COAL AND THE AUTO INDUSTRY
Just as a host Of people had decided
that a falling off in the demand for
autos might be experienced this season
along comes the fuel stringency and the
taking of of host of trains from the
railroads to impart an impetus to the
use Of the auto. Uncertainty about trains
Is said to have reached even to the
Florida winter resorts. With the rail-
roads forced to reduce their passenger
service. 1t is not surprising that tourists
would rather rely upon their motor cars
for their pilgrimage in the South. Many
tourists are considering 1t patriotic
duty to winter in Florida. where little
or no coal Is required. and where the
greater portion Of all food consumed is
grown in the State. A northern farmer
can journey to Florida in his oliver"
after his harvest is gathered in October
and November. plant a crop in that
State by Christmas. anad dispose of 1t

times that all Of our people know Of his

Burlington and vicinity heard Congress-

from the battlefront in France and from
our Vermont boys. He stirred the emo

previously been stirred, and Congressman
