ton Chooses Its Uniforms;
Packages For Hospital

This morning Colonel Frank Brua
Keefer, commander at the United
States reconstruction hospital in
Carlisle, sent truck to the armory
here where Harry w. Long, chair
man of the general committee of the
Home Folks Victory Association of
the World War, helped fill it with
goodies for the wounded soldiers.
There were.innumerable packages
auctioned off last evening at a meet
ing of the association held in the
armory by Frank Hoy. Sr., the pro-
ceeds netting about $45 for the pa
rade fund. In the parcels of every
size and shape imaginable were
fruit, jellies. cakes and heaps of
other good things to eat, as we'll as
wearables for the invalids. The bid
ding ran high as the enthusiasm and
Auctioneer Hoy got good prices for
all his wares, especially after he ran
some of his amusing stories in with
the bids.
Mrs. Maurice E. F'inney, president,
presided at the business session
when reports were heard from III.
w. Long, of the general commit
tee; j. w. Troup, of entertainment;
Mrs. j. l.. Shader, refreshments,
and Mrs. Jacob Hitz, of the parade
committee. Mrs. Hitz showed a
sample flag to be carried in the pa
rade by this association white
pennant with scarlet keystone. The
women will wear white frocks ana
overseas caps with similar insignia.
The next meeting of the association
will be held April 10 in the knights
of Columbus hall, where an enter
tainment will be given, the proceeds
to increase the parade fund.
In Chestnut Street Hall
Tentative arrangements for the
great vaudeville and dance to be
held Monday evening. April 2S. in
Chestnut stret hall, were outlined
by j. w. Troup. Stunts will be pre-
sented by several organizations and
the saxo- banjo orchestra will play
for the dancing. Tickets will be
low priced and the members of the
G. A. r. will be special guests of
honor with the mothers of the boys
in service.
Everyone seemed delighted last
evening with the speed and COM

home plans are going forward, the

COAL MINERS HAVE GRIEVANCE

Exchange
The coal miners have, without ques-
ton, good grounds for complaint
against their employers since the con-
ditions in the coal regions do not
properly take into account the rights
of the workmen. The popular i'm
preston that the miners are striking
for a shorter day is wrong; since their
contention is to provide steadier en-
ployment instead of sudden shut
downs, which the operators order
whenever the demand for coal slack
ems. This is one of the burdens which
the miners believe that they should
rot b. called upon to bear. Despite
all sorts of denials, it has become gen.
orally to be believed that the operators
manipulate coal prices by juggling
the supply, and this belief is borne out
by voluminous figures and tables in
trodueed into the Congressional Re-
cord by Senator Owen. The coal
miners and the public are always the
sufferers and the miners want an end
to the needless practice of keeping
them in needless idleness for long
periods at time. The government
recognizes that it has solemn duty
to perform in the coal regions, and if
conditions are not what they appear
it is probable that even in the coal
mines there will be beneficial effects
from an era of "house-cleaning."
The coal mining crisis appears to
be clearing and the atmosphere for a
better understanding between en-
ployers and employees-and if the
labor leaders have thoroly learned
their lesson-real progress in better
ing the industrial situation may be
expected.

". II. Zindel, of Kaycee, Wyoming,
has u great stlcker up his sleeve, says
the Field and Farm. He recently dis
posed of his ranch and stock holdings
for SlS5,OO0 and proposes to devote
his entire attention in testing his
theory about irrigation. The Zindel
plan is use icebergs which he expects
TO build during the winter. He will
carry water from mountain streams
TO point where il will drop several
hundred feet. This will freeze and
create big iceberg that will not melt
until far into the summer. Il got
the idea from visiting Niagara last
winter" says Zindel, "and | can see
no reason why it will not work. Dur
ing the winter months thousands of
these icebergs could be built in the
mountains to hold the moisture back
until after the snow has disappeared" I"
We would like to add for his infor-
nation that the plan was tried on the
head waters of Clear Creek by the late
Henry Lee and others and worked all
right so far as it went, but was never
developed to the full extent of its
possibilities.
