Coal Facts NO.2

The coal production at the present
time is perhaps 60 per cent. of nor
NAL production. We have had a
warm Winter; consumption has been
comparatively light. On April LIST,
however, We entered upon a new year
in coal matters.
If the normal quantity of coal is
to be produced during the next
twelve months, it is plain that dur
ing the Spring and Summer when
conditions of mining are best and
conditions of transportation least
liable to interference, and CONDI-
TIONS OF RETAIL DELIVERY
MOST ECONOMICAL, at least SO per
cent. of years tonnage should be
mined and distributed.
The patriotic citizen will do his
part during these Reconstruction
days as willingly as he did during
war times, and will order his coal
and receive it 20 the best of his
ability during the next six months.
By so doing he will make it possible
best service at MINIMUM COST.

PIebiscite For SchIeswig.

Pc Copenhagen.-'rhe clause in the
peace treaty with Germany providing
for plebiscite in Southern -Schleswls
is causing much excitement in Den
mark. Dissatisfaction is reflected ia
the newspapers, which declare the
population Of the district is composed
of Germans, whom Denmark does not
desire, as their presence within the
country would lead to future racial
conflict. The Political Committee or
the Rigsdag, after comforting with the
Government, has telegraphed to the
Danish Minister at Paris that the Gov
eminent and the Rigsdag insist in this
connection on the enforcement of the
principle of nationality.
