the output of anthracite coal, even
though there are $4,000 fewer mine
workers than in 1918, is shown by the
contracts let by the Lehigh Coal &
Ma, igation company, amounting to
Sl.300.000, covering additional mine
Developments and two modern steel
breakers. one at Caska William, where
an old eollierv Will he reopcned tht

averages $4,000 tons day.
For the first time since zero weathe
conditions handicapped the output, an
! tEracitc production today reached it
maximum, about 275.00o tons per day
Shipments from the mines are movin,
very smoothly, but there still exist
difficulty getting coal to New Englan

So earnest is the desire OF the opcl

Like the proud Miss Mcbride, who
was proud of her pride Brattleboro
points to its war chest as a fine ex-
hibition of patriotic spirit in raising
upwards of $4,000 to aid worthy war
causes. Two thousand eight hundred
and thirty nine subscribers means that
81 to 40 per cent of the people of the
town are actually enrolled, or approx
imately two persons for every family
and the average subscription is $3.50
to SO per capita. The Reformer takes
satisfaction in the result, as its col
umns produced the barrage of publicity
which prepared the people of the town
to go over the top when the signal was
given. Brattleboro Is the first com
munity i'll the state to provide a wal
chest. II other towns and cities wisl
to avoid duplication of effort and al
the same time be prepared for any cal
that may be made, men who worked
for weeks in systematizing the cam

The loss of 1000 milch cows IN the

probably is not as bad as the figures
indicate until they are explained. It
is true that some farmers have given

get help, but in many eases farmers
have improved the quality of their
stock. The "boarders cows that
