DEMAND FOR COAL.
Register Predicts that the supply CAM
not keep up this fall

"Coal men are anticipating some
thing of shortage this fall" says
State Register. "AIl through the
summer the business has been good
in all the shipping mines and all have
been putting out great deal of coal,
which has been taken as fast as it
could be produced. The railroads of
the state have used a great amount
of coal and also all of the manufact-
turing institutions have been running
full time and have taken more than
the ordinary amount of coal used in
the state during the summer. The
CONSCIENCE is that little coal is stored
at any of their regular coaling sta
tons and when cold weather COM
mences to shut in and the local de-
mand is materially increased the
mines will not be able to supply the
demand.

PEOPLE ARE WORKED.


IowasCity, Aug 10--The people of
this city are pestered by five cam
vassers who are working smooth
gag in the sale OF enlarged pictures
and frames. While the scheme is
not swindle, yet it presents a tran
saction which is not far from 1t.
They claim that they represent
great picture firm which does BUSH
ness In Milwaukee, and in order to
dodge the home industry argument
they announce that their firm intends
to establish a branch business in
Iowa City. The assertion is probably
true, but the business will remain
only about one week. They by these
smooth talks gain the confidence Of
the housewife and then proceed to
work their game for all it is worth.
They then present box contain
ing large number of envelopes en-
closing numbers. The agent states
that his firm viii give an enlarged
portrait of any photo in the house
providing the person should draw a
number. The drawing is free and
the sympathetic housekeeper draws
a number which ia nine cases out OF
ten will entitle her to an enlarged
portrait. The agent feigns great
surprise that the houekeeper is so
lucky and asks for the photo from
which the enlarged portrait is to be
made.
He secures the picture and then
begins to pack his kit, whom he sud-
denly thinks that his firm also manu-
features and sells picture frames OF
great variety. The agent then asks
the person to buy frame for the
free picture. The recipient of the
free portrait can hardly refuse, since
her lucky draw and purchases a
frame of the agent which costs about
three times what the portrait and
frame are both worth.
