BUY COAL NOW

The United States Geological Survey has been sounding for weeks warning the public must heed. It is that there shortage of coal and that there is grave danger of this necessary fuel during the coming winter.
 The reasons for the shortage of coal various, but the fundamental is lack of orders from the consuming public. The human mind is prone to for get the discomfort of the past in the comfort of the present The coal troubles of 1917 in the background, the is here, why worry about the future? It must be realized that coal cannot be stored in large quantities in the mines It has be moved when taken from the ground Unless there orders the operators cannot keep their mines at capacity output.
 The people of this city have vital concern in the coal situation. They must have coal for their public utility. and lighting plants and above all for their homes. They cannot, they must not wait. garding the future with optimistic expectation They must put in their orders to get the mines oper atng their full capacity mine labor being employed and therefore disposed to remain at work and utilize railroad facilities which are available now
 Don't shrug your shoulders when you read this Don't gamble the future. Provide against the winter cold and order your coal today.

The repeal of the time prohibition act must be complete not at all The president set it aside in it's entirety, but he cannot set it aside with respect to light wines and beer only. Congress can not repeal it in part indulge in any other legisa ton with respect it except a Congress originally could not have enacted it except as a war measure, for it kind of legislation which belongs only the states and could have been given nationwide scope only by amendment of the constitution
 While technically at and will be until the treaty has been ratified there hardly be additional legislation any legislation of nation wide scope modifying existing legislation.

The total amputations among Amer ican soldiers in the war was under 4000: the total in American industrial plants EVERY YEAR is 26,000.
 During and since the war much was said about reconstruction of broken bodies" the teaching of new avoca- tions to men crippled so that they could not return to their old jobs. This is fine,
 But let us, also, consider the wound ed in industry, the legs and arms lost in feeding, clothing, houseing, warm ing the people of this country. Let us reconstruct those unfortunates. too.
 While doing all we can for the 4,000, let us not forget the annual 26,O00 toll of arms or legs.

COBW E BS

Cobwebs are all right for a spider to gallivant about on, but they haven't much prestige in 1919 business or on the brain.
 Cobwebs are a symbol of careless ness. Nothing so embarrasses a housewife as to have her friend dis cover cobwebs in the corners of the rooms of her home.
 Cobwebs in business are a sign of methods and manners of doing busi- ness that are antiquated. They are out of date. They are behind the times.
 Cobwebs on the brain mean sluggish thinking and. ideas that have long passed their period of usefulness.
 Ambition in all three cases is the broom that will keep the cobwebs brushed clean from the walls.
 If your ambition is bit jaded, give it vacation or a tonic, then go after the cobwebs and clean them out-and keep them out.

The Legislative Journal

It will cost sl,6OO complete the legislative jour nal-that do the work all over again. if the journal is be of any value a record. Already more than g. 900 been expended since the legis lature adjourned on this work, about ten times much, we are informed it had cost before, and unless $16OO thrown in, the s7,OOO will all have been wasted.
 will be necessary if to have journal for put type again at s19S page. We may inquire what there to be done in the beginning? What there about it to engage the attention of a whole platoon of clerks for period of nearly four months?
 The journal is supposed to be nothing but com pilation the of the proceedings from day to day The minutes were read and corrected every morning and printed copies laid the desk of each member. At the time of the adjournment of the legislature, there should have been nothing for the clerks do but bring the last days proceed ings up after that read the proof of the journal
 Surely enough paid for clerical expenses while the legislature was in session. Clerks stumbled over another in the two houses in the committee room and the lobbies Whenever another deserving soul the right party the right faction of the right party the committees patronage dis covered a vacancy. The clerical abuse became more fragrant than before in the record of Arizona legislatures and it has turned out there greater clerical inefficency than before
 We have before called attention to that appropra- tion of $1OOOO, which evidently intended for ab sorption the preparation of the journal though do suppose member in five realized that when he voted for it. The other four had some vague idea that it was actually intended for contingent" ex- penses already incurred in the session. They never imagined that it intended to meet the expenses of four months session of a lot of clerks in per forming work that supposed have been already done.
 Now have the result-several hundred pages of a so-caned legislative journal aboundng in typographical and of omission; so by ridiculous ncompetency in every page that is absolutely worthless record of legislative proceedings.
 But if it S let alone it will have a certain value, which would be destroyed by any attempt to correct it. The journal should be accepted just as it is and presented monument to the way have been doing things. copy should be laid the desk of each member of the next legislature If any money is to be expended the journal it should be applied the production of many copies of it as possible that there might be the greatest possible distribution of it the citizens of the state, but the utmost care should be taken that no copy is sent without the state
 As horrible example, the journal as it is will be most powerful incentive to reform of methods of voting away thousands of dollars without knowing what the money is be spent for In the end it will probably result in the saving of large sums
 We think it would be mistake to spend any more money in the correction of the journal"

A tiny thrill shook me-and told me, once more, that Bob and l were made for each other.
 Only Bob didn't knew me, of course. He couldn't guess that he had ever held that shabby little figure before. He had no idea that he had ever seen the little messenger girl except when she had brought him Easter flowers.
