then encountered this difficulty. All
the cargoed boats pass by Detroit and
do not dock there. AS a matter of
fact there is no place where they could
dock and no way in which coal could
be unloaded from vessel. They hired
tug, however, and found one place
of the harbor and found one place
where boat could tie up and then ar
ranged that it should have winter
headquarters at Detroit. They an
chored this vessel Is feet from the
dock and arranged to unload it by
using a locomotive crane. Inside of
4S hours that boat was in its place
and something like $500 tons had
been transferred to shore and were in
the bins of consumers who needed
that coal At the time he spoke 5000
tons had been removed. leaving about
four thousand tons in the hold OF the
vessel. z
Although they made arrangements
for two cargoes Of anthracite coal to
be delivered at Detroit, the state fuel
administrator, seeing that the jobbers
were getting credit for relieving De-
troit and that he was being left out,
decided that the jobbers should not
handle this coal. AS consequence
the boats lay in the Detroit river for
two weeks without Detroit getting any
coal and finally mass meeting OF cit
liens was held to condemn the state
fuel administration and to insist that
the jobbers should handle this coal
and move it. They proceeded to do SO.
| Mr.. Dubois then went on to explain
how Detroit is now organizing term
inal pool, built after the plan of the
Cleveland pool and he expects 1t to be
in operation at once. setting the date
as Jan. 10.
/ In response to question Mr.. Du-
Bots said that the jobbers got their
Is cents ton on contract coal which
they had turned over to the fuel ad-
ministrator, but did not make penny
out of handling the coal that was re-
ceived from the Russell yard and else
where and probably would lose money
on the 10,O0O-ton cargOes for which
they had advanced $65,0O0 and did not
make a cent out Of the handling of
the two cargoes d anthracite coal.

joe" the German want on, this
is funny, isn't it? l went back to
Germany to visit an aunt just before

relief work, which is being carried on.
X. c. huts have now been put up right

patriotic air" The graceful arrange
ments of the colored streamers and
pine boughs, represented a vast
amount of work done by the members
of the Junior class. The numerous
electric lights in the ball room were
also decorated, so as to cast soft rays
of the beautiful colors mentioned
above. The beautiful prom gowns add
ed brilliancy to the occasion.

delightful music for the occasion, the
program of dances being most invit.
ing. At $3.50 o'clock the grand march

William A. Green, an old and re-
spected citizen of Morgan City, died
suddenly at his home late last night.

served the city as a member of the
police force he gained a host of
friends and acquaintances both here
and in Berwick. He was a valued
member of the Woodmen of the

than calomel and without gripping or

Don't scold your fretful, peevish

When listless, pale, feverish, full
of cold, breath bad, throat sore,

has stomach-ache, indigestion, diar-

and fermenting food passes out of
the bowels and you have a well and
playful child again. Children love
this harmless s'fruit laxative" and
mothers can rest easy after giving it.,
because it never fails to make their
little 'insides" clean and sweet.
Keep it handy, Mother. A little
given today saves sick child tomor-

druggist for a bottle of "California
Syrup Of Figs" which has directions
for babies, children of all ages and
for grown-ups plainly on the bottle.
Remember there are counterfeits sold
here, 50 surely look and see that
yours is made by the "California Fig
