"we expect carload of anthracite
 coal any day now, but it hasn't come i get and we have only soft coal for < our customers" stated George A !. Baldwin, Remington coal dealer this
 morning.
 5a Mir. Baldwin said that the carload 7 of coal has been on the way for over two weeks and should have been in long ago. Many of the patrons are taking soft coal 55 tons of which came into the yard last week.
 One of the men at the yard told of e small girl who came for coal this morning. She said that her sis- ter and brother are sick in bed and they have hardly any coal in the house. While enough coal to satisfy the needs of the family could have been obtained. there was no way of taking 1t to the house, as all the wagons seemed to be in use. k Complaints that orders are not be- ing filled are coming in at the office every day. Nothing can be done, however, as there is no anthracite ccal at the plant. Aboutstwo weeks ago a carload came in, but it was disposed of quickly.

 At the present time it is not known whether or not Berlin will have a community tree and no one seems to know anything about the idea, ex- cept that everyone thinks there is to be a tree.
 Several townspcople were called up this morning in nn effort to find out particulars regarding the placing of the tree on the community grounds. but each one seemed to think some- 1. one else was in charge of the work
 The original plan was to take the tee from the Congregational church | Sunday school room tomorrow morn- ing and place 1t l., front of the com 1 n1unity house, decorating 1t appro- priately and allowing # to remain there until two or t,,ree days after | Christmas. On Christmas eve several of the church and town were to gather around the tree and sing carols.
 Ii was found. however. that but one would be able to sing, and then on Tuesday evening.
 So 1t doesn't seem as if Berlin will li have community Christmas tree tsiis year.
