SHORTAGE OF CARS
MAKES COAL SCARCE
Gov. Graham Urges Use of Wood-If
You Must Have Coal Take It When
You Can Get It.

MONTPELIER, April 27-Coal has
received SO much publicity from day
to day and week 70 week that the real
situation may not be clearly under
stood, In compliance with requests to
give his view of the coal situation,
Governor Graham makes the following
statement:
Car shortage is responsible for the
coal situation. There IS enough coal
and there are miners enough Miners
stick to the mines as farmers stick to
the soil. Not Just since the war be-
gan, but for several years, there have
not been enough railroad coal ears TO
give the majority of miners employ
ment for more than an average of four
days per week. Next to the ear short
age is the lack of sufficient motive
power to haul the increased tonnage
required by the war. The coal mines
are not located at tidewater Coal
carried by water has to be hauled by
rail to river or seaport Then after
being handled on and off barge. is
again shipped by rail to inland destina-
tons. The towage available for mann
featuring coal is greatly reduced be
cause many tugs ana barges have been
required to coal ships.
The cost and delay of transporting
coal is considerably increased in winter
All persons who arrange to burn wood
or reduce the consumption OF coal, VIII
render patriotic service. BY so doing,
fewer railroad ears will be required to
haul coal. Those who absolutely have
10 have coal, should get it whenever
they can and make exceptional effort
to unload coal cars at the earliest pos.
Sible moment.
To sum up, transportation conditions
make coal scarce; use wood If you can

take it when YOU can get II

educational law under which German
was being taught in about half the
graded public schools in the state.
The legislature has Just enacted a
law under which all German teachers
must obtain special permit from the
state council Of defence The law is
intended To prevent German preachers
from teaching school until they have
been invest gated and found to be loyal.
Three hundred citizens of Hall coun-
ty have been called before the council
OF defence to defend themslvs against
charges Of pro -Germanism.
One hundred and seventy five banEs
in the state have not taken a dollar S
worth of Liberty bonds nor have they
made 4 donation to the Red Cross.
Five preachers of German Lutheran
churches in Lincoln have been called
upon BY the chamber of commerce of
that city to resign because they refused
to attend q Liberty loan mass meeting
The preachers said they could not sit
| on a platform with Jewish rabbi and
n Catholic priest.
Mrs. Margaret Sarby, Lithuanian
packing house employe, was attac ked
by other packing house women because
she insulted the American flag and said
| she hoped the Germans would kill al
| the American soldiers.
| The Rev. George Allenbach. for q
| years pastor of a German Lutheran
church at Lincoln, last week was forced
to resign his pulpit and leave the city
fear of bodily harm causing his resig
nation. His house was smeared with
yellow paint,
At Germantown, Neb., Louis Nieu
boiler, wealthy farmer, was called
| from his home and smeared with tar
! He was accused of making disloyal re
marks and advising against the pur
chase of Liberty bonds.
These are just a few of the many
cases which indicate the rising tide o
wrath against pro- Germans. The stat,
council of defence is using its utmos
efforts TO keep down such attacks, bu
the sentiment is rapidly CROWN;
stronger and gives every evidence o
getting beyond control.

One German prisoner had a rough ex.

Reduction In The
 Price of Dry Goods
Beal-Burrow Company of Little Rock Shows Lower Prices Recently Announced.

There has been lot said in the papers lately about government price regulations of dry goods, but at this time no prices have been promulgated except on 36 inch brown sheeting, which price we promptly and gladly met on the 2Oth of July and since that time have been billing out at the price the goods were sold for, as follows:
 Panama A. sheeting l53ct
 Walhalla A sheeting 1Stct Columbia A sheeting 2Oct Velvet A sheeting 2lct
 These prices are 3 to cents per yard lower than before government made prices.
 All goods billed prior to July 20 must stand as sold. In this connection, we would like to see prices reduc d all along the line, and we are perfectly willing at all time to sell thimes to sell them on a small profit on the replace ment cost. If dry goods were now reduced we would still have this small profit and it would stablaIze our business and your IS well.
 In looking over the list of our tremendous stock, we find few things which we can easily sell to other jobbers for great deal more money than we will offer
 hem to you. We reserve right the to accept or reject any orders either in the house or on the road. In fact we don't want O much business on these items at at these prices and they are made for stock on hands only.
