Washington Chuck Full.
Washington has a surplus popu-

tons are hard to secure, Mr.. Porter
field says.
"Of course a large number OF
these are connected with the vari-

East Has Much Snow.
The east has more snow than ever
before, and 1t lies to a depth of two
feet or more in Maryland and West
Virginia, Mr.. Porterfield says.
THE snow isn't melting either.
When was a boy and lived in West
Virginia, we used to get snow, but it
invariably would melt the next day.
The coal situation is a problem, too.
North Dakota is fortunate in the
matter of fuel compared to the east"
En- route to Fargo, Mr.. Porterfeld
visited a brother at Hagerstown,
Md, and another brother at Mar
tinsburg, w. Va, where he was born.
Martinsburg Is the city in which n.
