Besides decorating the meeting hall, 

 the many exhibitors' booths were 

 adorned with plants. Eight carloads of 

 material were sent from Twenty-second 

 and Diamond streets to Atlantic City. 

 Fifteen men went down to the shore 

 several days in advance to do the work. 

 John P. Habermehl and Edwin N. Ha- 

 bermehl took personal charge of the ar- 

 rangement. The effect was extra fine. 



Topic of the Hour. 



May 17 an arrangement was reached 

 between the coal miners and operators 

 in the anthracite regions of Pennsyl- 

 vania. This arrangement gives the 

 miners an increase in wages and time 

 concession that amounts to a further 

 increase. It is binding on both parties 

 to the agreement for four years. This 

 increase of pay to the miners increases 

 the cost of coal to the consumers. In 

 addition to the higher price, the coal 

 will be more difficult to obtain than 

 usual. This is because the miners are 

 largely foreign born. Owing to the 

 European war they are receiving no 

 additions to their numbers from abroad; 

 on the contrary, some of them have 

 gone home to fight for their country, 

 on whichever side it may be. Another 

 reason for the probable difficulty in 

 getting coal next fall is the likelihood 

 of a car shortage. It has often been 

 talked of and sometimes felt. This fall 

 and winter it is more than likely to be 

 troublesome on hard coal. While the 

 summer price is higher than last year, 

 it will undoubtedly advance in the 

 fall, making purchase earlier than us- 

 ual a wise move for economy and for 

 protection. In addition to this, there 

 IS no question that coal purchased now 

 is better prepared in the steam sizes 

 than that purchased later in the season. 



Many of our most far-seeing florists 

 are already placing their orders for coal 

 for June and July delivery, believing 

 that it will save money and worry to 

 commence storing the winter's supply, 

 early though it be.

 that it was excellent and ) kely to con-

 lasts. People keep on fixing up their 

 gardens until it gets too hot to enjoy 

 life at home; then they think of the 

 seashore and the mountains and let the
