said it, buddy, the American Legion.
It sure is the good friend of every
ex-service man and the nation’s
brawny right arm in the fight for

On one of our narrow side streets
the dignified business man met one
of the boot legging fraternity n lit
tle the worse for indulgence in his
own product. In the narrow path
baliked high with soft snow tlr-v
“Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year.” said the dignified business
man with great democracy and wait

get out in the snow and let him pass.
“Worry Mushriss an’ Nappy Hoo

whose brain was not nearly so thick
as his tongue, “Hut whoosh gonna
shtep out in 'a shnow?"
A Welcome Itugle
One evening recently when a New
York park that occupies barely a
city block was swarming to its last
bench with jobless men. the home
going crowds were electrified by the
clear notes of a bugle blowing mess
call. • Hut the e -service men sitt
ing on the benches were more than
electrified—they were galvanized.
Instinctively they bore down upon
the bugler, while their jobless non
ex-service comrades wondered what
all the music was for. and fount!
members of George Da hlberger Port
of the Legion jingling money in
their pockets anti offering every
jobless buddy a meal. Mess-call
continued every evening until the
post's funds were exhausted The
money, nearly $1,000, represented
the nest egg which the post had set
aside as the nucleus of its clubhouse

COAL COMPANY TO CCT
THK PIIICK OF COAI,
AT FAIKItANKN
With a view to stimulating min
ing activities in the Fairbanks dis
trict. where the price of fuel. !>«•
reason of depleted foretss. has be
come almost prohibitive, the Hroad
Pass Coal Company, of which ft. W.
Calderhead is president, will under
take to put coal on the Fairbanks
market during the winter a a price
that will cut mining costs very ma
terially. according to th«- Nenana
News of recent date.
In a statement given to the Nows
Mr. Calderhead said .is soon as his
company could put teams on the N •
nnna river ice. at Lifenite. which
should he the latter part of Novem
ber. they would he prepared to sell
coal f. o. h. in the cars on the siding
at Lignite at $3.50 per ton, in car
load lots. The price at N’enana.
will be $4.50 per ton. in the cars, in
carload lots, and $0 per ton in Fair
banks and on the creeks, wherever
the $2.50 freight rate prevails.
The decision to put cheap coal on
the market was reached at a meet
ing of the directors of the company,
Mr. Calderhead. alter it had been
determined by them that such a
price would enable mining men to
operate their properties at ;t profit.
They have been assured that a large
quantity of coal will be disposed of
at Fairbanks and on the creeks at
that figure.
Mr. Calderhead reported that the
company’s mine on Lignite has been
considerably developed recently and
that a large amount of good coal
was available for delivery at the
railroad, as soon as river conditions
would permit. Mr. Calderhead stid
the quality of the coal is better than
any thus far shipped by the Broad
Pass Coal Company.
