The recent cold snap found Lamar in
very poor shape to provide any warmth.
There was q scarcity Of coal, in fact at
times there was none to be bought
Various reasons were given for this, but
it seems that the mines were not able
to supply all the demands made upon
them. Some were short Of hands, the
men being away for the holidays, others
were on strike, and the whole state
was demanding coal from a limited
source. Our local deaflers have made
Arrangements 20 that such shortage
will not likely occur again. They will
be prepared during tho next summer, to
store q large quantity Of coal, which
will be kept for emergencies. and the
regular demand will be supplied from
additional shipments as required.

Commissioners Say Misrepresents-

The Commissioners learned Friday
that an effort is being made to defeat
the proposition to issue bonds for the
Improvement of Perkins park on the
ground that no gapos are permitted
in the park. The grant states that
no sport or games shall be allowed In
the park on Sunday. but they are per-
mitted and encouraged at other times,
the Board states. The park policeman
has police power but the Board points
out that his duties are principally to
act as foreman OF the men employed
there and to work with them.
