Suffered Unnecessarily.

Some one has told this very inter
esting story Of ship that was be-
Gained. The drinking water that they
had on board was exhausted, and the
sailors were nearly dying Of thirst.
Just as they were about to give up all
hope a sail was spied In the distance.
The men, taking new lease on life,
signaled their distress, but to their
horror, instead Of veering from its
course to bring them aid, 1t answered
with these words Lower your buckets
where you are!" A frenzy Of wrath
seized the thirsty men and they cursed
the captain of the ship who, they sup
posed, had renowned all the tradi-
tions of the sea, as well as the In
stincts Of humanity, in telling them
TO drink the salt water.
Then one Of the sailors suggested
that they obey the order. and when he
had lowered the bucket discovered
that the ship was standing In stream
Of fresh water.

GOOD SAMARITAN OF EUROPE
Switzerland Surely Has Earned Right
to That Title From War-Strieken
Nations Surrounding Her.

Since the battle Of Morgarten in
1915 Switzerland has blazed the trail
toward human freedom as the Good
Samaritan" Of war-stricken Europe.
says Frederick Dossenbach In Ameri-
can Review Of Reviews.
The Helvetian republic was born
ut the end Of the thirteenth century,
through desire for emancipation from
autocratic despotism, when she scrap
heaped the divine right Of kings. The
very pact (known as the "Vow of
Grutli'') which the ancient federates
swore to on that quiet spot, the Grutli,
on the classic lake of Lucerne, on the
first day of August, 1901, embodied the
great principle Of "the right of those
who submit to authority to have a
voice in their own governments"
There the old Swiss proclaimed self
government against the autocratic rule
Of the Hapsburgs.
Since those early struggles Swift
erland fought fiercely and unfalter-
ingly to maintain her liberty and
independence until following the Ma
poleohic wars. At the congress Of
Paris in 1915 the European powers
France, Great Britain, Russia, Portu-
gal, Prussia and Austria-formally
and automatically acknowledged that
the perpetual neutrality and inviola-
bility Of Switzerland and Its independ-
ence from all foreign influence are in
the best interests of the policy of the
whole of Europe"

One Reason Girls Steal.

This bit of philosophy Of reformed
girl thief was contained in an article
in the Peoples Home Journal on the
value of the probation law: "A girl
can no more live without few pleas
ures and pretty possessions than she
can without food. Take 1t from me,
girls don't want to steal. If they knew
how to earn things for themselves.
they wouldn't be bad. Some day therell
be way found for girls to earn what
they need before they get into trouble.
not after. Then the whole worldll be
different"

1919- Thanksgiving 1920

TT HAS NOT been bad year-the last twelve months.
 There has been much to be thankful for. we meas OUT blessings by money and by opportunity tor material gain, it has been most excellent year.
 There has been good deal of turmoil in the world for which cannot be very thankful but given lively hope that by next Thanksgiving be thankful that that is over.
 That we need not despair is in itself cause for thanksgiving and we very far from despair.
 We of the Salt River Valley have many special causes for hankfulness We have been rather isolated from the disturbances which have troubled much of the rest of the world The uproar has reached us only as distant murmurng and think that we can detect that that is dying away.

Efforts to learn the source of radical funds and where and for what they are sent occupied virtually the entire session.
 Examination of Martens was suS- pended at his request until December 4, to give him time to consult his law yers.

After a three hour conference at which representatives of the miners openly declared the new scale was fin sufting7 and sharply questioned Dr. Garfield, the sub scale committee com posed of miners and operators met to consider the settlement plan and quickly adjourned.
 Another meeting will be held tomor- row
 Believe Refusal Final
 The miners refusal to accept, while announced to Dr. Garfield, was taken by the operators to be definite Thomas T. Brewster, chairman of the operators association, declared the Garfield II per cent statement formally eliminated Secretary Wilson's proposal for a 31 per cent increase.
 The operators are ready to nego- tiate new wage agreement, Brewster said, despite Dr. Garfield's staterner+ that the government will not permit an advance in the price of coal"
 There was a sharp note of protest from the miners over the amount of increase, which was much lower than they had expected. Frank Harrington. president of the Illinois district of min CTS was cheered when he declared that union men in his state would not ac- cept it. Answering Harrington, ,--'-- wanted to know if miners refusing to work would be classed as outlaws. Dr. Garfield said the government could not compel anybody to work but that it would provide every protection for those willing to go into the mines and give the country the coal it needed
 While the sub-scale committee will give consideration to the proposition, the full committee, representing both sides, will remain here to receive any plan of settlement that might be agreed upon. Operators here will meet tomorrow to decide whether to grant the increase in view of Dr. Garfields positive an- nouneement that DO increase in the price of coal would be allowed Many of them shared the view expressed hv Phil H. Penna, of Terre Haute. Ind. that some of the largest companies would be forced to shut down if that much Of an increase was given
 May Quit Conference
 William Green, secretary of the l United Mine Workers, declared tomor- row would see the end of all neeotia- tions as the operators are opposed to granting any increase and the miners can not procede on the figures given l by Dr. Garfield" Many of the miners ! oSAAu tifCy Witn Al6Xa0der Howat, president of the Kansas miners. ! who announced that If we are unable to receive wage here that will guar antee us decent living 3s5 days in 1 the year we will go home and fight for 1 a while"
 To pay higher wages than the pro- posed scale would make miners a fav- pred class and would result in the payment by the public of an enormaus fund to minority" Dr. Garfield said replying to questions from Frank Far | rington, president of the Illinois dis trict of the United Mine Workers. Such situation Dr. Garfield, added. does not differ from that of a corporation l that attempts to add to it's profits at the expense of the few. Dr. Garfield exp ained that b. was not trying to dictate to the wage scale committee what it should do, but that he was prepared to say that regardless of ths amount of wage advance agreed to by the operators and miners, the public would not be called uon to pay more for it's coal

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Bitumin- osfs coal mines east of the Mississippi river in 1917 made what might be termed fabulous profits" the general average being from 100 to 150 per cent on invested capital, according to a statement issued tonight by Secretary Glass, based on data furnished by ex- perts of the internal revenue bureau.
 Coal operators generally in the United States in the years 1914 and 1915 lost money when normal depletion and depreciation are taken into con- sideration." the statement said What is meant by this, is that proper item in fixing costs, is depreciation of plant and depletion of the cost of the value of the coal in the ground.

President Wilson Vetoes Prohibi-

Repasses 1t

Old John Barleycorn came into

bill providing for the extension
of the war time prohibition from
Jan. |, 1920. to July | when the
constitutional dry amendment
will go into effect passed Con-
gress recently but met with
Pres. Wilson's disapproval. His
veto of the measure reached the

hours the bill was repassed by
that law making body by over
two thirds majority. Tuesday
the measure reached the Senate
and that body laid aside the con-
sideration of the League of Ma

right of way and repassed the
prohibition bill by a vote of near
ly four to one. This is the first
time in the history of Congress
