RECEIVED LIBERAL SUPPORT

The management of the Middletown
Athletic Association, through the
column of The Transcript, desire to
thank the public of Middletown and
vicinity, for the most generous support
during the base ball season of 1921.
During the season there were twenty
games played, of which twelve were
won and eight lost. 54.5 people paid
admission to the games, (and an aver
age of about forty witnessed every
game from different vantage points of
the property adjoining the ball park.
These inclnded retired business men,
mechanics who earn good wages,
merchants who do business in and
around the town, and many others of
different occupations.)
From business standpoint the base
ball season was successful in every way,
comfortable cash balance being left
in the treasury at the end Of the sea-
son, thing never known here in the
history Of baseball.
That the games were an advantage
to the towns business is attested by
the fact that last Saturday afternoon
was the first dull afternoon known here
during the summer. Five Thousand
people cannot turn out in this commu.
nity, without spending some money
and the merchants one and all shared ir
the expenditures of the crowds which
came to our town to witness the games
Plans are now under way to place {
faster team in the field next season
than the one representing the town this
wear, and it behooves the merchants O
the town, both from business and ;
sporting standpoint to get back OF th'

VISIT. WITH A NOTED SURGEON

The Scribe recently had the great
pleasure of visit with DR.. B. R.
Veasey at his handsome new suite OF
Offices in the Industrial Trust Building,
10th and Shipley streets, Wilmington.
The Doctor is in fine fettle despite the
ceaseless exactions of large practice
as surgeon and physician.
The Scribe wishes he might feel at
liberty to narrate number of the Won
derful things the Doctor has done with
his cunning hand. eye, and knife-but
he would never permit it.
But one story must be given since it
has already been often told by the late
Rev. DR.. Wyatt so we'll and favorably

Here's how the Rev. DR.. would tell

to undergo severe surgical operation
in Philadelphia hospital. She dreaded
it, and I advised her to let DR.. Veasey
see her. He was loath to seem to in
terfere, but upon my insistance con.
sented.
An examination convinced him that
no operation was necessary. She fol-
lowed his advice, whose correctness was
proved by the fact that she made a
prompt and complete recovery without
recourse to the knife she so much
dreaded"
The Scribe met in the Doctors Office
an old gentleman past 80, who had just
undergone painless operation by the
Doctor using local anesthesia.

A New Use For Sugar

A process has been invented by which

wood is plunged into boilers filled with

wood has been thoroughly penetrated
by the solution, it is taken out and
dried. 1t becomes solid and does not
crack or shrink after this treatment.

TO FIX COAL PRICES
Efforts by Unemployed Committee
to Force Down Price
BEFORE DEMAND INCREASES

Efforts are now being made by COM
mittees of the national unemployment
conference to force down the price of
coal and to prevent higher prices when
winter increases the demand.
As vet no concrete plan of action has
been evolved, but government figures
indicate that unless some steps are
taken coal shortage with famine
prices" may come with any increased
industrial activity and the usual winter
demands. Coal production so far this
year is the lowest since 1909.
1t is the belief of Secretary of Com
merce Hoover and other administration
leaders that the first step should be
cut in coal prices in accordance with the
conferences recommendations that all
prices be brought down. This, it is be-
lieved, would stimulate coal buying and
aid in relieving the industrial depression
which in turn would help decrease un.
employment.
The next step in the administration s
opinion must be the settlement of dis
putes between operators and union
miners in various parts of the country
which are cutting down production.
Official government figures show that
non-union miners in many sections are
working six days week at a lower
dailv wage than the unionists but are
netting mu h more each week because
the organized miners are able to work
only part time. AS the result of the
lower non-union wage, non-union coal is
cheaper and the dem and for it continues
strong.
Government officials realize the coal
situation requires some permanent re-
lief m measures. The national coal agree.
ment between the operators and the
miners regarding wages and working
conditions expires next March, with
strikes already looming up over the
question of it's renewal. Efforts may
be made in the conference to obtain an
agreement that this question be sub
mitted to arbitration.
President Harding and Secretary
Hoover are considering what steps they
can take to bring definite and quick re-
suits out of the emergency relief pro-
gram given them by the national con-
ference on unemployment.
