Duluth—Pressure must De brought to bear to settle the prolonged strike in coal mines if a serious coal short age in the Northwest is to be averted this fall and winter, the local fuel com' mitee appointed at the request of Julius H. Barnes, president.of the Uni ted States Chamber of Commerce, tele graphed President Harding after a meeting with the board of directors: of the Duluth Chamber of Commerce. Figures were presented to .show that docks at the head of the lakes had 500,000 tons of bituminous free coal ahd 200,000 tons of anthracite on hand as compared with 4,300,000 tons of bituminous and 400,000 tons of anthra cite at this same period last year. Little or no coal has been coming up the lakes this season and the sup plies on hand are being drained, reg ular shipments being made to lower lake ports, it was said. The fuel cdmmittee pointed out that even if the coal strike is settled during the summer the suply of railroad cars will be insuffiicent to meet the de mands from all parts of the North west. Plenty of lake tonnage will be available, it is believed, and if suf ficient railroad cars are found, enough coal can'be shipped up the lakes in 60 days to tide the Northwest over the winter. Governor Preus, alarmed by the prospects of a coal shortage in Min nesota next winter, met with state department heads in the Capitol to ar range a survely of the wood supply in the state, to determine the feasibil ity of cutting thousands of cords of wood to meet the threatened emer gency. The Governor declared^ that the strike situation has created an unpar* alleled shortage for this time of year at the head of the lakes. He said that a coal famine ymust be seriously conisdered. "I have no desire to frighten the people of Minneapolis or of the North west over this situation or any other," Governor Preus said, "but with all at tending circumstances, the situation thfe year is unparalleled, ancr certain* ly demands immediate attention.

Scott, legal adviser for the road, and asked that the strikers be restrained from pickething, inti midating workers and destroying prop erty. 4 Attorney Scott informed Judge Car penter that the railway had issued an ultimatum to the striking employes warning them that unless they return ed to work they woUld lose their seniority rights.

It will not be the ordinary canning demonstration with the demonstrator doing the work and the talking, telling how to do it, but all will take part in actually canning honest-to-goodness vegetables' and fruits. Canning problems will be discussed and the program a thor oughly practical one. It is hoped some will be able to attend' more than one of the sessions and after ward act as leaders in communities which are not reached during the coming'series.

FARM MANAGEMENT MEETINGS Feeding and cropping plans for a larger production of home-grown feeds will be discussed at meetings to he held during the week of July 24th-29th. These meetings will co incide with the canning demonstra tions as to date and location. While the ladies1 are studying and discus sing the most efficient methods in food preservation, the men will study ways and means for growing more feed on the farm and so saving the heavy outlay for feeds bought out side the county. This is a subject well worth every farmer's considera tion. With the prestent high freight rates on rail and water, freight and handling charges present nearly fifty cents out of every dollar paid for feed. And this situation exists gen erally in northern Minnesota. A banker in pne locality made the statement that the farmers' cream checks' had gone to pay for feed and that he had loaned four thousand dollars additional for the same pur pose. Mr. S. B. Cleland,~in charge of ex tension service in the northeastern counties, will be present at all the meetings.

Additional Local News THE PASSING OF THE INDIANS Week before last one of the Ash wance girls died. She was one of the two sisters who have always1 been seen together and who during the life of the two were inseparable. They were beautiful girls of. fine character, though they lived a primi tive life. Now one has gone. To gether they were sufficient unto themselves, it would seem, for each bore a happy countenance. Years of such companionship without the di versions that come into most lives and then to have it terminated with one left to mourn is a sad plight. The natural beauty and grace of these girls whose lives have been spent for the greater part away back in the interior of a wopded wilder ness caused universal admiration for them and their poise surely evidenced real refinement. For this sorrowing siister life will be very hard. She has the sympathy of the people here about to which ours is" added. But another sister, older and married, has experienced perhaps a more severe ordeal except that a person is capa ble of only so much suffering and Jive. We refer to Mrs. David Carri boo. She recently lost her husband and now her only child, a daughter, is goije. For her also the News Herald' joins a generous public in extending its' sympathy.
