TRIPLE BIRTHDAYS

The five sons and daughter of Mrs.
J. J. Bacon, together with their famil-
les, gathered at her home, Tuesday
evening, Feb. IL, 1919, to join in
celebrating her 61st birthday. 1t
was also the birthday of her two
daughters-in-law, Mesdames William
and Archie Bacon. The evening
was most pleasantly spent in visiting,
games and recitations. Sylvester
Stout, grandson of Mrs. Bacon, spoke
an original poem, written by his
mother for the occasion, which was
as follows:
"Here we are all hale and hearty,
to celebrate Grandma's, Aunt Sofas
and Aunt Mabels birthday party.
May many more years be your wealth,
Full of happiness, prosperity and the
best of health. Samuel, William,
Mabel and Erma, Mark, Maud,
Charles, Verna, Archie, Sofa, Nettie,
Will and Glenn, are trying to be as
happy as ever they can. The child
rem are having plenty of noise and
play, there is always fun at grand
mas birthday. We children looked
everywhere with happy eyes, for we
heard voice in the kitchen and we
smelled cakes and pies. And sure
enough, there were ice cream, cake
and candy, all in the latest style, and
the things it said on the cakes and
candies made every one of us smile.
And when for home we started,
each with happy, smiling grin, we
had all had such a good time, that
grandma knew we would come
again"

OUR COMING COAL SUPREMACY

That the United States will soon become the chief source of coal supply for other nations of the world is the belief expressed in the November issue o Commerce Monthly, the magazine of the National Bank of Commerce in New York.
 It is pointed shat this country, although It produces more than half of the worlds eoal has in ths past left the export trade domination in this cohmodity England, whose deposits are but small percentage of ours. England, however, with produc- ton dwndling as a result of the and her labor unrest seems inevitably bound to yield place to us
 More than half of the total coal resources of the world are located in the United States, Cotnne rce Monthly says During the past ten years prod uc- tion of coal United States has developed re- markably showing in 1918 an increase of S2 per cent, the average production during the five years 1909 to l93 The rapid increases ill pro- duction have taken place ill Illinois and West Nir- ginia The output of he former of these states for 1916 being a1.o00,oeit tons and of the latter 24'- o6O 900 tons the 1909 to 1913 average. Penn sylvaniA increased her bitunnous output 22,0Oo,oO0 tons compared with her average of 1909 to 1913 and anthracite production for 1918 was 11,O00,0o0 tons over the average for the same period.
 British production which in 1913 was 261,0o0,- 00O gross ons decreased to 223,o9o0oO tons in 1919 Sir Auckland Ge9e, president of the Board of Trade, states that for tilc twelve monthes beginning July IS, 1919, when the miners seven hour day came into effect the production of British coal will be approximately between 2fl 900 0OU 217 000,0o0 tons Even if the amount of coal retained for home consumption were kept down to 196,O0O,00O tons, the strictly rationed basis 1916, there would be available for export only about 2O0OOOO gross tons Not only is the ability of Great Britain actually to produce coal for export ship bunkers curtailed. but he price of coal is high there as to open the field to all competition. and especially to com petition from the United States.
 "Although the foremost coal producing nation, our exports of coal have never been large In the five pre-war years 1909 to 1913, our exports aver aged only 900 tons, the ereater part of which went to Canada. Whether in the immediate future we able to supply the coal which Great Britain cannot furnish will depend partly on our ability to increase bituminous coal production, that being the kind primarily needed both for export and for ship bunkers. It will also depend on obtaining adSquate tonnage Whatever iSthe outcome of the present situation 1t seems iqeytable, howeser, that in time the United States Will assume in the coal export trade and in the business Of nunkerng ships the position to which her coal resources entite her.

Foreigners Are Coming Back
(New York WOrld)

(New York World)
 Only few months ago the attention or the coul,- fry was invited to alarming spectacle Of sh1pioaas of alien laborers leaving the United States for ther native lands Thousands of Italians Greeks ana men of other races Southern Europe were seeking portation faster than it could be provided IF he J1tei States to be stripped or US uhsklleo labor and available cash and left helpless to race the ruinous competition of suddenly enriched Eur ope. So disturbed the situation was the Amer ican Bankers, Association that in published esti- mate 1t reported that 13OO,O0 aliens would shortly emgrate from the United States and take with them no less than ,00000O000.
 Since the signing of the armistfce there mas been marked quickening in emigration as was to De ex- pected The again safe and passenger yes sells were resuming service Many people of foreign origin had been out of touch for years with thelr families and friends, and industrial conditions TOT q time in the United States looked uncertain 30 they kept going abroad as fast as ships sailed and they are still going in undiminshing numbers.
 But already the tide has turned, and Of those who among the first to be tempted to emlgrate many are on the way back. Unless past experience is misleading, they will bring with them numerous newcomers. A short stay in Italy or elsewhere re- yeaed to them that the high cost of living there must soon consume the savings they had laid aside nd that unemployment added to the general distress and unrest It was not to the old conditions in thelI native land of which they had dreamed that they returned, but to Europe racked and exhausted by war and in course of painful recovery The message they bear will travel far and fast.
 Altogether, it seems improbable that the Un1ted States permanently lose much of it's labor so long it holds out, against Europe the promise of plenty of work and good wages

NEWSIES AGAINST
 l. W. w. AND GET | " OUT OF THE UNION
Ketchikan Young Americans Dis cover Falsity of Prophets and Declare For
 U. s. A.

The newsboys of Ketchikan who joined the Alaska Labor nion some months ago have seen the light. They have repudiated their I. w. w. in- structors, and withdrawn from the union.
 The carriers and sellers of Ketchi- kan were induced to form a union and. affiliate with the Ketchikan La bor union some time ago by B. R Sawyer, then the leader of that or ganization but now in jail, charged with desertion. For time they were very fond of their buttons and union cards. It is said they held regular meetings at which Sawyer instructed them in the beauties of soviet government, Bolshemism and l. w. W'ism. It all went fine for a time, and the boys were enthusiastic
 Then came the rioting in Ketchi. kan and the arrest of the rioters Then the Centralia massacre, and the organization of the Americans. By this time Young America at h0tCuIkdH UtSdu tO SIleli d IuOuoe They thought there must be some thing wrong with the Russian stuff It seemed to be out of step with Americanism, and Ketchikan youths were Americans. Of this they had no doubt at all.
 They Fire Sawyer
 The story comes from Ketchikan that the Newsboys' union decided upon direct action. They called a meeting, says the story and had leading citizens address it.. Straight Americanism was talked direct from the shoulder. The youngsters were angered. They felt that Sawyer had been deceiving them. So they ex- pelled him from honorary member. ship in their organization. They they unanimously voted to disband and to turn their cards into the Alaska Labor nion with which they had been affiliated. They did both, and Ketchi kan newsboys are free again and happier.
