DO NOT NEGLECT COAL-BU;ING. ‘We shop early for Christmas goods fo help lighten the labor of the clerks, apd it will be wise this year to buy ecoal early if you would avoid a high £ The demand for anthracite coal has been slow and there is a surplus of a few million tons on hand, but this has pot materially affected the price which. is high and promises to remain so be- cause of the constantly increasing de- mand in the south. We are told one préminent Richmond agency states that its sales within the last few weeks have exceeded by more than 50,000 tons those for a corresponding period last year. The reason coal is likely to rise soon In price is because the war has in- tetfered with South America’s trade with England, and we learn the repub- lics to the southward are making ev- sry effort to arrange for large im- portations of American coal, and when It is realized that British shipments South America of that indispen- & commodity have amounted an- bually to semething over 6,000,000 tons, while America has contributed only some 350,000 tons, the reason for ‘ex- rfifl lmp advances in price soon Those who contract for their coal $t once will have no reason later to pgret delay. COMMERCIAL EXPANSION. The real cause of the unrighteous about to drench Europe in hu- blood ie the competition for place pnd power among the nations. It has truly said: “Commerce is king this world and it carries politics with it as its servant” What the sutcome of the war will be no one can tell—whichever side wins the dif- Sculty of apportioning territory and epproving indemnities will be such that there may be another war grow sut of their disagreements to fight to the finish, It 18 natural America should not de- sire a victory for Germany, for shs has large colonies in Brazil and Ar- 3 gentina, some 30 per cent. of the pop- Klation of southern Brazil being of origin. e Monroe doctrine has prevented the German seizure of a part of the tontinent. A victory for Germany means that she will eventually at- t to exploit South America for business as she has China.

By it he saved for a workingman his right arm, which the leading physician sald was incurable and. must be amputated makihg no charge for, his services, and similar wonderful cures he did for hundreds of others. The correctness of his the- ory has been proven a thousand times. Approaching 74 he had the physical action of a ‘man 35 years younger and walked with his hat in his hand and a glow on his face and a faith in his work, ~his fellowmen. and his God. a living -example_of the rewards which come of abstinence and the revivifying power of a salf-sacrificing spirit and a cheerful Heart, e Men ‘and women of noté from all parts of the world came to Norwich to confer with him ‘and chronic. invallds who by his counsel were made whole are Dblessing his name and his “true sciencé ‘of living” on three continents to say nothing of the islands of the seas. z The latest gospel in this world is “Know thy work and §o it!” _¥e knew his work amd did it and the gospel he preached is imperishable. THE MAN WHO DORSN'T PAY. How to keep track of the absconding debtor is a problem it Is up“to the trade to solve. The grocer, the baker and the clothier, the provision dealer, the coal dealer and thé boarding house -are taxed too heavily by the classes who cannot pay if they would, and would not pay if they could. The New York State Retail Gro- cers’ association is demanding a state law to compel any family moving away from a given house to register its new | address at-the ‘nearest police atation to the old one. This is in line with the agitation by the city organization of grocers to make the moving van people furnish to the police the same sort of a record. The object is to keep track of debtors and lessen the aggregate of the losses of retail gro- cers in bad bills. The trouble with such a scheme as this is that it subjects the honest, in- dustrious citizen to an indignity every time he moves his family from one place to another. Police registration would not' be considered a respectable requirement for tenants who pay their they would bitterly regret their folly. This show of bravado greatly irri- tated Mr. Gray, who replied with some heat about the bravery of women in general; and, as is usuvally the case, one word' led to another until is hitherto loving couple retired with 4n- ger in their hearts, In ‘the morning instead of making up, as any right-minded couple should have done, some perverse fate made them more disagreeable than ever; and so matters went on with little or no change for almost a year, until af- tér an unusually nagging time of it, John arranged his affairs so that his wife should be well cared for. and packed his trunk and left for parts unknown, At first 8 scandal was caused in the village by such unheard of pro- ceedings; but Mrs. Gray declared de- flantly that she was glad of it, and that she could now begin to enjoy her life, as she had not been able to do when living with a cranky man, But after awhile time begun to hang) heavy on her hands after she had serubbed and cleaned until there was no longer any dirt to clean, and all the mild dissipations of village life had been exhausted, she sometimes found herself wondering if after all they had not been foolish.. Then she, for such a strong-minded woman, began to have attacks of “nerves” and was haunted in her dreams by burglars breaking into the house and taking the best silver. So disturbed did she become that she hid the silver in the attic and went to sleep with John's revolver under the pillow. About this time more rumors begun to circulate about a masked man seen on the outskirts of the town and at- tempted robberies in adjoining towns, and Mrs, Gray's nerves became worn so thin that the cat hardly dared purr in the house. It is quite certain that if John had but returned at this time he would have been received with open arms; but he did not come, and night- ly the doors were bolted and barri- caded with heavy furniture and pans hung about them, while thé windows were carefully nailed down. The poor woman worked herself into a panic ang on the stormy night we speak of she huddled herself into the big chair by the fire, and' every time the wind shook the big maple by the corner of the'house she would shaké with terror. Abdout 10 o'clock she made every- thing secure, put the cat in his bed and went upstairs. For a long time she lay listening to the rain and wind Political Gossip Politicé. in Connesticut. ‘With the meeting of the democratic state central committee in Hartford bills, and it goes without saying it that the larger part of them do. Declining to run largs accounts is wisdom on the part of trade unless a guaranty of settlement is furnished. The man who cannot pay small bills is not likely to pay large ones. The men who have to be chased and dunned are not acceptable cred- itors and every small tradesman has the names of top many of these on his books and they are successful in beating him because he ‘hasn’t time to follow them up and it is not profit. able to employ a collector. The business losses of the dealers are altogether too great and ‘it is mot surprising . they are looking for some way to keep track of the cheats and to keep them on the harassing line until théy pay up.

Wednesday’s meeting developed a few democratic squabbles, ‘which augurs well for more liveliness later in the cam; .

Interest in these events, in August, foreshadows enthusiasm when the real campaigning starts a little later. It looks as if an old- time political campaign would be waged In Connecticut, and the politi- cians are eager for it.

EVERY DAY REFLECTONS It's coming! see signs of coming. People are not going to live forever ghost ridden, habit bound, institution choked. Some day they are going to make up and do things for themselves. For instance, the bureau of educa- tion of the United States government tells in a circular letter what is going on in LaSalle, IIl The people there have established a social center, grouped around their high school. It serves:- about 30,000 people from the towns of LaSalle, Peru and Oglesby and the ' surrounding country. First they have a township high school, which teaches not only the usual high school subjects but trains pupils for agriculture, business and teaching. There are fine laboratories, lecture rooms and experimental plots. The acute accent is on the agricuil- taral courses, Also there are splendid opportunities for art and music. Girls are schooled in domestic science. Hot lunches are served. _ Then there is a social center build- ing, attacheq to the main school build- ing by a roofed gallery.
