The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1897-04-21

Ed. HERALD In view of the continued
depression in the anthracite coal market and
the resulting lack of work which is causing
so much suffering and privation in the
county, l have been led to think that prob
ably we could enable a good many of our
worthy citizens, who are only too willing to
work but unable to find it, to do something
for themselves somewhat after the Pingree
plan, which was made famous aud useful hy
the present Governor of Michigan The
land adjoining town is not of the best from
an agricultural point of view, but many fine
gardens have been made out of it, and it has
occurred to me that perhaps something could
be done with il upon the cooperative pian
assuming, Of course that leases could b. OBJ
taiued from the owners for the land needed
The charitably inclined among our people
responded nobly when calls upon them were
made a month or yo ago and much-necdcd
relief was temporarily afforded, but as the
slackurs of work continues, the suffering
docs also, and is likely to continue the
greater part Of the year as the tendency in
,lie coal trade has been to increase the num-
ben of c0lieres, and consequently the num-
Der of days worked at each Las decreased
annually for some years past and the ques-
tuu of assisting those who deserve it is one
that should impre itself upon thinking
men The good book says the poor We have
always with you, but this year they are
with us iu greater numbers than the writer
has known them to be in a generation in
Schuylkill county, hence l feel impelod to
write you, Mr. Editor, suggesting that the
leading ci'j2yus of the town assemble aud
endeavor b. devise some means Of aIording
a-sisHgc.. AS I stated before, there is con-
siderable land near town that l believe could
be put into Shape for cultivation in small
patches atd made TO yiclI some return in
comparatively short time, and the results Of
tine Piugrec plan have been so remunerative
IN nauy places that / suggest it for consider
alton. Sumo one else may, however, have
