This dealer announced that he made

Inquiry, however, developed the fact
that the coal business is a paying bust
ness. Poor years are counterbalanced by
other years which furnish profits.
"a chart prepared by William H Gro
yerman, formerly secretary of the North.
west Coal Operators Association, shows
clearly the meshing of the interests be
tween the dock companies and the mines
In this connection it might be men
toned that the testimony of one witness
who stated that the sales agency of which
he was manager handled approximately
the last year $4,000 tons Of anthracite
coal of total Of 100000 tons, which an
nually is sold from the head of the lakes
Tor domestic consumption. The fact that
one mining company through one sales
agency and through the manager of this
agency virtually sets the value on more
than half of the anthracite coal entering
the Northwest is a significant fact in the
study of the coal trade.
"a study reveals that the organized
coal interests vigorously oppose any in
terrerence. On the other hand, individu-
ais representing the public and occupy
ing very high positions insist on the ne
cessity Of regulation and direction.
Prospects are that the winter of 1921
p will see very large quantity of wood
cut within shipping distance of the Twin

WHAT 1T COSTS

According to figures just given out
it's going to cost each citizen of the
United States the sum of $S2 to keep
the government running next year.
That dosen't mean that every man
and woman in Julesburg for instance,
will pay that sum, because not all of
them are taxpayers. But it means
that those who do pay taxes will have
to make up an amount equal to $82
for every man and woman living in
this country. This is based on
budget of $6,5OO, 900 900, which would
mean a per capita of about $50. But
state and county taxes average up
another $22, SO it really means q tax
of $S2 on every citizen to run his gov
ernment one year. It's q lot of
money There's no getting away from
that fact. But when we stop to COM
pare this nation with any or all of the
others we're forced to admit that $s2
q year is pretty cheap for the priv
year is pretty cheap for the Wivi-
lege of living in the best country on

DON'T OVERLOOK US

This is the season around JulesburE
when living is cheapest. All the
back-breaking work put in on gardens
along in the spring is being amply
rewarded now. and grocery bills are
at . minimum. Out on the farm it
is the same way only more so.
There's lots of work out there, and
will be for some time. But it's
the height of the season for good
things to eat, and money from the
crops is commencing to come in. So,
all things considered it seems q very
appropriate time to remind you that
the editor of this paper. the writer
Of these few lines. is depending on
your subscription money to purchase
for him at the store the good things
you are getting from the garden.
White paper and printing material is
just as costly As it ever was, and 1t
takes cash to secure it. So while you
are prospering, and your grocery bills
are low, and money has commenced

member that . dollar or two applied
on your subscription at this time will
be thankfully received.

This country has ENORMOUS sugar
stocks on hand, and there is no occa-
sion for q raid by the mOney-loving
spectators. However, you need not
be surprised if, in 4 short time, you
hear another fanciful yarn to the eff
feet that sugar is going up, that this
or that has happened to the crop. or
that there's another strike in Cuba.
The only way the price of sugar can
be advanced is to frighten the public,
or for merchants themsleves to get
scared and begin limiting the amount
of sugar sold to q customer. Then the
sugar baron accomplishes the very
purpose he seeks he gets the price
of sugar up to = point where he can
unload at an enormous profit. and he
unloads. Sugar would never sell
for more than it is selling at now in
this country if people would only buy
it a few pounds at time, as they
need it, instead of boarding it away.

Nothing much happened on Dee
ember 6, 1915, when the proceed
ings in Washington were inaugu-
rated. A motion for leave to file
a bill of complaint was entered.
{ Seven days later leave was grant
ed to file the bill and process was
ordered to issue retufnable on the
second Monday of the following
March. On December 10 the bill
of complaint was filed by Attorney
General Sargent. There are some
other incidental entries as of this
period.
1t doesn't appear that anything
was done further until February
%, 1916, when the time for the
filing of the defendants answer
extended to the second Monday in
July. On July 8, 1916, five years
ago, the answer was filed.
At this point, apparently, the
case lapsed into profound slumber,
and was not awakened there-from
until the present visit of Messrs.
Sargent and Matthews. They APP
peared before the Court on the
eve of the usual summer recess OF
the tribunal and the proceedings
were renewed, with provision be-
ing made for the appointment of
Commissioners and the taking of
testimony in the case. Next in
line would naturally follow the
submission of such evidence as is
to be adduced, etc. = 'sN
1t is hardly to be expected that

not deal with taxes and revenue,
and soldier bonus, and the eight

July, and mentioning, ETC., etc,
and it does not appear that the
rival Attorneys Generals were not
on speaking terms with each other.
In fact quite the contrary is IN
evidence, for in the course of their
visit The Honorable Sargent, with
true Vermont courtesy and gallan-
try, extended to his New Hamp-
shire opponent the favor of for
mally presenting him to the Sup
RENE Court, thereby admitting him
to practice before that distinguish

calculated to, bring this long-slum-

Prcliminaries to a settlement of
the boundary question by the Su-

reason not disclosed the action was
permitted to rest there after few
formal proceedings. However, at

Lunenburg and continue the pleas
ant relatios and wishing them the
best of luck wherever they might
locate. Mrs. King responded with
thanks for the kind thoughts and
