PROPOSES THAT

ton to the End.

Secretary Of the Interior Ftsher has
recommended to Congress the passage Of
legislation that will enable cities to OBJ
tain and operate their own coal mines by
Gift Of the government. Cities in Colo
RADIO. Utah, Wyoming. Montana. Idaho.
and other States west Of the Missouri
River would be most vitality affected by
the proposed legislation.
Secretary Fisher believes that cities
situated in public-land States that con-
tain government coal lands desiring to
mine coal to supply municipal needs and
the needs Of their citizens should be
given limited areas Of government coal
land. provided only that the coal be
mined and disposed OF under proper
regulations Following this principle.
and as a tentative grant. Secretary
Fishers has recommended that Congress
enact a bill to grant to the city Of
Grand Junction. Cole, $40 acres Of land
under conditions imposed in the bill
The conditions call for the promp' and
continuous development OF the coal, the
prevention of any assignment or trans
fer Of the land, and the procuring of full
report and publicity as to the mining
and disposal Of coal mined under the
patent. including cost of construction.

"Convenience" and High Prices.

The New York commission investi-
eating the cost of living has discovered
what everybody knows-that the cost
of most food products is made unneces-
sarily high by the prevailing system of
retail distribution. The annual cost of
such distribution in New York City
alone is placed at SI5o.ooo.ooo, or about
40 per cent of the value of the supply
These figures are striking. If it were
possible to demonstrate the cost on
the meat and grocery bill of the aver
age family, the figures would be still
more impressive.
This system, If changed at all. can be
changed only by gradual process, which
already is in evidence in some communi-
ties. Legislation will not change peo-
pies habits. Even municipal experiment
tations of one sort or another in pub
lie markets will be of but limited value.
There are cash stores and others where
delivery cost is eliminated in every
community. Most of these make lower
prices, advertise freely, and offer food
bargains. They prosper, and yet the
corner grocery and butcher shop still
lives, completes, and gets a fair share
of trade.
Legislation will not create more op-
portunities for direct buying than ex-
ist in the majority of cities at the
present time.
The excess cost of food distribution.
it is thus made plain, is the cost of
convenience The buyer who wants his
market handy, who wants credit, who
dislikes to carry home his purchases,
and wants them delivered free of
charge, regards such conveniences as
his right. And though he realizes it
well, were he to be deprived of them
he would promptly declare that he
would rather pay the cost than have
the alternative of bother. We see il
every day, despite the high prices and
still higher prices, that where there is
one to consult his pocketbook and i'm
prove the opportunity to buy direct.
there are five or more who ignore At.
Capitalization in retail distribution
and partial elimination of the middle
man in distribution have accomplished
much for the improvement of the re-
tail trade, but they have not driven out
the small dealer, nor will they, nor will
legislative schemes, as long as he con-
tinues to serve what the public consider
their convenience.

Two Fair Georgians
! Keep House at Work
Judge Adamson Objects to Early Adjournment of
Night Session to Save Young Women

There are two pretty Georgia girls in
Washington this morning. who believe
their representative in Congress has said
the last word in chivalry and royal en-

ing and Miss Alice Shroftshire, and when
they return to their home in Hogans-
VILE they will be able to tell their friends
that a night session OF the House Of
Representatives was held for their en-
tertatnment.
It happened in this wise. The House
was scheduled TO hold a second night
session to consider the steel report last
night Representative Stanley of Ken
lucky. who headed the committee which
made the steel probe, and who wrote
the majority report, held the floor Thurs
day night with a vitriolic attack on the
trust. Last night Representative Gard

cipal minority report. was to speak in
support of his stand. Other orators were
to follow.

spectacle they came TO witness would
not be in accordance with my ideas of
right and wrong
While the Members were slowly re-
covering from their amazement at this
unique plea, Representative Gardner
walked to his seat with a formidable
roll of manuscript, and all bets were
of for the evening. The House was in
session forthwith, and the galleries re-
ceived their fill of oratory.
1t was not until some hours later
that the weary legislators learned that
Judge Adamson had two fair friends in

spare them disappointment that the

MICE
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author of cat Good Old Siwash.-

A mouse is a small, sleek, svelt, Hssom
animal about the size OF small Knot
hole. Knot holes and mice were made
for each other II 1t were not for the
mouse there would be no use for knot
hole in a house. But whenever there
is a mouse around a knot hole becomes
a grand entrance and lightning exit.
Mice are gray and are covered with
fur can move from hither elsewhere
quicker than George Mcbride when
he is catching a scrub runner on sec
ond. The mouse has a long bare tail
by which he can be caught by a brave
man after he has been chased over
$780, 900 worth of furniture. He also has
small round ears like clover leaves, two
beady black eyes. and long pointed
mouth adorned with whiskers and four
chisel-like teeth several sizes too large
for him.
The mouse's teeth are his greatest
fault. II he didn't have them he might
be tolerated in society. But although he
is clean and pretty and graceful he very
quickly gnaws himself out of popularity.
A mouse never hangs around house
waiting for a door to be opened. He
gnaws his way through 1t. After a
mouse has inhabited house for a few
months he has not only become a great
MISREPRESENTATION but has con-
structed a subway system which makes
that OF New York look childish. He
does all this work after midnight when
he will not be annoyed by questions and
onlookers. There are several things
louder than a mouse who Is devourtng
an oak door at a. m. A steam ham
mer Is one OF them.
When a mouse has gorged himself on
wood and varnish he tops of with
dessert of silk dresses. book bindings,
and bank notes. A mouse's idea OF
Paradise is to get into a stocking full
