Conservation of Natural Resources"
and the New Nationalism' issues still
have reached far advanced stages of
settled policy in Germany. as is shown
by the decision of the Prussian minis
ter of commerce to turn over to the
Rheinisch-Wes coal syndicate,
the great German fuel trust" the sale
of all coal produced by the government
mines in Westphalia This is a devel
Opment scarcely conceivable under
American conceptions of these poll
cies, but quite in harmony with Ger
man ideas of the proper relation of
the government to great combinations.
Under its settled policy of public
utilization of natural resources, the
Prussian state has now become the
largest individual owner of coal lands
in the country, its recent purchases
under the law of June 3, 1907, having
given it total of 1871 acres, almost
three times as much as the largest
private owner, the Gelsenkirchener
Mining company. This law of 1907,
which aimed 10 prevent the undevelOp-
ed fuel resources of the country falling
into the hands of some monopolistic
organization with power TO throttle in
/ dustry at any future time by controll-
/ ing the fuel supply, authorized the
state to reserve the mineral rights in
25O "maximal fields" of approximate
/ ~ 5431e acres, before the remaining
coal lands were thrown open to gen.
eral private ownership. The state has
row selected and acquired the full
area authorized by the law, some 1876.
600 acres, partly in the new coal fields
on the west bank of the lower Rhine
near Cleves and Geldern, partly east
OF the Rhine in the districts of Dussel
dorf and DoTtmund and partly in the
Silesian coal fields near the Russian
frontier. These coal deposits will
probably be held in reserve for tn,
present; their exact value cannot bt
determined until the mines are opened
but the government has been able t
take its pick of the most desirabl,
! prospects.

GRANT LIMITED
DIVORCES ONLY
CHANCELLOR WHITMAN ADOPTS A
COMMON SENSE PLAN.
MANY SUITS ARE FRIVOLOUS
Notwithstanding Statutory RestnetiOss
He viii Endeav0T to Reduce the
Judicial Airing Of Marital
Infsheity.

A new wrinkle in divorces has been
adopted BY Chancellor Sam Whitman,
Of the second ehaneery court district.
In the future marital severanees granted
By Chancellor Whitman viii have eondi-
tionL clauses, pUll-back, moral reserva-
tions, and all that sort Of thing, at
taehed thereto, and some of the eOndi-
tions he intends to impose viii be ex-
eeedingly OnerOus.
Several years of tenure on the chan
Gerry bench has convinced Chancellor
Whitman that the bonds OF matrimOny
are too lightly regarded, and that the
grounds set forth in bills for divorce
are exceedingly frivolous. Despite the
act that the Mississippi statutes are
rather shy on allowing latitude to chan
eellors in the granting of deerees, he Is
formulating a set of homemade rule;
that will hereafter be attached to sucf
divorce decrees as, in his opinion, may
be justifable on legal grounds, but doubt
full as common sense propositions.
By way of illustration, during the eur
tent term of ehancery court at Laure
several deerees have been granted by thu
chancellor in which one of the parties
thereto Immediately hiked out of th'
ohaneery chambers to the circuit clerk
office and procured license to marry SOM
other party. This, as Chancellor Whit
man views it, is unseemly haste, and II
the future parties who are granted di
vorces will be prohibited from marrying
within a specified period. Other restriC
tions are also being formulated, and il
the future a majority of the marital seV
erances granted in the second distrie
will have strings attached to which tn
chancellor may at any time give heft
pull.

stories told by departed comrades.
The men sit and listen almost in awe
to voices out Of the past. recountlng
fond memories and singing well
known ballads.
From this device the Chicago His
torical society has adopted a plan Of
making imperishable the speeches Of

ture generations. The same idea IL

Tho name Of the Borrowed Time
club came from the idea that three

time Of life and that men who have
lived beyond this mark are living OF
borrowed time.
In our club several are ninet,

BOY SCOUTS FIGHT FLAMES

low.
The two streams checked the flames
on the side adjoining the nearest barns
until the arrival Of the local depart
ment from the nearby village. Taylor
then gave up his place to a regular
fireman and calling together a few
volunteers to aid him, worked his way
into the blazing barn, where the bleat.
ing of the imprisoned and suffocating
sheep could be heard above the
crackle Of the flames. Creeping on
hands and knees, the courageous lad
seized sheep after sheep, dragged 1t to
tho door and passed 1t to tho line OF
men behind him SO close we're the
lames tnat the wool was singed from
the backs Of several of the rescued
sheep. Only six we're left to perish in
the FIRE when the heat forced Taylor
TO retreat.
1T was one Of the finest acts OF
heroism have ever witnessed" said
Superintendent Bovine. Those boy
scouts seemed to know Just what to
do and they did 1t. Their work un
doubtedly saved the county great
