Stand up for your friends. There
are some people who always seem
ready to listen when their friends are

 It is the opinion of Thomas w. Russell, state fuel administrator, that if there should be 15 per cent. inn provement in the railroad service be- tween New England and the coal fields the present coal trouble would disappear. MT. Russell said yesterday that there has been some improve ment during the past three weeks, partially due to the order issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission prohibiting the use of open coal cars for cargo other than coal. The com missions order of June 19, giving priority to coal shipments for New England from Hampton Roads, he said has had practically no effect.

CUTTING THE HIGH COSTS.

Farmers are hustling to get their farms ready for the spring crops. There are more improvements going on now in this part of Polk county among the farmers than in five years past. Notice the new land being clear ed; the new barns, houses and fences being built The new farmers that have moved in from other states and bought farms are making changes in the looks of the farms. Notice at Cove all the vacnt Ind is now being fenced and put in cultivation. The town COW will have no place to roam in Cove. Now is the time to plant big garden. No cattle or hogs to break in at night to destroy your garden Plant plenty, and some for your neighbor. Stop this buying everything you eat. This will bring down the high cost of living sooner than anything you can do. Raise what you eat and wear your old clothes, and down comes the High Cost of Living.
