RAILROAD NEEDS A FACTOR
IN COAL SHORTAGE

r. T. Harbour is in receipt Of an
interesting and Informative letter
on the coal situation from the kem-
merer Coal Company Of Salt Lake
City. Utah. from which the follow
ing excerpts are taken:
I'VE have your favor Of the oath
inst, and note that you have not
been able to secure any kcmmcrer
coal from Tausick n Kaufman for
some time, and for this reason de-
sire to place your order direct with
us. In reply ! wish to say that no
doubt the fact that we have not
been making any shipments TO Tau.
sick & Kaufman is responsible for
your not being able to get service
from them.
we have not screened any coal
at Kemmerer for 60 days. the entire
output going to the railroad as run
Of mine coal. We have therefore
shipped practically no coal to Tau
sick " Kaufman for the past 30
days except a few cars Of run of
mine. 1t is absolutely imperative
that we take care Of the railroad be-
cause If we did not they would con-
fiscate the commercial coal that was
on their lines. for if they did not
have coal for their engines they
could not move the commercial coal
or any other freight that might be
in transit. Our output is off on ac-
count Of our inability to secure min
ers, and as the labor situation gives
but very little promise of improve.
ent do not see that we can expect
very much commercial coal from
Kemmerer this season. We Of
course regret this exceedingly, as
we are the big losers.
eve therefore cannot offer you
any encouragement whatever in the
way of shipment of Kemmerer coal.
If you can use few cars Of Rock
Springs we perhaps could ship you

Abe Abrahamson went cut to
feed his team the other day at his
home in the Reed and Hawley up

into a pile Of hay. Speedily he
found that he had spiked a rattle
snake through the neck. The snake
seemed to be angry, and wrapped
its tail around Abe's foot with such
force as to lift the foot from the
ground and to almost tear its neck
loose from the tine. The snake did
this in trying to pull the leg close
enough for striking, and seeing it
in such unamiable mood, Abe des-
patched it as soon as possible.

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati Authority Tells How To
Dry up Corn or Callus 50 1t
Lifts OF With Fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says
this Cincinnati authority, because q
few drops of freezone applied directly
on tender, aching corn or callus,
stops soreness at once and soon the
corn or hardened callus loosens so it
can be lifted out, root and all, with
out pain.
A small bottle of freezone cost very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried. as 1t
Is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his Wholesale drug house 1t Is
fine stuff and acts like charm every
time.-(Advt.)
