In the coal situation there are three
great factors-the need of the public
for coal, the desire of 5OO,O miners
for better wages and conditions of
work, and the profits of few har-
drcd operators. And the government;

regard for tine least worthy .. then

 Had the honor of seeing Gen. Pershing Monday. He inspected the 3rd Division. Had a bad day of it, too. We had to hike about twenty miles, got there about ten o'clock and had to stay un- til five. It was sure cold and we didn't have anything to eat but a sandwich. They started out with our Division, and got lost, but when we started back we met them and all got our mess kits and ate right on the road. It was showing and pretty cold but we didn't mind that. It was about nine o'clock when we got back and l was sure tired. The pretty part about it though was that we had the next day off. l got up about ten o'clock and was some sore. It was nice to sleep as long in the morning as you want to without hearing a bugler

"HOME" MEANS LANDLORD AND RENT"

The United States has fought all
her wars to preserve the home" and
yet probably 90 per cent of her people
are tenants. This was the text Sc
lected the other day by United States
Senator William NJ. Calder Of New
York In an address before the New
York Real Estate associations conven-
ton urging the necessity Of national
campaign for the creation Of homes.
He said:
1.-THE object Of each Of our wars
has been, in the last analysis, to pre-
serve the home. Yet we find that to
the majority Of people in this country
home means little more than dwell
ing for which they are paying rent.
What is worse In the situation Is that
the percentage Of these rent payers is
growing.
''In 1890 we were advised that 81
per cent Of the people in America
lived under the rental system, in 1910
that the percentage had increased to
30, and probably the census Of 1920 '
people will be classed at tenants"

WH WHO IS WHO
I NOW NOW
D'ANNUNZIO: "DICTATOR OF FIUME"

Grabriele d'Annunzio, dictator of
Fiume," surely has had a long pose
under the limelight. He was popular
ly credited with a large share in
pushing Italy into the war. He made
a name for himself as an aviator. And
when he took possession of Fiume all
the world looked on in amaZement.
The Fiume adventure Of the fear
less dAnnunzio has been dubbed
"Garibaldian" and as such glOrifed.
Judging by superficial appearances, in
fact, it bears some resemblance to the
famous expedition of 1860. But the
likeness goes no further than mere
appearances. If we compare d'Annun-
zio's expedition with Garibaldi's we
soon discover a capital difference be-
tween them.
The one Of 1860 was prepared and
accomplished by handful of private
citizens free of military duty and
with the approval of the govern
ment." The Fiume expedition has

Southwestern Rice Crop
Loss Put at $17,25O,OOO

Beaumont, Tex.-Rice farmers in
Texas, Louisiana and Arkan-
sas will suffer losses of 100000
bags over estimates made sixty days
ago, according to e, A. Eignus, man
ager of the Southern Rice Growers
Association, who recently received re-
ports from the three states on actual
yield.
Mr.. Eignus declared the loss this
year will amount to as much as the
entire crop was worth Is years ago.
Using $11.50 per bag as a basis, he
figures the farmers of the three states
lost this year $17,250OO0, or an even
million dollars more than the entire
crop brought Is years ago.
1t is said the yield of rice thrashed
since the recent heavy rains has been
very unsatisfactory.
