Dear Folks Today we stand with lowered head. where lle our honored soldier dead; by word and act we try to show we've not forgot the debt we owe; we decorate each silent grave, in memory of what they gave. We pause a while, with teardimmed eye, where silent, cold and still they He; we pause a while in silent prayer and lay our floral tribute there; we pause a while in vain regret; we pause a while— and then forget! Is this the only way we know to pay the mighty debt we owe? What coin to pay for all they gave early grave! Is there no nobler, better way that, tho they're gone, we still can pay? Yes! We whom Fate has left behind must pay the things they gave in kind; for sometime, somehow, pay we must, with heart for heart and trust for trust; the faith they gave—dare we betray, by sacrificing less than they? ; We cannot reach them thru the grave, to give them back the gift they gave; yet, from the sepulcher we hear their message whi pered low but clear, “Your debt of Love you still may give to count lews other folks who live!” | So let us give our lives for theirs, and live to lighten others’ cares; to foster, every way we can, the brotherhood of man to || man; and crown, with living diadem, a fit Memorial to Them! | YESTERDAY'S BIT-T +s Mane ~K + TACK - TA «BISMARCK! their days of strife, their || THE fe) CRAP BooK SEATTLE STAR LEARN A WORD EVERY DAY Today's word is ANOMALY.

Throughout the United States the average price of coal and coke is now 93% higher than it was in 1913—while today’s Black Diamond price, which is representative of all our coal prices, is LESSVTHAN 50% HIGHER THAN ITS LOW 1913 PRICE. Any criticism of coal prices in general does not apply to the Pacific Coast Coal Company. We have liquidated every cost which could be liqui- dated-—expenses and profits have been cut to the bone—distribution has been simplified—pro- duction methods have been increased in effi- ciency—all with the result that Pacific Coast Coal prices have advanced practically only one half as much as the national coal and coke aver- age. In other words, the national average ad- vance over 1913 price is almost twice as much as the Pacific Coast Coal advance. r While Black Diamond Lump today costs less than 50% more than it did in 1913, chemicals and drugs cost 74% more, building materials cost 60% more and fruits cost 50% more.
