The close of October, 81 days

Anderson declared that as nearly rs
he could ascertain the nearest to this
number which had previously been
issued was 81 IN on month, December
in his former term Of office.
Some Of these have been issued TO
people outside the city but on the
other hand some people In this county
have gone outside for their licenses
Judge Anderson says he issues but
few licenses on Friday and IN all his
experience has married but one
couple on that day. Rev. L. S. Bay
ney however says he has married
several on Friday and they seem to
have slight superstition in regard to
he day. Dan Cupid should be happy

GIVES A. o. U. W. FIGURES
Grand Master Sends Out Startling
News On The Order.

The members Of the A. .. u. w.
have received letter from tile grand
master, ]. w. Graybill, that causes
some alarm for the orders future.
Several years ago the plan Of assess
ment was changed from a Hat rate To
a classified rate which 1t was stated
would make its insurance sound. Now
Mr.. Graybill says this is a failure ana
that there must be changing Of poll
cles TO what are in effect old life
forms for al under sixty years old II
the order is to escape trouble. lie
says:
Because Of the steady drain, our
total available ets-accumulated
surplus have diminished rapidly.
The following figures will show you
the situation. January l. 1913, 81.
O17,21S; January !, 1919. $799,510;
October / 1919. $404,017. More
than one-half Of our accumulated sur
plus funds have been used in the last
year ana nine months In making up
the defciecy III assessments on the
Classified Plan. You can readily
figure how long the remaining funds
In all probability will last us. From
January to October /, Of this year,
we collected In assessments on the
CLASSIFIED Plan total Of $73S,415.
The death losses among members Of
the Classified Plan in the same time
have amounted to $1,O36924, or
$29s,5 500 more than the assessments
collected"
He says that by changing policies
to the new plan the order can be
saved

Good Standing.

The grades issued 10 the pupils OF
the senior high school for the first six

the pupils In the school were making
grades Of 30 or above In each Of
three subjects. The junior class
leads In the highest grades. having 20
per cent Of its students on the honor
roll. The per cent indicates that 39T
pupils In the school, SO have received
grades Of 90 or better In three SUD-
jects during the last term.
OF 1880 grades which We're given
IN all high school subjects only 81

ports unsatisfactory work for one

WORKING BY FRIDAY

Indianapolis, Dec. 10.-The coal
miners strike is ended.
With only one dissenting vote, the
general committee of the United Mine
Workers of America, in session here

with regard to the agreement will be
sent out tomorrow morning
Operators tonight predicted full re-
sumption of operations Friday and
shipment of coal from the mines be-
ginning Monday morning.
Miners, operators and government
officials alike were highly gratifed
over the settlement tonight, and all
sides appeared confident of a final
satisfactory settlement Of the fight
by the commission.
The action today ends tie up of
the coal industry of more than five
weeks duration and which was more
far reaching in it's effect than. any
other in the history Of the country.
AS result Of the strike the country
was fast approaching shutdown Of
industry and widespread suffering
among its 100,OOO,000 inhabitants.
The decision of the miners came
after many hours of debate, III which
the radical element in the general
committee made incendiary speeches
against operators and others interest
ed in settlement of the strike, and for
time threatened to defeat efforts to
settle the strike at this time. The
conservation element, led by Acting
President John L. Lewis and Secretary
Treasurer William Green, gained con-
troll of the situation this morning and
succeeded in putting down practically
