Why Coal Is Cash

i. Because the profit of the retail dealer is small, and he is compelled to reduce bookkeep- ing collecting and other overhead expenses. (The average profit of retail coal dealers in this district is about 35 cents per ton; with some dealers it is much less.
 2. Because the coal dealer must have cash in order to continue in business. Formerly he could buy from the mines on the basis of 60 and 90 days payment Now the mines require short settlement and freight bills are absolute ly cash.
 The fact of greatest interest to the consumer, however, is that cash coal means CHEAPER COAL for him. He is getting the benefit of the economics which the retail coal dealer is forced to practice.

women's Community Club Organized
at Pomonkey.

On Friday, September 5, 1919, a most
interesting meeting of the women Of
Pomonkey was held at the school house
at Bryan's Road. The purpose Of the
meeting was the organization Of COM
munity club in that district.
Miss Margaret Smith, District Home
Demonstration Agent for Southern
Maryland, was present and talked on
the purpose and activities of women's
clubs. After her talk there followed a
lively discussion of the things this
particular group of women could do in
the coming months. Naturally the
first thing 10 do was to effect an or
ganization and this was quickly done.
Mrs Thos. Lynch was elected Presi-
dent: Miss Louise Murphy, Vice-Pres-
dent, and Mrs. 7. F. Downs, Seere-
Treasurer. A committee was
then appointed to draw up Constitu-
ton to be submitted for adoption by
the members of the club. According
to this constitution, since adopted, the
name OF their organization is 1.-THE
Pomonkey District Club" Stated
broadly, has as its purpose the better
ment of home and community life. At
the next meeting the subjects to be dis
cussed in the coming months will be
outlined. These subjects will deal
with the various phases of rural life,
such as cooperation with the schools,
the improvement OF country roads,
household sanitation, identifying the
country home and grounds, proper
feeding OF the family, music, books,
and pictures in the home, hot lunches
in the rural schools, child welfare, and
in fact any other questions which are
of interest to the wide-awake American
woman of today.
The club will meet once a month,
meetings TO be held alternately at Po-
monkey and Bryan's Road The next
meeting will be at 300 O'Clock, We'd
nesday, October LIST, at the home of
Mrs. Thomas Lynch. Every woman in
the community is cordially invited to
be present and it is to be hoped that

operate by becoming members and so
not miss any of the good things
planned for the winter.

ORDER OF PUBLICATION.
in the Circuit Court for Charles County,
Maryland, in Equity.
No. 1886 Equity.
John Munson, Plaintiff,
Maggie Munson. pefendant.

The object OF this suit is to obtain
divorce a vincula Matrimonn by the
Plaintiff from the Defendant. The Bill
alleges that the parties intermarrled on
or about the goth day of June, 1892,
and that there have been born OF said
marriage four children, all OF whom
are at present residing in Washington
City, District of Columbia. That the
Plaintiff has resided for more than four
years Immediately preceding the filing
Of this Bill in Charles County, Mary
land. That though the conduct OF the
Plaintiff towards the Defendant has al
ways been kind, affectionate and above
reproach, the Defendant has without
any Just cause or reason abandoned and
deserted him and declared her intention
to live with him no longer, and that
such abandonment is deliberate and final
and has continued uninterruptedly fot
more than four years, and that the sep
aration of the parties is beyond any
reasonable expectation OF reconciliation.
That the Defendant, Maggie Munson,
is a nonresident OF this State and re-
sides in Washington City, District OF
Columbia.
II IS therefore ordered by the Oncut
Court for Charles County in Equity,
this 21st day of August, 1919, that the
plaintiff, by causing copy OF this order
to be inserted in some newspaper, pub
lished in Charles County, once week

to the said absent Defendant OF the
object and substance of this bill, order
ing her to be and appear in this Court
in person or by solicitor, on or before
the 18th day OF October, 1919. to show
cause, il any she may have, why de
cree ought not to be passed as prayed
