DON'T HELP COAL GAMBLERS

w D. AINEY. chairman of the pennsyl-
W.. vania State Fuel Commission, and the
more public spirited retailers are right in
suggesting that nothing will so stimulate
n tendency to speculation and profiteering
in the anthracite market as n disposition
toward needless boarding on the part of
consumers.
The coal mining and distribution system
in this State have their faults. But they
are flexible systems. In a month or two.
enough coal could be mined and placed in
retail yards to meet the normal needs of oil
householders in this general region. As it
is easy for mines working full time TO pro-
duce more anthracite than is needed. an
overflow would be available before Christ
mas to provide reserve stocks in the storage
yards.
In a final analysis. the price of domestic
coal will depend. until emergency condi-
tions pass. upon the conscience Of the dis
tributors and the common sense of the buy.

chinery adequate to maintain n completely

empty Din Will ouy cautiously ana be as
sured that while he is burning one ton Of

the Road to Prosperity

all kinds of business are good Their pros

the Nation as the prosperity of any great
nation is necessary to the prosperity OF the
world. This is so because they constitute
large mass Of producers and consumers.
The proceeds from the good crops this
year will have stimulating effect upon
all kinds of business. Those farmers who
did not pay off their mortgages during the
period OF high prices while the war was
going on will pay them off this year. This
will release money for use in other forms of
investment The farmers Will buy more
clothing and more talking machines and
more automobiles and more books and more
carpets and more furniture. They will en-.
