UNEXPRESSED DEVOTION.
Were I master of each tongue
Spokane throughout all time,
I could not tell what exquisite bliss
It is to be all thine!
I know my eyes can smile on thee
Tn hours of heavenly bliss;
My form was made to weight thine
arms,
My lips to feel thy kiss!
I love you, dear, with all my heart.
My soul and body, too!
I love the very air you breathe—
Dear heart, if you but knew!
—Annabelle Dennison MacConnell.

PRICES OE COAL
RAVE ROW BEEN
REGULATED
Government control of the coal in
dustry was made almost complete
when President Wilson named Dr. H.
Garfield, president of William's Col
lege, fuel administrator, fixed anthra
cite prices for producers and jobbers
and set a limit on profits to be made
by bituminous wholesalers.
The next and final step will be to
make regulations for coal distribu
tion and to fix anthracite and bltumi
nous retail prices. This will be done
when a distribution program is par
tested and when the federal trade com
mission has completed a plan under
which retail profits may be fixed.
The anthracite scale for railroad
owned mines which include practical
ly all the big producers, follows:
White ash, broken. $4.56.
Egg. $4 45.
Stove. $1.70. *
Chestnut. $4.80,
I’ea, $4.00.
lied ash, broken. $4.75.
Egg. $4.66.
Stove, $4.90.
Pea, $4.10.
i-ykens valley, broken, $5.00.
Egg. $4.90.
Stove, $4.90.
Chestnut. $5.30.
Pea. $4.35.
inner producers may charge an ad
vanro of 75 cents a ton of 2,240 pounds
over the figure set for the railroad
owned mines. Those who Incur the
expense of rescreening at Atlantic or
lake ports may add an advance of 5
cents a ton.
Bituminous profits for jobbers are
fixed at 15 cents a ton of 2,000 pounds,
and tiie sartie restrictions that govern
dealings by a number of anthracite
jobbers apply to bituminous transac
tions.
The president’s order forbids rail
road owned mines from selling to
other mines, and prohibits dealers
from selling coal produced by rail
road owner mines on a basis of prices
fixed for other mines.
The bituminous jobbers’ prices be
come effective immediately, as bitumi
nous mine prices announced last
night.
Dr. Garfield announced that he
would institute a licensing system for
all coal dealings from the mine to the
retailor, and that if prices were fixed
for retailors the licensing would be
extended to covor retail dealings.
