INCREASE IN THE
PRICES OF COAL

The Waterville coal dealers have
raised the prices on all grades of hard
coal 80 cents a ton and on soft coal
from s1.5C to $3.50 per ton. The Water
willie men have held off on the raise
as long as possible but it had to come,
as they did not know where they were
to get any more coal when what they
have in stock is out The cause of the
rise is the embargo which has been
placed on coal by the railroads, due
to the great rush of freight, and to
the fact that much higher rates are be-
ing charged by the vessels that are
bringing cargoeS to these markets. The
Watcrville dealers were behind those
in practically every city in the State
III going up On their prices and have
gone up less than those in any other
city fact which is appreciated by
those who have to buy coal at this
season of the year Like everything
else the rise bears hardest on the poor
people for those who had the money
had their coal for the winter put in
last fall or during the summer and as
a result can view the rise with COM
placency The local men figure to take
care of their regular customers but are
not looking for orders from any new
customers and in the case Of soft coal
are not selling any more than they can
help, as where the next will come
from after what they have in stock is
gone they no dot know. At present the
railroads hold the key to the situation
and the future price is entirely I'D to
them.

"Eeinie" Greger as he is affection
ately known to his classmates at Har-
vard is az far as appearance goes
small man, weighing barely $50 pounds.
But in all other ways, he is decidedly
g big man, in fact one of the most
prominent members of the Senior
Glass. Henry Ludwig Flood kreger,
for this is his full name, is from Fair
field, Maine, and gained his reputation
at the University as a scholar, an ath-
lete. and a popular man among his
classmates as his list of clubs testifies
Record IS Coxswan
He was first heard from as coxswain
of the crew, where he was always re-
garded as an omen signifying victory,
up to the Varsity Race with Yale last
June a Harvard crew never lost a race
with "Heinie" holding the rudder ropes
He was coXswain of the famous Hen
ley Crew of 1J14 that went to England
and won the championship of the
world. defeating all corners.
AS a student. he is no less brilliant.
anneXing a scholarship every year he
has been in college. Already he has
10 LAS" to his credit on the college
books. He was elected to Phi Beta
Kappa this fall, and is the holder Of a
Hopkins Detur and a John Harvard
Scholarship.
kreger's list of clubs is no less as
founding. He belongs to the Institute
of 1870. d. X. f., Phoenix, Hasty Pud-
ding, Delta Epsilon, Western Club,
Maine Club, Exeter Club, and is a
member Of the Student Council to
which he was elected this fall. And on
top of all this, he is permanent treas
urer of the Senior Glass.
All of which goes to prove that al
though Fairfield's distinguished son is
a little chap, there must be. to use a
splendid "Americanism," something
under the hat
He is a splendid example of a man
who has come to Harvard and made
good" on his own ability.
