tributed to the success of the ex-

was a Mixed Chorus" of fifty
voices. The members of the or,

action showed their devotion to their
country by voluntary registering, in
order that they might be drafted into
the armies of the United States and
permitted to shed their blood for the
cause of righteousness, Democracy and
humanity. and,
WHEREAS, On said date, the spon-

their noble action, and.
WHEREAS, In this free country of

and pursuit of happiness exist, and
these privileges carry with it also duty,
which no man should be allowed to
shirk,
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Moses Alex

herey offer reward of twenty five
Dollars (s25.OO) for information given
by any one not an officer charged with
the performance of duty. that will lead
to conviction in a court of competent

coALI coALl COAL!

A few reasons why dealers and the
public must store coal NOW:
The situation is far more serious
than it ever has been in this section
with little promise of improvement.
Producers are unable to keep pace
with the situation on account of being
unable to secure miners, and naturally
conscription will further curtail avail
able men.
Australian and Canadian coal prac-
tically discontinued to coast cities re-
sulting in heavy demand for wester
coal at these points.
Fuel oil is being curtailed and price
rising further increasing demand for
coal for steam purposes.
Sugar plants and factories increasing
causing larger consumption of coal.
Mobilizing of troops will mean heavy
demand for equipment to move Govern
ment stores and impedimenta. Large
crops will soon begin to move which
will tax transportation facilities to full
est extent. which also results in IN
creased use of coal for steam purposes
Under above conditions. the GEN
ERAL PUBLIC, as well as the DEAL
ERS. should be impressed with the
necessity to NOW store all coal pos
sifhe. as well as practice economy in
its use to the fullest extent.
