But they don’t—or he wouldn't be the old-grouch-next-door. He’s eccentric and mean and cranky —and won't let the children run across his lawn, All in all he’s just about the worst neighbor it is pos- sible to imagine. And you swear by all that is holy that if his house burned down and you could save him, you'd let the old crank crackle in the flames. ‘But you wouldn’t. You just think so.. That’s just what Christine Trevor always said she would do. Joshua Barton was the old man next door. He was everything a good neighbor shouldn't be. And Christine hated him. Then one night came the test. The Barton. house caught. fire. The’ old man, a hopeless invalid, the only one ‘in the place.

This, would supply the nation’s needs for about seven weeks, if all mines were shut down, including non-union: mines. Coal reserves are being increased only 1,000,000 tons a week. The country now is consuming soft coal at the rate of 9,000,000 tons a week. That’s 3,000,000 tons a week more than could be produced by ‘all non-union mind; running at 100 per cent capacity. Using these figures, coal operators say that an actual coal shortage, ‘in event the union miners strike, would not. develop for four or five months. The miners’ strongholds are Ohio. Indiana and Illinois. These three states are most strongly unionized at present, and the coa\;, they produce would be first to develop a tightened market. Freight Cars Idle: freight cars now total about 440,000, compared with 623.852 idle cars the first of the year. se fig- ures include good-order cars ready for | use, also cars out of commission be- cause they need repairs. Freight Movement An average of 750,000 cars of freight a week are being loaded on all American railroads, This ‘i's around 54,000 cars a weck, more than a year ago. ‘About half of the gain'is due to heavy buying of coal in anticipation of a coal strike. Stored Oil | Refiners have in storage enough gasoline to supply the country for 40 days. Other stocks are approximate- ly: Kerosene, 60 days; fuel and gas oil, 50 days; lubricating oils, 100 days. |, Premiums on crude are offered again in Texzis, where pipe-line com- panies admit they are having diffi- culty contracting as much ‘production as they want. Prices Prices, after a temporary stiffen- ing, again are slipping. Wholesale ay prices average about 48 per cent higher than pre-war, with cost of liv- ing about 50 to 55 per cent higher than in 1914. : Wool Wool consumption in leading’ na-| that. tions now is up almost to the pre-war rate. Raw stocks are getting lower. Wool stocks in: United States are the lowast in 10 years, the wool industry is for equilibrium within a few months, Japan Japan, where world depression started on a big scale, reports that its exports in January were worth 87,- 200,000 yen, against 75,067,000 yen in January, 1921. The gain in physical volume of trade is much larger, for prices are lower now than a year ago.

Irrigation Aid Regent, N. D., March. 6.—Farmers and businessmen jn this district will circulate petitions protesting against the general loaning cf more money to farmers with which to gamble again agains the dry years on wheat yields. The petitions will set forth that ,another poor year would drive many farmers out of the country after their last try at the wheat gamble leaving the rest holding the sack and forced to costly bond issues. Instead of furnishing big sums for wheat seed loans, the petitioners will urge that the government finance the building of dams along the creeks, Cannon Ball river and coulee water- sheds and develop irrigation projects to provide the moisture to insure grain: yields. ¥ |EVERETTTRUE ——«_—sBY CONDO | YES, SOMEBODY HAS HANDED You 4A BuM QUARTER, ALL RIGHT LA WHAT ARE “OU SOING To DO @ia=s OH, Tee SUP : IT TO SOM i STIRSET CARR CONDVETOR.
