COAL DEALERS ARE
UNDER WATCHFUL EYE

Regulating the delivery Of coal,
and the coal dealing business. in gen

heretofore enjoyed by the coal dealer.
Every fifteen DAYS they are told how
much coal TO deliver a customer, the
price 70 charge and the profit they are

were allowed TO supply a customer
sne-half Of his need. but during the
present week the order has gone forth
that each customer Is t0~be supplied
with one load-two and a half tons

users. BY this arrangement where a
customer uses five tons o season he

PARTRIDGE EXHIBIT
FOR STATE MUSEUM

An addition to the exhibits in the
State museum has juss been COM
pleted and practically all who have
seen it pronounce it the best piece of
work yet done in that line by Thomas
A. James, curator of The museum.
1t is another of the habitat groups
and shows the Maine partridge in all
its beauty. The case IS on the rear
of the famous moose exhibit and in
line with the shore birds case. It
mea sures about by 10 feet.
1t contains two pairs Of partridges
and they look as natural and Elusive
a birch limb, budding. Another male
is strutting, on the ground. One
female is teaching a little one, just
out of the shell, to eat and the other
female is calmly looking on. They
are all handsome specimens.
The painted and natural back
ground is one Of the features for so
skilfully is it done that it is difficult
to tell where nature stops and imi-
tation hegins--in fact, an observer
was overheard to say that the leaves
on the birch were well preserved and
wondered how it was done. Tom
made those leaves out Of wax.
The BACKGROUND shows the edge of
pine grove, with birches scattered
on the edge of a field end a large
fallen tree in front Distance is re-
markedly well portrayed. The near
by ground shows various shrubs and
plants, including the wild cherry,
FERNS bunch berries, Solomon's seal
and dogtooth violet, with just plain
dirt and grass. The nest with its IL
unmatched eggs at the foot of the
birch tree is very natural in appear
ance and the broken shell from which
the tiny partridge has lust come. lies
at one side. If your eyes will tell
you which is natural and which is
wax in the foliage ana shrubs. you
will do better than most of those who
have so far tried it.
Mr.. James has now begun on
another habitat group. which will fill
the remaining space on that side and
the same size as the partridge group,
showing the woodcock IN their native
haunts and it will doubtless be as
lifelike and correct as the others.

pose IS to enable every soldier to OBJ
tain promptly at least a part OF his
monthly pay regardless of where he
may be, whether in Il hospital or
with some organize ton other than his
own.
The pay book" system is in use In
the British army. The sum of $3.50
a month has been fixed as the mini
mum which a soldier should have for
his personal wants every month and
it would be given TO him on his de-
mand
Each three or four months there
, would be general accounting. at
which his total pay. his insurance and
other allotments, his Liberty Lo2n
subscriptions and other items would
be cast up, together with his monthly
drafts The balance then due him
would be put at his disposal.
The soldier would have the ad-
vantage Of being able at all times
and under all circumstances to draw
something from any quartermaster in
whose district he might find himself.
The proposed system would elm
mate the present necessity of having
on hand each soldiers service record
whenever he draws any money. Tho
service record system, designed for
times Of peace, does not take into ac-
count the frequent shifts which all
military men must be prepared for.
In many instances nowadays it works
hardships on individual men who are
transferred faster than their service
records can follow them and who
consequently cannot draw their
money when il is due. merely be-
cause the formahties cannot be com
piled with,
The proposed new system appeals
as specially advantageous for camps
where there are constantly large
numbers of sUals'-strays be-
longing to dozens and scores of or
CARNATIONS waiting to join their out
fits yet unable to draw what money
is due them until tho service records
! have caught UP to them.
