The whole deal, involving over one
hundred and twenty thousand dollars,
was cleaned up and the money back in
the hands of the growers early in De-
cember, with the exception of two or
three cars which came in shortly after
ward. The entire delivery was ac-
complished WITHOUT REJECTION
OF A SINGLE CARLOAD. The same
was true of the 1914 and 1918 deals,
with the exception of one or two minor
complaints, which were investigated,
confirmed and on which very small
adjustment was made, which, how
ever, does not affect the averages
quoted.
The amount available for advertising
during the season of 1915 was only
$7,79l, but the lines of the previous
year, which had been so successful,
were followed, with some enlargement
and improvement. Again, the subway
and elevated street cars were used as
the chief medium of publicity. In
SEPTEMBER, 1915, the first Of the
seasons cards appeared in the cars.
This card is reproduced hereunder:

WOULD ABOLISH HOME WORK
Prominent Educator Likely to Have
Solid Support for Drastic Change
He Has Advocated.

Many parents will feel that there
is sound common sense in the sugges-
tons made by Professor Hall-Quest
of the University Of Virginia in his
addresses before Rochester teachers
in regard to arranging school sched-
ules so that home work would be
abolished and the amount Of writing
done by school children greatly re-
duced. Children in the upper grades
in grammar schools have a great deal
of writing to do and a considerable
amount Of home work besides. AS
the majority of children graduate
from the grammar schools nowadays
at twelve to fourteen years OF age,
study in the upper grades imposes a
tremendous strain of the eyes and
general health a period Of life when
it is likely to have permanent %injurl-
ous effects. Professor Hall-Quest put
his finger on the weak spot in the
present school system when he said
that children would learn vastly
more if they were taught more how
to study and use their minds instead
of spending so much time writing.
Much of the writing done is a waste
of time because it makes NO impress
sion whatever on the mind OF the
child. But the incompetent OF lazy
teacher finds it. an invaluable aid be-
cause discipline is more easily pre-
served when children have their
hands occupied.-Rocheste Demo-

A good story is being retold about

BEST PLACE OF RETIREMENT
Ones Own Soul Superior to All Other
Situations to Man of Well
Ordered Mind.

Men seek out retreats for them
selves, cottages in the country, lone
ly seashores and mountains. Thou,
too, art disposed to banker greatly
after such things; and yet all this is
the very commonest stupidity; for it
is in thy power, whenever thou wilt,
to retire into thysef; and nowhere
is there any place whereto a man
may retire quieter and more free
from politics than his own soul;
above all, if he have within him
thoughts such as he need only regard
attsntively to be at perfect ease; and
that ease is nothing else than a we'll
ordered mind. Constantly then use
this retreat, and renew thyself there
in; and be thy principles brief and
elementary, which, as soon as ever
thou recur to them, will suffice to
wash thy soul entirely clean, and
send thee back without vexatlon to
whatsoever awaiteth thee.-Marcus
Aurelius.

The warehouses are literally burst

GARFIELD FIXES COAL PRICES
Fuel Administrator Announces Final
Decision, Which Will Be Bind
ino on All Dealers.

Washington. Fuel Administrator
Garfield announced regulations, etfec-
tive at once, for the limitation of the
retail prices of bituminous and an
thracite coal throughout the country.
The fuel administration has fixed,
in the conclusions arrived at, not the
specific price which the retail dealer
will be allowed to charge the con-
sumer, but the gross margin which
the retail dealer will be allowed to add
to the average wholesale cost Of his
coal in making retail prices.
The retail dealer will be allowed to
sell coal to the consumer at a price
representing an advance of not more
than 80 per cent over the retail gross
margin of 1915. In no case, however,
is the gross margin from now on to
exceed the gross margin of July, 1917.
If, for example, retail coal dealer
bought particular kind of coal in
1915 at an average of 81 ton and
sold it to the consumer at $S ton,
his gross margin was 81. DR.. Garfield
now allows him to add 30 per cent to
this amount, making his gross margin
for 1917 $1.30, provided that is not In
excess of his gross margin in July
last.
If the retail dealer now pays an av-
erage Of So for the same kind of coal
he will be allowed to sell it to the con-
sumer for not more than $4.30 ton.
Doctor Garfield selected 1915 as a
normal coal production year.

insurances.
Amusement taxes agreed upon pro-
vide that all persons entering places
Of amusement free, except employees
der twelve, would pay a tax rate Of l
cent on each 10 cents or fraction
thereof of the admission charge. This
tax also would apply to cabarets and
similar performances where the cost
Of entertainment Is included in other
costs, such as service. Holders of an
nual box seats would pay 10 per cent
Of the annual rental. Nickel theaters
and shows, rides and other outdoor
park amusements with maximum ad-
mission of 10 cents and benefit enter
tainments and agricultural fairs were
exempted.
After November 1, 1917, members Of
all clubs, except fraternal orders, pay
ing more than $12 annual dues would
be subject to 10 per cent tax.
Exemptions Are Allowed.
On excess profits the conferees
agreed upon minimum deduction OF
7 per cent and a maximum Of 10 per
cent, instead of the 6 to 10 per cent
fixed by the senate. Other eXemp-
tions are $4,000 for corporations and
$4,000 for individuals. Corporations,
partnerships and individuals having
no capital stock would pay fiat rate
Of per cent on net profits in excess
of $1,000 for corporations and $4,000
for individuals and partnerships.
Miscellaneous income tax amend
ments inserted by the senate We're
generally adopted, including the So
called Jones amendment for a tax of
10 per cent on corporations indis-
tributed surplus, without allowance
for income taxes paid. The 10 per
cent tax would not apply to undis-
tributed income actually invested or
employed in business or invested in
federal securities after September 1,
1917, and per cent penalty for sur.
plus retained but not employed is pro-
vided.
In making provision for administra.
ton and collection of the new and
existing taxes the conferees provided
that the special tax Of 1213 per cent
on war munitions manufactures shall
be reduced to 10 per cent, but re-
tanned to January l, 1918 1t now
yields about $20,O00OOO annually and
