cent for the coming year. Other manu-
f~acturers that are able to make in
quantity a good machine and deliver
promptly are no doubt preparing for
the same thing. The degree of pros
perity in this industry depends, Of
course, on how good the times are
going to be. They needn't be espe-
cially flush in this connection. If
crops are reasonable good, there will
be much buying of automobiles in the
smaller towns and on the farms. The
automobile has been such a boon to
the countryside that nearly every
farmer finds it an indispensable piece
of machinery. The automobile has
made the farmer a city mar in the
sense that it has brought him pleas
ures and many new comforts that he
ought to have. If the big cities are
near saturatiOn with automobiles the
country is not, even though it has
been a large buyer in the past.

COAL SITUATION HOPEFUL

Several factors are working toward
improving the coal situation which Is
one of the most serious problems con-
fronting the northwest this fall. The
serious shortage in all of the states in
this part of the country has caused
a lot of worry among those OF our citi-
zens who do not plan to spend the win
ter in California. Relief is promised
and it will no doubt come. Here are
some of the reasons why the situation
is improving. The slowing down OF
the automobile and other kindred in
dustries is helping the railroads to
increase their carrying capacity be-
cause it is easier now TO secure me
chanics for repairing locomotives and
cars and II is also easier to secure
iron and steel materials necessary for
the repairs. The labor problems of
the mines have been vastly improved.
In Illinois the mine workers and OPP
orators have just adjusted their diff
cu1ties to the satisfaction of all and
the men are back at work. The
scarcity of labor is being rapidly off
set by the increasing tide of immi-
grafton and the closing down either
wholly or in part OF many factories
and mills. The coal situation Will
soon be improved.
But in the mean time the coal dealer

a long winter, when health and COM

bins and a pile of disagreeable ashes,
and In many cases an unsettled coal

and the unpleasant reminders remain
"Confound that coal man." Perhaps
there is nothing for the coal producer
and dealer to do but cultivate a spe-
cial brand of philosophy and patience

Of this policy that many commercial

Alexandria Herald-It Is quite evil
dent that the political campaign in
South Dakota will not warm up until
Dick Richards gets out and starts
something. 1t is becoming customary
for the voters to expect to hear from
Dick pretty regularly every two years,
and a political campaign without his
various activities would seem tame
indeed. If Mr.. Richards starts some
thing soon there will be some inter
est in the campaign in this state. If
he remains quiet it viii be useless for
other politicians and statesmen to at
tempt to arouse the voters from their
present apathetic condition.

Millions for a
