Yankee Tars Jar Paris

Six American college boys, serving as stokers,
sailors and gunners on the American flotilla in
European waters, spent furlough in Paris early
this week. When they tried to enter one of the
smartest restaurants the doorman, noticing
their common sailors uniforms, attempted to bar
them. During the argument, the manager ap-
peared and recognized among the American sail
ors several young men who had spent vacations
in Paris with their parents. The youths were
permitted to enter. They spent $120 for meal.
Not every set of American sailors can spend
money as freely as did this set of young men,
but the pay of the American fighter is so much
greater than that of the European to warrant
the assertion that some of the Continental cities
will open their eyes wide at the so-called prodi-
gality of our fighters before the war is ended
The American sailor and soldier have always been
the envy of other fighters because of their
good pay.
Few are the comforts and conveniences which
the boys will enjoy on the other side of the At
lantic. If they can derive pleasure and amuse-

Sammy Is To Have
His Bail And Bat
Despite Submarines

CHICAGO, July 1S--General Perish
ing's army in France is to have base
balls, bats, masks and gloves, despite
the activities of the German sub
marines which sent to the bottom of
the Atlantic ocean enough baseball
supplies to equip $50 when they sunk
the American steamship Kansan
The baseball paraphernalia carried
by the Kansan was sent through the
efforts of Clark Griffith, manager Of
the Washington American League
team, who several weeks ago started a
chain letter to collect twenty-five cents
from each of his friends to supply SOL
diers in the American army with base
ball outfits. When the receipts total
ed close to sS,000 Griffith purchased
the supplies and started them to
France on the Kansan.
Griffith, who was here Tuesday,
started another chain letter and asks
every one who contributed on the first
call to send in another quarter. When
the new subscription reaches a suffic-
lent sum he will star another consign-
nent across the Atlantic.
President Wilson was one of the
contributors to the first fund.

Farmers Work on Sunday

The Wayne county farmers who spent last
Sunday in the fields harvesting their crops will
nave no trouble squarng themselves with the
Great Judge. Work of necessity, forced by un-
toward weather conditions, or works of mercy to
alleviate human suffering are reasons which the
church always has accepted as justifying Sun
day labor.
Agriculturists have the great task of supply
ing foodstuffs for fighting world. The extra
hours they put in on Sunday when rain threatens
to ruin crops, may prevent starvation and hun
ger next winter. They may rest assured that the
community does not condemn for their work on
Sundays.

AS Seen in the Indiana Coal Field

The Sullivan Times is printed in the Indiana
coal field Naturally it is interested in the coal
industry. If it were swayed by prejudice it
might be tempted to shade its opinions favorably
to the coal operators. The summary it gives Of
the coal situation may therefore be accepted as
authoritative. Read these facts which it pre-
sents:
practically inexhaustible supply of coal in
the bituminous field raw product worth about
one-half cent per ton.
Enough in Sullivan county to supply Ind
Zone acre of coal, one mineable vein produces
$500 tons of coal.
Enough coal in Sullivan county to supply
United States for eight years.
Sullivan county is not first in Indiana. In
diana has wonderful coal resources, but is small
in comparison with other states.
"The cost of ton of coal in Sullivan county
is IS cents to $1.5O per ton. Local capacity easily
100000 tons per week. Actually producing about
$4,000 tons per week. Can easily produce 10000
tons with equipment, same organization.
Expensive equipment, large facilities in Sullivan
county being employed one-haf time, because
there is manufactured shortage of cars.
"Give the coal cars to the consumers and let
them buy coal where it can be bought the cheap
est.
"Let the efficient and resourceful coal men
get business on their merits coal men; don't
hold them down for the benefit of the inefficient
and designing.
"The control of the supply is at the bot
tom of the evil of excessive prices.
Make it profitable to mine coal instead Of
profitable to exploit the public through manpu-
lation. See that mines that keep their contracts
and sell coal at fair price, get all the cars that
they need and see that mines that break con-
tracts, join conspiracies and attempt to rob are
penalized by getting cars only when everybody
else has all they want.
'It is right to rob simply because the nation
is at war?
eff representatives of railroads can buy coal
advantageously for the railroads, why can not
public officials see that the public is served on
terms equally fair?"
Governor Goodrich has not yet won his fight
against the coal barons, but he has proved to the
state that he will not tolerate extortion and that
the coal operators must prove to the satisfaction
of the state that they are not bleeding the work
ers by charging them outrageous prices for the
coal they need to keep their small homes warm.
Coal and food barons must be brought to time.
The governor is to be congratulated for his firm
