Reasons For
Unusual Coal Conditions

Five why you should fill your bins now
with al-winter supply.
Miners are scarce and growing scarcer,
Foreigners are going home to fight. Americans are
being drawn to the steel mills by the lure of high
wages.
2-"Tight money" has deferred the usual summer
shipments every will want coal at time.
3-Railroad equipment is in bad repair.
Am enormous crop has been harvested and
must be moved to market
5-The output of steel mills has greatly increased.
further strain railroad equipment
Labor trouble, car shortage etc., will have large
bearing the quality of coal shipped later in the
winter
If you have room for coal-better put it in now
while the quality is good.

the middleman who has plaid hob
with farrnin as a bizness and farm
in wont never pay in these parts
until the middleman is kickt clean
outen the bizness and the farmer
gifts all the profit on what he sells.
Then another reason that farnin
don't pay in our midst is becuz the
land is run out. The more you take
outen the soil the more you got to
put in or bye and bye the soil gifts
so blamed poor that it wont skeerc-
ly raise thistels and who wants to
raise thistels? The reason the land
has run about hereabouts is becuz
our farmers amt got enuff money
to buy fertiliser that's why. On
acct of the rniddleman they've been
workin over the same ground yr
after yr without putin emmy dress
in on it in the spring and now the
end of farmin has came and about
9 outen 10 farmers in this seckshion
has mortgages on their farms and
haft to dig like Sam Hill to raise
enuf intrust to pay on the mortgage
by the time it comes round.
In other words farrnin is a de-
1ooshion & snare and its our
umbel opinyun that a man would
make jest as mulch workin out by
the dav as he would make on his
own farm.
SPESHIAL NOTIS-We per-
SOON that most of our more igno-
runter farmer subscribers will haft
to read this eddytoriul on farmin

Stranger In Our Midst

A stranger whose name we did not

buddy we knowd but he was a going
along at purity good clip and by the
time we got out he was so fur away
that we diddent know whether we
knowd him or not but it lookt like
somebuddy we diddent know. We
made inquiries of others but it seems
nobuddy else seen ennybuddy ansering

who pass through our midst stop long
eunf to say who they are SO we can

they ashamed to tell their names?

titled, "Whots the Use Of Farn1in

The general opinyun of them
who don't know nothink about

argy that a farmer raises every

to eat and has enuff left over to
sell and purchase clothes & other
necessities of life with and that no
matter how hard times is he can

That might of been the case wunst
but it Amt no more Alas times

of a farmer bein as Independent

he made on them eggs into his
