Release From L. S.
Control Demanded
For Coal Industry
New President of National
Association Warns Public
to Buy Early; Cites 58,-
OOO,OOO-Ton Shortage

CHICAGO, May 22.-Modihcation of
the Sherman antitrust law was the
first recommendation Of Harry N.
Taylor, of Kansas City, in accepting
the presidency of the National Coal
Association to-day. He said the coal
industry had been $50 hedged about
by restrictions and regulations" during
the war that shortcut methods to CO.
operation practically were impossible.
Previously DR.. Harry A. Garfield
United States Fuel Administrator, had
urged continuance of wartime govern
troll of basic raw materials, though
saying he knew some coal producers
wanted to keep as far away from the
government as possible. He had said
that new order had arrived and that
1t no longer was question Of the
government keeping "hands off," but
how far it should keep Glands on"
President Taylor gave solemn
warning to the public to buy coal now,
citing a 50,00O,0O0 ton shortage in
bituminus production and one of g.
100000 tons anthracite up to June 1
next, shortage of 10000 miners and
the burden on transportation facilities S
of handling this years crops.
GLOW in the world are we going to
meet this situation and make up the
shortage of 5S,OO0,OO0 tons at q time
IN the year when we can't get trans
portation and we can't get men to dig
the full output of our mines?" he

Ironton Girl with Alleged Bill Raiser.

thursdays st. Louis Republic.)
JOPLIN, No., Feb. 12.-William Davis
was arrested here Monday on a charge
of changing 81 bills to $40. Following
a few hours sweating at police head
quarters, Davis made a signed con-
~fession, saying he was out of work,
that his wife and baby were hungry
and a tempter in the form of man told
him how to raise bills.
According to his signed confession,
Davis is 81 years old, born in Arkan-
sas, and was married in Houston,
Texas, in 1916. The couple have one
child. He lived for a short time in
Belleville, Ills, moving from there to
st. Louis, Mo-, where he remained
about one year, and then moved to
Tulsa, Ok, where for six months he
was employed by the Hudson Motor
Company, leaving them to start in
business himself under the name OF
the Velie Motor Car Company, but in
three weeks time he "went out of
business"
Then Davis failed to find W ork, ac-
cording to his story, and was told how
to raise 81 bills to the denomination
of $40.
Davis in his confession said he went
home and started experimenting. His
first efforts were crude, but he sue
ceeded in passing these first bills at q
Greek restaurant. He says he prac-
ticed until he made a perfect repro-
duction of the $40 notes.
Davis girl wife held a lengthy in
terview with her imprisoned husband.
After the interview officers pointed out
to her the grave position which her
husband was facing and showed her
the $120 in raised bills found on his
person. She with her 9-month- old
baby left Joplin yesterday evening
for the home of her father in Ironton,
Mo. !
John r. Gibbs, Deputy United States
Marshal, has been notified and in re-
turn has wired Chief of Police Myers
that an official OF the Department of
Justice was en- route to Joplin to take
charge of the prisoner.

The people of our district met last
Friday night with our teachers and
pupils for the purpose of helping the
Syrian children. The school furnish
ed a nice little program, with the
management of Miss Jessie HUI and
Mrs. Stella Carter as teachers. The
program was short but good, every
little boy and girl doing "his bit" to
help the children of the European
countries by reciting. The district
was apportioned for $500, SO the
good instructors of our district de-
cided that to have a pie supper would
be a good way to raise the money;
and it was, the proceeds amounting
to $16.15. Only had s or 10 pies and
they sold well. We feel that we have
certainly tried to do our bit in every
thing asked for. Then again, we the
people of our district, feel we have
two of Iron county's best teachers,
Miss Huff being the principal and
Mrs. Carter the primary. Mrs. Car
ter sure is a mother to the little ones,
is ever ready to bind up all their
bruises and heal every broken heart.
THE PROGRAM.
Song-"Americs"-By the School.
Address-Mrs. Carter.
Recitation-Inez Lewis.

many thanks to him and Mr.. Rich,
and invite them back to our school
again. We will have a Washington's
Birthday program here at our school,
February %. And we cordially invite
every soldier or sailor to be with us
on that day. The school will furnish

school. Any soldier or sailor wanting
to attend, or csn do so, and wants to
know anything about the program
please write Miss Huff or Mrs. Stella
Carter. We want the soldiers to drill
for us and tell us of their travels;
their experience in camp or over sea.
Anyway, Wen do our best to enter
tain all who are present. Would also
like to have our County S~uperintend-

in toward the point Of landing. The
great majority Of the prisoners re-
NAMED on deck, chained together and
helpless, yet surrounded by armed
guards, while the few who had already
been purchased by passengers hum
bly, followed their new masters ashore
the moment the gangplank touched
the soil of Virginia. There we're five
of us altogether thus favored, but l
vas the only one owing allegiance to
Roger Fairfax. The rude landing
wharf along which we lay was already
densely crowded. Altogether it was
a bustllng scene, full Of change and
color, the air noisy with shouting
voices, the line OF wharveS filled with
a number of vessels, either newly ar
rived or preparing to depart. 1t was
with no small difficulty we succeeded
in forcing u way through this jos
Ting throng until we attained to an
open space ashore. l followed closely
behind the three composing our party,
Roger Fairfax and Sanchez, with the
laughing girl between them for pro-
lection. Fairfax was evidently well
known to a number present, for he
vas being greeted on all sides with
hearty handshakes and words Of well
come.
We boarded the Fairfax slOop. The
baggage was transferred. / worked

Not another sail appeared across
that surface of waters, not even a fish

visible along u course being a dim
outline close In against that far-away
headland toward which / had been in
structed to steer. Il stared at this OBJ
ject, at first believing it a wreck, but
finally distinguishing the bare masts
of a medium-sized bark, evidently rid
ing at anchor only a few hundred
yards off shore.
The Spaniard presently pointed out
to Fairfax the position Of the bark.
Surely a strange place in which to
anchor, Lieutenant" said Fairfax.
Bark rugged and very heavily spared.
Seems to be all right. What do you
make of the vessel?"
The Spaniard twisted his mustache
but exhibited little interest, although
his gaze was upon the craft.
Decidedly Dutch, I should say" he
answered slowly. "The beggars seem
quite at home there, with all their
washing out. Not a usual anchoragef"

STOP SLAUGHTER OF BIRDS
principIed Slayers of F%eathered
Friends Of the Farmer.

The guardian Of the birds on pro-
tected lands is an important part OF
the work Of the federal and Audubon
authorities. Although state and a
tiOnal laws have been passed making
Ii wrong to kill the birds for their
plumage, plume hunters are constantly
raiding the nests of the waterfowl and
killing them for the sake of the prices
the wings will bring. Thus a constant
watch is necessary, Patrol boats are
constantly lowering along the shores
Of the reservations, and more than one
pitched battle has been fought to save
the egret or gulls from slaughter. In
Florida, one of the best game wardens
of the Audubon society was killed by
bird butchers.
If those who call the robin the thief
of their fruit, and hate him for his
early morning raids on their berries,
would realize that the little fruit
spoiled IS a light dessert for the huge
quantity Of insects killed before the
fruit was touched, then their feelings
would be more kindly. CutwOr1ns and
Cranefies, which do great harm TO graiE
crops, are favOrite foods for robins,
while leaf-bettles, vine-worms, ETC., are
eaten in great MISUNDERSTANDING.
