workers, who can direct and coach
and inspire the permanent and tran

Reports of the activities of the War

population within the next few months
and to continue to grow. There will
always be certain percentage of

duty of the city to provide social
facilities for these people, while de-

permanent jewellers.

Piling Pelion on Ossa.

On top of the mountain of high
prices now borne by the long suffer
ing but no longer patient public, it
now is proposed to pile Pelion in
the form of some hundreds Of mil

in order that the giants of today-or-
ganized capital and organized labor
may scale the ramparts of the gods
and dwell at ease on Olympus. In
other words, descending from the Ian
guage of mythology to the vernacular

the soft coal strike is arrived at the
dear public is to be the goat.
A goat, now, is an omniverous beast,
and it always has been assumed that
its digestive capabilities were all EN-
bracing. But no goat of the past of
which clinical record is extant ever
was put to so sore test as the Ameri-
can goat is undergoing today. Even
giants might do well to look little
out for symptoms of Indigestion in a
goat so big and powerful as the one

A thing which he cannot understand
and which gets the goat of the goat is
why, when as the ultimate consumer
he is to be the ultimate victim, the
operators and miners should find such
apparent difficulty in reaching an
agreement upon the character and vol
ume of the next meal he is expected
to digest. There seems to be no diff
ference of opinion among those whose
opinions have effective weight, but
that whatever wage increase is grant

men, must come out of the public's
pocketbook. That being the case, and

why those who have immediate interest
and prospective profs do not pre-
scribe the dose, however trying it may
be to the public esophagus, and hurry
back to the production of coal at the
higher price.
In this particular case, because of
its necessity and its helplessness from
lack of knowledge and organization
the public will swallow whatever is
set before it and make the best it
can of assimilation, but it is grow
ing very, very tired of the diet it
has been compelled to subsist upon.
Its appetite, made brobdingnagian by
bulky and unpalatable roughage, is
beginning to crave something more
inourishing, and its mouth already is
watering as it contemplates the pos
sibility of swallowing the fat and
juicy giants who have been skimming
off the cream.

The Worlds Driving Pace.

ATTORNEY General Palmer has been
warned by his physician to "slow up"
1T is to he hoped he heeds the warn
ing. He is Il competent and eour-
ageous man in a post of great power
and responsibility, and filling IT with
credit to himself and benefit to the
country. He is Wry much in the
picture. indeed, at Il time Of unusual
gravity.
Mr.. Palmer is in no danger. but
only overworked. A little rest should
set him up again in normal form.
which is good When fit, he is the pie
ture of health, and capable of strenu-
GUS exertiOn. And such exertion has
been necessary and Forthcoming ever
since he took over the direction of the
Department of Justice. He has work
ed with will and INCREASINGLY He
has made so strong and direct a thrust
take his life; and they but narrowly
missed the mark.
The world is driving at furious
and exhausting pace these days. Pub
lie men everywhere are being put to
their physical trumps. Everything
has been upset, and needs to be reset
Unless physicians give. and enforce,
orders there is no rest for the weary.
The situation is taking heavy toll
of US. The President and Col. House
collapsed. under the strain. Both had
exhausted their reserve power, and
had to go to bed at time when they
were most interested in their work,
and their work most needed their per
sonal direction.
The death of Senator Martin is in
part ascribed to the very heavy tax
on his strength his duties had i'm
posed during the last few years. In
addition to being his partys leader in
industrious committeeman, and so con-
seientious in his public service he
never spared himself When the blow
fell, he realized for the first time
that he was no longer young, and had
pushed himself past the limit.
How much. longer the present pace
will continue is beyond prophecy. All
too long. though, we may all be GER
tain. There is an enormous amount
of work to be done to set matters in
the world right again. Each nation
has its peculiar troubles. We have
ours. They are numerous, and some
are of a new sort. None can be
evaded, and few can De postponed.
What faces us is of a character so
imperative we must buckle to it in
right good earnest, or suffer I'M
toward consequences.
But the men in the lead, upon whose
leadership so much depends, are not
as young as they used TO be, and in
their working togs cannot with safety
go the pace of youth. They should
move measuredly, and so by husband
ing their strength be able to go far.

Today in our study of History in
the Making" which we take up in con-
nection with past history, we found a
reference to Peter in connection with
the present Bolshevism in Russia. AT
first when it was mentioned it was
merely name to us and that was all,
but our teacher referred us to our gen.
eral histories where we found in ad-
vance to what we had yet studied
that he had been czar in Russia; that
he had been the means of moving the
capital fom Moscow, near the central
part of Russia, to st. Petersburg or
Pclrograd and that this act had
caused separation between the upper
class and the peasants. This is merely
one instance in which we find close
connection between the ancient and
modern history.
In this period of war and peace when
history is being made every day, we
believe that knowledge of present
day events as important if not more
so than than that of the past. Then
we have cultivated here at school a
liking for reading that is worth while
in our papers and magazines. The
knowledge so gained will enable us to
talk intelligently with those with whom
we come in contact.-Editor.

When l am at home | like to read
when l have spare time. At night l
most usually read the newspaper and
look at the comic page. At other times
/ read a book, that is if it is interest
ing. |, like most other boys, get very
interested in a wild west or cowboy
story. Sometimes I read book day.
When Sunday comes l read the
Youths story in the magazine section
of the Sunday paper. When I am
reading a book l would rather go in
and read some more just to see how
the story turns out than to play out
door sports. | do not read novels but
once in while love story. Some
boys get lots and lots of ideas from
books sometimes, such as / found out
once how to climb a CREASED pole and
how to do some tricks that are easy.
These got from reading some boy
scout books. / like to read magazines
that are put out for boys to read such
as the American Boy, The Boys Mag
azine, Lone Scouts, Boys Life and
many others. | want to read a book
of my own free will. To my notion a
