There was an overproduction of
coal this year and a consequent
struggle for trade which depress
ed prices in opinion expressed
todajy by Edward W Parker
coal statistician for the United
States geological survey Mr
Parker added that there had beer
few more unsatisfactory years in
the history of the coal miming in
dustry and that prices were de
pressed to such an extent that
wheu the total returns for the
3ear were footed up the balance
probaibly will be on the wrong
side of the ledger although the
production of coal in the United
States fox the year proljably was
second only to the record veaa of

iday week was the entertainment
by the ladies of the Lend a Hand

families represented in this or
ganization The beautiful home
of Mr and Mrs E F Flitcraft

prevailed which could not have
been excelled had a generous

dren in the traditional manner
At one oclock the men were
ushered into the dining room
where three large tables were
fairly groaning under the bur
den of good things to eat the la
dies adding a service of willing
cleverness all their own After
doing full justice to a rare and
liberal menu the tables were
cleared and replenished and the
ladies were accorded a like ser
vice by the gentlemen
After dinner the men enjoyed
a smoker with Robert Buitos
as victims and a generosity that
make the atmosphere resemble a
summers thunder cloud
The climax of the afternoon
was reached in the games and so
cial joys of after dinner and es
pecially in the delightful music
rendered by Mrs Flitcraft and
daughters Fern and accom
panied by Mr Leon Clark
It was unanimous expression
of all the men present that the
ladies be requested to establish
this as a regular annual event
