SCARCITY GOAL IN LONDON.
 CAUSES SUFFERING
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, April If. - London has just passed through the hardest winter of the war. For weeks the weather has been down to the freezing point, an unusual thing here. Coupled with this severity of weather was a scar city of coal, which caused suffering among rich and poor alike. The coal was in the country, but the difficulty was in getting it to the consumers.
 It is true that prices did not soar very high as compared with those in Paris and Rome, but the dealers did get S15 a ton, which is a good price in London.

AN UNUsAL OBITUARY.

8 A quaint old man recently died at
Minneota and the Mascot wrote a
quaint obituary, from which we clip the
following paragraphs:
'''He was not much on society. He
did not cultivate its ways nor bother
about it's conventions He wore clothes
because he found it nesessary to do So
not Tor any improvement that they might
make in his looks, and most Of the time
his clothes were OF style and assort-
rnent against which the sin of vanity
could not be charged. He never attend
ed any public gatherings, except an occa-
slonal trip to church. He could not
have told you what theology meant,
but he could have told you how to treat
your dog. He could have given you no
help in the matter of deciding what cut
OF frock to wear at a pink tea, but he
could have given you a few pointers on
being faithful to your trust. He
could not have told you anything about
the causes that brought on the European
war, butshe could have given the Ger
man Kaiser few lessons in decency.
His education was limited, and his
knowledge of world politics would not
have qualified him for diplomat; but
when it came to. the so-called everyday
virtues, he was well qualified to speak.
In other words, when it came to things
that the greed, ambition and vanity of
man place as among the highest and
most desirable, old Beggi was not well
versed, but it is safe to say that he
had q middlin' tight grip, sir, on the
.handful o'things he knew
And so he. lived his live, never bother
ing anyone, never abusing anyone, being
pleasant to all, being courteous to all,
being kind to all and enjoying the good
will of all. He was uncultured but in
stinctively polite; he was uneducated
hut by nature endowed with that which
decades of education cannot bring; he
had no wife and children, but he received
and returned the love of several dogs

.O.f1cious Officers.

A farmer Monday drove into Mankato
with a load Of potatoes. He was a very
loyal farmer, and he had his wagon
draped with bunting and flags, and on
the side of the wagon box he had dis
played the following placard:
How can / help my country?
Answer: I'll be a soldier in the United
States army or home guard; I'll farm.
The. war is one OF wheat, corn and
potatoes, as well as soldiers andsirearms.
Men must eat; I'll give. The worst
Stacker is the one who not only refuses to
face bullets on the battlefield, but also
refuses to give. I'll invest; buy United
States bonds Bonds are better than
taxes, better than bondage. I'll con-
serve; plan to avoid waste, etc. I'll
boost. The booster is the United
States best friend. Make q booster OF
every man you meet
A Mankato officer, who had been,
unable to hear anything "seditious,
but must in some manner display his
loyalty, pounced upon the Blue Earth
county farmer, and informed him that
he was violating the law by displaying
the United States flag over his potato
wagon, and that he would be back
shortly and attend to the mans case. I.
Up<to the time the Mankato paper,
reporting the case, went to press the
officious officer had not returned to
ATTEND to the mans case, and there
is some speculation as to what he
intended to do, or just how he would
attend to the farmers case.
The trouble just now seems to be that
any Whipper-snapper with the least bit
of authority, assumed or otherwise,
takes it upon himself to try to make
trouble for some one They so about
with an air of authority, assuming that
the common herd must ask them if
they have a right even to think.
Yes, there~are a wise. lot Of guys in
just now.

The Soft Coal Situation

The United States Geological Survey
has issued statement on the soft coal
situation which indicates that the miners
are doing their best to supply the country.
So much is being said about the short
age of bitu1ninous coal, and the general
public realizes SO little the important
gains in output made by the operators
under trying conditions, last summer,
over all previous records, that the state
ment just issued by the United States
Geological Survey, Department of the
Interior, on production in 1917, COM
pared with 1916, is particularly timely.
In commenting on this report, prepared
by the statisticians Of the Geological
Survey, Director Geo. Otis Smith points
out that the shortage is not due to the
failure Of the soft-ccal mines to produce
more coal than in the past, for the country
en- September l was about month
ahead of last year in output and is ex-
,pected to finish the year with an in
crease of 10 per cent over 1915, the
banner year, and of Is per cent over 1915
The tremendous increase in manu-
featuring and transportation activity
this year has created demand for soft
coal in excess of any in the past, an in
crease in demand that is difficult to
measure in terms Of tons but that is
certainly more than the 10 per cent by
which production has increased: To
meet this demand the mines have been
producing. soft coal at rate never be-
fore equaled. In the second week of
July, 1917, the average daily production
was more than 1000, 1000 tons, the highest
point yet attained; in the middle of
August the lowest rate for the summer,
1888, 900 tons. was recorded and in the
last week of September the daily rate
was 1928, 900 tons. In the first eight
months of 1917 the output of soft coal
was 363, 500, 900 tons, or 81 900, 900 tons
more than in the first eight months of
1O4V. LII Vic 01lllS OCl
Of anthracite increased 16 per cent over
those OF 1916.
In the bulletin just issued by the
Geological Survey, the figures Of COM
parative shipments regularly collected
and shown in part in the monthly and
weekly reports, are converted into tons
Of total production, in order to satisfy
the demand for information on the part
of those net familiar with the coal in
dustry. The diagram of average daily
production will hereafter be reproduced
in the weekly reports issued each Satur-
day, and the diagram showing total
production to date will appear with the
bulletins sent out the 18th of each
month. IS

STOCK ON RIGHT-oF-WAY

The high cost of meat at home and the
demand for it abroad make every effort
to conserve the supply an act Of world
service. A railroad company calls atten-
ton to the desirability of keeping live
stock off the right-of-way, explaining
that the losses are much greater than the
public realizes.
Last year 100000 worth Of animals
were killed on the tracks Of one railroad
and the national loss from this source
probably exceeds $2,o00,0O0 Better
fences and more serious attention to
this me- tier will check tie waste.
