Barley Crop Greater

Not until 1899, as far as is known. had barley become crop of more than 00,0o0,oo0 bushels in this country. The production was then 10000, GOO bushels. This quantity was permanently exceeded in 1902 and thereafter, and by 1914 the crop reached 195, ,000,0e0 bushels. The pres sure for food and feed raised the production to 229,GO0.G00 bush els in 1915, but an unfavorable season forced it to 1S2, ,000. .000 bushels in 1916 Marked gains followed to 212,000,000 bushels in 1917 and 256.000, ,00O bushels in 1918.

PRACTICAL SAVINGS
A Penny Saved Is Not Penny Made : Unless That Penny Stays Saved

This short true story relates the actual experience of a wom an, who has thought out a sys- tenn of actual saving that is, bring ing real results.
 The one way to save is tC save. When 1 have actually saved quarter 1 put iv into a thrift stamp without delay. If 1 save that quarter on one thing and then spend it carelessly for something else, I have not saved any real money.
 The other day I went down town expecting to pay Sl0 for a pair of special shoes. 1 attend, ed sale and got the very shoes 1 wanted for S7.75. I had saved S2.25.
 But how to keep it saved? 1 went right down stairs and bought nine thrift stamps and stuck them on the thrift card I do the same thing when I have saved 9single quarter, and l am seriously thinking of getting d little penny bank to hold saved pennies or dimes until they grow to thrift stamp size.

Night Adjournment Without TAX

Causes Sharp Disappointment.

Misconstruction of a message sent
to the White House yesterday by
Attorney General Palmer, at Indian
apoliS, resulted in a premature an
nouncement by officials there that
the miners had agreed to the Presi-
dents proposal for the settlement of
the coal strike.
When revised, the message, which
was dispatched by Mr.. Palmer just
as the union spokesman were begin
ming their meeting, said the miners
would promptly acquiesce in the
Presidents plan
The proceedings at Indianapolis
were watched with keenest interest
in official quarters here and the night
adjournment without a decision on
sharp disappointment. Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield declined to make any
comment and had nothing to say"
when word of adjournment without
a vote came. Coal operators met in
formally and watched the trend of
events at Indianapolis quite as ear
nestly as these were watched at the
White House, the railroad admins

Despite the likelihood Of a strike
settlement and full resumption of
coal production, restrictions on the
consumption of fuel and power gen
Grated from fuel were not relaxed in
any degree. Nor were official steps
taken toward an abatement The

road administration, agent for the

COAL OPERATORS COMING
TO SEE DIRECTOR HINES
Men From Four Fields Say Diver
sions West Prevent Their Fill
ing Contracts.

A delegation of coal mine operators
from the New River. Pocahontas.
kanawha and Winding Gulf fields was
expected to confer with Director General
Hines this afternoon. regarding ship
ments of contract coal from mines in
these sections to their consignees.
The operators from these fields are
under contract with many western in
dustrial firms and public utility cor
porations to furnish quantities of coal.
They claim that under the diversion
orders of the central coal committee
the bulk of the coal mined in their
fields is being diverted west and that
their contracts cannot be fulfilled I'M
der these conditions.
They had no appointment with the
director general, but announcement
was made. following a meeting yes
terday in Philadelphia, that they
would reach Washington this after
noon and Immediately see Mr.. Hines.
Railroad administration officials
pointed out that in any case their
complaints of failure to deliver con-
tract coal would not obtain the de-
sired result. Officials said that the
fue administrators order of October
30, forbidding sale of coal at more
than the government price, would
their demands. 1t was said that the
coal was. without doubt. contracted
for at higher price than the fuel
administration figure.
Soft coal needs in the eastern sec
ton of the country are not nearly so
stringent as in the west, it was point
ed out today. and for this reason, as
well as other reasons, the bulk of coal
diversion has been to the west. Con-
ditions in Montana, the Dakotas,
Nebraska and Wyoming were held up
as reasons for coal diversion to the
west.
