Buy Your Coal Direct
 From Mine-Big Saving

The high cost of coal is thing of the past! At least, there are no complaints on this account-since the removal of government restric- tions-among those who have learn cd how to buy coal. The way to buy coal is to getfTit direct from the mines. This saves several middle mems profits. It saves hauling ex- pcnses. Anyone can now buy at mine prices, whether carload buyer or one who uses only 10 or 15 tons a year. This has been made pos sible through a plan evolved by a large and old-established concern, THE BERNICE COAL COMPANY, with main offices at 440 Como build ing, Chicago.
 This company has thousands of customers in various sections of the United States who receive all of their coal direct from the mines. These customers are pleased not on- ly because of the many dollars they save every year, but also because of the quality of coal they are getting. Many write they have never before had coal that makes so little dust, that burns so we'll and leaving so few ashes. If you are a coal user whether you use hard or soft coal, much or little--it will be greatly to your advantage to write the Bcrnice Coal company at once for prices, stat ing kind and quantity of coal you use.

The topic of the day, H. C.. L. is the conservation in which we all take part, be we lowly laborers or capi- talsts, we are deeply concerned. We have our pet theory as to why, and our own specific remedy. However, in all our discussions we ultimately come to the prosaic conclusion that "it takes all we can make to eke out our existence"
 Some of the ways and means are pointed out by our citizenship may solve the problem: in the meantime
 ideas and fads will come and go, and we vii continue on our "joy Cess ride" be in aprons or overalls. Seriously, though, the clothing contest" which the Texas schol girls will stage in Austin, promises to be

Impression Of Republican Gathering.

An interesting inside view of the work
ings of the convention machinery as it
operated at Chicago early this month was
revealed TO the members of the Young
Mems Republican Club by Judge Daniel

Judge Hastings was particularly critical
of the keynote speeches made by the
nomnators Of the various candidates,
going so far IN some cases as TO attribute
the failure 10 secure more favorable
hearing if not the nomination itself, 10
inadequate presentation Of the claimants

All the speeches we're too long, for one
thing. the speaker said. That made IN
favor Of johnson struck him, as the
weakest effort, while that made in sup
port Of Harding was the most meritorious.
Previous to judge Hastings report

platform and ratified the candidates

consisting nf Weller T. Slower, Harold
