SIXTEEN PAGES The Monroe Journal, Tuesday, March 23, 192Q SIXTEEN PAGES vvvxvxvxxxvxxvvx COAL! COAL! - COAL! - COAL! COAL! J The coal situation during February and March has been the worst we have ever experienced. In ad- dition to a coal shortage and a car shortage, it has been impossible to get coal delivered oy tne rauroaas after being shipped. A large part of the coal shipped to us has been confiscated or gone astray.. Naturally we ran out and Monroe has faced a real coal famir.t , along with Concord, Salisbury High 'Point, Thomasville, Greensboro and ether towns. However, we are getting coal delivered now with fair regularity, and can make prompt deliveries on ton and half ton lots. JVe are not in any position to make prices on coal for summer delivery as yet, due to the fact that all the mines are behind with their orders and will not make any contracts, until they find- out what the Board appointed by the President is going to do re garding wages." The foreign trade is offering fancy prices for both steam and domestic coal, and higher freight rates are predicted, with no improvement in the car shortage soon, so we believe we are safe in saying that prices on coal will not be any cheaper, after the Government turns loose the coal industry on April :0th.

Todd of Oxford University," write Mr. J. S. Wanna uiaker, presldeut of the American i Cotton Association, -a great expert, requesting a conference with me and members of the asocial ion. He sails from England on the 6th of March. 1 Ho sends me one of his addresses and 1 note that the English are using all of our literature, and Prof. Todd ad vises that our literature had been used In addresses before parliament, university lectures and manufactur er's associations, pointing out the complete change that is lacing the cotton industry as a result of our work. All of this convinces me that the work being done by our assocla- , tion is bearing fruit. i "I receive letters askaig for prac tically every known niece of Informa tion; Just in receipt of aletier front a rural school boy in Missouri regard ing (he cotton mule. 1 em-lore you a hurried!?- written reidy:" I . Webster Groves. Missouri, I February 19, 1920. 'Mr. J. S. Wanuamaker, President, American Cotton Association, St. Matthews, S. C. Dear Sir:- Would you please give me Kinie Information on the Cotton Mule? I urn a boy living out of the cotton states and our agriculture lu school requires us to know something about them. If you cannot give me any information would ou kindly put me In touch with some one who can. Your respectfully, Karl 11. Paschur. Mr. Earl K. Paschur, Webster (jiove. Mo., Dear .wr. Puscnur:- 1 hute your, Ittti r cf February Huh. llio i, mi tion ton ask is not at all clear lo me. We buy a great many mules lroiii Missouri, et you ask for information on the cotton mule. If ou refer to the mule that we buy in Missouri and Kentucky and which we have recently learned to r.u.sti in the Soiitii mirier our program or dnersilicaiiou in tanum:; then you refer to nu animal that Utu not exist at the time of the ntk, and evidently due to the fact iHiit he U unable to trace his pediuee baik to the misty ages of the past he frequently e presses liis regret la a sound that it is impossible to imitate- aiul extreme ly dist rossing to Fif.it' ; however, he run console himself with the fact that llulaam, of Iiibllrnl fame, rode one of his paternal ancestors and doubtless he has maternal nneeslors hack to (ho famous team driven by Uen-Hur in I lie chariot race. Without the mule v.e cannot make cotton, so that he performs a won derful service. Cotton clothes nine tenfhs of the world, brings the bal ance of trade to America and main tains our gold reserve. Without the mule we could not cultivate the soil of (ho South at nil. The South has reticently made irementV'is strides In (he production of her crops so that without I he mule almost the entire fertile section of the South would be uncultivated; hence, on one side the mule Is an aristocrat, regardless of (he fact that he cannot trace his an cestry back to the time of the ark; and on the other side he Is a philan thropist, furnishing clothing and food (o the world. He is also a great fi nancier, furnishing to America, as staled above, the balance of trade and her gold reserve; without the services of the mule England would perish, the financial fabric of England being denendent on cotton and the nrodtic- !tlon of cotton dependent on the mule. While the mule has many valuable points and appears to be very docile he carries with him a kick almost ns deadly- as a Galling gun. and If we could have Legislation passed which would force the unnecessary middlemen who stand between the producer and the consumer to stand for-a few second In the rear of the mule lie would bring tremendous ben efits to civilization by kicking them Into the next world and I am strongly inclined to think that it would be the lower world. The mule, or his ancestral fore parents received more Divine atten tion than any other known animal. He Is the only animal ever used for the purpose of performing a miracle, and strange to say as the result of the question he asked he actually forced man to think. It Is a great tiltv that he could not again to-day he endowed with the power of speech. I feel convinced that he could give some very valuable advice to some of our statesmen, both national and local. In fact I believe he could give valuable advice to the entire human race. I often give advice that I af terward find out was fir from correct, much more Incorrect than that a mule cnnM srlve wpre he able to ''nk. The mule was the greatest honored of all animate; Chrhit rode Into Jeru salem on one of th naternnl ances tors of the mule. If God were acaln to use the mule for the purpose of nsklnc questions and would endow him with power of speech I feel sure one of the first attest Ions he would ask would be: Why hp.vp we not on earth to-dnv "Peace end Good Will Toward all iM""": he vnnld nb'o nskr "Whv l II to-dnv In our ed'irntlonal tntltnt'nns of till" crept ntliii hiv ied to ton to o'ii- hor nd 'rl the coi'irioiTtnt M of lif In 'II of l' hrrneho InoltieMn" hi' titers sMe of product Inn: vr Is I' that v.-p hav (hope ienrnml',nl con ditions In t'-e hr-iultln? of o"r prod ucts; T'hv I- It tbM tea r.'-n-'tio-r fnt1 to roop'vo r unlit flint r-nt en able him H li'inrnv r'nil rendition o as to risk them attractive and riVpv to It"" r"-p ootinn pnd to I greatest of tH rnfenn (triotil tero s tronion'toes nr" In cr npniilM'otl." tf" vnnM al HnnM 1e nk" Vh have w n" n tin- rt rtl p' oo'n'-'oroo n l"f"l nat'nn with ns'lnn. thl m Intended hv God when hm orono1 on -oolop to nro1"o pre eron nwt oortnln ei'n t1 and another sot'on o pmd""- anolr e-An nt (of'i mlno'- v leont't CHn'nt- peV of rpH-l" people wh H l the rr lot hnv: and be would ask, why la it that two thousand years after the birth of Christ, the man of Gallilee, the great est of all teachers, left this world, we continue to have wars; continue to have conditions that should have been blotted out by good men, united to change conditions from what they are to what they should be. He would ask of the idler, why is it that you do not work, the mule would say: "We have now arrived at a period when we have decided that Idleness is not ouly a disgrace, but a crime, and a very dangerous form of im morality." He would ask: "Do you realize that God is a worker? That he has thickly strewn infinity with grandeur. God is love; He yet shall wipe away Creation's teats, end all the world's shall sum mer in His smile. Why work you not? The veriest mote that sports its one-day life within the sunny beam has its stern duties." He would ask: "Do you realize that you pass this way but once, your allotted time is three score years and ten; that this is but the kindergarten of your ex istence, and Hint life goes on. until death accomplishes the catastrophe In silence, takes the worn frame within his hands, and. as if it were a dried ; up scroll, crumbles it in his grasp to ashes. The monuments of kingdoms, too, shall disappear. Still the globe shall move; still the stars shall burn; still the sun shall paint its colors on the day, and its colors in the year. What, then, is the individual, or what even is the race in the sublime re curring of Time? Years, centuries, cycles are nothing to thee. The sun that measures out the ages of our planet Is not a second-hand on the great dial of the universe." I will be ddighted to have you come and visit me. The saying of the Bible that God has made no two things alike holds good In the mule kingdom. Of the four hundred mules I own there are no two alike. Can't you also attend the confer ence of the American Cotton Associa tion called for Montgomery. Alabama, March !tth-12i'i and bring some of our Missouri friends? This great gathering Is called for the purpose of bringing economic reforms in the han dling of cotton and other products which the mule helps to produce. Would be delighted to have you. As suring y.n of every good wish. Sincerely yours . J. S. Wanuamaker. Pres. Matthews. S. C. Feb.!7. 1!20.

Modern Methods Employed The "FLU" Is disappearing as i:ddcnly ns il came, but In Its wake It has left the deadly effect of its toxins. The Iullnenia. or three days fever ns it Is sometimes called, doe.i not produce death In it self, but the complications do the deadly work. The toxins or poisons attack all the vial organs, principally the lungs, kidneys, heart and intestines; and unless Hie preper stp.i are taken to correct the irregulai'lies, the unfortunate outs may sooner or later fall victims to the following diseases: Pulmonary tuberculosis, Dright'8 disease, Cardiac disturbances, and the various forms of gastro-in-testinal disorders. It is a very good Idea to ask your physician for a good tonic, keep your eliminating organs in good order by taking a standard laxative occasionally, and drinking plenty of hot water; then rub your chest thoroughly with CREFT'S DUONCHO SALVE every night before going to bed. CKEFT'S BRONCHO SALVE is not a so called secret prepra t ion, but Is made up of the following well known remedies: Men thol, Camphor, Thymol, Oil of Gnullheria, Oil of Eucalyptus, Icthyol, Eupiuol and Petrolatum, in standard quantities, scientifically com pounded by a process of our own. liy rubbing the salve vigor ously on the skin, the body heat gradually liberates the active prin ciples, which when inhaled will act directly upon the delicate cells lining the bronchial tubes, bronchioles and air vesclcles, thereby stimulating them into normal activity, and at the same time destroy ing whatever germs that may have gained entrance (herein.
