Harry "A. Garfield was last week
appointed Fuel Controller by the
President and the announcement
followed that In fixing the price Of
hard coal that it should not exceed
SIS per ton for the highest and $4
for the lowest grade. Persons here
who have already laid soft coal in
for the approaching winter had to
pay the extortionate price Of $5.25
per ton to put that fuel in the bin.
Thirty cents a ton is the maximum
profit allowed the dealers and job
bers in bituminous coal are not al
lowed a profit to exceed is cents
on the ton Of 1000 pounds. It is
the hurried and frightened buyer
who helps most to hold up prices

Dear Aunt Molly: Which way do
the stars go when the eartch turns
around ?-Florine Mitchell, Finley
school.
Dear Florine: Instead of the
stars being fixed in blue case and
travelling around to the other side
the stars go when the earth turns
around, as many boys and girls
suppose, they are above US all the
time as much in the day as in the
night, so that they just stand still
when the earth turns around, and
the only reason we cannot see them
is because the sun is SO bright it
blinds us to the faint light of the
stars in the daytime. But when
there is total eclipse Of the sun
so that it's light is shut off for
while in the daytime, men have
found out some very interesting
things. Once they found that sew
eral strange comets were circling
about the sun, which they never
could have seen otherwise. Ed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The
need for something to fill in the sol
diers' time after their days routine
has been met by a national move
ment Just started in Washington to
provide libraries for every canton
ment and soldiers camp in the
United States and perhaps even for
the American troops in France.
The idea originated with the Com
mission on Training Camp Activi-
ties, appointed by President Will
son. His Commission has found
that even with the rigorous pace
which the men in training are put
through, they have some time
which hangs heavily on theirhands.
To meet this condition, Raymond
B. Fosdick, chairman OF the COM
mission on training camp activities,
suggested that central libraries be
established for the soldiers camps
and cantonments.
The Secretary of War. whose
advice was asked, responded by
appointing ten nationally known
men and women to constitute a
Library War Council to assist in
providing soldiers with Libraries.

Dear Florine: That is question
that has been bothering lots of peo-

think that piece of the sun broke
off and began whirling around in
space. Others think that a mass
of loose material floating around
through space gradually collected
other material with it through the
force of gravity, then became more
compressed until 1t took shape,
was drawn into the soler system
around the sun, and now is estab-
lished in the universe. Ed.
Dear Aunt Molly: Who makes
gold?-Thelma Benjamin, Finley

Dear Thelma: A great many
people called Alchemists tried to

they have found that gold is one of
the few things nobody can make.
And we could not even find it in
the ground if it had not been for
one unnoticed little thing which no
one thinks acknowledgement wa
ter. Because the tiny little par
ticles Of gold are scattered through
the dirt everywhere, probably as
much in Indiana as anywhere in the
world But men only can find 1t
when the currents of water moving
under the ground by some means
sift out the gold dust and deposit
it all in one place, SO that men can
find the nuggets, Ed.
