THE COAL SITUATION

With not a pound of coal co be had locally, except pea coal, people are beginning to wonder what they will burn for fuel next winter. True, winter seems long way off, but already the days are little shorter and with the short days come plans which include the filling of coal bins. Therefore the coal strike which seemed insignificant several weeS back is coming nearer home each day.
 According to the producers of anthl acite coal, the increase in wages demanded by the miners would amount to about $17O,OOO,O0O. O. approximately $500 per ton, or domestic sizes. The wage proposals contemplated by the operators would amount to a reduction of 21 per cent from the rates fixed by the Presi- dents commission in 1920. This reduction, according to the operators, is offset by the reduction in the cost of living amounting to about 23To.
 The operators contend that the problem which they must meet is to sell coal at price which the public can pay. As time passes and the

PROHIBITION THE CAUSE?

In many places we read of this and that thing occurring, of disgusting nature, which directly or indirectly is laid at the door of prohibition. Like every other dog with pad reputation prohibition is undoubtedly blamed for many things that have absolutely no connection. However, be that as it may, we know of one conditional deplorable condition that did not exist in the days pre- vious to the Volstead act. To put it mildly, we are told on good authority that imbibing of intoxi- cants to such an extent takes place after some of the dances at the town hall, that the obscene and abusive language used by both young men and women makes one shuddeT.
 This situation or condition has not sprung up suddenly, for according to those intimate with the situation it has been going on for nearly two years. The News has refrained from calling attention to it because of the undesirable notoriety it would give the community and because we believed that sooner or later the authorities would take a hand in the matter. Nothing has been done, however, and the result is a more fragrant disregard for either social or moral ethics and laws.
 Abusive or obscene language is generally considered akin to breach of the peace. If warnings and then prosecutions followed, it would soon remedy the condition. At least the bottles and jugs said to be used ir connection with these orgies should prove substantial grounds for ar investigation.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Two Harbors, Minn.

Two Harbors, Minn. .. June 29, 1922. To the Editor of the News:
 1 notice there is lots of baseball news in the Canaan paper nowadays. I would like to tell your readers about a ball game tha; was played ill Fast Canaan in 1872 (July sth, l872) I lived in South Canaan then and worked for the American Marble and Lime Go. A lot of us boys got up a Baseball Club, we called it the Rough and Ready Baseball Club. We did not have much chance to practice but we thought we could trim some of the class around there. They made me secretary of the club, so l challenged the championss of East Canaan to play us on their own ground as we had no ground of our own. The 4th came on Sunday that year so we played on the 9th. Let me tell you it was some game. We went up there with Josh Colby's mule team in great style. We had a uni form of blue flannel pants and white wrappers. Ben Colby was the captain. We played the full nine innings, and there was some runs made that day. It was very hot that day and the boys were very thirsty. So the East Canaan boys provided a big cask of cider, and it was we'll patron ized by our boys of the R. R. B. B. Oh we'll it might have been worse they only beat us 100 runs. The score was 118 to IS. l have often thought since that the champions must have had some design in view when they furnished that big cask of hard cider.
 We did better after that. We played several of the small clubs in that vicinity. The Weatogue farmers, the Green Mountain boys of Sails bury, the Red Stars of Falls Village, | the Bennevistors of Huntsville and others. umpired one game or Falls Village fair grounds, and have never had hankering for an umpire 1 job since.

 Postscript-I forgot to mention that Bud Yorker was the captain o1 the East Canaan Club, and a young man by the name of Cassidy accepted the challange. Your for good sport c. A. H.

RUDE RURAL RHYMES
Being a Boy

belnS a DOy
 You know the Quaker poet writes of barefoot boys and their delights, of barefoot boys with cheek of tan and summer hills o'er which they ran-attractive pictures for the faded, in rural rhymes that have mine faded, but of their truth Pm not persuaded. If at my side some potent fairy, with wings and wand both waving airy, should stop and offer me the joys which appertain to barefoot boys I'd say What mischief are you brewing? Don't vamp me dear; there's nothing doing. Go off and tempt some other man to be a boy with cheek of tan" My tan was localizeh in speckles; 1 was a boy with cheek>of freckles, legs scratched with thorns and stuck with stubble and bruised with stones and other rubble. I had no money when l would have, I had no hanky when l should have. I loved the pretty school marm misses, but primer kids got all the kisses, or grown up lads who had the pluck; and half grown boys were out of luck. Too many rocks waylaid my toe; the new nails took too long to grow. The thorhs of life too oft would prick me, too many iackknives used to nick me. too many other boys could lick me Too many bosses kept me harried I have but one since 1 got married

differences, of operators and miners seem no nearer a settlement, the public has cause to worry about more than the price of coal per ton. Naturally the price is important but not so important as the actual necessity which, exists in some places for coal. r. .. e..
 If operations are resumed at Che mines soon it will enable producers to supply only bare necessities of consumers before cold weather comes, which is far from a pleasant outlook.

According to testimony brought out in the case, Daniels was in a negro restaurant affecting the ar rest of a negro, and when the black resisted arrest, the officer on trial shot him. Later in the night the body of Mrs. Ballenger was found lifeless on the front porch by her children upon their return from a moving picture show.
