Believe In Goal Storage.

1.-The sage of the Gaylord Herald
grows philosophic at times. He de.
clared last week ''that a load of coal
left out of doors, exposed to the wealth.
er, say a month, lost one third of its
heating qualities. There are some
people about Concordia who, from sad
experience, can swear that load of
coal will lose one third of its heating
qualities in a single night in the dark
of the moon.-Concordla Empire"
We have people in our town who can
truthfully make affidavit that both OF
the above brothers are wrong. These
people know that load of coal which
had been left out of doors and exposed
to the weather. did not lose any of its
heating qualities. except for the owner
of the coal, and he lost all. 1t was
not in the dark of the moon either and
be considered himself lucky to have the
patch of ground left where the coal
was piled up. These people are firm
believers that coal storage pays.-St.
John News.
I In Great Bend we don't take any
stock in coal storage. It's cold storage
that we swear by. More "cold stor
age" houses have been broken int

than coal storage houses. Our Goa
