COAL PRODUCTION
LAST NEEEABOUT
.12,6OO,OOG TONS
Little Change Between Fore
cast and Final Figures
for November a.

Estimates made by the unltcd
States Geological SURVEY indicate
that the production of stott coal in
the United States during the
week ending November II will
aggregate 12,sO0,OoO tons, while
the anthracite tonnage is ostimat-
ed to reach 100000 tons.
Revised figures show that during
the week ending November I
there were 10,617,000 tons Of BIZ
luminous and 1888, 900 tons OF
anthracite coal produced. The sur
vey's advance guess was close at
10.700.000 tons Of soft coal and
1900 tons Of anthracite
During the first four days OF
last week 134,S cars. or $40.
$50 tons Of coal, were produced.
The daily loadingS last week vert
as follows: Monday, 1880 cara;
Tuesday. 1886 cars; Wednes-
day, 1885 cars; Thursday 81
S07 cars.
Railroads Improve
Reports for the week endirg
October IS indicate that there has
been an Improvement noted III
raiiroading conditions in many Of
the coal fields OF the United States
Mention ls made that this was
true in the Northern West Ylr-
Ginia, Maryland and Southern
West Virginia fields.
DURING the same week labor
difficulties continued In the Cum
berland-Piedmont field and Kama
wha districts. which were respon-
sible for restricted production on
the basis Of ass per cent and
81 2 per cent, respectively. Many
mines in Somerset, WestmorelaRd
and the Connelisville districts
continued to work short handea
with a consequent decrease liz
capacity. The coke output in tie
Connellsvllle region was 159,7S0
net tons which was per cent
above the pre-strike rate and 81
per cent below the 1920 average
weekly production. No market re-
ports were received during that
week from operators in near.Y oil

While the contractors on the Arnettsvile road
have not refused point blank TO cooperate with
Fairmont business men In trying to get the road
completed before winter stops things definitely, yet
the indifference shown is disheartening and ex-
asperatlng All hope Of closing up the unfinish I'D
gap in the road this fall is practically abandoned.
1t would have been close thing at best, even
with the hearty accord and support of the company
in charge of the work. without this 1t is, of course
impossible. The Chamber OF Commerce has done
its utmost to aid the contractors securing for them
materials that other contractors begged for in
vain. The chamber of Commerce has rendered as
sistauce that other companies engaged in road con-
structiOn would have highly appreciated and gladly
taken advantage Of Farmont and Morgantown
both have been placed at great disadvantage be-
cause of lack OF cooperation from those in charge
OF this construction.

There may be some "nlgger" Dem.

anything but a G. o. P.
The Democratic party is using
my people as cats paws to put:
chestuuts out OF tho fire, and they
have not sense enough to know Il.
All they look for is the dollar. 1t
they would only remember the day 4
gone by when the chains Of slavery

when tho Democrats of the South
whipped them until the blood ran
down their backs and until the
Lord heard their cries and their
prayers and had mercy on them
and made man and sent him to
lead them out of Egypt-that great
and noble Lincoln, the pride of the
good old G. o. r. party.
Think how they lynch our peo.

voters and one OF them said that
he did not care for a "nigger''

thought how true that Is.
I hope the time will soon come

How the Reproducing
Mechanism Operates

'I'HE actual receiving apparatus necessary to
: reproduce radiophone concerts consists Of
three main divisions-thc tuner, the detector
and the receiver.
The first is the actual wireless telephone
circuit, by which the entire receiving appar-
atus Is put into synchronism with the trans
hitting or brcadcasting station. 1t is ex-
tremely easy TO adjust and needs only u
slight turn Of the handle attached TO ii grad
uated disk which generally bears the namo
"luner' engraved on the handle.
The detcctor gets it's from the fact
that it detects the passage of the very minute
wireless currents that pass through the wire

There are many types Of Getector and they

Helpful Information
For Radio Amateurs

'3'hE best results arc obtained through the
medium of the so-caled vacuum tube re-
cclving sets. With these it is possible to
build up and ampiify the ninitesimal cur
rents received from the broadcastin. station
and deliver them TO loud speaking telephone
which reproduces the speech and muse as loud
as though it had originated in the room where
it is being received.
These instruments are extremely sensitive
and need delicate adjustment, but they are
by no means difficult to operate In fact.
once the knack has bcen mastered they can
be adjusted with the eyes closed The ap
paratus containing these sets has been so de-.
veloped that there only two adjustments
necessary to make before results are obtained.
one to adjust the tuner and the other to ad-
just the brightness OF the filament in the
vacuum tube.
With these sets it is necessary to have
six or eight volt storage battery and high
voltage dry cell battery The manner in
Which these are attached to the instruments
is carefully described on the apparatus. SO
that no mistakes can be made. Suitable re-
slstances controlled by little knob regulate
