The Roswell Cemetery association
has issued "a cook book which Is enti.
Jled: "The Alfalfa Cookbook" which
seems to suggest that it is Intended
for cattle. A cookbook Issued by a
cemetery association is always open Ia
the suspicion that it is issued for the
benefit OF The cemetery and the nlling
Of graves. This is certainly the FIRST
instance that a cemetery association
has gone into the business OF publish
ing cuukbooks. But there Is nothing

COAL COMBINE.
Railroad Companies Rumored to Have
I'm View Direct Delivery OF Coal
TO the Consumers.

A gigantic coal combination is ru-
mored to be in the first stages of for
nation, and before many months
shall have passed everv household In
America IN which coal is consumed
and every industry that relies upon
that mineral for the prod uction of
power will likely feel its baneful eff
fects.
The statement now generally cred
tied. because of what appears to be the
first outward moves on the coal trade
checkerboard, is to the effact that the
great carrying companies and other
interests controlling the mining of
the black diamond have agreed to
take steps that will ultimately lead
to the absorption by them not only of
all the wholesale profits. but the re-
tail benefits as we'll. Such a step, IL
generally executed, would mean the
wipinR out of existence Of thousands
of the smaller dealers in this and
other cities.
1t is, of course, impossible to se-
cure any direct confirmation of such
combination, but il is generally
credited, and the statement is to the
effect that the new organization will
he bui1t and controlled along the
lines of the present oil trust. With
the affair in full swing, the middle
man would be forced to bankruptcy,
or ut least to new fields of business
and agents of the great combine
would direct the disposition of almost
every lump of coal that could be haul
ed. Thus they would deliver to some
great central depot the coal and dis
tribute at pleasure in their own carts
and wagons to the consumer. both
great and small and dictate absolute
Nv as to price and time Of delivery.
