continent advanced from less than
a half million tons in 1918 to about
100000 in 1919, the year following
the close of the war, and 1900, 900
in 1920, but dropped to less than
one-half million tons in 1922, in
which year our exports of coal to
the whole world fell off about one
half as compared with 1921. The
fact that the exports of bitumi-

1922 showed an increase of 500
in quantity when compared with

Total for 1922 larger than in any
one year since 1913. Demand for
works ever 100 years old growing.

=. Europe sent US last year more

this increase is due to a growing

Mr.. Mrs. Roix Leave
for Oakland Home

Mr.. and Mrs. G.. A. Roix, former
superintendent and matron at City
Farm. left for their home in Oakland
Wednesday. They made many friends
while in Hallowell and their going
will be regretted. Both Mr.. and Mrs
Roix expressed themselves as CRATE
full to the people of Hallowell for
their kindness and courtesy in their
relations toward them. Mr.. Roix
spoke particularly of the kindness Of
Mr.. Robinson and Mr.. Perkins in
having the water put in for them in
1917, and of the help the team of
horses granted them by the city gov
eminent in 1918 had been. and also
OF the helpfulness of DIR. J. D. Nut
ting and the city officials with whom
he was connected.
Mr.. and Mrs. RoiX were six years
at-the head of the city farm. During
that time the institution has had most
excellent reports from the inspectors
of the State Board of Charities and
Corrections. The years Of their oc-
cupancy We're from 1917 to 1928.
They go to their former home in Oak
land, where they will conduct farm.

Bitumineus shipments in December
1922 double those Of corresponding
month in 1921. United States has
over half The worlds supply.

Announcement that 10000 tons
of British shipping has been chart
'e:ed for the transfer of coal from
the United States to the ports of
continental Europe suggests, ac-
cording to the Trade Record of
The National City Bank, that our
,ales of coal to that greatest coal
importing market of the world
may return to the comparatively
high record attained in recent
years. Qnite naturally our coal
exports to all PARTS of the world
Hell off during the past year. The
1922 exports of coal were only
1879 million tons against 24H
million in 1921, but the fact that
the outward movement in the clos
ing. months of 1922 was far in cx-
cess of the same months of 1921
suggests that the movement to
foreign markets has already been
resumed and will be further slim
ulated by the orders coming from
Great Britain, the worlds greatest
coal mining country outside of the
United States.

received its chief coal supplies
