HOT AND MuGGY

It's just this kind of weather that tries the patience of parties who are responsible for the preser- vation of our food. There's going to be lots of just such weather be- fore the list of October. What are you, who thought to go without q refrigerator or perhaps make the olss one do, going to do about it? You'll make a mistake if you do. You'll make a worse one IS you buy cheap, poorly constructed one, just because it's offered at a low gure. Does it signify anything to you that most of the Baldwin Dry-Air" refrigerators we have sold have gone to the neighbors of satised owners of that kind? All sizes at present.

souta,ern coal Strike ove,.

ROANOKE, Va, July 10.-Those in- terested in the coalfields claim that the strike is virtually a thing of the past. Five hundred and forty cars of. coal were loaded Tuesday. Seven carloads of miners from east Virginia and North Carolina arrived in the fields and immediately went to work, many of them being old miners returning. The labor leaders assert, on the other hand, the critical stage has not arrived yet. It has been stated that if the de- mands of the strikers are not acceded to by the 17th inst. that other labor unions very likely will take hold of the matter.
