In some such words Grant spoke to Lee at Appomattox
and began right there the work Of making new nation
Of America
The great captain Of the Union armies thought not of
red tape but OF the instant need Of things.
Apropos Of the sales Of army mules, artillery horses
and other animals by the army: Why couldn't the boys

treated as well by the government today Grant treated
the remnants OF the thin gray line?
And the trucks which are now rusting and rottins
while Congress wrangles and wriggleswhy couldn't they

To Feel the Pinch Of

With a coal strike threatened to

ton will be pinched II available
supplies are not laid away.
This was the consensus of opinion
voiced last night by representative
coal dealers here. who warn all to
be prepared for the worst.
While some dealers say that
Washington has been wise in lay
ing away for a rainy day." there
are others who say that the public
has not taken heed and is waiting
until the last moment to stock up
the basement for the coming win
ter.
Notwithstanding. all coal dealers
interviewed stated they had suffi-
cient on hand for present needs and
were filling all orders.
''Of course II the strike comes
and we cannot anticipate what will
come about any moro than anyone
else-Washington will be able to
run about two weeks and then have
to quit" said W. w. Griffith, of the
Griffith Company. Best be pre-
pared for the worst" he said warn
ingly.

in, and haven't kept anyone walt

II cannot see how coal can go
down any more in price," said an
other dealer. TT Is a fallacy to
anticipate a dropping in price. The
price now paid. approximately $50
per ton greater than the prices last
year. Is scarcely able to cover pro-
ducing expenses. I would advise
any who are waiting for a drop in
price to get busy, and stock up.
