But it {s evident that the President will ask Congress to modify the Vol- stead act at Jeast as far as allowing foreign ships to carry liquor in our waters, if the recent ruling of Judge Hand is affirmed. It is thought pos- sible that further modification of the Volstead will come, favoring American shipping. From that modi- fication may come easily a modifica- tion to the alcoholic content beverages.

We can buy coal as cheaply as the dealers in nearby cities, but we cun only get about one-twentieth of the city's needs. Cities where only low priced coal has been purchased are noty receiving anywhere near enough for their immediate wants 2. Our preseut s«tock of coal is the vesult of our knowing and under- standing the situation, and we believe you will be very thankful that we had the good sense to purchase coal at any price a ton, 3. Tt was foresight not the lack of it that caused us to get coal at any | price, as we believe events will prove, 4. We are sure that any dealer in a nearby city could explain his busi- ness to you better than we can, and feel sure that he would he pleased to do so. But don't forget to ask him how much coal he has recelved and how much he is delivering. 5. We have no doubt but that fig- ures on a single ton would show thefr margin to be greater than ours, but their gross figures over almost any period are very liable to show a loss. 6. As patiently explained through the press, the fuel commission, and the dealers. We can buy coal and sell it for a profit at $16.50, but {f we all do this you and thousands of other citizens are going to be mighty cold. Up to the present time New Britain would have received but 20 cars instead of 240 if only low priced coal had been bought. Now Mr. Questioning Citizen: Do you realize that we are today facing the most serious situation that has ever occurred during the history of coal? . Do you realize that even at best this country will be short millions of tons, and New Britain under the most favorable circumstances will be short around 25,000 tons? Do you realize that the coal-carry- ing railroads are in a pitiable state, some of them being almost com- pletely paralyzed? Do you realize that in the mines, | the railroads and the dealers now have 12 months' work to do in four | months, and that if you and thou- sands of other citizens wait until we have a foot of snow before you order coal, that all the coal equipment in | town will not be able to get coal to ecveryone (if we have it) in a day or {two? | Do you realize that if you had had | more foresight this spring when the | dealers urged you to put in a little | coal that you would have done more to prevent the present situation than can now be accomplished in a year? Have you ever gone to your coal dealer and asked him to sit down and explain the situation to you? Has vour information about the coal situ- ation come from reliable sougces or from hearsay? If you won't believe vour Jocal coal dealers who have thousands of dollars invested {n their business and pretty good reputations !in the community, why don’t you get the correct information from reliable sources? Write to the Bureau of Mines at Washington, ask your local | freight agent what he knows about the railroads, go into your bank and them ahout your coal dealer's Whatever you do be cer- tain to get authentic information be- fore you make statements. And let us suggest that you read the articles about coal by Tloyd Parsons that ap- peared in the Saturday Evening Post. A LOCAL DEALER. | ask reputation.

Sheldon was| elected president to succeed Paul K.| Rogers, resigned. It was also an-| nounced that the annual roll call for) members will begin this year on No- vember 11. Other officers were chosen lows, all being re-elections: ' Vice-chairman, Mrs. 1. D. Russell; treasurer, Leon A. Sprague, and sec-| retary Farl Kisselbrack. The officers| with the following make up the ex- ecutive committee: Mrs. J. H. Robin- son, William F. Brooks and E. W. ]r-‘ ving. The executive committee and’ the following make up the board of di- rectors: Rev. L.ucyan Bojnowski, Rev. John T. Winters, Fred G. Piatt, Paul| K. Rogers, Gcorge P. SpeAr, Deter Crona, Morris B. Saxe, Charles F.| Bennett and Dr. Fred P. Lee. | The chapter voted a contribution of | $500 for relief in Smyrna. President| raul K. RBgers read his report for two years: Report of President. The report of the president for the year follows: “During the last two years the work | of the New Britain Chapter of the American Red Cr has been coh- fined almost entirely to the home | service department. Tn the autwmn of 1920, on account of the extremely severe industrial depression the home service department was overwhelmed with calls for aid from ex-service men | who had been laid off on account Ofi lack of work.
