RATE BOOST WILL
MAKE COAL SOAR
DEALER DECLARES
Local Companies Advance
Price for Third Time Since
Winter-PaniCky Market
and Few Cars Aid in Boost.

The impending freight rate increase
made legal by recent act OF the inter
state commerce commission, probably
will increase the price of coal In Mem
phis to the consumers another 80 cents
per ton, declared w. T. c. Berlin. prea-
ident Of the Hunt Berlin Coal company,
Tuesday, relative to the announcement
late Monday of an increase of about 81
paS ton on West kentucky and Ala
bains Goals. The increase is scheduled
to come about Oct. i and will be gen.
eral affecting all kinds of freight.
Practically all local companies late
Monday advanced their West Kentucky
and Alabama Goals for the third time
since last winter. The former, selling
until Monday at 50 per ton, reached
went from $3.50 to $1,000. If the other
kinds OF coal marketed here could be
obtained, the same ratio of increase
would be applied aiso, Mr.. Berlin de-
clared.
This increase was necessitated. To-
cal coal dealers say, by the cost of
coal at the mines, which in turn Is in
fluenced by a very panjcky market.
The scarcity OF cars and the Alabama
strike are contributory causes, the deal
ers say, but the fact that buyers are
spending money recklessly to get Goa
at any price at the mine, Is principally
responsible, according to Mr.. Beriin's
''For instance" Mr.. Berlin added, "a
dealer, unable to get coal, sends out
a buyer armed with a draft book and
instructions to get coal at any price
Upon finding loaded coal at the mines
already sold. the buyer then bargains
With the mine operator for the Tiext
loading at an increase "a price. Some
times the increase Is SO cents per ton
The next buyer In turn increases the
price q few more cents and so on until
the market is panicky."
West Kentucky coal at the beginning
of the summer retailed in Memphis at
$77b.
For the first time in years local coal
dealers are not sponsoring clay in
your winter coal" campaign, for they
haven't the coal themselves. according
to Mr.. Berlin. II the usual summer
rush OF coal orders were experienced
this season, the demand would far ex-
coed the supply, he SAID.
Mr.. Berlin declined to forecast what
the price of coal win be by the time
cold weather arrives He said, how
ever. that unless the market was sta
biiised further, there is danger of AN !,
other increase aside from that catlsed
by the increase in freight rates. The
coal gdealers, Mr.. Berlin added, We're
trying to conform in their making of
prices with the margin of profits as
fixed by the recent fair price committee:
Practically all other kinds of coal
usually shipped to Memphis are unob-
~stainable now, due to the shortage OF
pspducton. If they could be secured,
the increase in price would be felt on
them also Berlin said.

SUGAR SHOULD SELL
AT III CENTS POUND.

Washington, D. C.-Sugar should
sell for 1173 cents a pound, and pres
ent prices ranging from 20 to Is cents
are due to profiteering, w Jet Lauck,
consulting economist of the railroad
brotherhoods, told the railroad labor
board.
Sugar "gougers" will exact total
of 5000, 100000 from the American
people this year or $50 from each
person in the country, Lauck who is
urging the board to grant railroad
men increases said.
Income taxes for 1917 show that
sugar producers had earned 1928 per-
cent on the capital stock, 59.2 on CAPT
tai invested and 1888 on their capital
actually invested, after all taxes were
deducted, he said.
/ Cane producers earned 27.2S per-
cent on capital stock 23S34 on CAPT
/ tai actually invested and 191.04 on
capital after deducting taxes, accord
i ing to Lauck who said sugar was then
selling for ~ cents pound.
/ If the producers showed such
amazing earnings then" said Lauck
what must be theirearnings today
with sugar lowering about 25 cents q
pound?"

Mrs. Martha C. Dale, R. F. D. 1,
Cannon, Del, writes: II am en-
tirely cured of chronic catarrh of
the stomach and bowels by Pc
RU-NA."
Mr.. j. Bayer, Glendale, Oregon:
There is no medicine like PERU
MA for catarrhal Deafness"
Mrs. Kate Marquis, Middleburg,
Ohio: "PE-RU-NA cured me of
catarrh of the head and throat"
Mr.. j. H. Collins, Wesson, Mis-
sissippi: "PE-RU-NA makes me
feel vigorous and able to work
without that tired, weak feeling l
usually have otherwise"
Mrs. P. Ludvigsen, Austin, Min
nesota: "I got rid of my liver
trouble and can eat anything since
taking PE-RU-NA."
Mrs. L. Hearing, 283 East 169th
St., New York City: ''For catarrh
of the head and stomach, / have
found PE-RU-NA better than any
other medicine"
Mr.. w. H. Edgar, 40 Cooper St.,

Mrs. Leona Dodd, r. No. 8,

BRITISH DRYS HIT
BY MORE DRINKING.

London-Great Britain's daily booze
bill has reached the enormous fig
of 100000. This amazing increase
follows upon the heels of an intensi-
fed dry campaign, in which Pussy
foot" Johnson and seven other Amer
lean dry prophets co-operated.
1t is cause for perturbation in the
prohibition ranks here as are the lat
test reports from America showing
reaction against prohibition.
Speaking of the big increase in
liquor consumption the Rev. Wilson
Stuart, organizer of the British drys
said: Il believe it is due to reaction
after prolonged war restrictions
coupled with the deplorable increase
of drinking among women. Women
are aping men just as they are aping
them in the use of tobacco.

(By Uncle JOSH

J. A. Becker, Madison, crop statis-
tician furnishes some interesting data
on Grant county farm conditions. Mr..
Becker says the county farm labor
supply is 20 per cent of normal with
a demand of 101 per cent.
The COWS of the county in 1919 were
MIXED an average of 254 days each
and their average daily yield was 1853
pounds, for which an average price
OF $261 per cwt. was received. The
total value of the milk product for
the year was $4,479 ,305.
Attention of town chairmen, village
presidents and city mayors is drawn
to Section 1480a of the statutes, which
requires that the name or names of
appointee or appointees for weed
commissioners in each town. village
or city must be reported to the State
Department of Agriculture on or be-
fore the 18th day of May, 1920.
A chart from the federal govern
ment coveringthe use of farm owned
motor trucks shows the region around
Grant county to be among the heavi-
est users in the United States. The
Milwaukee region is another heavy
user of trucks on farms. Central
western and northwestern Iowa are
heavy users of trucks. The inter-
mountain regions uses very few
trucks and this condition applies to
the south. The north Atlantic sea-
board regions use trucks extensively.

year books for 1919 are now ready
for distribution and those desiring a
copy should write to him. Uncle jim

Now the bees have cut down pro-
duction. Honey will be costlier than
ever this year. Wisconsin bee rails
ers and honey producers say they
face heavy losses on account of the
continued cold weather. The clover
and other honey yielding crops have
been stunted in growth, preventing
the steady increase in the strength of
bee colonies, they say. Bee colonies
that came through the winter in poor
condition will be unable to gain
enough strength, the bee fanciers saw,
TO gather the honey crop until the
season IS nearly ended.

This factor, he added, not alone has
