SUSPECT EVASION OF
u. S. COAL PRICES

Newcastle, Pa.-What are
suspected to be methods of evad-
ing the coal price fixing regula-
tions of the United States gov
eminent are being practiced
here, it is charged. Consumers,
when offering their orders to
some of the big mining COM
panies, are told that the entire
output has been sold to brokers.
Inquiry at the brokers shows
that the coal can be bought at
a considerable advance over the
set figures. Coal prices continue
to advance here in spite of the
government regulations.

Lord Robert CeciPs declaration
against recognition of Lenine's regime
in Russia, the Journal de Geneva
says:
"Lenine never acknowledged that
Russia had any duties toward its allies
and they must realize that Lenine
rules in Petrograd. His proposal of
an arnistice with Germany is danger
Gus, because if he can find even one
Russian general to sign this mon
strous treason with him the agree
ment probably would result in the re-
lease of one million German prisoners
against the Allies"
The paper suggests that if Lenine is
to be bought the Allies should buy
him."

Swallowed Hen and the Eggs

S"oAAo"So hSA anu tuC GSSS
In the Pennsylvania Grit of
last week was an article telling
about a big snake Mr.. John H.
Price killed some years ago.
Mr.. Price, when asked about
the matter, says the story is true,
and that he is prepared to prove
it, if necessary. He says a SET
ting hen in his barn disappeared,
together with the eggs, and in
the nest was a mammoth black
chicken snake. The snake was
killed and cut open, and there,
he says, were the eggs and the
hen. The skin on the hen had
not been broken and the eggs
were whole. The eggs were
placed under another hen and
nine chickens were raised from
these eggs.
We expect John Beasley to
set up a howl about this story,
but if he'll come down we'll let
Mr.. Price convince him.

Lem would get a dog he would
soon find ii necessary to dis
pose of it. Once when there
had been no dogs there for
awhile a man told Lem he
would give him a hound if he
would come and get it. Then
his mother told him if he brought
that dog there he would get a
whipping. He knew that she
didn't make idle threats and
that to bring the dog meant a
good whipping for him. After
debating the matter over with
himself he decided the dog was
worth a whipping and that to
get the dog he would submit to
the punishment. Accordingly
he went off and brought in the
dog just before night, knowing
that the flogging was in store.
When his mother saw the dog
she realized that her son had
wilfully d1sobeyed again, and
the whipping she gave him was
by no means light one. The
boy thought it was rough and
he remained out side the house
snubbing, but all the while was
secretly rejoicing that he had
the dog tied safely nearby and

Mr.. Julius Evans was in the
office Saturday morning con.
sidering ways to dispose of his
surplus grass plants. He offered
them five thousand for five
cents, but none of us here cared
to purchase. We recommended
that he take a half page adver,
tisement and try in that way to
sell them. He was afraid TO try
this, however, as he said some
body else would probably try to
undersell him. He left without
having sold any. and looked as
if he was undecided whether to
dig the things up or wait and
let the frost kill them.
