THE MAN IN THE UPPER

There was day when took a jour
ney, and | rode in car Of juggernaut,
even sleeping car And had
bought No railway ticket and my Pull
man ticket and paid the war tax And
| had lower berth and was content
And there came into car passen-
ger who had ticket for an upper
berth. And he was wroth. And he
Ispake much concerning it, so that all
that were in the car heard what he
said. And he spake saying:
| I'D like to know what kind Of a
one-horse road this is that can't put
on cars enough to give its patrons
decent service. For / have never
lsIept before in IN upper berth, and 1
like it not
Now, the man who hath Fever slept
in an upper berth hath not slept many
times in a lower nerth. And looked
at the passenger, and suspected that
lit was from motives OF economy he
had taken the upper berth, and that
i he had bought lower berth he
would have gone without breakfast.
Wherefore let him talk till he had
told all who were in the car how sad
he was at having to sleep in an up
per berth. And said to him:
Il have a ticket for lower berth,
and it cost me one dollar more than
an upper berth, and the war tax is
another dime. will exchange berths
with thee, and thou mayest give to
me a dollar and ten cents
And he began with shame to side
step my offer. And he said:
Il could not think of accepting a
favor at the expense of thy comfort.
And I said: 81 shall be comfortable
in the upper berth, and the more so
for the comfort thou art to have in the
lower one
And I called to the Ethiopian who
accompanied the chariot, and / said
Move my things to upper seven, and
give this man lower six: and come
thou with thy fire escape, and | viii
go up
But the passenger began to sweat,
so that coldS drops stood on his fore
head, and he said, II thank thee Just
as much, but ] am running a little
short on my expense account; and il
it is all the same to thee will go up
stairs and save my dollar ten..''
And l said, Peace go with thee
And the other passengers began to
Singer.
And he went up very soon, and was
glad to go.
And one Of the other passengers
came to me, and he laughed and said
Thou didst sure get his number.

tie at home is the man who kicketh
when he goeth abroad. And he who
complainant loudly at the small dis.

To have the superfluous hairs come

This method is not to be compared

OH, BOY, FOR
A COOL CAMP
THE Thoughts of Vacations to Come
Next Month Is Only Stimulant
to Keep Hot Folks
Going.

Just when Teller begins to think
he never needed a friend so badly
before in his life, when he's tired OF
livin' and too hot to inhale the nee
essary amount of oxygen to do so
and he'd be glad to cash in his checks
and write the funeral announcement
amt it grand and glorious feelin
to think of that two weeks vacation
you're going to take next month at
some far-off cool spot, away from
civilizations cares and worries?
Maybe it won't be cool and maybe
it won't be away from civilization
but you think now it's going to be
because that was the way it was ad
vertised in the tourists magazine
and you're taking their word for it
and it's a happy thought right now
when it's so hot that even a glass OF
twO-seventy-five, ice cold, wouldn't
make you smile.
And it's surprising how many Keo'
kuk people are spending their vaca-
lions on camping expeditions either
away some place in rather primitive
style or in modern, luxurious man
ner near summer resort where they
can enjoy pleasures not provided for
in a camp way back in the woods
some place.
But whether it's tent way back
in some forgotten spot in the wild
woods or whether it's a cottage on
some lake front, they all sound good
right now, and the thought of them
is the one thing which keeps a Teller
going when he'd like to stop.

OF GASOLINE
Bio Refiners See Chance Of It Going
to Forty Cents Per Gallon Unless
-si Action is
SIZE Taken.
[By Ralph T. Couch, United Press
Staff Correspondent

[By Ralph r Couch, United Press
| Staff Correspondent
! WASHINGTON, July 23.-A gaso-
line rationing, system to be applied
Throughout the entire United States
lis being considered by big refners.
The rationing system is designed by
| the refiners as last resort to cur
| tail consumption and keep the price
from being forced to more than forty
| cents a gallon, government officials
here have been informed by the rep
Iresentatiyes of the refiners.
Vice President. T. A. Dimes, of the
Midwest Refining company, is one rep
resentative of the big refiners now
here who has discussed the rationing
system with government officials.
Another is C. c. Sheffield, of the
Standard OIL company, of New Jersey.
Before adopting the rationing sys-
tenn, refiners plan to issue a nation
wide appeal to the country to cut
down joy riding.
AS devised by the refners the ra-
tioning plan would be voluntary one
by dealers in which the government
would have no hand. 1t would mean
that gasoline would be doled out to
dealers under a fixed quota for each
state or locality.
California now is on gasoline ra-
tons.
Gas now is selling from 81 to 80
cents a gallon. 1t is highest in New
Mexico and northern New York.
Consumption is reported as 10000
600 gallons day. Production is g.
600 900 less, or 100000, gallons a
day. Reserve stocks therefore are
being drawn on at the rate of about
sixty million gallons month, accord
ing to producers figures.
May 80, reserve stocks totalled $751;
100000 gallons, according to the bur-
eau of mines. April so, the total was
643,552,000 gallons, reserve which
was built up during the winter and
constituted one of the largest in his
tory.
Refners say it is impossible to in
crease production. They say oil is
being produced faster than ever be-
FORE In June, for instance, 110S7
oil wells were being drilled.

IOWA COAL OUTPUT
is UP 80 Per CENT
Railroads contract for Half OF the
State Production, According to
Figures Available
Now.
SUPPLY Low IN STATE
Iowa Keeps Pace With Production so
That It Will be Necessary to
Import Coal to Garry
Through.

Coal production in Iowa is ayerag
ing so percent more now than it did
at this time year ago, according 10
George Ia Heaps, secretary of the
Iowa Coal Operators association
Fuel is being mined in this state at
a rate of between 100000 and g.,
100000 tons annually, whereas the
1919 production amounted to only
100000 tons.
The present output is considerably
larger than the average, while last
YEARS was smaller, owing to lack
Iof demand Following the signing of
the armistice.
While little trouble has been ex-
lperienced as yet in securing cars TO
handle the coal, according to Mr..
Heaps, there are fewer gondolas here
lin proportion to the tonnage mined
than in any other state, in the union.
Mr.. Heaps gives credit to the effl-
Icient use of the cars here for the
fact that shortage has not as yet
been felt.
Railroads Get As Per Cent.
The average haul in Iowa is only
seventy miles, while the average haul
in Illinois is 300 miles, and in the
eastern states it amounts to about 500
miles. In addition, there are no en-
bargoes in this state, SO that the
fuel, according to Mr.. Heaps, can be
unloaded without delay and can reach
its destination on quick schedule
Figures compiled by the association
show that car in Iowa does as much
work on an average as fifteen of them
would do elsewhere.
The production in the state, accord
ing to Mr.. Heaps is almost exactly
the same as the consumption, but,
as the railroads have contracted for
As percent Of our coal, there will be
only trif1e more than half enough
Iowa coal to care for the needs of
the state. However, we are getting
some fuel from Illinois and some from
the west at present.

Operators Return From East.

! If there is severe winter, Mr..
Heaps believes there is sure to be a
| fuel, but he does not believe condi-
winter.
The Iowans attending the meeting
in Washington between operators and
railroad executives returned to Des
Moines yesterday. Most of the dis
Icussion was in regard to getting coal
Ito the northwest and to New England
and Iowa's situation was not men,
toned. :
The operators promised to main
tain production at full speed and the
railroad officials promised to do all in
their power to secure cars. No for
