PRODUCTION OF COAL SHOWS BIG DROP IN AUGUST Digging Must Be Speeded to Avert Shortage Feared by .Some.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 18. Reports to the geological survey on production of bituminous coal show a decrease during August at the, rate of more than 3,000,000 tons a month and indicate that a shortage this winter feared by many government officials nay be a reality unless production .hows a decided increase. Indications that while there will be sufficient anthracite for domestic consumption there may be an insufficient supply of bituminous to keep Industrial plants going at their present capacity. Reports to officials hero say Canadian interests withdrew approximately 1,700,000 tons of bituminous coal from the United States, the period that elapsed between the government Axing of a flat coal price and the placing of the embargo. They are reported to have obtained this large stock by giving from 25 to 50 cents per ton higher than the price set by the American government. Other contributing factors to the situation are the growing needs of France and Italy with which to keep munition factories and other war time Industries going there.

Knitters Face to Face With High Cost

of Being Patriotic

. . i NEW YORK, Sept. 18. Feminine knitters of articles of wearing apparel for soldiers and bailors are beginning to worry about the high cost of being patriotic. An increase of twenty cents a hank in the price of wool today put it at the dollar mark. Since April the price per pound has risen from $1.50 to $2.40 to the Red Cross and other relief organizations that are supplied by the manufacturers and wholesalers at the lowest figures. In all the relief societies, the policy prevails of asking the knitter tof wool to return her finished garment to the society. Consequently, if the knitter wishes to present her own particular hero without something of her own making, she cannot get wool at the reduced prices offered by the relief societies. Manufacturers attribute the rise partly to the fact that the government now is using much raw wool for uniforms, and to the high wages paid mill labor.

Anti-Wilson Feeling Caused by Truth of Words, Says Paper

LONDON. Sent. IS. The Chronicle

in a leading editorial under the head 'despotism doomed," says:

"In Germany just now evidently by preconcerted arrangement, resolutions

are being passed by all sorts of or

ganizations, attacking the American president for his scathing strictures on autocratic power in Germany which

planned this war and in its prosecu

tion has "stopped at no barrier, either

of law or mercy.' . . . This tre

mendous indictment of the kaiser and

his entourage evidently made a deep

impression in Germany. Hence, these

transpired resolutions of protest.

hence the kaiser's message published today And Hindenburg's contemptuous allusion of the American president. . . . These engineered

German protests against President

Wilson's powerful indictment prove that the kaiser, his junkers and the military caste know the stream of the tendency against them."

If you go down to see them on' Thursday you learn that they have left town to return Tuesday and if you go back on Tuesday you learn they have just gone out to lunch.

It is built tight with rivets, not putty therefore it stays tight. HEADQUARTERS FOR DEPENDABLE STOVES AND RANGES
