Lancaster County Cabbages
Worth as Much as Tobacco

Mt. Joy, Pa. Oct. 2s.-Winfield 8.
Stoner' of Eden township, who was
among the very first in this section
to grow cabbage to any extent, has
peen shipping his crop for the last
week. 1t is a fairly large one and
OF good quality. He is receiving $40
ton for it, which is an advance In
price since he first began to raise
t. Years ago he sold it as low as
SS a ton and when it went to $40 IT
was considered good price. At pres
ent prices an acre of cabbage is
about as profitable as an acre of to-
pacco. 1t is not as much trouble to
raise ana the farmer gets his money
out of it much sooner.

PRICE OF COAL
MAY BE REDUCED
LATE IN SPRING
Dealers Will Make Decrease on
All Sizes but Pea if They
Can Secure Shipment

Providing shipments can be made and
local coal dealers can receive the coal.
Harrisburg residents will receive the
usual spring reduction of fifty cents
per ton on all grades of coal, with the
exception of pea, which will remain
practically the same. This announce
ment was made this morning by local
coal dealers.
]. B. Montgomery stated this morn
ing that in all probability the reduc-
tion will not take effect before May l.
as the dealers are stocked with high
price coal, which was secured to pro-
tect their customers.
He said: Dealers will be able to
grant the usual fifty cent reduction
providing the coal can be received.
eral smaller Independent ones, have
issued a reduction and these are ex-
pected to follow the Reading and Iron
Coal Company, which is one of the
largest anthracite producing concerns
in the country. There is, however.
one barrier and that is the receiving
of the coal. If the local dealers can
not get the coal they certainly cam
not reduce the price.
War Would Stop Mines
I'VE have no assurance from the op-
orators that we will receive the coal
and therefore cannot guarantee the re-
duction. In case war should be de-
clared the price of coal will not be
lowered, as the mines would be tied
up. The Miners brotherhood has pledg-
ed its membership to the President in
case of war and this would practically
take all the men out of the mines"
Should the reduction be granted the
retail price on the various grades will
be: Hard grades-Egg. $6.4O; stove.
S6.65; nut, 6.75 and soft grades--Egg.
S6.s5; stove, s7.25; nut, s7.15. Pea coal
will not be lowered in price as the
consumption Is greater than the sup
ply. This is due to the fact that many
manufacturing plants have been us
ing this grade of coal for steam pur-
