Whether the fuel conservation pro-

discovered At least there were no

on Tuesday the day after the order
was issued through the press
Perhaps the inhabitants of Clover
port are more fortunate in having fuel
supplies than in most places as they
may resort to either coal, gas or wood.
With several small mines near here,
the majority of people have their coal
bins filled during the summer months
and hence know very little about ex-
periencing a coal shortage.

Company should have coal famine
il would be hazardous times then in
deed, but SO far the company has been
supplied with coal from the country
mines asd the railroad too. At pre-
sent il has weeks supply ahead, and
every effort is being made TO keep
enough coal on hand SO that the plant
will not have to shut down at any
time.
So far as il can be learned there is
no one suffering for coal or likely too
very soon.

readily when they refuse other feed.

PRINTERS STRIKE IN
NEW YORK FAILS
OF ITS OBJECT

The Printers League notified the
executive council of the international
Typographical Union last week of its
willingness to resume negotiations
with the local union. A conference will
take place probably next Tuesday at
which the details for final adjustment
of the wage scale will be arranged.
1t will be month or more before
the printing industry here returns to
normal. Although the strike failed OF
its object it was one of the most SER
ious that ever disrupted the printing
trade
An official of the Printers League
figured that 10000 workers earning
from $40 to $40 a week sacrificed APP
proximately S3,5OO,OOO 1t is more
difficult to estimate what the strike
cost shop owners, but one plant alone
places its losses at 100000. More
than ESQ shops were tied up.
Magazine publishers who sent their
work out of town had to pay high for
it. 1t was reported that $4,000 was
paid for getting out one issue of a
periodical that ordinarily cost $1,000.
The general opinion among employ
ing printers, however, is that the vic
tory was worth the price. 1t was
more than a question of wages and
hours; the stability of labor was at
stake, conservatives contend Had the
radical element won many publishers
intended going out of business they
said.-New York Sun.

Irvington Serving The Cold
Springs Baptist Church

Russellville, KY, Dec. l. (SpeciaD-
The Rev. A. c. Chism, who has been
attending school at Bethel College,
Russellville,, for the past few months,
is happily engaged as pastor of the
Cold Springs Baptist church, near
Brandenburg. Altho he has a long
road to travel to get to his church, yet
the people whom he serves stand be-
hind him and encourage. him in every
way. y
The writer has known Rev. Chism
from boyhood. He is the bright and
happy son of Mr.. and Mrs. Irwin
Chism, who reside near Irvington.
Rev Chism has been attending
Bethel College for the past two years
and is equally capable of holding a
pastorate in most any church. 1t was
our privilege to be in Russellville, last
week and call on this young man and
finding him to be highly appreciated
by his many college mates. He speaks
highly of Bethel. Says there is no
other for him and he intends to finish
his course there soon. He is boy of
whom Breckenridge county may be
proud of.
Rev Chism is doing a good deal of
supply work around Russelville, and
considering call near Bowling Green.
Since he has been pastor of the Cold
Spring church in August, he has had
three converts and additions other
wise. He is aiding much in the IS
million campaign. He filled the pull
pit of his church with glorious mes
sage Sunday, and the church members
should count themselves highly hon
ored in having such splendid young
man of God for their pastor.
May Gods richest blessings be up
on him, are the words of the writer.

Teach Children To Love
Plants And Animals.
BY DIR. ]. H. Francis.

Every child should have something
upon which to lavish his affections;
otherwise they will weaken, for affec-
tons. like other traits, must live and
grow by exercise. Notice the little
girl with her doll or the boy with his
hobby horse. While inanimate OBJ
jects represent life and hence hold
the attention of children, living things
are far more interesting tc them and
offer greater possibilities for teaching
sane and wholesome lessons. A GER
tain small boy who had several pet
hens, gladly brought their little chick
ems into the house and cared for them
by the open fire during an untimely
spring snowstorm. Another small
boy habitually spent his Saturday
mornings caring for his guinea pigs,
while his brothers and friends were
playing, With the toy the child ex-
presses what he already knows and is;
but with the living thing he discovers
himself and the life about him.
The ignorance of children, and a
dults too, of the simplest, most ordin-
airy facts of nature about them, is un-
necessary and deplorable. We have
been taught to memorize facts from
books rather than to discover and APP
preciate them.
Give to the child some living thing
that is his own to know, to love, and
to care for. Some will find greatest
delight in animals, such as ponies, pigs.
dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, fish, etc.
Plant life, however, will interest many
children more than we suspect, if they
are allowed to plant and cultivate
their own gardens. The lessons to be
learned from either plant or animal
life are so varied and important that
every parent should take advantage
of the opportunity and give to each
child some living thing to care for,
study, and love.
