INVEST IN MANHOOD AND WOMANHOoD

DR.. John A. Flood was talking to me the other day
about ambitious young fellow of New Hope who is
seeking State scholarship to enable him to secure
college education. / passed it personally to Sena-
tor Buchanan who has to approve it, and the scholarship
is expect to be Forthcoming.
During my conversation with DR.. Flood he dropped
a thought which has stuck like burr in my mind. He
advocated the raising of local fund from which the
income could be used to help worthy boys and girls
continue their educaon He argued that such boys and
girls could be depended to repay the loans soon
they leave college and begin making money. Thus
the fund would gradually grow it is started.
We invest in health by employing community nurs-

Why can't We invest in manhood and womanhood
by aiding boys and girls to go to college if they
are worthy and have the native talent which to
build?

COAL DEALER OBJECTS TO
STATEMENTS OF PRICES

Recently l wrote in this column that good soft Goa
could be bought at the mines for $275 ton, and that
freight Lambertve from the mines is $2.96 ton
a total of $5.71 a ton
G. w. Massey, local dealer, took issue with or
it, pointing that the graded coal he had been selling
since the strike began cost him $500 ton at the
mines And he showed me bills to prove it.
He also showed bill for freight covering one
of $500 pounds of coal for $2310 This amounted
to 1924 gross ton of 2240 pounds, 1882 net
ton of 1000 pounds And the net ton rate is less
than | quoted above. Coal is sold by the dealers
by the net ton
If the above mentioned dealers price at the mines
of $500 by the net ton then the freight of S2S2
made it cost him 1882 in Lambertvle If the cost at
the mines was by the gross ton, then it cost even
less.
