PENT $42j000 THIS WINTERFOR EXTRA FUEL Dad Pendleton has forgotten his us- ual happy smile at intervals during - thia winter, specially since January, and nan indulged himself in a grouch. the burden -of which has been that he would like for Old Man Winter to show a little heart and let up on his offerings of frost, ice and snow. ' . - It hasn't been Indigestion that has caused Pendleton to feel this wey, either. A lack of sunshine has been a contributing factor, the unusualness of the winter has caused peevishness and then cold weather JuBt naturally costs money. To make it concrete. One of the leading dealers In coal and wood in the city estimates that the extra amount of fuel necessary to keep houses warm and to maintain Indus trJes during this past winter has cost about 143,000. All of the dealers agree in their statements that Pendleton hni had to use more than a normal supply of fuel, but they do not have the same ideas as to theextra amount used.
