One Of the most severe winters

with which L. p. Hardy had to deal
during his first and only year as fuel
administrator for St. Joseph county.
And if the piecing-out of Inadequate
fuel supplies were not enough. Mr..
Hardy was also charged with the
enforcement OF "heatless Mondays"
and "lightless nights" besides the
period of "gasless Sundays which
came late in the summer.
Early In the winter OF 1917-1S Mr..

oliver annex building. which build
ing was already housing the War
Savings state headquarters.
Here, with more room in which TO
work. and more space for filing cab
tration was organized upon a bust
ness basis. Each coal dealer in the
city was given a quantity of cards
upon which TO make daily reports as
to the extent OF his supply of coal.
These reports were then compared.
and the available tonnage was con-
stantly checked so that the smallest

But even with the system installed.
the situation was serious, because
the heavy SHOWS, coupled with trou-
BILE at the mines, had made IL i'm
possible for coal to reach South
Bend. School supplies were borrow
ed, and sold in bushel lots to con-
sumers. The Indiana & Michigan
Electric Co. turned over hundreds
of tons Of fuel for disposition by Mr.
Hardy. and several factories helped

When the 'heatless Monday" or

Then spring came. and the fuel
administration thought its troubles
were over, for the outlook for coal
for the coming winter was far
brighter than had been that OF the
preceding winter. Many warnings

Discomfort

Here's a fairy tale for grown folks. Once upon
time son was born to the king and queen Of a
powerful country All the good fairies came to the
christening to bestow some quality upon the little
prince.
Finally there came fairy who wished to en-
dow the future ruler with "discontent." This made
the king very angry and he had her banished from
the palace.
The young prince grew into manhood-a prom
Using ruler But upon ascension to the throne, his
country began to lag behind A search for the
reason showed that the cause lay in the absolute
satisfaction of the young ruler with present meth
DDS and ways of doing things. He never reached
out for improvements because things suited him
as they were.
The good fairy banished from the p , ace by the
father took with her the sons greatest asset
discomfort.
Dissatisfaction is the greatest trait one can
possess provided it is directed into constructive
improvements. man will stay young and active
just so long as he is never entirely content with
his place in life, and strives through honest hon.

AT OUR HOUSE WE ARE KEEPING SCORE
ON THE ELDEST

One day from school she returned with a
record sheet which was issued by the National
tuberculosis Association.
Mother keeps score on the child for eight weeks
and if she attains a certain average she gets a
badge, or a diploma, or something.
We looked over the list of duties and at the
record our eldest had made for a couple of weeks,
and we remembered our youth and wondered what
sort of showing we would have made.
Indeed we wonder how the average citizen
would pan out if a score was kept on him for six
months.
Firstly you wash your hands before each meal
You washed your face and neck and ears and
cleaned your nails this day.
You kept everything that was unclean out OF
your mouth.
You drank glass of water before each meal
and before going to bed, and drank no tea, coffee
nor other injurious drinks.
Brushed your teeth morning and night.
Took ten or more deep breaths of fresh air.
Played out doors more than thirty minutes.
Was in bed ten hours and kept windows open
Stood up straight, sat straight, ate slowly,
attended to the body's needs at the regular time.
II tried to keep neat and cheerful constantly
and to be helpful to Others
II took full bath one or more days Of the
week.
How about it?
Could you qualify for certificate?

OUR FRIEND. THE GRAVE.DlGGER

Oh, Lord the Grave Diggers' union of San
Francisco is threatening to strike for raise from
81 to s. per day and the trouble is likely to spread
to all cemeteries throughout the country
From nursing bottle to hole in the ground,
milkman to grave digger they're surely after the
ultimate consumer.
But, really, why shouldn't the fellow with the
shovel have his union and strive, like everybody
else, for more pay, in these times of high cost of
everything? He has to eat, wear clothes and have
place in which to Sleep breed and care for his
progeny, just as much as skilled workman, or a
banker does. He feels. just as does the highest
paid workman. And civilization cannot get along
without him. The common laborer is the beginner
of enterprises and, in the case of grave diggers,
the servitor who kindly looks after the conclusions
of careers. He is man and feels neglect or upift
as man. :'.-. .-.-+~-
What is the difference between the lowly grave
digger, and the best paid among US? Isn't it large
1y that we are the most profitable to somebody
else? Is there any great difference Of capacity to
feel?
