Should this cool wave continue for
any considerable time the rivers will
soon cease to be the popular resorts
for the hot and tired inhabitant OF
the city. This is Indicative Of the
popular conception Of those who only
occasionally go ear the water and
fondly imagine that the river is cold
In the fall. This, however. Is a mis-
taken impression and the temperature
of the water during September and
October Is usually several degrees
warmer than 1t is during July and
August.
The fall months are really ideal
months to swim in fresh water as the
rivers are usually clear and much
cleaner than earlier In the season. The
cool bracing air that prevails early in
the mornings and late in the evening
makes the water seem much warmer
by contrast and the danger Of cramp
and other water troubles is consid.
erably .~lessened.

new one proved successful In a test

The method OF putting out the fire In.
wolves the use Of two chemicals which
are pumped in at the top Of the tank,
when they mix the chemical reaction
causes foam to form over the sur.
face OF the burning oil and smothers

Evening Chat

A new device is now to be used
by the Eureka Pipe Line company on
their lines and tanks to prevent the
costly fires that frequently occur.
The recent fire at the large station
at Morgantown which is the second
fire at that place within a few years
was probably responsible for the in.
stallation of the new fire prevention
arrangement.
The new method Of prevention of
the tank fires is to cover the surface
of the burning oil with a foaming
liquid from which ebulates an unburn-
able gas. This foaming liquid Is form
ed by the mixing of two separate solu.
lions that react chemically. This
shuts off the air fran the blaze and
stops the fire.

DONACHEl MADE
 GOOD AS GOVERNOR

Former Governor George w. Dona- ghey has announced that he will be an aspirant for senatorial honors in the 1918 race. He will opose Sen ator Joe T. Robinson for re-nomina tion MT. Donaghey is one of the strongest factors in Arkansas politics. He is a man who made good as gov ernor, and as his administration goes down in history it looms up as one of the strongest ever given the state. Senator Robinson has much to explain to the people before he can again claim their full confidence Mr. Don aghey states his case briefly: "I be- lieve l am in a position to do Arkansas more good from a business standpoint than Senator Robinson. I have an ambition to do the state a service, and if cannot do the state more good in two years than Senator Robinson has in all his official life, I will quit then and come back home. ."-Morril- ton Headlight.

NEW HAIRCUT POPULAR.

There is style in everything-some- times a somewhat disreputable style, but style nevertheless. There has been less of style in the attire of men than in that of the aspirants for equal suffrage, but still they are somewhat sticklers for style. This season the most remarkable tendency to style has been observed in the way the men have had their hair cut. It is cut high on the back of the head, being clipped close to the scalp as high as the top of the ears. Barbers them selves do not appear to know where the style originated, but that it is popular may be proven by watching closely the heads of stylish young men in our cities"

VAST PROFITS IN COAL.

Philadelphia Wilson'S re-
cent statement before convention OF
organized farmers in Washington that
middlemen are responsible for high
prices was recalled at public hearing
in this city which revealed high profits
in the coal business. Officials of the G..
B. Markle Coal Company, of Jeddo, told
of 40 and so per cent dividends on small
capital. Secretary Hinden-
mach, of the company, acknowledged that
on a capitalization of $1,OOO,OOO the
Markle concern was enabled to pay dur
ing the years 1913 to 1916 respective
dividends of 80, so, 40 and 40 per cent
He said the output was sold through the
Lehigh Valley Coal Sales Company, the
price being fixed by John Markle, pres
ident of the company, who lives in New
York and who, the witness admitted, is
seldom in Pennsylvania. The coal was
sold on commission basis through the
Lehigh Coal Sales Company under 30
years contract, which has four more
years to run. Profits varying from 10
to 25 per cent was the rule of this COM
Dany.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
Is Inevitable Unless Regulation is
Improved, ThOm Declares.

Washington, d. C.-Representativ
I. w. Sims, OF Tennessee, suggested,
during the examination OF Alfred p
Thom before the Newlands Joint Rail
road Inquiry Committee, that in order
to restore railroad credit to point
which to attract the investing public
1t may be necessary for the Government
to guarantee a minimum dividend on
stock, to give its moral sanction to bond
issues 'or in some way to get back OF
the railroads.
Mr.. Sims questions and suggestions
drew from Mr.. Thorn, who represents
the Railway Executives Advisory Com
mittee, the statement that unless the
present system OF railroad regulation
and the present tatus of railroads can
be materially improved, Government
ownership OF the railroads is ''inevita-
BILE"
Mr.. Thorn believed an increase in the
Interstate Commerce Commission from
seven to nine members would not be
sufficient to accomplish the end de-
sired, and reiterated his suggestion
regional sections be created under the
commission, with original jurisdiction
in rate matters. Representative Adam
son thought the public would feel the
railroads were endeavoring to get con-
troll further centralized in Washington

Last Step Taken In Appeal
OF the Government From the Eight Hour Placed
On High Court Docket Contest Will Up Before
Der 22, 1t Is Believed Although Many Important Hearings
Already Haze Been Advanced.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 2s.-The
case OF the Missouri, Oklahoma & Gull
Railroad, selected to test the constitl-
tionaity of the Adamson law, was
placed today on the Supreme Court
docket the last step in perfection by

eral Judge Hooks decision holding the

partment OF Justice advised the Court
Clerks Office that next Monday mo-
ton would be presented to set date
for early argument.
Solicitor General Davis asked the
Clerk to have the record printed at
once.
Outside OF the record before the STU
preme Court and not so far made part
of the official transcript is the stipu-
lation agreed upon by Attorney General
Gregory and railroad counsel to abide

HOW MILLIONAIRES ARE MADE.

Washington.--Justice Van Orsdel Of
the District Of Columbia Court of APP
peals has ruled that the federal depart
ment of interior has authority to ap-
praise the value of governments -owend
coal lands in Montana and other States
and is not bound to sell at the minimum
price of from so to $40 per acre fixed
by statute.
Secretary Lane of the department of
interior had fixed a value of $40 an acre
on these lands and suit was started to
compel him to ACCEPT the minimum price
fixed by congress for certain coal lands
in Montana
The courts decision, it is stated,
means saving to the United States
Government of $4G7 ,000,00 1t also in
dicates the ease with which millionaires
are made and by methods unknown to

Commodity pirates at Work.

Philadelphia Ledger: In many
cases the war is not the reason for
rising food prices. 1t is only an ex-
cuse. Rapacious food spectators
are to a large degree responsible for
the outrageous charges, and they
simply mention the war to conceal
their own motives. New Jersey farm
ers put much of the blame for high
prices upon the middleman, and they
are organizing to eliminate that in
dividual as far as possible. In New
York they have indicted food specu-
lators for gouging the public. In
Philadelphia there are many anthem
tic instances of where an increase of
only 5 per cent In the wholesale
price of food product was Instantly
followed by a Is per cent. increase in
the retail price. 1t seems to be a
game of everybody charge all he can
get, with the result that consumers
are being bled 1t every vein.
The American public is a docile
population. 1t tolerates from 10000
little and big dealers extra taxes on
commodities that no foreign country
in time of peace would endure. I'M
fortunately for our people, the in
comes of a very large portion have
not increased since the war began,
so that they are being actually i'm
poverished by the rapacity of specu-
lators in all fields OF industry. 1t is
about time that the buyers themselves
band together and refuse to submit
further to wholly unnecessary ad-
vances in commodity prices.

SHOPPING EARLY.

With Christmas only three weeks away.
those who were caught in the last minute rush
of holiday shoppers last year and resolved 10
do their gift buying early this season will have
to get busy now if they would succeed IN put
ting that resolution into effect.
The advantages of early shopping are TOO
obvious to be dwelt upon. They are known 10
everyone. Of course the chief argument IN IA
vor of early shopping is humanitarian one.
There is always rush Of buyers during the
two or three days preceding Christmas AS
result the season far from being joyous one
for the salesfolk is most narrowing one. Tired
out by long hours of strenuous work Christ
mas is often painful memory for the people
behind the counters. It is well THEREFORE to bear
in mind that real service In humanitarian
way may be rendered in addition to doing bet
ter for self by shopping as early as possible
