COAL SITUATION ACUTE

The coal situation in Lancaster has
become acute and il the farmers Of
the county and the citizens Of the town
are not extremely conservative with
what they have on hand. we will have
a coal famine here in less than a week.
Fuel Administrator II. c. Kaufman
is doing everything in his power to re-
lieve the situation and is holding the
dealers down to very small margin Of
profit; and to make the matters worse.
many Jf the dealers that have been
handling coal in this city for number
Of years have layed down on their jobs
and are making practically no effort to
secure coal. Only one firm in town has
any coal this morning. and that only a
few bushels Of slack. This frm is
making every effort in their power to
relieve the situation and are handling
the coal at virtually no profit to them
and after today will limit all sales to
Is bushels to a home. The farmers
who can burn wood had better begin
using 1t and in that way the homes in
town. where no wood can be secured,
NAV be supplied.
That we are on the eve of a coal
famine, there can be no doubt.
