vERMoNTs COAL SUPPLY.
Being Surveyed and Plan is to Distribute
More Evenly.

Burlington, Sept. l3-The Vermont coal
committee, the members Of which were
appointed by Governor Horace f. Ora.
ham, met last night in the parlors of the
Hotel Vermont with many of the retail
dealers of the state to discuss the coal
situation.
The committee is composed Of Hugh
J. NJ. Jones of Montpelier, chairman, and
member of the New England committee;
II. H. Brooks of st. Johnsbury and New
man X. Chaflee of Rutland. James Hart
ness of Springfield, food commissioner for
the state of Vermont, was also present.
The object OF the meeting was to oh
tain exact information of the amount
of fuel now on hand in these places as
well rs to ascertain with precise def
niteness the needs of these towns.
II was the opinion of those present
that there was an uneven distribution of
coal in Vermont at the present time,
some towns being better supplied than
Others, and the present situation is one
likely to cause grave apprehension if
not remedied.
The reason for this shortage is due to
the condition of coastwise shipping, there
being a great shortage of ships. Other
facts entered into the situation are that
most of the coal being mined is being
used for war purposes and that the rail-
roads are so overworked that the neces-
sary cars cannot be found to transport
the coal.
The northwest is being we'll looked aft
er. This is because ice forms early on
the Great Lakes, thereby necessitating the
use of all available means to get the
fuel there before winter sets in.
After much discussion on the part of
those present, resolution was adopted
pledging loyalty TO and cooperation with
the Vermont coal committee in supply |
ing information which is absolutely |
necessary if this committee is to secure
proper consideration of Vermont's needs,
with view of securing additional ship
ments of fuel into this state. The res
,lution adopted also urges all retail coal
dealers of the state not present at the
meeting to furnish any information deal
ng with the subject they may have at
land.
There is an excellent chance that if
his information reaches the committee
quickly, the much-needed shipments may
,e secured Owing TO this needed infor
nation, the situation is largely in the
lands of the retail dealers of the Green
state. These men must coop
rate whole e-heartedly with the Vermont
oal committee appointed by the COVER
Ior if the desired results are to be OBJ
aimed.

PERSH|NG WANTS
TROOPS TO SMOKE
LEADER BELIEVES TOBACCO
WILL HELP SOLDIERS
WIN WAR

Major-Gen. John j. Pershing,
commander of our forces in France,
is a firm believer in plenty of
smokes for soldiers on the fir
ing line.
Recently, when asked by a Red
Cross worker what would be the
most appropriate things to send in
a comfort kit to soldiers, Gen.
Pershing laid particular stress on
smokable things. In a short article
on this subject in the National Geo
graphical Magazine, headed Stand
By The Soldier" the American lead
says:
Il telegraphed a list of things
1 though might be acceptable, in
GLIDING cigarettes, cigarette papers,
smoking tobacco, pipes, old fash
toned candy, comfort bags. pocket
knives and perhaps a dozen other
things.
THE point | wish to make is that
those things make a soldier feel
that the people at home are behind
him. You do not know how much
that means to us going abroad. You
do not know how much remem-
brance means to any soldier who is
over there carrying the flag of his
country.
THAT should be uppermost in the
minds of those working for our
Yankee soldiers abroad"
