Wetzler Forms Loan
 And Security Company

Julius WetzIer is incorporating a company to be called the Arizo- na Loan and Security Company. The papers have been filed with the Arizona Corporation Commis- sion, the publication of the same now going on in the columns of the Holbrook Tribune. Mr. Wetz- Ter states that as soon as all the preliminaries are concluded the company will be open for busi- ness. From what we can learn, it is the intention of the new con- cern to do general loan and mortgage business, and especial attention is to be given to the building of homes and other build ings in the community. The com pany is incorporated for $200. 900. The need of more buildings for dwelling purposes is sorely felt in Holbrook, and the new company promises to be of great assistance to the man who wants to build and own his own home. -Hol- brook TribuAs.

NEW YORK HAS COAL
FOR ONLY TWO DAYS
Blizzard Adds to Gravity OF Situation
Which Is Rapidly Becoming
Alarming.

New York faces the gravest Goa
famine situation In its history, Pub
lie Service Commissioner Lewis
Nixon said yesterday Barely two
days supply of coal is now in the
bunkers of any public utility, he
said, and he predicted the absolute
shu ting down CT all rail transporta
ton If the severe weather keeps up
and help Is not forthcoming at once.
He ascribed the situation not alone
to bad harbor conditions, the heavy
snowstorm, and the highest 'ide
ever recorded. but to the fact thai
large consignments Of coal for pub.
Tic utilities have been requisitioned
by the Railroad Administration and
diverted elsewhere.
In Geographic appeal to Pres dent
Wilson yesterday, Mr. Nixon urged
that the Railroad Administration be
enjoined from further seizures. He
also asked that every effort be ex-
erted to rush coal supplies to hie
city. He further besought Mayor
Hylan to use his influence against
Federal seizures.

EVENTS THAT MADE HISTORY

Our country approaches two notable
dates in its history.
Philadelphians have already begun
to talk about a great international
celebration for 1925 TO commemorate
the one hundred and fiftieth anniver-
sary of Independence.
But next year comes still more

next November since the pilgrims land

Philadelphia Press.
People refer constantly TO them as
the Pilgrim Fathers" but as Roland
Usher. in his book points out, IA

OF the 102 persons who came over
in the Mayfower, only nine had
reached forty years OF age. But two
OF them were fifty

were 10 grownup women. one of whom
was unmarried. AS there were %

A larger program OF public acquisi-
ton of forests by the federal govern
ment. states and municipalities. and
protection and perpetuation of forest
growths on all privately owned lands
which may not be used better for agri-
culture, is recommended In the annual
report of the forester of the depart

This policy is made necessary. the
report said, by the diminishing tim

the forests is more than twice what is
being produced by growth in form

firewood.
ALREADY the supplies of all the
great Eastern centers Of production
are approaching exhaustion, with the
exception of the South" the report
said, "and even there most of the
mills have not over ten to fifteen
years supply of virgin timber.
"The Southern pine is being with
drawn from many points as a compet-
tive factor and Its place taken by
Western timbers. This inevitably re-
suits in added freight charges, which
the consumer must pay"
