The common talk of householders who from coal yard

pect the price OF coal going to be advanced and that the
refusal TO sell coal except to old customers is part of
scheme to reap an extra profit little later in the winter
No one can blame for thinking such thoughts
when ne reads the statements based information from
the fuel administration that Washington about to
ample supply of COAL For when he reads these statements
he naturally thinks the time has to fill up the long
empty coal bin Following this deusion he learns that he
cannot get coal unless he has been old customer He

Washington to allow part of its population to freeze to
death SO that there will be less people to warm and thus
conserve fuel.
The bitterness of the people who believe they being
played with Washington should be warning to the heads

For many years worked In my
own small way to drive these truths
home to the brains Of men and
women who gamble on the most
faithful and lovsble animal that
treads this big football-and extend
the right hand OF fellowship to you
with a deeper feeling Of gratitude
than such commonplace things as pen

in putting the spotlight" In such
a position as will uncover the empty

But even suppose that one is
the bearer of the heaviest and
most sorrowful tale that can be
told. there is nothing TO be gained
by beating about the bush. Sooner
or later the stark facts must be
known, and a swift, sharp thrust
is always easier to bear than a
prolonged and dragged-out agony.
There is a quality of resistance in
the mental fibre of most of US
which increases according to the
force of the blow.
All that we want when bad
news comes our way is, if people
would only understand it, to know
the worst and to know it at once;
for our imaginations can usually
picture blacker things than any
we are likely to encounter.
This does not necessarily mean
that one should club a person
over the head with a blunt, brutal
statement Of catastrophe, unpref-
