COAL SITUATION IS GRAVEST
CRISIS ENGLAND HAS FACED
London, July 19.-That graVest
crisis England has faced since war
can only be aVerted by government
taking over South Wales coal mines,
was growing conviction in official
circles tolay when cabinet met in spe-
cial session to discuss great coal
strike.
Government investigators believed
that miners would not object serious.
ly to temporary naturalization of
mines. They pointed out that this
would remove chief bone of cOnten.
tiOn-belief on the part of miners
that owners are piling up huge for
tunes by selling at war prices"
In some quarters it was suggested
today that the government force the
mine owners to grant the full de-
mands of the men, pending culture
negotiations while men return to
work. Several cabinet officials, how
ever, rejected this idea on ground
that ii indicated governmental weak
ness. Majority Of men stand firmly
behind leaders in negotiations with
government.
Coal situation is rapidly becoming
serious with South Wales mines re-
manning idle. Available supplies
diminishing rapidly. Railways and
industrial concerns already have TAX
en- steps to conserve their supplies
and dispatches from industrial cen
tiers today said production of war
munitions is gTavely jeOpardized.

SOME SURE SIGNS OF
A VERY COLD WINTER ,

| Everything points to a cold hard win
ter, according to one of Forrest coun-
tvs oldest students of climatic condi-
tons, who, in a letter to The News
today. points out why he thinks this.
Among his reasons are:
Whenever we have a cool summer
like we had last summer, and a wet
summer, it cools off the atmosphere,
it cools off the waters and makes a
, cold winter.
When muskrats build their borgs
high is another sign, and | have seen
trappers who have informed me that
they are building them very high now.
Whenever fur-bearing animals have

hogs are thick, when the bark on

are thick-all are severe-winter signs,

FEED OUT YOUR HOGS
SIX WEEKS EARLIER

In every lot of hogs on feed two or
three fatten quickly and actually eat
less than others. If all would fatten
like these, the entire drove would be
ready for the market six weeks earlier,
and to save six weeks feed is an item
that you fully understand.
The hog that fautens easily must be
in prime physical condition. The B. A
Thomas Hog Powder is conditioner
for hogs. 1t keeps their system clean
and healthy and enables them to fat
ten quickly without falling prey to
the usual diseases of hogs. The B. A.
Thomas is not stock food. It's straight
medicine, and we took the agency be-
cause it enables you to feed out your
hogs much earlier-Denham G Co..

Just closed its annual meeting in Roa-

While the statement was made that
the psychological era is Mt hand TO
smlte the Democrats, the issuing of
formal declaration in the shape of 4
"hat-form," it was stated would not
occur before the early fall. A forecast
OF this declaration of principles which
Is to startle the State and country.
and be the cause of the undoing of thu
Democratic administration, is an easy
JOB. The party cannot now "point with
PRIDE" to the wonderful Achievements,
oil our distinguished President" but.
II Is clear to be seen that the forth
coming document will have a funereal
tone,-a "Hark from the tomb" cry.
1t will point with "sorrow and deep
regret" and lamentation to several
things brought upon the country Nv
the Democrats. Among these dire
Affections will be the condition of
trade in South America, which is said
to be very poor at this time. This
will be charged up to Mr.. Wilson. The
prevalence of the o;-and-mouth dis
ease in this country will be another
charge. The big strikes in the coal
fields, the large number of the I'M
employed, the Infamous" currency
and tariff bills and the attempt to pass
the ship purchase bill ct cetera. The
chief plank, however, will be the Mex
lean and European wars. The Demo
cratic administration will be held re
sponsible for whatever of baneful ef-
fects this war brought about in this
country from first to last, and bemoan
with hypocritical whine a situation Of
which the trainers and the party are
profoundly grateful, in that it fur
mshes plea and bid and Il faint
hope for seat at the p,e-counter. The
issuing of this document, which is to
revolutionize the world, will be !ool ed
