Historical Floats for Armistice Dav

Every one welcomes the decision of the pa
rade committee to confine representations on
floats to historical topics Our history, munich
PAL state and national, is rich in incidents that
accommodate themselves readily to representa-
ton on float The mantle of secrecy which has
been thrown about the ideas that will be repre-
sented is also good move. 1t will keep the in
terest pitched to high key.
In recent years this country has taken COM
nlendable interest in pageantry. The centennial
celebrations of many cities and states brought
it's use to the foreground sharply and it has re-
n,ained there. The public has been educated to
expect meritorious displays and gives it's ap-
proval to cleverly executed designs.
In passing it may be noted that the Rich
rond public should forget it's staid and conserva-
tive habit of mind when the parade proceeds on
Main street Armstce Day. Seldom does the
throng of spectators applaud striking and hand
some displays, or cheer section of marchers.
1t was so during the patriotic parades a few
years ago. The crowds were not cold or apathetic
in their patriotism. Quite the contrary. They
were loyal to the core. But they were unable to
break through their crust of conservatism and
restraint to indulge in the hearty applause and
cheering that should have greeted the paraders,
This is municipal habit that should be- fore
saken. Armistice Day stands for great prin-
cipe, for noble idea, for an exalted theme Let
our hearts be filled with the patriotic spirit of
the day and our mouths show the fervor of our
souls by applause and shouts.
When the service men come swinging down
Main street, there isn't voice that should not
meet the former fighters with shouts and cheers
They went into the service gladly and willingly
They fought with the spirit of free Americans.
On this, the first great reunion of fighters,
the community ought to respond with an out
burst of enthusiasm that will linger long in our
memories and set new mark for our opprecia-
ton of their services.
Let's get into the spirit of the day and mani
fest it with vim and energy. Never will we have
better opportunity to start the reform than on
that day. All of us will have abundant occasion
to forget diffdence and reserve on that day.
If you are bashful remember your neighbor in
tends to rejoice and celebrate Just as loudly and
happily you do. Start the noise-malSing and
the contagion of your action will rapidly COM
municate itself to the persons next to you. Soon
Main street will be filled with happy and buoy
antly rejoicing citizens, elated the splendid
boys that made possible the day, and enthusi-
astic the pageantry revealing in graphic
form the great historical incidents of our repub-

Who Dug Their Graves

w NO Lug lHCll oloNSo
Who dug their graves? The voice That might
Have raised itself to cry "Beware!
The heart that was "too proud to fight
And yet too tin1id to prepare.
The casual brain that sent them forth,
Those boys, our bravest and our best
The courteous South, the hardy North,
The earnest East, the warrior West
To camps that made their makers rich
And slew as never iron storms;
TO muddy field and icy ditch
In deadly uniforms.
Who dug their graves? The eyes that slept
Too soundly to permit tear;
The vacillating lips that kept
Our ordnance all assembled-here!
Who left the aircraft on the ground
At home, the sycophants and slaves,
Grafters who cringed when Power frowned-
But took the cash-these dug their graves
The Cause is greater than its price
AS night is lesser than the day;
But for the needless sacrifice,
Great God in Heaven, they must pay!

DEALERS SELL HARD COAL
ONLY TO OLD CUSTOMERS
Supply OF This Fuel Practically
Exhausted, They Declare, in
Giving Reason.
CONDITIONS MAY BE WORSE
Producers Refuse to Make binding
Promises OF Deliveries In Future,
because of Wage Controversy
Now in Progress.

Richmond retail dealers in anthra-
cite coal are refusing to accept orders
except from their own customers on
account of the practically. exhausted
condition OF the supply of this fuel.
Failure of producers to carry out
month has brought about the situa-
ton. 1t is declared.
IheSe producers have refused 10
make binding promises OF future de-
ifverics for the past few days. giving
labor troubles as the cause. Unless
treversy Is reached in the next few
worse, they declare, since demands
are so heavy that producers are pro-
rating what anthracite is being taken
from the mines. This supply falls
much short OF the demand.
Fears that there would be moro
trouble throughout the year. with no.
adequate stocks in sight. were ex-
pressed yesterday by several dealers
although some are hopeful that con-
ditions will shortly improve and that
more anthracite will be available
BY furnishing anthracite only TO
conserve the dwindling stock and
prevent boarding OF coal by consum-
ers. Practically all Richmond dealers
have adopted this plan because Of
the advancing season and the Pres
pect of bad weather when consump-
mand greater.
The soft coal situation continues to
Improve, and the supply Is becoming
more plentiful. so that dealers are not
concerned over obtaining sufficient
stocks OF this fuel. According to deal
the same on this commodity for sew
