With the world rich in the autumn
nal glories Of green and gold and
seraphic blue, with air like wine and
with nature at the climax of her
middleaged glory, one rises with
heavy thoughts Of the coal bin and
the horrible cavity it presents and
forbiding that that chasm is doomed
to remain a cavernous waste. The
green and the gold and the blue and
the air like wine leave one untouch-
ed while shoulders are hunched at
| the first nip Of cold and memory be-
gins TO mind what that nip will be-
come three months hence. And the
coal bin continues 10 be a cavernous
waste.
But there's always the coal man.
he has been an ever ready help in
time Of frost and as the only pos
stble harbinger of hope in this coal
less and frosty situation, he is con-
suited.
II. L. Sherwood of the ]. A. Ches-
ley company thinks local conditions
are improving a, little in regard to
the amount of hard coal being re-
cetved in the local yards. There is
probably on hand about one fifth of
the normal supply of hard coal.
However people don't let it accumu-
late IN any amount. They order 1t
at once. In former years the aver
age householder would not allow a
ton Of coal to be delivered until the
lawn and garden were frozen but
this year is is not so. Almost ev-
erybody ordered their coal in April
and almost everybody isn't getting
1t. But even If there was coal the
lack of teamsters at the present
time makes an added difficulty in
distributing the questionable amount
on hand.
The Interior Lumber company
through its secretary, Harry T. AL
sop, thinks conditions are a bit bet
ter than they were a month ago,
but not enough to get up a celebra-
ton over. No more than one-tenth
of the normal supply is on hand
Magill & Co. find conditions no
better than they were a month ago
in the hard coal situation. A rough
estimate would put the amount Of
hard coal in the local yards at not
more than 200 or perhaps 800 tons.
But there is always Ignite. There
is scarcely any limit to the guam
tity that can be secured. also hardly
any limit to the amount that must
De IeQ INTO the NAV or little neat
er on a below zero day to give
warmth enough to huddle around
But it remains the thing that can
stand between North Dakota and a
pitiful death by freezing if the hard
coal situation doesn't ease up in the
opinion of all the dealers And there
is another comfort-if you ordered
a ton of hard coal and should be
fortunate enough to get tit would
be necessary to pay anywhere from
$3.50 to 1885 for it, but if you
ordered Ignite it would cost you in
Fargo $3.50, but the quoted rate in
Moorhead today was 1915. OF
course there is always to be con-
sidered the fact that it takes about
two times as much Ignite to produce
the same amount of heat as does one
ton of hard coal.
In the whole situation there re-
mains a further ray of comfort in
that we'll established health authori-
ties insist that between the choice
of being good and warm" and cold
and well, it is far better to accept
the latter,

'I wish to remind the threshermen
