Your Auto 4 b G.
By OTTO KRANK
HAVE 'EM HALF SOLED.

You don't throw away pair Of
shoes when the sole is worn through.
You don't need 10 throw away an au-
tomobile tire because the rubber is
worn off.
II you've been careful about having
the tire always properly inflated so
that IL has no rim cuts, and il you do
not allow 1t TO run on the fabric, after
the rubber is worn off. you can have
the tire retreaded just as you would
have your shoes half-soled.
The rubber on your auto tire has
nothing to do with holding the air
pressure. 1t only protects the fabric
which is woven for that purpose.
Then II you've had no blowouts, the
fabric is just as good after the rubber
has worn thin as II was before.
The cost Of retreading is nominal
and many Of the concerns which make
this work a business now give a def
mite guarantee Of continued service for
the retreaded tire.
But IL sand pockets have been ne

Great quantities OF sweet corn are now
being shipped from this station, the
brokers here paying on an average OF
s225 per crate for II.
Huckleberrles are still coming in and
bring S. per 32-quart crate. The crop
in this section has been exceedingly
large and high prices have been the
rule all season. Cantaloupes, which
are grown in lower Caroline extensive
ly, have commenced to come In and are
selling for SO to $3.50 at the station.
A few years ago 1t was the rule
among the farmers to ship practically
all they grew on consignment but 1t Is
not so today. 1t Is just the opposite.
They sell nearly everything at the sta
ton TO the brokers and receive the
money as soon as the produce is de-
liyered.

SHORTAGE IN COAL
l25,OO1,OOO TONS
Situation Threatens to be
More Serious Next Winter
Than in 1917
DIR. GARFIELD COMES
IN FOR CRITICISM

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Coal pro
duction in the United States this year
wilrbe i25,OO0OOO tons short Of the de-
mand, and unless extensive buying is
stimulated Immediately in order to in
crease production, the fuel shortage viii
be more serious this coming winter
than II was at any time in 1917 or 1918.
That is the substance Of the testimony
given yesterday by George II. Cushing
managing director OF the American
Wholesale Coal Association, to the
House committee on rules, which Is
considering the MacGregor and liuddle-
stone resolutions calling for an inves-
tigatlon Of the present prices and prob
able shortage OF coal
Let there be no misunderstanding as
to the real situation" said Mr.. Cush-
ing. what was produced before April
has been burned. Since then produc-
ton has been at rate which indicates
we are falling short OF meeting the de-
mand by at least t25,0O0000 tons this
J year. From now until the crops begin
30 move the carriers can make up a part
offhis shortage. After the crops start
moving the railroads will have some
thing to carry besides ceal. Then,
when we need coal, the most the rail-
roads will be least able TO haul IL. II
we don't move coal now we may not
be able 10 move It at all. Racing
against coal shortage we have only two
months In which TO win"
Legislation looking to the control OF
prices or production cannot afford re-
lief. The present situation is due en-
tirely TO the apathy of the public in
buying both hard and soft coal. Gov
ernment control would be futile to meet
this apathy. The only remedy Is a
stimulation OF production by a con-
sumers demand for coal"
The witness said there is plenty OF
coal in the ground and sufficient minersl
available to produce IT," but that the
"public must now furnish the third
point TO the triangle by demanding and
buying It,"
Discussing the question OF regulating
fuel prices by governmental pressure, /
Mr. Cushing said:
~ should like to emphasize that the
public has the power to regulate to an
appreciable degree the price OF coal by
buying and storing during the next
twelve weeks, coal needed for house
hold and commercial purposes next
fan and winter. Otherwise the natural
effect OF the demand which will begin
about the first Of October, will start
prices upward almost at once for the
limited amount of coal that will then
be above ground.
A few shots were taken by the wit !
ness at the fuel administration under
DR.. Harry Garfield. He declared the
fuel administrator had tried to reverse :
the natural economic law.
Doctor Garfield openly espoused the
theory that coal production could not
be increased. Since no more coal could
be produced. It was his theory that the
burden OF the inevitable shortage should
be eduitably distributed, and, further
that prices should be so fixed as to re-
verse economic law where demand ex-
ceeds supply.
Late in the spring OF 1918 Doctor
Garfield began to stimulate production
by advocating that the people store coal
in spring and summer months, while 1t
could be moved"
