LITTLE RELIEF In
COAL SITUATION
Shortage Continues Although Whole
salers State They Have Ordered
Coal Shipped.

The conditions in the coal market to-
day are just little bit worse than be
fore. The local dealers have not re-
ceived any coal from the mines for
several days and some of them are en-
tirely out of coal and can not fill their
orders. One dealer stated today that
he received notice II days ago from
the Springfield mines that a couple of
cars of coal had been shipped, but rs
yet they have not reached Rock islam !.
There is where the trouble lies. The
railroads can not or will not haul the
coal. although a large amount is al
ready in the cars and standing on the
tracks at the various transfers. The
bad weather of the past week tied up
the railroads to a certain extent and
helped TO make matters worse.

0, Mother-Afy-Love, if you'll give me
your hand
And go where l ask you to wander
will lead you away to beautiful
land.
The dreamland that's waiting out
yonder;
Wen walk in sweet posy garden
out there.
Where moonlight and starlight are
streaming,
And the flowers and the birds are
filing the air
With the fragrance and music Of
dreaming.
Thereu be no little tired-out boy to
undress,
No questions or cares to perplex
you;
There'H be no little bruises or bumps
to caress,
Nor patching of stockings to vex
you;
For I'll rock you away on silver
dew stream
And sing you to sleep when you're
weary.
And no one shall know of our beauti-
full dream
But you and your own little dearie.
And when l am tired, III nestle my
head
In the bosom that's soothed me so
often,
And the wide-awake stars shall sing
in my stead
a song which our dreamland shall
soften.
So, Mother-My-Love let me take
your dear hand,
And away through the starlight
we'll wander,
Away through the mist to the .beauti-
full land,
The dreamland that's waiting out
yonder.
