FIGURES ABOUT COAL PROFITS
Bituminous coal profits in 1917
were Shocking and indefensible,
says William G. McAdoo, in a teia-
gram to DR.. Garfield urging that the
mine owners be not permitted to sad
die any higher prices for coal on the
public as result of the wage contro-
versy.
He says these profits ran "from i5
per cent to 1000 per cent"
Mr., McAdoo says he knows that this
is so because, as secretary of the
treasury, he examined the income tax
statements He did not see the 1918
tax statements because he left the
treasury before they came in, but he
does not indicate that they showed
any lower profit.
Mr.. McAdoo says he believes the
mineowners should pay wage in
crease and NOT PASS TT ALONG 70
THE PUBLIC.
It\is nice to have some5oy cmae
along like this and turn mystery
insideout. Out of shocking and in
1
defensible profits" ranging "from Is
per cent to 1000 per cent" surely the
mine owners ought to find the moder-
ate increase suggested by Secretary
Wilson-an increase in wages of some
81 per cent.
We are obliged to Mr.. McAdoo for
the facts he has given and we hope
the coal operators will understand
that Americans are growing more
averse every day to profteering.

BOILER EXPlODES
THREE PERSONS KILLED
nv II M Carter)
By +. M. Carter)

This community was shocked FIJI
day evening to hear of the death OF
three persons near Taft, by the ex-
plosion of the saw mill boiler, owned
by G. S Parmlee and Sons, which was
built about twenty years ago. The ex-
plosion occurred FRIDAY, November Il,
at PROP. M. The dead are; Mrs. G..
S. Parmlee, her son Francis Hoyt
Parmlee and Jesse G. Farrin. The In
iured are: A. Arlinger and his son, J..
Arlinger, slightly injured. When the
explosion came, G. S. Parmlee and ms
son were on the north side OF the
boiler lacing belt. The son was IN
stantly killed. The father being be-
hind some timbers, was not injured
except the shock. He went to MS
| wife and found her lying about SIX
feet from the fire box, fearfully mangl
| ed and bruised. She inquired about
her son, Hoyt, and she was told he was
dead. ShS then said, 4, too, Will die
In q few minutes. | am very warm,
and passed away.
Jesse Farrin was struck on the head
by a stick of timber and killed IN
stantly He was thrown by the con
cussion thirty feet. He WAS also badly
mangied. Mr.. A.. Arlinger was struck
ON the head by brick or stone, In
flicting serious scalp wound and
severe bruises on his arms and body
The son took eff the body Of his father
a heavy stick of timber that he could
not have lifted at all under other cir
cumstances.
Mrs. Parmlee was firing the engine
when the explosion occurred. She told
Mr.. Parmlee to turn on the injector
and when he did SO the explosion
came. Engineers say it was the colo
water coming in contact with the not
boiler that caused the explosion. The
mill had been condemed but it was a
case where an effort was made to saw
out a bill Of lumber, hoping nothing
would happen till it was finished. Mrs
Parmlee and her son was buried al
Taft Wednesday, and the remains ol
Jesse Ferrin were taken to Portland tt
be buried, accompanied by his wife
and a friend, Mrs. Barr.

Puss in Boots
Jr.
By David Cory.

N/OU remember in the last story
something was just going
to happen, bat 1 had no
more room, and so nad to
end my story. Well, this is what
happened As the aeronaut few
away in his aIrship, leaving .Puss
Junior and Simple Simon staring
up into the sky,
Little Miss Critic
Sat on her skiFty,
Eating ice cream and pie.
When a little gray mouse
Ian up. her pink, blouse.
And made her jump and cry,
and, of course. Puss ran to see what
was the matter. and then the little
gray mouse hoped down 20 the
ground and scampered of and Puss
went after him. Well, you should
have seen that race.
Around and around they went,
for they were still at the county
fair. you remember, where we left
Puss in the last story, the little
mouse squeaking away and Puss
Junior painting for breath, for he
had on his heavy top boots and he
couldn't run very fasc.
Well. just as the little mouse was
getting all tired out she dashed
into the tent where the fat woman
was. But. oh, dear me! how the fat
woman screamed. She was dread
fully afraid of mice. you know, and
she was so fat she couldn't run
away. and so she jus; screamed and
screamed. And by the time Puss
came into the tent she had almost
screamed her head on.
But just as soon as she saw Puss
she stopped, for she knew the
mouse would never stay in her
tent with 4 cat. But ;hc was
wrong, but wasn't IL lucky she
didn't know she was wrong, for
then She would have kept on
screaming maybe until l would
have TO stop her in the next story.
Now what the little mouse did
was to hide in an empty candy box
that was in the little table near the
fat lady. and so. Of course, nobody
could find him because nobody
thought Of eating candy just then,
most OF all the fat lady. for she
knew there wasn't any left.
I'm sorry. Madam said PusS
Junior, very pOulelNs aAtCR SSaA III
ing IN vain for the little gray
mouse. that you have been caused
so much annoyance" And then the
fat lady began to smile. for she was
awfully good-natured, you know
and then she picket Puss Junior
up and placed him on her lap and
stroked his fur.
You're a fine cat" she said. i
wish you would travel with me. l
think VIC could go into the movies
and make lots Of money. How
would you like to see yourself in
moving picture?"
IT never thought about it, re-
piled Puss, with a grin. But. any
way, Just now, must go to my
father, the famous Puss In Boots
for he has sent for me. Perhaps
some day I may be able to play
with you. I've never tried the
moving picture business

An Unreasonable Demand.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DI1<AN MAoS rAltkFAAs
am nineteen and have been
going about with a gentleman
one year my senior, since last
March. He has called on me
three times a week, and he tells
me that he loves me dearly. /
will call him "a"
Now. l have a woman friend,
b an old schoolmate OF mine,
whom "A" Is prejudiced against.
b" understands that "A" does
not care for her and when they
meet l feel very much hurt be-
cause they never agree. Last
week, when we met at a daoce,
a.. made some remark about
"B" and an argument followed.
Since then the former told me
that although he loves me dear
ly he will not call on me again
unless l break friendship with
''B."
Do you think ought to give
up 'B?' ! miss a" very much.
NJ T.
This young man has no righ
whatever to ask you to give u
a friend because OF his whim. And
TO throw aside an unoffendinE cir
friend at a mans dictation is ar
action am sure you will not b,
guilty OF.
