook, n.
Y, was called to his Presidency
from his sheep and wool farm; al
though he was a lawyer of far
above average requirements and
ability.
8. William Henry Harrison from
his farm at North Bend, Ohio.
10. Tyler of Sherwood Forest
Farm, Va, where he subsequently
died.
II. James X. Polk of Duck Riv-
er, Tenn, also came from the farm
to the Presidency. This selection
of Presidents from rural homes
from among the farms of the
codntry-illustrates the fact that
in those days there was no pro-
fession or calling which held a
more exalted position in public es-
timation than that of agriculture.
