CWe will write you a positive guarantee that PANTHER coal has every single 

 desirable feature of the best Pocahontas, except that it makes a little more smoke. 



Last year (first year produced) we got seven Florists that were using 

 Pocahontas to try Panther. Six of them are still using Panther. Freight 

 rate to Western points is 15c and 20c lower than Pocahontas. Mine run 

 carries about 65 to 70% lump. It's cheaper than Pocahontas. Get our 

 prices. Write for Parcel Post sample. We owa Pocahtatas miies ilsd.

«quare feet, to heat both houses. This 

 will require a grate with an area of 

 four square feet. For piping, run a 

 2%-inch flow pipe upon each wall plate 

 and another under the ridge. As re- 

 turns, use four 2-inch pipes on each wall 

 and four under the benches. In the 

 propagating house run a 2%-inch main 

 on the plate and four returns under the 

 bench. 



THE FUEL MARKET. 



Decided and growing uneasiness as 

 10 the future supply of coal has been 

 the main characteristic of the coal trade 

 lor the week," says one of the authori- 

 ses in that business. "This is particu- 

 ■arly true in all of the section east of 

 ;ne Indiana-Ohio line. West of that 

 ■'"e, the people are still indifferent to

 Peciahzed uses. The uneasiness ex-

 fear arises from a belief in a car short- 

 age, a belief in strikes and a belief in 

 a demand for these coals in excess of 

 present productive capacity. 



"The facts are these: Smokeless coal 



is in broad demand. Its entrance into 

 the export market naturally has short- 

 ened the supply at home. Those who 

 have it for sale advanced the price in 

 the spring. The buyers of it first tried 

 to beat down the price and, finding that
