Some coal consumers are holding off making pur chases, basing their action upon the belief that the United States Government will control the coal mines. We do not see wherein the United States Gov ernment will be able to do more towards increasing production than is now being done. The same labor must be used and unless this can be increased, production cannot be increased. The President of the B. & O. Railroad, claims that 75 per cent of the facilities of the country's rail roads will be necessary to win the war. Car supply is inadequate now—if more cars are taken from the coal trade the condition will become unspeakable. Help yourself now by getting in your order while there is yet time. When the acute shortage hits the country this fall and winter will be a bad time to scramble for your fall requirements. United Ice & Coal Co., Forster & Cowden Sts. J.S.
