THE LACK OF FoRETHOUGHT
People Should Look Ahead and Blu!
Their Sunnlies Accordinply.E

Predictions are now issued that
there will again be pronounced
shortage this winter of bituminous
coal. Production has been $780,
900 short weekly. All through the
spring and summer business interests
ard householders have been urged
to buy their supplies of coal. But
they have not generally done so.
When the coal consumers of the
middle west and northwest start to
buy their coal, the railroads will pro-
baby not have cars enough to move
it. Anthracite coal can not pro-
baby be moved as fast as consumers
want it.
Probably many manufacturing
plants neglect to buy their supplies
on the theory that business is dull
and they might not need as much
fuel as usual. Now that conditions
look much improved, they may find
they want the normal amount or
more. But perhaps they can't get
ii. This is one of the many ways
in which living costs are increased
BY failure of the public to show
forethought. For instance, remark
able bargains of light weight sum-
mer clothing were offered in The
Public Opinion during the latter part
OF the summer. A great many peo-
pie took advantage OF. these chances,
and got suits at a decided reduction
that will be perfectly good next sea-
son. Others neglected to do so,
though they will need new stuff just
"a soon as summer opens. What
they will do will be to rush in with
the crowd that always buys at the
height of the season and pay top
prices.
Some people say they lack the
cash to follow that policy. But their
failure to anticipate their wants
makes their living cost more, and
is one reason why they lack the
rnoney. No doubt some business
interests failed to buy their coal last
spring, because they did not have
the cash. Probably if they would
look ahead and buy supplies at the
most favorable opportunities, they
would acquire surplus that could
be used to take advantage of the
market.

DISTRIBUTION CHARITY
Many Fake Calls For Public Charity
To Work the Public.

eye have the poor with you al
ways" said the Savior of mankind,
and every community is faced with
the necessity of spending more or
less money on public charity. 1t
has usually been more for the past
year, since the period of waste and
be satisfaction to the taxpayer to
feel that his money has done some
thing to relieve the cases Of genuine
need on the part of worthy people.
But there are many fake calls for
help, and many persons make a
study of how to work the public and
supply their needs out of the public
purse instead of by honest industry.
1t has always been considered a
kind of disgrace for person to
have to resort to a public almshouse.
Frequently this feeling is not justi-
fed, as one may have done his level
best for self support, but adverse
circumstances were too difficult to
be overcome.
The community should do its ut
most to take the sting of defeat
away from such people. Some COM
manities soften the bitterness of
public charity by calling their aims
houses the "city home, suggesting
that the community is family thai
is glad to care for all unfortunate
members.
The problem of separating the
worthy from the underwriting, calls
for close study Of human nature. A
person may be drawing relief from
a number of charitable agencies
simultaneously, without any of them
knowing of the other gifts. A good
many people lose ambition after re-
ceiving public charity. They get soft
and easy going, conclude that the
world owes them living and re.
fuse to get out and hustle.
Careful investigation is the only
way to deal fairly and sympathetic
ally in such cases. The people who
deserve help will work with all their
energy if they get chance, and
those who show this disposition to
make good are entitled to generous
treatment if sickness or other mis-
fortune besets them.

Got Eight Cents For a Hide

Adair, Iowa-A. j. Leeper, farmer
living south of town, shipped hide
to the Omaha market a few days
ago through local agent.
When he called for his remittance
at the agents place of business, he
was handed four cent stamps in
full settlement. An itemized state
ment showed that the hide weighed
sixty pounds and brought l cent per
pound, or Coo; from this was de-
Quoted So cents freight, leaving a
balance of s cents due Mr.. Leeper
on this transaction. The company
paid him in 2 cent stamps. Leeper
is busy figuring just how many
hides he would have to sell at this
rate to buy pair of shoes.

RHEUMATIC TROUBLES OF YEARS
DURATION OVERCOME

Thousands of people begin to suf-
fer from rheumatic pains about this
time of year. What they need is
Trutona, the famous tonic, which
contains sarsaparilla, recognized as
powerful Alternative for hundreds
of years, skillfully compounded with
other effective ingredients. You'll be
surprised at how quickly these rheu-
matte pains and aches will vanish
after beginning the use of Trutona.

RODE AWAY FROM PRISON
Two Prisoners Escape From the Re
formatory at Anamosa.

, No, they did not run away rol
walk away, they made their success
full escape in Warren j. N. Bau-
mel's large touring car. Throughout
the state diligent vigil is made fol
the apprehension of Lester Cullum
and William Hanlin who made then
ride-away from the Reformatory
early Sunday evening. Both men are
y TRUSTEES and had worked for some
i.t;,s,a-ip tla -,,;eo,.. .,,sal~ dsa ssf
refomatory cars. The man Cullum
had only seven months of a five year
sentence to serve. He was sent up
from Eagle Grove for grand larceny
in connection of the theft of a
motor car. An official of the Re-
formatory stated that this fellow
had refused pardon offered him
some time ago. Cullum had but
one leg and through the kindness
of the Board of Control an artificial
limb was purchased for him recent
ly.
Hanlin the other convict was SEN
fenced to do eight years for man
slaughter. He had served only one ,
year and was a former resident of !,
Sioux City. At about $50 Sunday
the men were missed from the gar
age which is just outside the walls.
They would have been locked in their
cells at 8 o'clock so seized the OPP
portunity given them to travel before 4
locking up time. Both men had I
been allowed considerable leeway as 1
TRUSTEES and had been allowed out
side the walls late evenings. Their
escape was discovered within an
hour and police departments and
sheriff's Offices over the state not
flied.
They are still at liberty but with 4
every chance of being returned and .
another five years added to their
term of sentence.-Anamosa Journal.

the outdoor winter club. Every man
present at the meeting wednesday
evening joined the new organlza-
ton making a nucleus of % men,
bers to work on.
Along just what lines activities
of the club will be directed, is not
known, but it is certain that every
branch of winter sports will re-
ceive some attention. Plans for the
toboggan chute on the old golf
links are complete. Here a natur-
al slide will be provided, render
ing unnecessary any scaffolding.
There is a spring of running
water at the top and at the bottom
of the slide, so that the question
of water to ice the chute is settled.
A large floodlight will be used to
illuminate the entire hillside, doing
away with individual lights on
poles.
Mr.. Johnson also spoke about
the proposed municipal skating
rink which will be located on the
Common. 1t will be properly po-
Iced and facilities provided so
that the skaters will be able to
have warm dressing quarte1s. Ihc
rink will be flooded soon.
There was some talk at the
meeting of having "a winter carni-
val this season. The lack of *
pense and the highly entertain
ing features Of such an undertake
ing would make it an ideal enter
prise for the St. Johnsbury winter
sports club to attempt in this. its
infancy. The snowshoe and ski en-
thusiasts of St. Johnsbury Acad-
envy and Lyndon Institute or of
any other interested organizations
could be induced to enter various
events, such as snowshoe or ski
cross-country, obstacle races, or
jumping contests.

No Session of County g.,
Court Thursday

There was no session of county
court Thursday as no cases were
ready for trial. Some business is
expected for Friday.
As there was no court business,
Judge Wilcox tookthe opportunity
to accept Judge Woodruff's hospi-
tally at his home in West Burke
and to visit Willoughby Lake.
The lake is not yet frozen over,
and is just as charming in its sur
roundings of frost and snow and
zero weather as it is in all its
wealth of autumn foliage in Oct
ober. Judge Wilcox had never Wis
tied Willoughby and was enthus-
iastic over its scenic beauty.
