GREAT TIME FOR SAMPLE
COAL CARGOES
British Strike Gave Best
Chance Ever Knows For
Coal Shipments to
Foreign Ports

The Coal Trade Journal says:
Now that the British strike ia
over and the miners have re.
turned to work, the question
naturally arises "What h n 8
been the direct benefit to Amer.
lean coal producersg' for it is
certain that the mine operators
on this side of the ocean never
had better opportunity TO
prove the real value of their
product TO foreign buyers than
during the month of March.
Shortly after the strike was
announced n large number of
steamers from foreign ports
arrived at American warves
for supplies of coal which they
had formerly received from
English producers. and active
conditions prevailed at Hamp
ton Roads and Baltimore. At
ona time it is said that over a
hundred foreign steamers were
counted ia Hampton Roads, all
waiting TO be loaded up and
start on their journeys across
the ocean. In fact SO heavy
was the demand at the loading
ports in question, during tho
abort period which the strike
lasted, that records were,broken
fer quick loading at the rail-
road pierre.
Coal was shipped to coun-
tries which had never received
attention from United States
producers to any great extent,
such as Holland, Argentina,
Egypt, etcs places where. as a
rule, Welsh coal had previously
been used. Numerous inqri-
FIes were received also from
dealers in other places who
were not able to keep up with
their contracts owing to the
scarcity of English coal, and
looked to America as The next

A National Exposition
Of Conservation

Washington, ID O. May 20
An exposition of national scope
the purpose of which is to pro
mote the conservation of our
natural resources, is to be held
in Knoxville, Tennessee, n
September and October, 1918.
1t is to be known as The Ma
ticnal Conservation Exposition,
and, while it is to be open to
all parts of the country, its spe-
cial field will be the develop
ment of the Southern States.
An Advisory Board of leaders
in the various branches of con-
servation work, with Clifford
Pinchot mt its head, has been
formed as part of the Exposi-
ton Company's organization,
and Is now at work formula
ting detailed plans for the ex
hibits. Each department of
Conservation is represented on
this board by one or more ex-
perts in that field.
The Conservation Exposition
is an ontgrowth of the Appala-
chan Exposition. which has
been held at Knoxville for the
past two years. During that
time an exposition plant and
equipment has been built up
which will serve as a valuable
nucleus around which the ma
tional fair is to DO built. This
plant comprises a part of one
hundred acres, in which are
two artificial lakes and several
excellent buildings. This and
all other property of the Appa-
lachian Exposition Company
has been taken oyer by the
National Conservation Fxposi-
tion Company, which has made
application for a charter pro-
yiding for capital stock of
one million dollars.

America has always been look
ed on as n probable market for
our coal, the tonnage shipped
in that direction was never very
important and the recent heavy
tonnages forwarded to ports in
that section may be the fore
runner of an increasing bust
ness.
It must be said for those
bituminous companies which
shared in the recent furry OF
foreign business that they fol-
lowed wise policy prepared in
the best possible manner before
placing il on board the outgo-
ing steamers. Heretofore it
has often been the custom for
our producers to load all kinds
of i un k" on transatlantic
steamers, believing that they
could dispose of anything to
the foreigner, but they have
used n little moro discretion
this time and it is probable that
the results will prove the value
of the policy, AS South Amer
ioa was practically new leld,
as is mentioned above, the care
full preparation of the coal sent
into that territory may have n
beneficial effect in the Ameri-
can market in the future and
hold the trade of those who
gave our coal n trial during the
recent British strike.
The southern Goals having
established name for them
selves in the European markets
prior to the strike, naturally
led the people on the other side
to at least give them u trial
when such an opportunity arose
aud IL now remains to be seen
TO Just what extent the coal
has made good. (" Practically
all of the coal shipped to for
eign ports was of course from
the West Virginia fields, Poca
hontas and New River brands
having been pushed considera.
bly, in the foreign markets dur
ing the past couple of years.
Many OF the contracts placed
during the recent strike call
for dilivery during the spring
and summer months, so that
the dealers who were lucky
enough to land them well feel
the beneficial effects for some
little time even though the
British miners have all return.
ed to work
No better opportunity has
ever been offered the Ameri-
can producer to advertise his
coal by it's quality, and wheth-
er our producers continue TO
receive orders from those whom
they recently supplied with
coal during the British coal
strike remains TO he seen. 1t
is an interesting question and
we feel sure that all who are
interested in the success of the
industry will hope for an an

Object Leseson.

A ramshackle building in Winston
Salem was recently burned at the re-
quest Of the local Anti-Tuberculosis
league, because 1t was said to be alive
with tuberculosis germs and could not
be properely fumigataed.
For days before the building was
burned huge pfacards announcing the
hour OF destruction were hung about
In prominent places. Among other
things the placards said: within the
past 15 months two men who sold
fruit, etc., here have died of tuber-
culosis, but unconsciously left millions
Of tuberculosis germs by careless
splitting. The building is so open that
1t cannot be effectively fumigated.
The only practical means of dsin-
fecting Is by fire.
At the appointed hour, while null

Ing burned, 5000 pamphlets telling
how to prevent consumption, were dis

boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him. but he got worse all the time.
He had 1t about six months when a
friend told me about Cuticura. l sent

a cake Of Cuticura Soap and box OF
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to Inn
prove. He began to take long maps
and to stop scratching his head. After
taking two bottles of Resolvent, two
boxes Of Ointment and three cakes of
Soap he was sound and well, and never
had any breaking out Of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. I don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-

CHAPTER XIV.

Another Sunday man and horse and
dog roved the Piedmont hills. And
again Daylight and Dede rode togeth-
er. But this time her surprise at
meeting him was tinctured with sus-
picion; or rather, her surprise was OF
another order, The previous Sunday
had been quite accidental. but his
appearing the second time among her
favorite haunts hinted of more than
the fortuitous. Daylight was made to
feel that she suspected him, and he.
remembering that he had seen
big rock quarry near Blair Park,
stated offhand that he was think
ing of buying 1t. His one-time
investment In brickyard had
put the idea into his head-an idea
that he decided was a good one, for 1t
enabled him to suggest that she ride
along with him to inspect the quarry.
So several hours he spent In her
company. In which she was rruch the
same girl as before, natural. unaffect-
ed. light-hearted. smiling ana laugh
ing, a good fellow. talking horses with
unflagging enthusiasm. making friends
with the crusty-tempered Wolf. and
expressing a desire to ride Bob, whom
she declared she was more in love with
than ever. Against his better judg-
ment. Daylight gave in. and. on an
unfrequented stretch of road. changed
saddles and brides.

She nodded, while Bob pricked up
his ears to the knowledge that he had

fun came quickly enough-too quickly
for Dede. who found herself against
Bob's neck as he pivoted around aud

on her horse and watched. He saw
her check the animal quickly to a

would rap Bob on the nose. The horse
didn't live, after 1t once learned the
lesson, that would whirl in the face
of the doubled quirt
More keenly than ever, during that
week in the office, did Daylight realize
that he had no social, nor even human
contacts with Dede. The situation was
such that he could not ask her the
simple question whether or not she
was going riding next Sunday. Thus
he found another card in the hand
the mad god had dealt him. How i'm
portant that card was to become he
did not dream, yet he decided that it
was pretty good card.
Sunday came. and Bob. out in the
Piedmont hills, behaved like an angel.
His goodness at times was Of the
spirited. prancing order, but other
wise he was lamb. But no Dede did
Daylight encounter. He vainly circled
about among the hill roads. and in
the afternoon took the steep grade
over the divide of the second range
and dropped into Maraga Valley Just
after passing the foot of the descent,
he heard the hoof beats of q cantering
horse. 1t was from ahead and coming
toward him. What If 1t were Dede?
He turned Bob around and started to
return at a walk. The canter came
nearer, but he faced straight ahead
until he heard the horse behind check
to walk. Then he glanced over his
shoulder. 1t was Dede. The recogni-
| tion was quick, and. with her, accom-
| panied by surprise. What more
natural thing than that, partly turn
ing his horse, he should wait till she
caught up with him; and that. when
abreast, they should continue abreast
on up the grade? He could have
sighed with relief. The thing
was accomplished. and so easily.
Greetings had been exchanged; here
they were side by side and going In
the same direction with miles and
miles ahead of them.
He noted that her eye was first for
the horse and next for him.
'Oh, what beauty!" she had cried
at sight OF Bob. From the shining
