Explains Hard Coal Situation.

In recent circular sent out to
their customers the Mitchell and Dill
Ion Coal Co. of Chicago explained the
present shortage of anthracite as fol-
lows:
1--WE have received so many in
quiries from our customers regarding
the hard coal situation that we deem
it advisable to issue this circular.
THE present scarcity of anthracite
is due to the following facts:
First: Practically all the hard
coal produced during the coal year
ending March 91st, 1912, was used up,
owing to the unusually severe weather
prevailing during January, February
and March The docks in Chicago,
Milwaukee, Duluth, etc, usually
carry over several hundred thousand
tons on April 1st, but this year the
docks everywhere were swept clean.
The same condition was general
among the retail coal dealers, both
East and West of Chicago.
Second: The stocks of coal
usually carried in the large storage
yards in the East, by the companies,
were entirely exhausted.
Third: Two months suspension
In mining caused a shortage from
April LIST to October list of about
eight million tons, and we are in
formed that there is no probability
of this shortage being overcome this
season.
Our people, as well as all the
large producing companies, are en-
deavoring,t to fill their contracts with
the docks before the close of naviga-
ton, and rail shipments have conse-
quently been almost abandoned,
The General Coal Agent of one OF
the largest railroads entering Chicago
recently made the statement that his
company was bringing but fraction
of the usual tonnage or anthracite
shipped into this market at this sea
son of the year.
Under these conditions we do no
believe that much anthracite will b.
shipped from Chicago until the close
of navigation, which occurs the las
of November
AS the most critical period will b.
between now and the middle of De
cember, we strongly advise all deal
ers who are fortunate enough to have
any anthracite, to deliver only I
small portion of each order. In thi
way you will temporarily satisfy {
large number of customers until Goa
becomes more plentiful.
I'VE have been endeavoring to trea
our customers fairly, giving each
share of the limited amount of Goa
we have received, but until the clos
of navigation we will be unable t
make much Roadway on our orders

IN BURBANK'S SHOP.
New Portland Has Thriving Industry
In Manufacture OF Scents.

"Whew." remarked the reporter, II
guess that will step out into the
fresh air for a moment II yo1 don't
mind"
The remark was made during a
hasty inspection of the laboratory
where Nathan c. Burbank of New
Portland manufacturers many kinds
Of animal scents.
The Maine Woods reporter had not
been In the little house with the huge
targets painted on its side manv mo-
ments before he made the above re-
mark. For the place teemod with
odors of every description. Araby
the blest has nothing on Mr.. Bur
banks scent headquarters.
1t is in this laboratory that Mr.
Burbank and his assistants manufac-
ture alluring scents for different
kinds of animals including beaver,
muskrat, fox, opossum, lynx, coon,
wolf and marten. And also Tor the
little fellow who annoys the ladies
by his presence, the mouse.
From all over the country and from
the wids of Canada and the far north
come orders for the scents manufac-
tured by this man. who has been in
the fur and scent business ever since
boyhood.
1t is mighty interesting to watch
Mr.. Burbank compound the scents,
which are so alluring to the fur bear
ing animals. ell takes bit of beaver
castor, perhaps, or the glands OF a
muskrat and mixes them with some
other compound, putting the stuff In
an ounce bottle which is eventually
adorned with a handsome label.
The great mail order firm of Sears
& Roebuck of Chicago buy many bot
ties of Mr.. Burbank's scents and or
ders come in at this time of year,
particularly, from every trapping Sec
ion.
the manufacture of these scents are
very high priced. Every muskrat
gland costs from II to 20 cents each,
which makes the cost per pound, af-
ter they are dried, not far from $40.
Many of the component parts of
the scents have to be secured at a
certain season of the year, which
makes them more expensive than they
should be otherwise.
Mr.. Burbank's business has grown
fast during the past few years, for
he has done much advertising and
has travelled far and wide.
Il don't claim that | have some
thing never before made, but | do
claim that my scents will do as rep
resented"
Mr.. Burbank is an enthusiastic au-
tomobilist. He says that he can use
a machine to much better advantage
than horse. And my horse is in
the pasture all the summer long get
ting rested up for winter" said he.
New, Portland is proud of the thriv
ing industry that has been built up in
its midst, for the labelled bottles of
scent go to all. parts of the world

Ii is slowly dawning upon the dub
brains of certain influential members
of the Republican State Committee
that little less of the pussy-foot
business and more of the pound of
the elephants FOOTE'S would have
saved Maine in the last election. 1t
was the most foolish and non-sensical
way of running a State campaign
that ever man devised The fellows
who cautioned that pussy-foot bust
ness should be relegated far to the
rear. We happen to know OF one
political organization whose officials
wrote twice to the State Committee
asking for campaign buttons and
literature, and the committee member
so written to has never yet replied to
the request Great campaign man
agement. 1t was a pity that several
members who counselled a vigorous
campaign could not have won their
way. This pussy-foot business never
worked and never will; but some dull
brains can never understand 1t.
Even colleges have wide differences
of administrative policies. Here Is
Colby, for instance, seeking admission
to the New England College Entrance
Certificate Board, which means that
after 1918 she will admit no student
without examination unless from
school in New England approved By
the New England Board; and here is
the University of Maine Withdrawing
from the Board and permitting any
graduate of Class A High school to
enter the University without any ex-
animation at all Colby wishes to
make entrance to the college more
strict and difficult and Maine wants
to articulate her work more satisfac-
torily with the Maine High schools and
so removes the restrictions.
Having lost to the Republican Party,
the nation and the State, it now re-
mains to be seen whether Certain
coterie of men will lose to the ma
ton United States Senator from
Maine. Mr. Burleigh won out in the
June primaries; he was the logical
nominee of both factions of the Re-
publican Party. His nomination by
the Maine Legislature is sure If Re-
publicans who have latterly called
themselves Progressives will vote as
they voted in June,-if they will do
the square thing and save to them and
the Republican Party an able repre-
sentative in the United States Senate.
1t is case now of Senator Gardner
for six years longer, or Ex-Congress-
man Burleigh.
