COAL KITING CONDEMNED.
Altogether Too Much Pryamiding of
Profiteers on COad, Should be
Stopped.

That there is altogethr too much
pyramiding of profits on coal by
shaunting it from one broker to an
other before it reaches the retailer
is the charge of the wholesale deal.
ers of Philadelphia who publish in
the newspapers resolutions adopted
by the chamber of commerce at the
coal dealers suggestion wherein the
chamber urges all retail dealers to
refuse to buy coal that has passed
thru the hands of more than one
wholesale firm. ''' o
This same chamber of commerce
has appointed a committee to in.
vestigate complaints of overcharges
by coal dealers or of refusal to full
fill contracts. 1t asks people not to
place orders with several dealers in
their panicky fear that coal is not 70
be available because this multiplies
the demand fictitiously and adds to
the panic. The chamber also de-
mands that people quit trying to
hoard coal when the indications are
that the fuel situation is going to
become easier instead Of worse.
Kiting coal is a common practice
as it is with sugar and is done to
boost the price. No retail dealer
should aid in abetting it by buying of
brokers who have pyramided the
price by shunting cars of coal from
broker to broker in order to add
margins several times over because
when the market breaks as it will
the fall will be unnecessarily great
and the contact with the bottom exA
ceedingly disastrous.
Sugar brokers and spectators are
paying the penalty now for this
practice and legitimate dealers are
suffering unnecessary losses as the
result of the vicious kiting game. 1t
is to the best interest of the dealer
and Of the public to boycott the coal
spectators wherever they can.

PRIMARY ROAD GUIDE FOR IOWA

An Iowa primary road guide. cover
ing all the important numbered high
ways, is being printed by the State
Highway commission. All primary
roads of the state are now designat
ed by number. Ninety-seyen of the
90 counties are either painting the
numbers on telephone poles or
have already completed the job. The
numbers are expected to displace the
use of the tourist trail names, ex-
cept on more important routes. The
guide will give the numbers of all
roads and will make it easy for the
person travelling out of hi; own
home community to pick his route
by number. ht ...5
The guide will combine advantage
Gus features taken from both rail-
road folder and automobile guide
practice. 1t will contain a large
state map. 25x36 inches and also
eight sectional maps which cover the
entire state. An additional map
shows Des Moines and surrounding
territory as far north as Fit. Dodge
and as far south as Charlton. A
key map will show the portion OF
the state covered by each section.
Another map will show the more inn
portant of the tourist trails which
have been officially registered, like
the Lincoln jefferson, Hawkeye
highways. and the River to River
road There will be complete
alphabetical index of all towns and
cities in the state, with the county
the town is in, the road it is on, and
also the sectional map on which it
will be found. A numerical index OF
all numbered roads will give road
mileage like the railroad folders
give mileage, all interesting roads
and the 1915 census figures on popu-
lation. There will be list of tour
list trails with corresponding road
numbers, numbered roads in ad-
joining states.and page devoted 10

lake resorts with location, nearest
town and the routes on which locat-
ed. The map will be sold to dealers
