lady bug crop is said to be the biggest
on record, because of the unusually

$50 a month for hired help, in making
his income tax returns; but if he hires

Quincy Lawyer Held.

Theodore Pspe. leading Quincy
lawyer and and former city attor-
ney, was arrested Friday and placed
under $4,000 bond for violating
the espionage act. Pape was chare-
ed with refusing to buy Liberty
Loan Bonds, declaring he wanted
the war to end in a draw.
P6pe is charged with violating the
espionage act in telling Liberty Loan
solicitors that he would not pur-
chase a Liberty Bond" giving as his
reason that he would rather see
the war with Germany a draw; that
the United States sought to crush
Germany, an act he was opposed to;
that he wanted to see the United
States so weakened that it would be
compelled to make peace. and that
the only way to do this was for the
people to withhold their money
from the government"
Quincy was thoroughly aroused
over the affair and a well known
citizen declared that two barrels of
tar had been provided for a tar and
feather" party. 1t is not believed,
however, that there will be any
violence.

During the past II months there has

withhold their orders until later in the

Order Your Coal at Once.

Let every consumer of the classes
mentioned ascertain his fuel require
ments for the coming year. Do this at
once. Order sufficient coal to meet those
requirements. Place your orders at
once. If domestic consumers have not
sufficient storage space for the coal
they will need they should enlarge their
bins. If public utilities and industries
engaged upon government work have
not sufficient storage space they should
at once provide it,
The production Of coal in this coun-
try is fundamentally a transportation
problem. There are enough coal cars
and enough locomotives to transport
the necessary quantity of coal, only If
every car and every locomotive Is used
to its maximum capacity every day in
the year. There are enough operatives
in the mines to get the coal from the
ground if those operatives can work
every day in the year and If the coal
cars and locomotives are available ev-
cry day.
The fuel problem is to get the coal
from the first place Of deposit to the
final place Of deposit with as little de-
lay as possible and in as steady and
continuous a stream as circumstances
will permit. The railroads may be
compared to water pipe, which needs
to run full all the time to carry the
necessary amount of water to Its des-
tinaton. If that water is shut off for
any appreciate time 1t means an ulti-
mate shortage. The pipe can carry no
more than its maximum capacity per
day.
Borrow, II You Must.
Inconvenience of paying for coal in
the spring or summer when 1t will not
be needed until autumn or winter
should not influence any consumer to
delay placing his order and securing
his supply. 1t is far wiser to borrow
money in the spring to pay for ones
coal than to wait until autumn or
winter, when If the coal has not been
mined and shipped money cannot pro-
cure 1t.
The Fuel Administration, through
the State Fuel Administrators and To-
cal committees, is prepared In every
reasonable way to aid public utilities,
essential industries, retail dealers and
domestic consumers in placing their
orders and in securing assurance Of a
sufficient supply Of fuel. All these
governmental agencies, however, are
powerless II the consumers themselves
fail to act Again, therefore, the Fuel
Administration urges every consumer
to place his orders Immediately. This
should ordinarily be done through the
medium Of supply upon which the con-
sumner has relied in the past. If this
course is followed 1t may be hoped
that the suffering and loss of the past
winter will not be repeated. If 1t is
not done consumers will have them
selves to blame.

EDITH STOREY is FAMED
8 AS ATHLETE AND ACTRESS


Edith Storey, the star of Treasure
of the Sea- a Metro AllStar Series
picture, which will be presented at
the Opera House tonight, displays
her best abilities as an actress and
sportswoman in this production,
which is replete with thrills.
Strange as it may seem, this ath-
letic star was born in New York City
and not in the country, as one would
be led to suppose from her athletic
proves. Both her father, William
Chase Storey, and her mother, whose
maiden name was Thorpe, were born
in the Metropolis. 1t was while
studying in the public schools of New
York City, where she received her
education, that little Edith became
imbued with desire to act. Neither
of her parents ever had any acting
aspirations, but their daughter pos
sesses dramatic genius.
At the age of ten, Edith Storey
made her professional debut as an
extra with Eleanor Robson in eau
drey." So marked was her dramatic
ability, that she was Immediately en-
gagged for a child's part in "The Lit
tie Princess" and the next season
played one of the children in ''Mrs.
Wigs Of the Cabbage Patch" Miss
Storey remained with this attraction
for three seasons, and eventually, as
she grew older, played all the child
ren's parts. In "Rebecca of Sunny
brook Farm" her next engagement,
she played girl Of "sweet sixteen"
For over six years she has been
playing in motion pictures, during
which time she played for the Vita
graph Company, with the exception
Of one year, when she was loaned to
the Melies Company for a series of
Western pictures. Among her pro-
auctions are "The Christian" and
aladdin from Broadway" She
made her Metro debut in "The
Eyes of Mystery" and has also APP
peared under this banner in "The
Legion Of DEATH" Revenge" and
