Coa, FOR NortH SHORE. 
The Salem Chamber of Commerce 
is in receipt of a communication from 
the New England coal committee, of 
the committee on public safety, in re- 
sponse to an inquiry sent by the sec- 
retary of the chamber, requesting in- 
formation as to what arrangements 
had been made to make sure that the 
people of Salem and vicinity could 
get coal this coming winter. 
The communication conveys the in- 
formation that “The New England 
committee is working on plans to in- 
crease the amount of coal shipped to 
all New England both by way of rail 
and by the way of water routes. It 
is treating the matter in a general way 
and feels that if a larger supply of 
coal is brought into New England, all 
sections will benefit thereby. If after 
the proposed plans are in operation it 
is found that any section is not re- 
ceiving their share, this committee 
will be very pleased to take the mat- 
ter up with local authorities. 
are two plans on which the committee 
has been working, that it expects to 
put into operation, about July 1. 
First—the movement of special 50- 
car anthracite trains direct from the 
mines to the New England railroad 
centers. This plan should benefit any 
dealers in Salem or vicinity handling 
“all rail coal.” 
Second—the pooling of bituminous 
coal from the mines to leadnig tide- 
water ports such as Salem, Beverly, 
etc. It is expected that this plan 
would greatly increase the efficiency of 
New England’s coal fleet. In both of 
these cases the dealer will handle the 
coal in the usual way and will order 
his coal in the usual way and will 
order his coal through the agents of 
the various mines.” 
Further information will be re- 
ceived by the Salem Chamber of Com- 
merce from time to time and will be 
published in the BREEzE. 
OFrFiciA, War Book. 
Following the precedent of foreign 
governments, which at the opening of 
the war in 1914 issued official state- 
ments familiarly designated as_ the 
“White Book,” the “Blue Book,” etc., 
the U. S. Government, through the 
Committee on Public Information 1s 
to publish a pamphlet with cover 
printed in the national colors, entitled 
“How the War Came to America.” 
The design of the book is to furntsh 
an exact and comprehensive statement 
of why United States went into the 
war. ‘Translations into a large num- 
ber of foreign languages are to be 
made and such. copies. circulated

KEEPING THE Doc Wr1tTHIN BouNDs. 
Attemps to revive the sheep indus- 
try in New England in recent years 
have been met with the seemingly in- 
surmountable obstacle of the dog 
nuisance. Dog laws there have al- 
ways been, and the farmer has had 
the right to kill any dog caught worry- 
ing or killing sheep. The states have 
also assumed the responsibility for 
losses incurred by farmers from this 
menace. 
But there have been two difficulties 
that have made dog laws ineffective. 
In fhe first place it is not an easy mat- 
ter to discover what dog has done the 
damage. The sheep-killing dog us- 
ually works at night when the farmer 
has no means of protecting his flock, 
except with expensive dog fences. 
Further, when the damage is paid by 
the state, the amount recovered by the 
farmer seldom equals the actual loss 
sustained. The profit in raising such 
farm stock as sheep and hogs comes 
from carrying the animals through to 
maturity. If sheep are killed when 
young, therefore, the farmer is paid 
according to- the value at such time, 
and he loses the increment he would 
obtain were the lambs to be kept un- 
til they became more profitable to 
dispose of. 
Awakened by the absolute neces- 
sity of increasing the food supply of 
the nation, there has been a strong 
revival of the agitation in New Eng- 
land and other eastern states to enact 
more stringent dog laws and to en- 
force those already in existence. Both 
Connecticut and New York have 
amended their dog laws during the 
past two months. 
The revival of the sheep industry 
in New England is essential to the 
promotion and development of New 
England Agriculture and anything 
that prevents such a revival should: be 
corrected without delay. The dog 
nuisance is the principal retarding in- 
fluence at present, but it can be cor- 
rected by practical cooperation.
