Persistent rumors in Grand Forks

this coal was delivered to dealers In
Grand Forks.
Local coal dealers stated this after
noon that consumers were lombard

personal visits continuously all day.
The continual demands. for coal were
necessarily turned down in most cases
dueito the fact that there was no coal
not already sold available for delivery;
Although there are a few hundred
tons; OF coal in the sheds of local fuel
dealers the coal has. bee sold for
some little time and dealers have been
unable to- secure a sufficient supply to
satisfy the demand of local consumers.

FARMERS LEARN THE VALUE OF TRAILER
 IN THEIR BUSINESS

Great interest is being displayed by the farmers of this valley in trailers for use behind their passenger cars. The use of which has now become the universal custom in California, says c. w. Hartranft, distributor for the Utility trailers. Farmers cannot af- ford to be without trailers. l am a farmer and dairyman myself. I also raise cotton, pigs and sheep and from experience know the value of a trailer.
 T owned one year before l em- parked in this business-during that time I never had team on the road except to deliver cotton. I could not spare my trailer for that work as the gin would not unload promptly. How ever, I have been assured that the de- lay in unloading at the gin will not occur this season so the farmer with cotton to haul in the fall might as well get a trailer now and have the use of it during the spring and summer for other purposes.
 q hauled everything I raised last year to market except cotton as stated above, on a 1,500 lbs. capacity Utility trailer behind a Ford car; milk, hay an 1900 lbs. bull, dry cows for the butcher, pigs and sheep. The stock was delivered to destination without shrinkage which you know is a con- siderable item when animals are
