SECULAR pigs. We love the mud, the
great and glorious mud, the nice, oozy
mud. the soft, dark, sGuashy mud

pigs In their squealing voices.

You don't say?" inquired Mrs.
Pinky Pig. ''Tell US about II, my

''Why, I've been told" continued
Miss Ham. that every child or person

Grandfather Porky.

The following by Fuel Administra.
tor Russell describes the methods of
price fixing:
1--WE secure report from the local
fuel commits 'ion giving the, retailers
closest possible cost of doing business
In that locality and recommending n
retail price estimated on the cost of
doing business IN that locality and
recommending a retail price estimated
ON the cost of doing business. Inas-
much as freight ratesin this state vary
as much as fifty cents from the mines
to different cities and the average cost
of teaming coal varies in different
c mmunities it is our practice to check
up recommendations furnished by the
local fuel committee and in whatever
few cases ne essary change the figures
recomm ended by them.
alt is cur purpose as far as possible
to see that the profits per ton realized
by the retail dealers are about the same
in one locality as another. The prices
in the larger cities are figured by
assuring IL profit above all expenses
of between 80 and 40 cents a ton,
which does not seem to MS excessive.
1.-THE situation is still further COM
plicated in a number of cities OH l. nR
Island Sound which receive nearly
their entire coal supply from barges
which tow the ceal from New York
piers. A number of these cities mani
fest natural surprise and curiosity at
the announcement of new prices be-
cause in many cases 1t has been neces-
sary to make the new prices higher
than the existing prices.
1.-THE reason for this is the material
increases made in towing rates. New
Haven s paying a towing rate of rs
cents as against 5S cents paid last
year. New London's rate is 81. 30 COM
pared to a previous rate of 10 oents. In
addition to the increase In towing
rates there has been a very large in.
crease in demurrage rates which are
considerably more than doubled. 1t is
my personal belief that some rates
especially the demurrage rates are
higher than necessary.
