Judge Amcs issued the following
statement:

TO proceed iii the courts. The dispute
between the mine owners and
workers is an entirely different ques-

Refusal of the Government TO va

for settlement of the strike within As
hours, according to Edgar Wallace,
legislative representative OF inc

If the injunction were with
drawn, the scale committees repre-

get together in twenty four hours
and settle their differences at one
sitting" Wallace said. The strike,
however, would not be called off un-

TO ACT AGAINST
FOOD HOARDERS

Attorney General A. Mitchell Pal
mer today took steps to protect the
public against slIy-hIgh prices Of meat
and meat products that might result
from boarding by speculatorE OF avail
able supplies. The Food Adminlstra-
tion's sudden action in letting down
the bars by removing restrictions
against storage for more than than
period of sixty days had aroused a
storm of protest from many quarters,
chiefly from those Government agen-
cies in Washington which are trying
to force down the cost OF living.
Soon after the Food Administrators
oNder lifting the restrictions was pro-
muIgated, there followed ever the
wires reports, said to have been IN
spIred, Of probable great shortage In
pork and pork products. Officials
secuted these reports, traced their
origin, and, acting upon the directions
Of the Attorney General, Federal
agents in every important meat pro-
ducing' and storage center were in
structed to watch for cases or hoard
ing and to report violations to the
Department of Justice. The Depart
ment OF Justice will proceed Under the
broad powers conferred by the Lever
act. forbIdding boarding OF foodstuhs
for unreasonable periods during times
of scarcity in any particula" commod-
ity. Prosecutions will be handled by
district attorneys in the districts
where in the violations occur
Federal prosecutors viii handle
without gloves" every individual, high
or low, who attempts to influence
prices through boarding Of meats, or
any other of the staple commodities
over which the Food Administration
has relaxed its regulations.

AS Germany
Painted Herself

In another but closely related cate
CORY are whole series of folders
which when opened from one side
show how Germany paints herself, and
unfolded from the reverse side illus
trate Germany in her real character.
Opening one of these folders from
the right hand side the reader is first
confronted with this inscription: Ger
man Peace. Enough blood has been
spilled. Let us be brothers working
for peace and for human progress.
Thus speaks fat Germania, crowned
with symbolical olive branch and hug
ging on chest a cornucopia." The pict-
ure that then comes into view is that
of an obese female, a dove of peace
perched on her shoulder, while food
and wine fall from the cornucopia she
carries. Her train is borne by a
group Of Boche soldiers waving olive
branches. Open the folder from the
opposite side and you find out what a
German peace would be in reality. The
figure of a brutal German officer, in
spiked helmet, sprawls across the page,
while on the side are toiling men and
women, one group driven toward a

grasping the globe with bloody fingers.
BY the time we have reached No. 4
we are quite prepared for the dis
closure that Mr.. Bocheman's real pur-
pose was bolstering up the business of
war, (which is the Prussan national
industry" The five disks are now
opened and a bloody Boche with q
torch in one hand and dagger in the
other leers from the centre, with the
statements: "On August 2, 1914, the
opportunity seemed good for the Ger
man business man to show himself as
he is, and he rushed forward, an incen-
diary and a murderer" Surrounding
him are pictures of the Rheims Cathe-
dral under bombardment, the Lusitania
sinking by the head, and Boche SOL
diers shooting Miss Cavell. Below is
the warming: "All these crimes were
intended to assure to the Boche the
commercial supremacy of the world.
FRENCHMEN. REMEMBER!"
This ingenious bit of propaganda is
probably not intended for the big bust
ness man, but for the smaller merchant
who has bought his wares in the past
from Germany and who, it is desired,
should no longer yield to the lures
of the Boche commercial traveller, with
his cheap and attractive wares, long
credits and other inducements.

the Federation of Agricultural Socie-

any particular piece of propaganda
should get into wide circulation it is
turned over to these representatives
at the general meeting held under the

representatives becomes a distributor

For the

Special classes of the population are

course the soldier is not forgotten. he
being by all odds the largest and most
potent class.

pared card perforated SO that by
revolving disk which is pivoted on
the back Of the card there appear the
answers to eight questions printed on
its face. "What would be the poilu's
answer to these questions?" the card
asks, and below this are printed the
different queries, precisely those that
people are asking, and the answers are
precisely those that the government
would like to have the poilu make. For
instance, revolve the disk on the back
until the figure appears in the
circle. Question 8 is, "Why should
France impose its own conditions Of
peace?" and the answer appearing at
the tip of the poilu's outstretched
fingers is: Because Germany has
strangled Russia and Rumania by her
conditions of peace, and because France
must not suffer the same fate"
Question 2 is: "Why should France

But people somewhat revised their
opinion Of him when poetry-in the
inclusive and popular sense-began
all at once to appear in the Hillville
Morning Star" under the Commo-
dore's name.
Now few folks in Hillville knew
or cared anything about poetry; nev-
ertheless, they held that any one who
wrote the same was a remarkable
human. The state Of being poet
was synonymous with fame, and to
them the Commodore's case seemed
one Of erich hangings in a homeiy
house" The old mamie wasn't
really old, being perhaps little
over 80, though looking much more
gave no token of pride Of perform
ance. No scintilla of change in him
was observable. He went his custom
ary, taciturn way, unspoiled by
sudden celebrity-due, belize, people
thought, to his muse having ripened
late in life, when nothing, of what
import or significance soever along
such lines, matters very great deal.
There was a suburb Of Hillville,
over against Ricketts, Dam, called
Cur-Town, renowned for it's large
population of dogs. Every family
seemed to have three or four-one,
on an average, for each member of
the household. Every waif dog and
stray, every homeless or abused ca
nine in Hillville, from time to time
eventually migrated thither and
there found sanctuary from adult
Indifference and from persecution by
sinful boys. The Commodore's first
poetic effluence was induced by this
elysium of dogs, for it was a piece
Of doggerel entitled "Lines on the
Contented Ours of Cur-Town," and
in these terms and measures:
Oh, happy. happy life and a careless
lead they
The mongrels Of the town Of Cur, out
Ricketts, Dam way.
They bask in the sun, gnaw each his
bono, foil the pesky flea,
And don't give Ricketts, Dam for any
thing else, believe me.
This, though, was only a step to
Parnassus, for gradually more dig
nified themes, as rule, inspired his
Tyre; he versified about nature and
about still life, wove georgics and
eclogues, and wrote Of Midnight on
the Mountain Top" "Apple Bios
soms," mint Along the Creek
Bank" "The Tennessee at Johnson's g
Bend" and so on. Some of his num-
bers now and then were even
