made for Ignite coal. Transportation
of eastern coal will be out of the ques-
ton entirely. Everyone will have to
fall back on good old North Dakota
Ignite. Railroads will be unable to
provide cars and as natural conse-
quence many will suffer for lack of
fuel. Take our advice and secure your
supply now. If ever there was time
when the advice "Do it now" was in
order, that time is now. Get your coal
in car lots while the price is low, store
your coal in basement if you have
one, and it will not slack enough to do
any harm. 1t is better to be safe than
sorry. Uncle Sam may have something
to say in regard to the fuel supply
later on that will destroy your peace
of mind, and turn your thoughts to
the unsolicited advice of the Burling-
ton scribe.
