§ The coal strike which went
g into effect Friday night caught a
3 lot of people in and around Mes-
3 ijuite unprepared, just as it did
3 people all over the country.
3 Some people here had pre*
j vious laid in their winter's sup-
3 ply, some partly enough to do
s them through the winter and
3 some have none at all.
s H. H. Bennett, local coal deal-
s er, has none on hand. He has
s bills of lading for. several cars
•g en transit, but unless the strike
3 is settled and pretty soon, at
3 that, the chances are that he
5 will never get this coal, as it is
s understood that the railroads
5 have sidetracked all cars of coal,
3 wherever they were when the
3 strike went into effect, with a
3 view to contisticating the coal
3 for their own use if the strike is
5 not settled. The railroads have
s the right to take the coal, prrJ-
s vicled of course, that they pay
5 for it. All railroads iri this sec-
EE tion of the country have a pret-
5 t v good supply on hand and
= should the strike be settled soon.
5^ the cars of coal will be taken ofl
3 tlie sidings and sent on to the
S person1- or corporations to whom
5 they were shipped, otherwise
3 will be taken over by the rail-
is roads for their own use. llow-
s ever, they will not use this coal
= until it appears that it is abso-
s lutely necessary. /
— Regardless of the strike or
S how long it may last, none in
s this community need suffer from
t: cold this winter, as wood can
£ be obtained and kerosine heat-
is ers will help out in mildly cold
E weather.

What Kind of Life
Insurance Have You?
Old line Life Insurance Offers
more for the money than any-
thing to be had in the Insurance
line.
Why have insurance that really
does not insure and yet is sub-
ject to assessments whenever
the "officials" decide that a raise
in rates is necessary?

"TTELP" is right! A smooth, mellow

up against a tough one. And Chesterfield
is that smoke.
An expert and exclusive blend is respon-
sible—finest, silkiest Turkish tobaccos from
Xanthi, Cavalla, Smyrna and Samsoun, and
the best varieties ot Domestic leaf—put
together by the manufacturer's private
formula that brings out every last bit of
flavor. No other process, no other blend,
can successfully imitate Chesterfield's
, smoothness and full-bodied flavor.

Of course the fact that this
cow is a registered HoUtein has
something to do with her heavy
yield, but there must be some-
thing in her having a long name.
The editor is going to ex-
periment along that line, any-
way. We have a Jersey cow

we are going to change her
