her bit In the following:
A potato is sometimes round,
A potato lives in the ground.
II you plant a potato in a row
II will grow and grow and grow.
When the potatoes are big
You dig them up with a spade
And put them in a pan
To cook as quick as they can.

Then it's lots of fun

Better than things like meat.

Fuel Dictator Delays Industrial
Tie-Up for a Day.
Employees, UNIFORMED on Or
der, Went To Work Today.

Washington, Jan. 17-Without par
allel in the industrial history of the
country, the fuel administrator sud-
den move fell on the bulk of the ma
tion's industries without a moments
warning.
When details of the plan were first
made public late yesterday no notice
had been given manufacturers regard
ing the intended suspension. Then it
was planned to put the new order into
effect today.
Then, with only the newspapers to
advise the millions of workers of the
drastic action. Garfield feared thou
sands would go to work as usual this
morning without having learned of the
order. AS a result he amended his
original order to give "a hours more
leeway to industries for preparation.

State Defense Council Refuses
To Roll Them.
Resolution Urging State Mine
Operation Sidetracked.
CAREY ADVISED The ACTION
He Says Miners Are Law
Unto Themselves.
Kansas Output Reduced 900
Tons Day Since Dec. 2S.

Following the suggestion of Emer-
son Carey. state fuel administrator, the
state defense council today sidetracked
a resolution asking Governor Capper
and the federal fuel administration to
force the operation of Kansas mines
closed by strikes. A substitute motion
was adopted when Carey told the
council it shouldn't hurt the miners
feelings So the defense council
adopted a substitute motion by w. L.
(IronJaw) Brown, of Kingman, which
praised everyone for all that has been
done-and said nothing of the closed
mines.
The defense council led the parade
of war problems at a big meeting in
Memorial hall. Attendance was so
large the meeting was transferred from
the. governors office. Dean Jardine,
of the State Agricultural college, drove
home to the members the need of a
seed survey and the problems of labor
which confronted the farmers in SOW
ing and planting twenty-five million
acres of soil to crops this spring.
Home guard organizations were dis
cussed by Prof F. w. Blackmar, of the
State university, who told Kansans
every community would realize the
value of home guard units before the
end of the present year.
Output Cut 900 Tons a Day
Action by the defense council in re-
fusing to SO much as slap the miners
on the wrist for refusing to dig COAL
followed a speech by Administrator
Carey. Robert A. Gray of Weir, chair
man of the mineral committee of the
state council, told the members that
a production of 900 tons a day had
been stopped since December %, and
125 miners refused to enter a mine.
And it was all because workman was
transferred to a new task
-. Nine hundred tons of coal a day
would keep lot of Kansas families
warm said Gray. But the mine has
been closed. Some of the men have
gone to other mines and are paying
the dollar day penalty provided for

MINERS DENY BLAME
National Organization Against Pro-
posed Federal Investigation.

Indianapolis, Jan. 1.-THE United
Mine Workers convention today voted
down a resolution calling for federal
investigation of complaints that mine
workers had remained idle when
mines were in operation. The resolu-
ton was introduced by a local union
of Gebo, Wyo., before the present coal
situation came about. Those who op-
posed the investigation took the posi-
ton that the miners are not held re-
sponsible for the present coal Short
age.
Officers of the United Mine Workers
of America, now holding their biennial
convention here, today went on rec
ord in favor of Fuel Administrator
Garfield's latest coal order. Blame for
the coal shortage was placed on the
country's transportation system.
Since the transportation system of
the country has broken down COM
pletely in trying to handle the coal
situation, the drastic orders limiting
consumption of coal as issued by Gar
field, is the only proper step to take
to solve the problem said President
Frank J. Hayes
