Coal at s~nportr.

AT Northern ports $4,000 tons Of
bunker coal were dumped today for
ships use. These ports had on hand
10000 tons ready for dumping. The
ships that have sailed have aided the
transportation situation generally by
taking freight from the crowded tide
water terminals.
AT Southern ports there are now
10000 tons of bunker coal on hand
and 100 600 additional tons are within
a short transportation distance NOV
ing rapidly toward the ports.
Loading Of ships at tidewater today
proceeded under pressure OF adverse
wea Their conditions. In most cases
frozen coal had TO be thawed before II
could be dumped. Snow and freezins-
weather generally hampered the hand

PUNTA GORDA MAINTAINS
It's Reputation for Patriotism and
Generosity

AS usual, Punta Gorda has gone
over her quota in the United War
Work Campaign, and the solicit
ors wish to thank the people of
this community for their hearty
cooperation and liberal donations
in this campaign, coming, as it
did, after the strenuous drive for
the Fourth Liberty Loan, but
Punta Gordans are noted for their
liberality and patriotism.
There was instituted a $4,000
club, which was originated and
was led by Capt. Fred Quednau
of this town, and the citizens
promptly took the proposition up
and the following subscribed 800
each:
Capt. Fred Quednau, Chadwick
Brothers, Punta Gorda Fish Co.,
West Coast Fish Co., William NJ.
Written, Mrs. Laura Reed, Pun
ia Gorda State Bank, First Ma
tional Bank, A. F. Dewey, J. III.
Hancock, Mrs, NJ. A. Meadow, G..
A. Dean.
There were several donations
of $4,000 and $500 each, more of
$1,000 and $500 each and a great
many of smaller amounts. The
Fourth Liberty Loan had taxed
the ability of our people quite
heavily, but in that they "went
over the top" by more than
100000, and in this last appeal
to their generosity and patriotism
they agan went over their assess
ment, this time by $4,000 They
undeniably have given as liberal
y and conscientiously as their
means allowed.
1t had been intended to publish
the names of all who contributed
in any amount to the success of
this last drive, but, for satisfac-
tory reasons, the committees de-
cided not to do so.

You Ungrateful Wretch!

Years ago, we came in daily
and pleasant contact with Daniel
G. Hoppin, a fine old Quaker
from Bloomington, His, who OBJ
served strictly the Scriptural IN
junction, "Let your communica-
ton be yea, yea, and nay, nay. :"
Walking along with him one
Thanksgiving day, we remarked,
Friend Hoppin, | really feel that
/ have many things to thank God
for
eyes" he answered.
"In the first place, ! am thank
full to Him that | am alive and
not dead. !"
Eyes" said he.
"In the second place, | thank
Him because | was born in this
grand country and am living I'M
der such a splendid and benefi-
cent system of government and
not under one of those old, cruel
tyrannies Of the eastern hemi-
sphere"
Eyes" was Friend Hoppin S
comment.
II thank Him also because | am
man and not a woman, white
man and not black man--that |
have health and friends, bread
and meat and a lot Of other bless
ings."
Here, Friend Hoppin broke his
rule and said, "That's what the
Pharisee thanked God for, WASH t
it? that he was not as other
men?"
That remark put damper on
the garrulity Of this writer; new
ertheless, he continues to be
thankful to this day for the bless
ings enumerated and he could, if
he would and had the time, space
and eloquence, add many more
blessings, some of them Of inesti-
mable value, to the list he gave to
Friend Hoppin in the long ago.
Surely we live in an age and in
a country overlooking with more
and greater blessings than were
even dreamed of fifty years ago
and, il there is a man who cannot
point out a number of these bless
ings and who does not feel pro-
foundly thankful for them, his
friends and neighbors, if he has
any, would be justified in point
ing the finger of scorn at him and
saying,
"You ungrateful wretch"
