This applies more particularly to families of five to seven persons with only one breadwinner, and for these in par- Ucular The Evening World demani a 5-cent loaf of bread. The surpl lof whole, cereals and flour in the United States is overwhelming, and the new crop of wheat being har- vested is large beyond the dreams of the optimist. , BIG GOVERNMENT PROFIT IN | $226 WHEAT. | Now it appears that Uncle Sam has made a profit on the turnover of $2.26 wheat to the oxtent of $23,- 090,000, while he e: ts other mid- dlemen to depress their profits, and the farmers are demanding the re- moval of the fixed price of $2.26 a bushel on wheat, thinking, perhaps, that they could haul in this profit themselves instead of letting the Gov- ernment get it. Had Director Barnes heeded the Evening World’s demand for a five-cent loaf millions of con- sumers would be better fed and there would be no $23,000,000 profit to con- fuse and aggravate the producers. In |the item of bread alone, England subsidizes each one of hen, 45,000,000 inhabitants to the extent’ of 12% cents a week and even borrows the money to carry out that policy, which was a wise move inasmuch as it has stabilized her industries and discour- aged uprisings so common in other!) European countries, | The wholesale market on beef is reasonably low in comparison with other meat foods, but lamb and pork are extremely high and should be sub- | stituted by other and cheaper meats. Now is the season to get fresh fruits and vegetables at their best, the wholesale prices are extremely low, and if consumers would use them freely it would encourage the farmers to produce more. The auto truck has revolutionized the freight rates on nearby vege- tables to New York and other mar- kets, It only requires five hours to haul a load of 600 crates of lettuce containing two dozen heada to a crate, from Chester, Orange County, seventy miles to the wholesale dis- trict in New York City, the expenses, including gasoline, lubricant and wages average below 4 cents a pack- age. Other vegetables and fruits can be brought here at proportionate rates; the time required by freight train would be about ten times as long as by auto truck. Potatoes de- clined to $5 a barrel while Long Isl- and cabbages are moderately low in price. HIGH LIVING COST RAISES COST OF DEATH IN CHAIR Sing “Sing’s Executioner Gets In- crease From $50 to $100 for Every Person He Electrocutes, The price pald by the State for exe- cuting murderers in Sing Sing, attend- ants there disclosed to-day, has gone up. State Executioner Hulbert’s fee, it develops, has been made $100 per person electrocuted instead of $50, the price he heretofore was paid. ‘When Executioner Davis resigned four years ago the State cut down the execu. tion fee. He had been paid $250 per per- son electrocuted. For one morning's work he received $1,500 when he put to death six robbers who murdered Mrs, ary, Hall at Croton Lake, Westchester unty, When Hulbert was appointed the fee was reduced to $0, but recently he com- plained that as wages were going up generally the State should allow him more for his services, so very quietly the fee was increased, U.S. COAL FOR SWITZERLAND Costs Around $35 a Ton, as Against #24 for European Product. BERNE, July 1.—Several @teamers have arrived at Rotterdam with Amer- fean coal for Switzerland. ‘This coal costs from 170 to 180 francs (around $35) per ton, against 123 froncs, 40 centimes for German coal. ‘The American coal is delivered un- conditionally, while Germany, France and Belgium require return shipments of cattle, condensed milk, cheese and jother pr | ——_ Gran Rapips| FURNITURE CREDIT TERMS “ 7500 Apartments | 7 .@ 4 1990 \19e 1990 15% 29900 | | Free 250 * 300.00 BET .

Coal consumers have failed to buy for use during the coming Fall and Winter. Thus it has proved impossible to keep coal moving from the mines, and production in conse- quence has badly slumped. Available mine labor has been reduced by the departure of miners to Europe. than forty thousand already have arranged to leave. Motive power and cars are waiting for coal transportation now. Soon the nation’s great crops of grains and other products will con- gest the rails and glut the terminals. It fol- lows that coal transportation facilities will be sharply reduced and coal deliveries will suffer. Coal Production Dangerously Below The Safety Line Buy Your Coal NOW The chart below shows the perilous situation which confronts coal consumers today. the United States Geological Survey. ' That broad, black line you see, marks, in addition, the average daily coal production essentia/ to meet the country’s requirements for the present year. aN ; It is the safety line. When the record is below that line, it shows there is not enough coal for the people and their industries. Production has been on the wrong side of the safety line since January. It promises to stay there unless YOU BUY YOUR COAL NOW.

Oct, Nov, Dec. 4 In making public the above chart, the United States Geological Survey warns you as follows: “The best time in the year for laying in stocks of coal for next Winter is rapidly pass- ing, with no evidence of general buying for this purpose. The rate of production has not varied greatly since the middle of May, and averaging about 30 per cent below last year, is apparently just sufficient to meet current consumption.” How can production be increased? How can the requirements of the country be met? BY BUYING YOUR COAL NOW. There is no other way. No other action can avert the impending shortage. Relief rests with you. Conditions urge you to act.
