RETAIL COAL PRICES CUT
BY FUEL ADMINISTRATORS
Garfield Fixes Maximum Rates to Be
Charged by Dealers at 80 Per
Cent Increase Basis.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Three fmpOr-
tant orders affecting coal prices were
issued by Fuel Administrator Harry
A. Garfield.
BY their terms the following be-
come effective today:
1. Maximum retail prices Of an
thracite and bituminOus coal, based
on dealers average gross margin of
profit in 1915 plus 80 per cent added
to the present cost to dealers, as fixed
by the government.
2. Reduction of 60 cents or Is per
cent in prices at the mines of Penn
sylvania anthracite pea coal.
3. Increases ranging from 20 cents
to $1.30 ton for .bituminous coal at
the mines in nine states where opera
tors have claimed that the former
prices fixed by President Wilson were
not sufficient to cover costs.
Whether the public will receive
considerable reductions is difficult to
judge. 1t is Mr.. Garfeld's belief in
many communities, where the retail
ers have been making excessive prof
it's, there will be marked decrease in
prices to the public. In other local
tiles, where retailers have been con-
tent with modest profits, it will not
make so much difference.
Under power conferred by the food
control act heavy penalties may be
imposed upon those who fail to carry
out the fuel administrators orders.
In no case may a dealer make a
greater profit than during July of the
present year.
To compute the retail price a deal
er must take his average gross mar
gin in 1915 plus 80 per cent and then
add it to the price Of the coal at the
mines, plus the jobber's profits of from
Is to 30 cents a ton plus the freight
from the mines to his city. If the
dealer made a gross profit of So ton
in 1915 he will make about $3.50.
The public will benefit directly by
the reduction in anthracite coal at
the mines.

"The astonishing feature which

SCHOOL GARDENING NOT FAD
Tendency in Some Quarters Not to
Regard New Development Serious
Iy Is Decried.

The federal bureau Of education OF
the department of the interior has is
sued pamphlet, Gardening in Ele-
mentary City Schools" which covers
the progress and prospects Of school
gardening. The testimony presented
by school officials from cities of more
than 5000 population in all parts of
the country indicates that while gar
den work is offered in the schools of
about four hundred cities and enthu-
siastically praised by the school Off
cials of these cities, there is still ten
dency in some quarters to regard it
merely as another educational fad.
This it certainly is not. The United
States is still an agricultural country,
and the teaching of gardening brings
the schools at one point closer to the
real business Of the country than any
thing else taught, says the Indianapo-
lis News.
But Of course there must be some
system about teaching gardening. The
natural desire for garden must be
cultivated and conserved, so that the
transition from play to work can be
accomplished. This is the problem OF
the educators. Many cities have COM
planned that they cannot get good
teachers to undertake the work. The
school authorities will have to cultf
vate teachers as the children cultivate
their gardens-that is, if they are to
meet the demand. For it appears
from the government report that school
gardening has won it's place. 1t has
developed the home garden under
school supervision, and this has proved
not only it's educational worth, but
also it's economic worth.

COOPERATION LIFE TO CITY
Community Which Does Not Enco"r-
age Growth Of individuals and
Industries Cannot Thrive.

Speaking before the gathering OF
business men of Baltimore at a ban
uuet in his honor, Charles NJ. Schwab
said: No large industry can thrive in
a community unless it enjoys the good
will and the support Of that commu-
nity."
That statement is as true OF the
small industry as Of the large indus
try, and it is true Of the individual
business man as well.
And there is also truth in the state
ment that the community cannot
thrive which does not give to the 1ndl-
yiduals and to the small industries as
well as to the large industries situ-
ated therein every encouragement to
growth and expansion.
Cooperation is the life of the city.
Without it there can be no city in the
true sense. There may be an aggre-
CATION of houses, Of businesses and OF
people-but that does not make city
as we know the city today.
The true city of the twentieth CEN
tury is a place Of schools, a place OF
churches, a place Of wide and we'll
paved streets, a place of Fairgrounds
and of parks, a place of beauty and a
place of culture.
1t is as we'll a place where every
man who is doing his share for the
mutual welfare is receiving his share
of the credit and the profit; where the
new industry is given local support IN
the period when that is needed and
still receives that support when 1t
reaches prosperous maturity; where
the farmer who brings in the product
of his labor may be sure of market
at price that is fair and just; where
the stranger receives every considera-
ton and is not robbed.
In short, the true city is place
where people can live in happiness and
contentment, secure in the enjoyment
of pleasant homes, loyal friends and
prosperous business conditions-and
without the spirit Of cooperation it IS
impossible for a city long to exist.

In the early days Of March she grew
a little anxious; the stalk seemed swol-
