COAL PRICES

The problem of coal prices and supplies during the coming winter 1 far from satisfactory settlement by the federal prOytbional prica making, according to the comments of some of the lcoaI dealers. The presi- dent has announced rates per ton at which coal is to be sold at the various mines, and this action, it is stated, is to be followed later by the fixing of retail prices. So far as the matter has progressed fed eral rates have not been enthusiastic Cally received by the trade. While mine operators are making no state ments as to their intentions, retail coal prices in Seattle are now ap- proximately $1.75 per ton higher than the government estimates on some grades, and retailers suggest that coal Is likely to be no cheap CT during the coming winter.
 The price at Washington coal mines, as fixed by the president of the United States, ranges from SS to S3.50 per ton for the different grades. The cost of transportation, carriage, handling, and the ordinary profit after 1t leaves the mines, add approximately $3.5O per ton for coal delivered in the consumers bins. Even at government rates 1t Is probable that coal will be sold at higher prices than year ago.
 The cutting off of the usual fuel oil supplies on September l, will also operats to increase the con sumption of coal, and under Or dfnary circumstances would sttmu- late prices. These conditions, per haps, may be considered in any fu- turs readjustment of the tentative federal rates.-Seattle P.-I. -.-.--.,

WATCH AMERICA

In a statement made in Washing ton the other day, Herbert c. Hoover, whose war speciality is food conservation and control. said:
 The United States has done nor in four months than Germany did 1T a year."
 If confusion did not attend Am ericas entrance into the war the world would be the witness Of a miracle of transformation.

SOMEBODY.

Someday: So many fearful eyes
Are watching for the dawning light ;
So many faces toward the skies
Are weary of the night!
So many failing prayers that reel
And staggcr upward through the
storm,
And ycarning hands that reach and
feel
No pressure true and warm.
SO many hearts whose crimson wine
Is wasted in a purple stain
And blurred and streaked with drops
of brine
Upon the lips of Pain.
Oh, come to them! These weary
ones!
Or if.thou still must bide a while,
Make stronger yet the hope that
Before thy coming smile:
And haste to find them where they
watt
Let summer winds blow down that
And all they long for, soon or late,
Bring round to them, Someday.

Hoover Cards.

Some of the women who distribute
ed the Hoover cards in Roswell
knows how it feels to stand without,
and talk through a screen door. 1t is
not very pleasant, is it? Perhaps they
will have more consideration in the
future for those who are compelled
to go from door to door to earn
a living always barring book agents,
of course), For the most part how
ever, the women were received cor
daily. Some keepers of boarding
houses asked to have cards left to
distribute to boarders who took much
more on their plates than they were
able to eat. The day is past when
you are supposed to leave something
for manners" The clean dinner
plate is the motto now.-Roswell
