MUNY COAL YARD
TO BE PROBED AT
MONDAYMEETING
Commissioner Ure Contends
Yard Is Not Necessary Un
der the Government's
Regulations.
The municipal coal situation is to
be thrashed out at a public meeting
in .the city council chamber Monday
evening at 8 o'clock. The coal deal
ers will be there and Commissioner
Butler looks for ajjig delegation to
ittend and defend the coal yard.
Commissioner Ure, who holds
that the muny coal yard is a super
fluous and useless institution at
present, points out that there is no
such thing in existence as a "mu
nicipal coal yard."
"They have no yard," lie says,
"but unload their cars- on the street
crossings. Moreover at the present
time, when the government is ap
pealing to all dealers in coal to store
great quantities during the summer
the city coal enterprise has done
nothing of the sort. They simply
sell coal as it is received, right from
the car.
"I know very well that it is not
the popular thing to oppose the
muny coal. The people may misin
terpret my views, but I am ready to
suffer if necessary because my whole
object is to get the people the most
for their money and to obey the
government coal regulations. The
price. of coal now is regulated by
the government which sees to it that
a ton of coal of a specified kind is
lold at a just .price no matter to
whom it iss old: If a person re
ceives coal which he doesn't con
sider up to specified standard or -full
weight, he simply appeals to the
coal administrator who will investi
gate the charge. The people are
fully protected and guaranteed full
money's worth no matter from
whom they buy coal."
"Adam and Eve on a Rati"
May' Be Served Once More
Here is more joy for the indi
: vidua! who enjoys good living, for
soached eggs on toast may be had
:or the asking, cither at home, or
it the hotels and public eating
louses.
' Under the provisions of former
rulings of the food administration,
- in the interest of food conserva
. tion, there was an elimination of
poached eggs on toast. Now the
food administration, owing to the
Increased supply of flour and wheat
products hold that it is the legal
ind proper thing to serve an order
f toast and eggs.

sugar allowance came through Food

restaurant committee, is being sent
broadcast through the state.
Formerly persons eating at hotels
and restaurants were allowed one
teaspoonful of sugar each for tea,
or coffee. From this date the al
lowance is one-half ounce andN is
equivalent to about two teaspoons
of sugar. Under the. new ruling a
portion of the sugar may be used
for sweetening tea, or coffee, or it
may be used on cereals, or fruit.

Santa Claus Is Victor
The National Council of Defense has
Decreed that Children shall have toys at
Christmas, but toy buying must be done early
THAT Santa Claus will live forever is just as sure as
that the war wjttbe won by the United States and
our Allies."
The Council of Defense recognizes Santa Claus'
business as an essential industry, but, like everybody else
in this great land, he must conform to certain rules and
restrictions that make his business a help toward winning
the war which he will surely do by keeping alive the
SPIRIT of CHRISTMAS.
Following out the spirit of the above, our
Toy Department
Will Open Monday
with a large stock and display of toys, games, dolls and mechanical toys.
Santa Claus has been busy and has seen to it that the little patriotic tot at
' homeehall have his own war and war games, for this year the war spirit in toys
with the toy soldiers, guns, cannons, fortresses, ships, tanks, hospitals" and other
war paraphernalia seems to be rampant., Many other things of educational
interest are shown. To do your share you should x
Buy Christmas Toys how v
And have them Delivered at Once
, There are many reasons why you should do so both patriotic and personal
reasons. One of the most important of the latter is the fact that assortments
- now are complete and afford broad and satisfactory selection, whereas
Most Lines Will Be Badly Broken by 'the Time Toy Buying Usually Begins.

fortunate to be able to offer such good looking, dependable garments as these for Monday, at such extremely low prices, quality 1
