Coal is Again Scare*:
The city is again without coal and
a few of the people are using just
anything that is obtainable for fuel.
The conditions are such that it ap-
pears almost impossible to have all
our wants supplied at the same time.
For a while we boasted a sugarless
town as well as a saltless and coal-
less town, but the sugar famine has
been relieved by the arrival of a cou-
ple of cars. A supply of salt has
also been received and we are sitting
nice in that line. A car of coal would
now be welcomed. Several cars have
been received during the past few
weeks, but a car does hot go \fery
far, even if it is handed out in small
quantities.
