HOW TOBACCO CROP
As an illustration
present tobacco crop is
one of his customers—a farmer who
bought his farm a few years ago,
when he went into debt for a con-
siderable sum, which he gradually
paid off, until it had gotten down to
$2,000. A short time ago he told his
banker he would be able to pay off
a thousand dollars this coming
Spring. A few days ago he sold his
tobacco at a good deal better price
than he anticipated, and he will pay
off every dollar he owes and have
a fair sum left. The banker says he
knows of similar cases, and of several
tenant farmers who, with the pro-
ceeds of this and last year’s crops,
will be able to buy homes of their
own.

OSCAR YELLETS MUST BE
THE HARD LUCK GUY
About two weeks ago we made
mention of an accident that befel
Oscar Yellets, colored, who is em-
ployed by Max Brody, of this place.
On Monday afternoon he met with
another mishap. He was unloading
scrap iron from a wagon to a car on
the old line near Brandt & Stehman’s
mill, when his horse frightened, made
a sudden start and threw Oscar to
the ground, fracturing two ribs.

Elsewhere in this issue it may be
geen that choice dressed United

NO MORE REDUCED FARES
Traction Company Will Stop Sale of

| R. B. Hull, general manager of

an interview on Monday, announced
that his company had filed with the
Public Service Commission, a notice
| discontinuing the sale of “cut rate”
tickets, those at six for a quarter,
[and also the monthly nd scholar |

“The company regrets very much
that the

it is forced to m

trolley fares. Three increases in
wages have been given the employes
during the past year and a half, and
the company desires to make further
increases in wages January 1, 1918.
To make this increase in wages ad-
ditional revenues must be secured to

ses,” Mr. Hull said.
“The company held off as long as
ends meet without doing as com-
panies all over the United States are
doing—increasing their fares. Final-
ly we came to the end of the road
and rather than make a flat six-cent
fare or increase regular
fares we thought it better to stop
selling tickets at less than five cents
and at less than the regular suburban
fares.”

BAKER NAMED
COMMISSIONER
LOCAL COAL DEALER HAS
CHARGE OF DISTRICT NO.
5 IN THIS COUNTY—
SOLD BY CARD
SYSTEM
In order that there is an equal dis-
tribution of coal now in the hands of
dealers, the National Fuel Commis-
sioner, in conjunction with the State
Commission, have systematized the
sale of coal for the present. This
move was almost compulsory on the
part of the Commission and had
there been no action in that direc-
tion, the wealthy man would hoard
coal and the poor or laboring man
would be without. As it is now,
each consumer can and will get his
pro rata share according to the
amount he consumed the past year.
Lancaster County has been divided
into eleven districts. Mt. Joy being
part of District No. 5, which in-
cludes all the dealers along the main
line of the Pennsylvania Railroad
from Lancaster to Conewago. Mr.
F. H. Baker, a local dealer, was ap-
pointed commissioner in this district.
His duties are to take care of the
dealer as well com-
plaints. g
Last week he was called to Eliza-
bethtown and found the coal situa-
tion there in bad shape. All the
dealers in that boro combined, did
not have a total of fifty tons on their
yards. On another occasion he was
called to Landisville, one of the:
schools in Rapho township being en-
tirely out of coal. _
Every dealer in the county is re-
quested to have each purchaser of
coal fill out a card and these cards
are sent to headquarters twice a
week. In that manner it is possible |
to keep “tab” on the coal situation
very carefully. If you apply for
coal and have a sufficient supply,
your request will be refused. Fol-
lowing are the questions that you
must answer before you can get coal:
“In accordance with the order of
the United States Fuel Administra-
tor in Pennsylvania, purchasers are
required to make true declaration in
