WILLING TO PAY ANY PRICE
chinaman, Anxious 20 Use Weighing
Machine, Was Trying to Insert
Folded Bill In Slot.

AS he walked out upon the platform
of an interurban station he attracted
attention Immediately. He was rather
different from the ordinary Chinaman.
There we're the coiled pigtail, Tapping
trousers and long, loose jacket, but his
face was anything but Celestial. While
the usual Chinaman expresses only ha-
bitual stoicism, this man beamed good
humor and intelligent inquisitiyeness.
Unaware that he was the center OF
attraction, he walked up to a weighing
machine and gingerly Inspected IT.
That he understood its purpose was
evident, for he reached down into

pocket and hauled out nickel, which
he yainly attempted to insert In the
slot. This coin did not fit and he tried
again with quarter. Still no success.
Evidently this machine of the foreign
devils" required bigger sacrifice. A
half-dollar was Forthcoming, and just
as he was inserting folded bill, the
station agent rushed out and held his
arm.

Love of theWorld

Dean Of Moody Bible Institute.

IEAT-Love not the world. neither the
thlngs that are In the world. If any man
love the world, the love of the father is
not In him. For all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh and the lust of the
eyes and the prides'of life, is not of the
rather. but is of the world. And the world
passeth away, and the lust thereof; but
ne that doeth the will of God abideth for
ever.-I John 2:15-17

.0NLY TWO-TH|RDS .OF GOAL OPERATORS
 SHOW PROFIT IN 1917
Davidson Gives Figures to Disprove Charge That the Alabama Operators
 Are PrOfiteering

According to compilations made by
 local coal operators, only about two-
 thirds of the Alabama companies made a profit during the year 1917, and re-
 ports up to July l indicate that they
 will fare no better this year In speak
 ing of the matter yesterday James J.
 Davidson, secretary of the Alabama Coal
 Operators association. said:
 "The idea seems to prevail that Ala-
 bama coal operators made big fortunes
 last year and were guilty of profiteer-
 ing. This idea no doubt, is based on the
 report of the federal trades commission filed with the Senate committee few days ago. In 1917 only 51 of the com-
 panies operating in Alabama made a
 profit while 30 operated at loss
 Compilation of reports made so far
 this year indicate that Alabama coal op- orators are more likely to come out losers than winners this year. Of the coal producing corporations 679i were operated at a profit last year, while 69 6 of the corporations engaged in man ufa curing and mechanical. 6S.97 of the public utilities. 6S. 65 of those engaged in merchandising, and 9l78 of the banks and insurance companies showed profits. Tn Alabama 90 per cent of the coal producing companies were tied up to July 1, 1917, in contracts at low prices, and where there were no contracts the operators could not get cars. Then in March, 1917, a great many of the com panies renewed contracts up to July ], 1918, at low prices, especially to the rail- roads. As soon as the contracts began to expire and free coal came onto the market, the government inaugurated the policy of fixing prices, and prevented
 Alabama operators taking advantage Of l the high prices.

 The national service section of the

Eaton's section was one of the most important branches of the government service, and is backing hi,r ur in the work he and his organization are doirg.
 While the national service section was organized for the purpose of arousins the patriotism of shipyard employees, and thereby stimulating them to exert theil greatest efforts in the building of ships the serv1ces of it's staff of speaker, are at the command of other depart nents of the government in need of pa triotic propaganda.
