COAL PRICES
HIGH SAYS
GOVERNOR
$3.50 Profit Per Ton Is Work
ing Against the Use of
Ignite in State
INVESTIGATES CASE
Says Retailers Making Un-
reasonable Profit Pr0duc-
ers Should Probe Question

Coal retailers of the state are
scored by Gov. R. A. Nestos, in a let
ter, addressed to some Of the lead
ink Ignite coal producers Of IL, state,
made public today. That the retail
price Of Ignite coal, especially in the
eastern part of the state is too high
is one of the accusations made by
the governor in the letter the body
of which follows:
"Complaints have come to me that
the retail price of Ignite coal in
this state is too high; so high in
fact as to discourage the use of it
and unwarrantably high considering
the hard times in our state.
"For the purpose Of ascertaining
the true facts, have made inquir-
les and find for instance that Ignite
coal which is advertised to sell in
the Red River Valley cities at $3.50
per ton costs at the mine approx
mately So per ton and that the
freight rate varies from about $1.35
to $1.60. If this be the case, there
is a retailers profit of $3.50 per ton
and it would seem to me that as in
most cases this coal is hauled direct
: ly from the car to the consumer that
the margin is too large and acts to
prevent the large use of Ignite coal
which we so greatly desire in this
state.
81 cannot help but feel that if an
unreasonable profit is charged by
the retailers that the coal producers
themselves ought to take it up and
make sure that the retail price is
SO reduced as to encourage the use
of Ignite coal and still to leave a
reasonable profit for the man who
handles it.
II am sending such letter to each
of dozen companies who presum-
ably are shipping Ignite coal into
the territory from Rugby, New Rock
ford, Carrington, Jsmsstown, and
east, where this problem will Of nee
cessity be the most pressing for solu-
tion. trust you will have this mat
ter looked into without delay"

Child Interprets
Foreign Policy
of United States

New York, Nov. 27-America' g
foreign policy Is not that Of isolation,
but of detached activity, and its
prestige in Foreign chancellories new
err was greater, Richard Washburn
Child, ambassador to Rome, declared
in addressing the Italo-America So
ciety.
During his three years abroad.
through his attendance at the two
biggest International conferences-at
Genoa and Lausanne and since his
return home Mr.. Child said he had
opportunity to examine Americas
moral obligations and he found it
to be moral obligation to be intel
ligent."
1t is insulting to patriotism to say
the United States is standing apart,
he declared, and 'as for clarity, he
added, "be sure that members of in
ternational conferences and leagues
know less about each others plans
and purposes than they know about
the plans and purposes of the United
States
Mr.. Child declared Europe now
recognizes that our good sense, after
tragical lapse. has been restored
and is considered bulwark against
international misfortune"s sKeep
out of the tangle so that you can help
us. You owe 1t to the world"
Little by little, but with sure steps,
those who are now in charge Of our
foreign policy" the ambassador con-
tinued, have repaired the damage to
our prestige abroad which came to
them as heritage from the various
groups who are now asserting that
we are standing apart. At no time in
our history has our opinion been
more potent in the world. At no time
has our good faith been more trusted
and more worthy of trust.
I'VE have contributed billions on
billions to Europe since the war. We
have extended salvation to Russia,
to Asia, to the near East. Our tax
payers have carried the interest Of
the Indebtedness of other nations.
No one believes that is isolation.
"By wise measures of encourage
ment and protection to commerce we
have increased our foreign trade
which is only small fraction of our
total business. But in spite OF the
false tetimony of pesimests we are
still increasing it. 1t is greater than
before the war; greater this year
than last. This is not isolation"

Yesterday afternoon a Rosenberg

inspector Samuel H. Howes.
Mr.. Howes and officials OF the Uni
ted States Lines at this port have
wired New York for orders regarding
the remaining nine immigrants who
are being held at the island. These
foreigners will probably be sent to
either Boston or New York for de-
portation.
1t is rumored now that the local
customs and immigration officers are
to be busy again on December 1. 1t is

ing to be held next March.
While the plans have been accept

that it cannot recommend or approve
the plans submitted to them for in :
creasing the size of the High school

the Old Orchard Board of Education
does not entirely favor them, ex-
pressing the belief that the plans will

plans.

recommended to the voters when they

No Time To Do Housswork

Called away unexpectedly the other
day from her suburban home, Mrs.
Smith grabbed the first piece of blank
paper she could find and wrote on it
a message to the .semiweekly hired
girl who wouldn't be due at the house
for an hour or so.
Clean out the bathroom today"
she wrote. ALSO take down the live
ing room curtains and wash them
and give Oscar, the canary. a BATH
The maid arrived and after reading
the instructions noticed that they
were penned on the iceman's card.
She carefully replaced this in its ac-
customed place.
Late that evening Mrs. Smith re-
turned and, put out the. ice card fof
Tony, who delivers his wares early in
the morning. During the night the
wind overturned the card and the
iceman was confronted with the
message Mrs. Smith had written for
the maid. After leaving the rs
pounds of ice he wrote: Sorry
ma'am, but I hain't NO. time, to clean
out the bathroom or wash the cur
tains or the canary. I'm too busy
delivering ice."-New York Sun and
