If the facts covering all the phas- es of the coal industry necessary to a proper adjustment of the matters submitted to you shall be investigated and reported to the public, am sure that your re- port, in addition to being accepted as the basis for a new wage agreement for the bituminous coal miners, will promote the pub- lie welfare and make for a settled condition in the industry.

Upon your acceptance of this appointment, I shall be pleas ed to call an early meeting of the commission in Washington so that you may promptly lay out plans for your work.
 Sincerely yours,

Bananas, Water
 Will Give Weight

Atlanta, Ga.. Dec. 20.-"Plenty of bananas washed down with a couple quarts of water.'
 This was the weight-building prescription which a friend gave to Frank Shipp of Columbus just before he applied for enlistment in the United States marine corps here.
 Shipp is no heavyweight, and he feared that he would not pass the examination. So he filled up on bananas and water. The med ical officer feared Shipp had dropsy. He was so swelled around the equator that the doctor thought he had swallowed a water melon whole.
 Shipp confessed to the bananas and water, but after the swelling went down he was found to be heavy enough and was enlitse :. heavy enough and was enlisted.

FIRE DESTROYS
PROPERTY

Tuesday evening, the big barn,
packing house and bunk house on
the Ashwortk ranch north of town
were completely destroyed by fire.
The origin of the fire is not known,
but it is supposed it was started by
children. There was no stock in
the barn at the time but the packing
house contained over 5000 made-up
boxes and several thousand box
shook. picking boxes, sacks, ladders
and many tools. This is a great loss
to Mr.. Ashworth at this particular
time when the fruit crop is almost
ready to be harested
AS the barn was a long way from
the house the fire was not discoy-
cred until it was nearly destroyed.
The barn was partly covered by
but the rest is total
loss.

mortgages

Quite a number of the stock hold
ers of the Grange Cooperative Saw
Mill Company went up to the Mill
last Sunday for little trip and to
see what is being done at that end
of the business. They were taken
up by Guy Howard in his big
truck. They had quite narrow
escape while going up the Black
Canyon hill, when about half way
up they met an auto coming down
In-turning out to pass, the truck
slipped over the grade, but Guy,
being a good driver and having the
presence of mind, suddenly cramp-
ed the machine, allowing it to make
the descent backwards down the
steep grade right side up without
any damage. Several of the party be-
came frightened and jumped to the
side hill and were somewhat bruis-
ed up in rolling down over the rocks.
The party was soon back on the road
and on the way rejoicing that they
escaped what might have been a
serious accident The party return
ed the same evening we'll pleased
with the outlook at the mill,

adapted to worldwide use.
The competition is open to all
humankind. The money will be paid

President W. H. Hammer of the
World Trade Club.
Britain" ''Ambria, "Ambritti-
ca" BRAN" I" Sam -Bull'are some
words thus far suggested. New
names are constantly coming. The
World Trade Club is offering this
award because in carrying on its
present campaign for the adoption of
metric units by all English-speaklng
people~-the United States, the Brit
ish Isles, Canada, Australia, New

cided to renounce his future per-
sonal interests, including offers of
lucrative engagements on the lee
ture platform, and become perma-
nently affiliated with the Salvation
Army Moreover, Chaplain Jones,
said, he intended urging his daugh-
ter, Ruth, now studying in Chicago
to become concert singer to en-
