MISSOURI GOVERNOR
PLANS ACTION TO RELIEVE
COAL SHORTAGE

Having failed receive reply
from Commissionr Garfild to his in
quiry as to what the Government pro-
posed to do to relieve the coal short
age, Governor Gardner of Missouri,
has deferred action on the plan Of
calling a conference Of the Cover
nors and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of the
coal-producing States to consider the
situation. The conference, if called
will probably meet in Chicago.
Referring to the coal situation
Governor said yesterday: eve have
to play ball with this thing. The sit
uation is such that we must have coal
in large enough quantities to supply
all needs, and we rnust have II soon."

FARMERS STRIKING FOR
MORE WAGES AND LESS WORK

We hardly expect to sec an organ
lied strike of farmers; but the nation
fails to realize that every year thou
sands of faremrs are striking-strik-
ing for higher wages, shorter work
ing hour and better living conditions.
They are doing it simply by quitting
the farm, with it's inadequate re-
muneration, and going to the great
industrial centers, where wages are
high, hours short, and living condi-
tios more satisfactory.
This movement has been going on
for years-a silent protest against
the lack of recognition accorded the
man on the land. For awhile it was
unnoticed, for at first prices were
little affected. But as time has gone
on and the movement has grown, pro-
duction of many crops has stood still
or actually decreased, the huge indus
trial centers have grown larger and
hungrier and prices have kept on rs-
ing.
Now crisis is approaching. City
people fatuously believe that it is pos
sible to pay the urban worker high
wages for short days work and at
the same time get cheap food and
clothing. 1t can't be done. The
farmer is either going to get prices
that will secure for him living con-
ditions as good as the industrial work
or of equal mental and physical ca.
pacity enjoys, or he will quietly quit
his job-strike-and go to town to
work.
Such a result is as certain as any.
thing can be; it is in obedience to ar
immutable economic law. We be-
lieve in an adequate wage for every
worker; but if the people of the cite:
get the idea that they can work shor
hours for high wages and enjoy cheaI
food and clothing, they simply hav,
another guess coming.-The Progress
sive Farmer.

WOMEN TO CLEAN UP"
FLORENCE DURING WINTER

Florence, S. c., Dec. 2-It is to be
house-cleaning time all winter long
in Florence. The women of the town
have rolled up their sleeves, tucked
up their skirts, and seized new brooms
and dust pans to sweep clean for bet
ter health, cleaner streets and homes,
civic development, and for keener in
terest in the problems of the future
citizens of Florence, the children.
The National League for Woman 8
Service has begun it's winters pro-
gram of work here. War work is
over for the women, and, therefore,
this is new program of service
through which the town and the peo-
pie will reap the benefits. To facili-
tate the carrying out of their plans,
the League has divided the town into
four wards with captain in charge
of each ward. Working under the
captain are lieutenants and various
committees who are handling all the
details in connection with each un-
dertaking.
Four separate committees in every
ward have been formed and that
the house-cleaners may search out all
the dark, dust accumulating corners
of Florence, the house-to house can
vass method, survival of the war, is
being used to produce results The
committees have been named the
Committees on Health, Committees
on Cleanliness which has to do with
campaign to keep premises, sreets,
parks and public places clean; Com
mittees on the Development of the
City; and the Committee on Children.
AT the head of all this work is Miss
Jane Evans, South Carolina Chair
man Of the League.
Perhaps the Committee on Health
has received the warmest welcome
from the many busy mothers Of
Florence. In each ward, this COM
mittee visits periodically all the
homes to give suggestions to
mothers in the care of their fami-
lies, to direct them to the proper
sources for medical treatment, to
bring physicians where they are need
ed, and to make the necessary follow
up visits. Best of all, however, men,
bers of the committee frequently
take over q home for an afternoon
while the tired mother rests.
The League, too, has joined hands
with Gov. Cooper in his fight against
illiteracy, appropriating funds to pay
the salaries of five night school teach
ers. This money was earned through
the Blue Bird Tea Room, begun by
the League during the war. The wo-
men are continuing this enterprise to
buy new brooms and to pay the bill
for house-cieaning Florence.

Church In Wilmington, N. G. And his
parish, in recent years., having been
shown by him the romance of tho
Church's work, has become one of the
largest per capita givers to missions.
The statistics that have been pre-
pared by survey of the needs of the
Episcopal Church in recent months,
and of the needs of the world which
it must meet, are to be warmed into
life for all the men and women In the
Church. The romance behind them
is to be told in meetings all over the
United States by 1000 teams of men
and women, in the next few weeks,
preparatory to the intensive drive OF
the Nationwide Campaign, in De.

COLLARS JUST MONEY
'.E1un,an, With Hearts and Souls" Says
Clergyman, "f You Haue the Nision'
Take A Peep Through
Loopholes of the Ci-
pliers and Bars of the
Dollar Sign.

And now comes the apostle OF
statistics that are human, the roman
tiGst of figures.
He has come out of North Caro-
Tina. He is neither statistician nor
romancer. He is an Episcopal clergy
man, the Rev. DIR. William II. Milton.
And he has undertaken to prove to
the million or more communicates OF
the Episcopal Church that $42, 600. 600
are not $4,000. .0O0-but thrilling
romance; its characters Chinese chill
dren, Eskimo maidens, gaunt noun
taineers little blind Mexicans, trans
planted peasants of Europe and daunt-
less soldiers of the Church In far places,
it's background brilliant Oriental land
scapes, dazzling white wastes of Arctic
SHOWS, billowing prairies and steep
mountain trails.
The s42. OOO. 600 is the fund to be
raised in a single sweeping drive as the
climax Of the Episcopal Nation Wide
Campaign. of which DR.. Milton is one
of the executives. It represents the
means by which the Church, reused,
through the campaign. to the urgency
of the worlds needs to-day. can do its
part to work in every field.
But" said the romanticist Of
figures the other day, there is no
inspiration In giving $42.OOO.OOO. So
long as we state the Church's duty In
terms of dollars, it is cold, dead thing.
We must humanize the figures. We
must look through the loopholes Of the
ciphers and the bars Of the dollar
mark.
Then we shall see, not SAP, ,0OO.-
600, but hospitals and surgeons where
there is none to heal suffering, schools
and teachers where there Is none to
teach little children, loyal American
citizens where there are restless foreign
born under destructive influences, COM
munity centers and churches where
there is none within many miles"
DIR. Milton knows how humanized
statistics can stir people. He has
applied the principle in St. James
