A STRAW SHOWING THE BILLIARDS.
DIRECTION

When carload of coal about 40 tons, consigned
to j. Pierpont Morgan, arrived at Locust Valley, H.
L. yesterday it was taken by Anton G. II. lodcnpy,
fuel administrator and will be diverted to those III
need of fuel If there is any Left it will be delivered
to Mr.. Morgan.
In our kindness of heart, we sometimes publish
an item the second time lest those whom it may do
the most good may have missed it on it's first publ
cation, and the foregoing is such an instance.
There are several very distinguished people for
whom this little Locust Valley item ought to be good
among them Mr.. Hohenzollern Mr.. Rockefeller, Mr.
Meatpacker, Mr.. Sugar King, and Mr.. Private Cinch
and all of his relatives Indeed the cute little Locust
Valley item is big with strong, stirring lesson that
won hurt anybody.
Doubtless none of the distinguished folk named
above ever heard of Locust Valley ever was intro
duced to Mr. Anton G. II. Hodenpyl. 1t is a very
small community of largely plain folks and Anton
G. II. Hodenpy never stirred up things SO you could
notice it. But it appears that many Locust Valley
folks had no coal while Mr.. Morgan, biggest Of all
financiers, had 40 tons and Mr. IIodenpyl, having
acquired little brief authority put into practical
operation his conception OF that fine old democratic
doctrine Gone for all; all for one; Jerusalem
what power of social and economic policy in those
words, eff there any left, it will be delivered to
Mr.. Morgan''! 1t will not be revolution but men-
ium, when get to applying this to Mr.. Hohenzol-
lern, Mr. Rockefeller and the other gents mentioned
above. Just think, Anton G. II Hodenpyl represents
the government Of the United States when he takes
Morgan coal and lets Morgan have COAL if there s
any left when the needy are supplied And you t
stop our hundred million people from thinking that,
if it's good thing in war, it must be worth trying
in peace
We honestly believe that the cinch holder, domes-
tic or foreign is going to be wfuly sick of this war;
yet, if not already.

WOMEN WELL OFF

Secretary Of Welfare Commission
Says Railroad Work Doesn't
Hurt Morals

The recruiting of women to take
the place Of men in certain North Da-
kota industries, and particularly in
the railway shops and telegraph Of
fees, has the hearty approval Of Miss
Aldythe Ward, secretary of the North
Dakota public welfare commission.
r"WOmen are being accepted on the
same plane with men, and are receiv-
ing the same wage" .said Miss Ward
today. "The railway companies have
been very fair. The work is not too
hard the hours are reasonable, and;
so far as the women's morals are con-
cerned, they are less in danger than
when engaged in chamber work in our
hotels or waiting table in some of our
cafes.

will have another tonight" was Her
mundes' reply, testified the witness.
After struggling with the intoxi-
Gated and lust-maddened Mexican for
hours, Mrs. Anderson, fearing to leave
her husband and babes alone with
Hermundes, finally got word to Hor'
ace Ward through Ralph Riley, time
keeper for the 500 at Baldwin. Upon
Wards arrival, the witness testified,
Hermundes drew a knife and lunged
at the hotel man, who drew an auto
matte and fired.
Nels Anderson, on the stand, tes-
titled that in his earlier days he had
done his share of drinking but that
he never had taken anything whose
effect was so deadening and SO immed'
late as the stuff Hermundes rendered
him, Ralph Riley testified as to his
part in the tragedy, the evidence OF
all the witnesses tending to prove that
Ward had fired in self-defense.
