Coal and the Railroads.

Although 1t Is apparent that effort
will not be lacking on the part Of the
country's steam carriers to carry out
the suggestion Of II. E. Clark, chairman
of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
that the roads lay In liberal reserve
stocks Of coal at this time against pos
sible shortage In the coming winter. rail
officials point out that few roads are In
a sufficiently good cash position to tie
up large sums In the purchase of fuel.
The average reserve on most roads Is In
the neighborhood OF thirty days supply.
with some exceptions It Is probable that
railroads would be unable to enlarge
their coal reserves beyond sixty or
ninety days supply without special
storage facilities.

why Rails Were strong.

The firm tone Of railroad stocks yes
terday was attributed in part to the ex-
pectation that President Harding would
see ft to direct the funding Of the
amount owed the Government for cap
ital expenditures In the period Of Fed
eral control and to the announcement
OF the Railroad Labor Boards supple
mentary decision authorizing the IL per
cent. wage cut on roads the cases Of
which had not been presented In time
for inclusion in the original decision q
month ago. Although the board at that
time estimated that a IL per cent. re-
duction on all roads would effect an
annual saving Of $500. 900, railway
executives point out that that estimate
was based on the total of 2,050.000 rail-
way workers on the payrolls at the
time of the wage increase awarded in
July. 1920, and tha on the basis Of
100000 at present employed the an
nual saving would be nearer to $375,-
100000. The saving, of course, will in

Just as Mexican Petroleum advanced
sharply last week on intimations that

such action. In fact, Obregon was

go as far as 1t did in the afternoon.
When prices began to give way. how
ever. there was a great deal OF pro-
fessional selling, and as a result prices
at the close were somewhat lower than
had been. expected. The demand Tor
stocks in the loan crowd at the close
gave evidence of a substantial expan-

Mr.. Beckstead's hogs are the envy

He states that for years he bought
high-priced hog foods and hog rene

travagant prices for what he can
make himself. He states that what
the hogs need are minerals, and tells
the secret of his wonderful success by
explaining that he takes about five
pounds of ordinary mineraline (which
is pure concentrated minerals and
cost ouly a couple Of dollars) and mix
es same with enough bran or filler to
make a hundred pounds. All hogs,
and especially brood sows require
minerals as they keep them free from

The Publishers Responsibility

Much demoralizing reading is print
ed on the plea that 1.-THE public wants
it," A mother might as excusably
give her child the glistening arsenic
for which it cries. The publisher
bear responsibility to society like
that of the preacher or the teacher.
This, at auy rate, is the view of the
Publishers of The Youths Compan-
ion. From its frs6 issue to the pres
emit it has been a constant force for
character building. And with all
that it has been so wisely edited that
no publication exists of more varied
charm, more inexhaustible and re-
freshing sources of interest.
TIE 81 issues of the coming year
will be crowded with serial stories,
short stories, editorials, poetry, facts
and fun. Only 80 for an amount of
reading equal to thirty-five volumes
of fiction, humor, etc.
