asked what kind of ball they we're
using the reply was, soft baseball.
Nevertheless they were having a
splendid game with a soft baseball.
The Hi-Y. Club met last Friday
evening at p. m. at the residence
of Mr.. A. d. Stewart. Games were
played and refreshments served,
after which Mr.. Ray Deere, president,
responded with few fitting remarks.
Every boy was very much interested
in the gathering which was filled
with life and fun. The inspiration
by the members of the club. The
boys expressed themselves as having
been greatly benefited by the prin-
ciples and spirit of the Hi-Y organ
ization. The club will continue its
regular meetings during the Summer
months, and reinforce its ranks at
the beginning of ,the Fall semester.
Another pleasing feature was that
the ice cream and cake, delicious
to be sure, were made by the host.
Many boys Of the South Dallas

SOFT COAL IS
COM|NGDOWN
Prices Start to Fall and Rock
Bottom Should Be Hit Before
December.
By LEE ELLMAkEB.
International News Service.

Coal is on the decline.
George IL. Cushing. director OF the
American Wholesale Coal Dealers As
sociation. today announced prices for
soft coal have started to fall and
rock bottom prices may be expected
before December 1. Labor conditions
and the maintenance OF the present
output may influence the price either
upward or downward, Cushing de-
clared.
"The situation caused by the prior
ity orders for New England and the
Great Lakes territory has developed
the most ragged coal market we have
known in years" Cushing said.
'The purchaser in New England and
the section served by the Great LAX es
has coal brought to his door. and II Is
being sold as low as IS a ton in ex-
treme cases and ranges as high as
81.
"The price of coal only two weeks
ago was about $40 to $12. with but
little under $40. In the sections not
supplied by the priority orders there
is a feeling OF anxiety among the
dealers and prices are climbing. The
major portion OF the coal Is going to
the priority districts. however. and
the trade prices are governed to a
large extent py tne diuouht pdiu III
the New England and Great Lakes
sections.
-The constant fear that there will
be a coal shortage is still holdinb
prices up. 1t now appears there will
not be q spontaneous realization OF
the existence OF sufficient coal, but
the fact will be realized gradually,
causing a gradual drop. Observation
can be made only day by day, how
ever" Cushing declared.
TT was estimated a coal production
Of IL 100000 tons per week from the
middle OF August until December !
would cause a normal condition to ex-
ist by that time" Cushing continued.
During the month Of August the
average weekly production was H.
$4,000 tons. The continuation of this
rate of production will clear the situ-
alton"
