PITTSBURGH. Pa. Aug, 20 (By
The Associated Press).-The bitu-
minous mines of the Pittsburgh dis
trict can fill all the demands of New
England for coal on a days notice

ton into the open market for fuel.
The price at the Triple for the best
grades of gas coal today was 1926
to $3.50 a ton.
This statement was made by lead
ers in the industry. There would be
no delay in shipment, it was added,
as the railroads had enough motive
power and m to move all the tom
mage offered.

COOLSPRTNC GRANGE

The Coolspring Grange met Friday
evening, January 9Th, with a majority
of the members present, which we
hope was an indication of the inter-
est manifested by them. This being the
first meeting of the new year the lee
turer had prepared 4 special program
which was well rendered. Each mem
ber responded to the roll call by offer
ing resolutions for the success Of the
grange. There were recitatiOns by
Dorothy Dodd and Charlotte Joseph;
also readings by Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
DOdd. Special music was rendered.
All of the new officers for the pres
ent year were installed. We are glad
of the reelection of Edward T..
Vaughn as worthy master. We feel
that he is the fright man in the right
place." Appreciation of our worthy
lecturer, Mrs. Chas. I. Joseph, was al
so shown by her reelection. She has
worked hard for the success of the
grange and it is a duty encumbent
upon every patron to aid her in every
possible way.
A very interesting feature of the
evening was the delightful manner in
which our worthy master and his wife
served refreshments, consisting of ap-
pies, fruit punch and several kinds Of
cakes. The abundance and variety of
refreshments showed some of the gen
erous qualities possessed by our wor-
thy master and his wife. The rapidity
in which these "eats" disappeared be-
spoke not only of their quality, but
was a good indication of the apprecia-
tion on the part of the patrons. Under
such efficient leadership as our grange
we prophesy success for
the coming year. In order to have this
cooperation is necessary. Let us all
as loyal grangers do this and make
our coming years work the best in
the history of our grange.

The locale of the story is just any
small American community where red

may be found in any such community
not forgetting those characters which
N their own ego, have closed their
eyes to the small kindnesses and have
instead, sought to rule others through
the small authority given them In
the portrayal of life in this community
the screen drama points out clearly
and wildly the gross errors of a peo-
pie content to believe a1on in Their
own thoughts. A flood scene, which is
said to b e the most realistic and STU

the climax to story which tells of
