URGES COAL BUNINE
. CLUBS FOR INDIANA
Professor F. T. Stockton
Says Move Would Bring
Prices Down.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, June 81
The people of the state should see
what they can do towardhelping them
selves in the present movement to re-
duce coal prices in Indiana, Professor
F. T. Stockton, of Indiana University
declared IN a statement made puonc
today. He said:
"Now that the public service COM
mission of the state Of Indiana has de-
clared there is no excuse at present
for the high prices of coal, it is time
for the people of the state to see II
they cannot do something on their own
accord to secure lower prices: Az tne
same time the commission should 40
everything in its power to force the
hand of the mine operators and local
dealers.
zone thing Indiana people might do
is to form coal.buying clubs to purchase
directly from the mines. OF course
this can be done only by a compare
lively large number Of persons acting
together, so that big order can be
placed. Large employers Of labor can
perform q service for their employees
BY ordering coal in carload lots for
distribution at cost. Perhaps, this
would be more feasible plan than the
first, because 1. is difficult to get
group of scattered consumers to act
together. The employer, however,
would be in a position where he would
have the facts concerning coal costs,
transportation, etc, and he could aid
his help without compelling the latter
to form an organization. Here in
Bloomington one company has provid'
ed a store to sell to employees at cost
The same plan could be extended to
the retailing OF coal at saving to all
concerned.
Except during an emergency, In
diana cities do not seem to possess the
constitutional authority to buy coal or
foodstuffs for resale to citizens. Per-
haps the courts might hold that the
present situation constitutes an emer-
gency. There is grave doubt about this,
however. For myself, believe it is no
more than fair that our cities should
possess the power to buy and sell ne
cessities when the private distribution
thereof leads to excessive prices and
serious pnblic inconvenience. Call
this Socialism If you wish

Upon the request of Mrs. Joseph

and also chairman of the Women's

lowing petition has been framed by
the Board of Management of the Fair

The petition follows:
"The women OF our land are nobly
responding to our presidents plea to
eliminate all waste in providing the

also making the supreme sacrifice in

row of giving their sons to their

therefore the right to demand that

LITTLE ELLEN AND bob"
FAITHFUL BULLDOG GUARDIAN.

Ellen's mother, Mrs. Mike Grimes,
whose husband is a miner, hastily
daubed the tears from her eyes at the
recollection of the two days and
nights of agonized waiting, and Of
the joyful news which was then
brought to her that the bloodhounds
had found her little girl still safe in
the care Of Bob.
For Ellen and Bob were resting at
the front of the Copper Rock when
the hounds and the leaders of the
searching party came upon them after
a continuous hunt of almost As hours.
The two were 10 miles from home
horizontally and mile and a half
vertically.
Bob's nose was full of porcupine
uuills, as evidence of at least one bat
tie fought to save the little mistress,
six years his junior. How often the
brindle bull kept between Ellen and
the edge of a precipice, how often he
guided her away from the treacher-
Gus prospect holes with which the
mountain sides are peppered, how Of
ten he saved her life, Bob alone
knows. and Bob won't tell.

had everything but the title to put her
in the royal caste.
Nine. Keschesinska, protege OF the
former car, was the richest and most
popular of all. Her jewels were SO
valuable, when she danced in London,
some time ago, private detectives
guarded them. Among them was
coronet of diamonds with sapphires
as large as pigeon eggs.
When the house 0f Romanoff fell,
Matailda Keschesinska fled. She left
her palace just in time, for next
morning mob broke into her home,
looting and burning. Nikolai Leninc,
radical socialist leader, made her
rooms his headquarters and social
list newspaper was prepared for the
press in her salon.
But despite her friendship with the
ex.czar, Nine. Keschesinska was ia.
vorite with the people. By order Of
the new governor, all her valuables
were restored. Lenine and his socialist
newspaper ordered out Of the palace
and proceedings have ben begun to call
the famous dancer back to Petrograd.
