The intense cold has created demand
for fuel almost without parallel in this
vicinity. The situation is intensified be-
cause of a shortage of fuel Of every de-
scription. The immense piles of wood and
we'll filled bins of soft coal were quickly
disposed of when cold weather set in,
and within, a very few days the dernand
far exceeded the supply Many were
turned away without a stick Of wood ror
a pound Of coal. Conditions in the coun7
try are alarming. Scores of farmers have
purchased hay-burning stoves and are
using hay and straw instead of coal or
wood. 81 & s
