He Never Stays to Sunday School.
To the Wi1lmar Tribune:

To the Willmar Tribune:
He is a church member. Do YOU
know him? He has some business to
attend to on Sunday and needs the rest
of the time for rest and relaxation.
He does not like Sunday School. Still
he has time to go to preaching services,
though I do not know why, for more
can be learned of the Bible in the Sun
day School. The former has little of
the word of God and much of the pas
tors opinions along the line of an es-
tablished creed. The latter leads one
to investigate and think for himself.
Where the ordinary sermon has saved
it's thousands, the S. S. and the prayer
meeting have saved their ten thou
sands.
This man is not a bad citizen. He
is courteous and friendly, and honest
with his fellow-men in the commercial
relations of life; but spiritually he is
or himself. He owes to God all the
service of his being, but he does not
give it. He says he loves the Bible
but he does not love to meet with
with others and study it's teaching Null
titudes of business and professional
men all over our land like John Wanna
maker, find rest, relaxation and a
ed and scholarly lifelong Christians
are finding something new. inspiring,
edifying in the Bible continually. But
this man does not. He could much bet
ter afford to let some of his week day
business go undone than to miss this
most important privilege and duty But
he does not like it. I am afraid he is
not Christian. The essence of Chris
tianity, the fruit of the Spirit is Love-
Love seeketh not her own" Love
seeks to serve it's object, not itself. We
can best serve our fellow-men by help
ing him to understand and believe the
Bible. He who has not for the great
motive of his life the Glory Of God
and the salvation of souls has lived to
no purpose and is dead failure how
ever great his business activities or
his wealth, and at the last shall be a
pauper and a fool.
Bunyan, in his Pilgrims Progress,
says that Christian in the Valley of the
Shadow OF Death had two weapons, the
Sword of the Spirit and All-prayer,

The Sword of the Spirits which is the
word of Cod" and pray always with
all prayer and supplication." The Bible
is the aggressive weapon of Christian

CHANCES Of FINAL
COAL SETTLEMENT
SEEM EXCELLENT
Government Officials 0ptimiS-
tic That Former Causes Of
Unrest Will Be Eliminated
Once and for All.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE,
Especial Correspondent Of The News
SrIn1IfaFN

WASHlNGT0N, Nov. i3.-Chances OF
u settlement of the issues between coal
operators and miners once and for all
are excellent. Government officials are
more hopeful-they are optimistic.
+, NOW that the controversy over the
injunction proceedings is at an end the
government feels free to turn its whole
attention to merits OF grievances and
claims of each side. The general public
unfortunately, may lose interest simply
because the strike has been called off,
put the tasks Of mediation here are
only beginning now
Yet the meeting Friday establishes a
Dig precedent which goes to the heart
OF the difficulties between miners and
operators. Heretofore mine owners in
liiinots, Indiana, Ohio and Western
Pennsylvania--or what is known In coal
pariance as the @central competitive
neid negotiated separate
agreement with their employees and all
tine other coal miners in other states
nave been required to accept the set
tlement in the central competitive field
as a basis for adjustment This has re-
suited In all sorts of inequities and
While the miners In the central district
were ready and willing that all wage
scales should be settled at a national
convention at which all operators and
miners were represented, the owners
IN the aforesaid central district felt
that such an arrangement might be
disadyantageous. Their argument was
that because Of inferior coal In the
central district bringing q lower mar
ket price they might be Disseminated
against by higher wages II the whole
question were handled In single con-
vention.
But the department of labor has asked
all parties to come here. And while the
secretary Of labor unquestionahly will

.KYSER SAYS SUGAR
MAY co LOWER
Orders Placed Since Prices
Fixed May Cause Slight
Reduction.

A careful checking of the sale Of sugar
IN Memphis at prices around 25 cents
per pound have been found to be due
to the fact that orders for the sugar
were placed prior to the fixing of Is
cents as a maximum for granulated
sugar by the government Future ship
ments Of sugar bought at the price
liked by the government should cause
retail prices to be reduced a few cents
on the. pound. This is an opinion ex-
pressed by VIM. d. Kyser, United
states district attorney, following a
careful investigation by agents of the
department of justice into the sugar
situation.
Sugar is not plentiful in Memphis
now, but Indications are that II will be
within very short while, but the price
is going to be at least double the price
paid prior to the recent sugar shortage,
A number of Memphis dealers have
placed contracts for sugar at prices
above that fixed by the government
In at least one instance the dealer was
advised TO cancel his contracts for
sugar at Il and 221s cents per pound.
Borrow British Sugar.
Retail prices OF sugar in other sec
tions OF the country ranging from 10
to Is cents per pound is causing deal
southwest to protest vigorously against
what they deem discrimination. The
further fact that there is stored in New
Orleans. so, 000, 600 pounds of granulated
sugar fsr the British government, while
the people Of the United States were
begging for sugar has tended to arouse
public sentiment
In some instances public officials
have taken the matter In hand with o
view of relieving the situation In their
own immediate localities, at least. One
New Orleans firm is reported to have
borrowed large quantity of the British
sugar and to have shipped 1t to their
customers. The sugar thus borrowed
Is to be replaced later.
Local wholesalers express the, belief
that Memphis will be amply supplied
with all the sugar 1t needs In a short
while, but the present Indications are
that the price will remain very close to
rs cents per pound.
Representatives of the government
stationed in Memphis are keeping them
selves informed as thoroughly as pos
sble on the subject and viii exert their
utmost efforts to keep dowR~ excessive
profits, but whether or not drastic
steps are to be taken to enforce the
governments regulations has not been
Indicated

EXPECT MORE WORKERS
WILL RETURN TO JOBS

CHICAGO Nov 13.--Bituminous coal
miners today were expected to return
to work in increasing numbers IN many
Of the country's lesser fields, but what
they would do In the great Pennsyl-
yania and Illinois areas and the Indi-
ana and Kansas mines remained uncer-
tain The workers generally showed a
disposition to await formal notification
by their immediate union officers OF the
strike recall message sent out by John
l.. Lewis, acting president Of the mine
workers.
While the recall order had been re-
ceived In Illinois, Frank Harrington,
district president, said he did not be-
lieve the men would return to work
Alexander Howat president of the Kan
sas miners, numbering approximately
10000, also was quoted as saying he
looked for no general resumption Of
production in that field for the present
In Indiana It was indicated mining on
an extensive scale would not be re-
sumed before next week at the earliest
In the two Pennsylvania districts op-
posite outlooks prevailed, In district
No. 2, President John Brophy said he
expected a return to work by the miners
as soon as the local union officials could
explain the situation. In district No. 5,
il was said the president remained at
indianapolis and had sent no order to
his subordinates to return to WORK and
II was not known when that would be
done,
From West Virginia, Arkansas, Mis-
souri, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mex
leo and Utah came aptimistic reports
In the. majority OF the mines In those
states n was believed normal production
would be reached by Monday.
In dissrict 21,, Arkansas, Missouri and
Oklahoma, II was said that while the
men probably would return to work to-
day, a new wage scale must be fixed
before the men would be entirely sat-
isfied

karmers' trucks or wagons will be all

pose OF offering vegetables and other
farm products for sale direct to the
consumers. A nominal charge will be
made, only sufficient to provide for
cleaning the litter from the, streets
and for such supervision as may be
necessary. The ordinance probably will
re presented on first reading next
y Tuesday.
No provision for additional markets
are made In the ordinance, but II next

q n xf all ENat = sA4 4
markets are decided upon, they can
be provided for by amendments to the
+ Proposed ordinance,
Mayor-eiect Paine in several cam
paign speeches said that he favored
the establishment of number of such
tsee pen-air markets and he will
probably make such recommendations
to the new commission early In the
year. The curb or> farmers market
would be under tho control Of the de-
8partinent of public utilities, grounds
and buildings, of which Horace johnson
VIII be the new commissioner.
Efforts have, been made. at various
nfnes during tue. past eight years to
secure the establishment OF such free
markets In order to permit the con-
anlner and producer to get together and
elshAinate the high cost Of distribution,
which forms probably two thirds OF the
caat OF many articles of food. In every
3city where such free curb markets have
been established it has been shown
that fthe people can save much money
Hin the purchase of farm and garden
&products, while the producers are en-
*Hbled TO find market for thousands OF
dollars worth of produce which other
*wise they could not sell.
The city administration will be urged
to pass the ordinance at once, so that
7the free market may be opened for the
holiday trade.
