WASHINGTON. — How the
prices .of anthracite coal have been
forced steadily upward for the
past ten years, and how these In
creased prices have been split be
tween production costs, transpor
tation and profits, is shown by a
statistical analysis of coal costs
just compiled by the U. S. Coal
Commission.
In 10 years both the wholesale
and retail price of coal just about
doubled.
In 1013, the average retail price
of stove anthracite in Boston was
$8.25. In Washington it was $7.50.
Today the prices, respectively,
are $15.00 and $15.39.
Since 1913 the freight rate from
the anthracite field to Boston has
increased $1.25 « ton, to Washing-

Is quoted as haring said:

haps bo tho last -burgorllch- chan
cellor of Germany. It may bo tho
end. If that happens It will bo more
of Europe than of Germany which
will succumb to Balshevlsm.”
Dr. Stresemann, advocated a
triple understanding among
1 Franco, Great Britain nnd (Jer-

agreement was the only thins that
could possibly bring pence to
Europe. Then, commenting on the
i food problem, tbe chancellor said:

there nro millions of tons of fresh
meat In Germany we have not th.

WHY IS THIS A GOOD
TIME TO ADVERTISE?
At this season of the year
the alert merchant faces his
big importunity.
If lie waits, the public will
wait—so rar as -his store bt
concerned.
Hut it own't stand still. It
will turn elsewhere.
Trading habits are being re-
daily. 1‘hc nc*t few
months will determine what
direction they are to take.
Such n time as this is the
chance to make new frienda
and rt-iifw old f riendahip*.
Alert store-keeping—which in
cludes. alert advertising—will
pav big dividends just now.
The public doenn’t care much
for the store that wears cob
webs. Nothing but old friend
ship holds trade for such a
placet And old friends die
off.
The newr friends come from
the readers of newspaper ad
vertising.
