An additional bunch of men was re-
Gently received at the convict road
camp up the canon, thus increasing the
number to SO men, which Commissioner
Grace says is quite enough for this
sort Of weather, a. the work cannot be
done to good advantage until the wea-

about the camp is being put in CON

the work to 60 on to the best advan-

DR.. GARFIELD HAS
JUMPED HIS JOB
Fuel Administrator Believes
Terms of Strike Settlement
Are Unfair to the Public
MATTER OF PRINCIPLE

Washington, Dec. 11.-Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield's g resignation was to.
night in tho hands of President Will
son, because he disagrees in prin-
ciple with the coal strike settlement
proposal arranged by the government
and the Mine Workers union.
DR.. Garfield himself refused tonight
to confirm, deny or discuss the report,
but at the White House it was said
that personal letter from him had
ooen transmitted to the president, late
this afternoon.
Men close to the fuel administrator
understand that he believes that the
work of the commission authorized un.
der the settlement, to be made up of
one coal mine operator, coal miner,
and third person named to repre-
sent the public, will result in an In.
crease in the price of coal to the con-
suming public. Against this form Of
settlement, DR.. Garfield has been un-
alterably opposed. 1t has been learned
on good authority that he took no
part in the negotiations with the Mine
Workers union chiefs during the last
week and that tho informed and con.
suited after their initiation, the terms
laid out as finally accepted contravene
his conception of the main principle
involved.
1t was recalled in connection with
the resignation, that in suggesting a
IA per cent wage increase as fair for
miners and possibly to be paid from
present profits of mine owners, Dr.
Garfield suggested commission repre-.
sentative Of the industry to review the
findings but expressed the conviction
that such body should not have pow.
er to fix prices. His belief is said to
be that with this power granted, a
combination of the employer and EN-.
ploye in the industry to mulch the
public by price raises is certain to re-.
suit.
Whether the president will accept the
resignation is not known. Members Of
the cabinet, however, are known to be
supporting the settlement program a.
put thru by Attorney General P.smer
President Wilson today sent a mes
sage of congratulation to Acting Presi
dent John L. Lewis of the mine work
ers at the acGon taken at Indian
apolis.
Coal mine operators authorized t.
represent practically the entire indus
try, were still in Washington awaitin,
an official notification of the settle
ment basis. There was considerable
doubt individually and difference OF
opinion, but no meetings were held te
formulate definite decisions Of policy
and none would be, it was said, unit
government call came. All were inter
ested in hearing from home as to the
action Of the miners' locals upon thu
union order calling off the strike but
received little information.
Only one minor change in coal saw
ng orders came today from the rail
road administration, allowing retail
stores to remain open nine instead Of
six hours on Saturdays. The six houl
schedule will be maintained on othel
days. Well informed officials hold thu
opinion that many Of the restriction!
now ordered will have to remain effce
tive until about January 20, ever
should the miners 60 back at once IL
a body.

auR SOLDIER BOYS ARE HOME

Last Saturday night Captain Hall
and the members Of company L., Colo
rado National guards returned from q
months sojourn to southern Colorado
whence they had been called by Gov
ernor shoup to guarantee orderly con-
duct and to give protection, if need
be, to persons and property in that
coal mining district, and especially to
protect from assault and insult NIL
miners who wanted to work.
The boys say they found a very rough
element in the different camps they
visited, but fortunately this element
comprised but very small percentage
Of the coal miners. Over ninety per
cent Of the miners voted against q
strike, and yet they went out, or were
forced out through fear or because Of
threats on the part Of the rough ele-
ment, comprising not over tan per
cent.
However, the men, IN SONS Of tho
camps, gradually drifted back to work
as they saw that the governor and the
national guard meant business and that
they would be protected from the Boil
sheviki bullies whose business it was
to foment trouble.
The boys were all more than glad
to come home but they all express
themselves as ready to 60 again should
the state need their services. Theio are
no slackers among the Glenwood toys
but all are ready to respond to the
call Of the state ON short notice, but
all are hoping that the necessity for
their services may not again arise.

DO NOT LET ENGINE MISS FIRE

That the habit of letting either
tractor or automobile engines run
when one or more cylinders fail to
fire or "miss" is disastrous to the
welfare of the machine is the warn
ing of J. p. Fairbanks, head of the
department of agriculture engineering
here. He says:
"With one cylinder missing, the en-
CINE is out of running balance, and
the entire machine is subjected to ex-
cessive vibration, which leads to
breakage-broken crankshafts, occa-
sionally, which are exceedingly costly
a further danger is the effect on the
lubricating oil. The cylinder which
fails to fire is pumping in gas, part of
which condenses, runs down between
the piston rings and the cylinder wall
and enters the crank case. This con-
densed gasoline, or kerosene, which is
worse, dilutes the oil in the crank
case. This diluted oil is unfit for lu-
bricating the bearings. If allowed to
continue the bearings may be ruined
from lack of fabrication, even tho
the liquid in the crank case is at the
correct oil level. If the oil level in the
crank case raises as the engine is
used, tho no fresh oil is put in, look
for condensed fuel getting past the
pistons. This may not be due to a
missing cylinder, but may be caused
by excessive printing or choking when
starting the engine, or from improper
vaporization of the fuel in the carbu-
refer and intake manifold Naturally,
this latter condition is more prevalent
where the heavier fuels, such as kero-
sene, are used.
"To avoid dilution of the crank
case oil, do not let the engine "miss,"
and prime or choke very little. If
kerosene is used run the engine on
gasoline until it is hot before chang
ing over to kerosene"

To get back to the old swamp land

And pillow corn in the heat of the
cay
And cook big dinners in a fly
filled house
For dozen husky farm hands
Getting up at four in the morning
Sos she'd be sure to get a good
start
On the day,
And then be rewarded by a new
calico dress
In the fall
AS her share of the profits
If the crops turned out well
Which they almost never did.

FOCH DEMANDS A
RHINE FRONTIER
Veteran Commander Praises Amer1-
can Troops for Their Share
in the Victory

TreveS, Wednesday, Jan. 15.-It is
the conviction Of Marshal Foch that
the Rhine must be made the barrier
between Germany and France. He
expressed this clearly today. Ameri-
can newspaper correspondents said
Foch pointed out that peace must be
commensurate with the price of vic
tory. Germany was beaten, he said,
but recuperation in a short time is
quite possible, andit is the duty of
the Allies to prevent further aggres-
sions.
Foch praised the work of the Am
erican troops, admitting that the
Argonne- Meuse front, where the Am
ericans began their offensive on Sept.
26th, was a "sector hard to table"
The American attack succeeded, the
marshal continued, land here we are
on the Rhine" The Allies got all they
asked for from Germany in the armis-
tice without continuing fighting, al
though the Allies were prepared for
another offensive stroke in the Lor-
raine sector, with six American and
twenty French divisions, which would
have compelled the Germans to sur
render, the magshal said.

Paris, Friday. Jan. 1.-THE agree
ment for a renewal of the armistice
signed yesterday extends the armis-
tice for one month and the extension
will be renewed thereafter until the
conclusion of peace, subject to ap-
proval by the allied governments.
The principal terms of the armis-
tice are substantially as previously
reported. In addition, the document
contains a clause whereby the Allies
reserve the right to occupy certain
forts across the Rhine from Strass-
bourg. Other causes provide that
the Germans shall turn over large
quantities of Industrial and agricul-
tural implements in p ace of supple
mentary railroad material and give
control of Russian prisoners in Ger
many to the Allies for repatriation.
It is also provided that the Germans
must turn over all submarines, SUBJ
marine chasers. mine layers, mine
sweepers, salvage ships and floating
submarine docks and stop building
submarines and dismantle or destroy
I-those partly built.
