POLES REJECT ALL
PEACE OFFERS
Refuse 10 DO Anything Proposed
Except to DemObilize II
the Reds DemObilize

LONDON, Aug. 26-Poland's re-
ply to the peace terms presented by
the Russian Soviet delegation at
Minsk amounts to fiat rejection
says the Manchester Guardians Minsk
correspondent in wireless dispatch
filed IN that city.
"Out of the fifteen Russian de-
mands only one that is relative to
rehabilitation, is accepted and that
on condition that Russia will take a
similar course-that is to say. Rus
sia must demobilize at the same time
Poland disbands her forces.
"The terms relative to disarma-
ment, the closing of munitions plants
and the delivery of munitions to
Russia by Poland are Indignantly re-
jected.
"Bolshevik terms relative to Po-
lish workers militia and control by
the Russians of the railway line from
Bialstok southwark are declared be-
yond discussion. The boundary line
between Poland and Russia as laid
down by Earl Curzon, British Sec
retary Of state Of foreign affairs, is
declared unacceptable as it involves
a third portion of Poland.
Demands for distribution of land
to Polish victims of war and the re-.
turn of the cattle and horses driven
away by Polish land owners from
White Ru,heria and Lithunia are re-
jected as interfering with internal
affairs of Poland and violation of
Polish sovereignty.
"Other terms are rejected without
qualification and Poland demands a
line of demarcation between Polish
and Russian territory based on
strategetic considerations and the
idea Of buffer states"

THIS IS TODAY.

1t is to laugh. The printer goes
into the cigar store, lays down l5c
for &c cigar and smiles; he goes to
the boot shop and gives up fifteen
simoleons for pair of five buck
kicks and rejoices with the store man
over his prosperity; to the druggist
he hands dollar for bottle Of phys
ic that he formerly bought for 35c
and makes good by adding Soc to the
outlay as payment for 25c worth of
chocolates to make the physic nec-
essity; he pays the grocer and the
butcher two prices and registers ap.
probation; he gives the banker 8 per
cent for a per cent money and recog.
nizes that in unnatural times one must
expect unnatural charges; he pays
the garage man and the picture show
man, the drayman, and the railroad
their increased rates without kick,
but when any Of these intelligent and
progressive business men desire a
few letter-heads they are shocked
at the continual upward trend In the
prices OF printing. We might offer
these gentlemen u number Of valid
reasons for higher printing costs In
addition to the ones that they already
know to be legitimate, but do not
think It necessary to 20 into our bus
iness details to them any more than
We expect them to do this for us.
However we will say to them that
the day when the country printer
owed every one in the community and
was dependent upon their charity for
his support-the day when he walked
in fear Of his banker and approached
his grocer in confusion-is with all
Offices Of any consequence thing Of
the past.

requires nearly as much talent as 1t
takes to successfully manage soda

THE COAL GOUGE

Is the bottom about to drop out of
coal as it dropped few days ago
out Of 25c sugar? Are the con-
sumers to have at last relief from
the intolerable artificial prices at
which coal has been sold?
The pyramided prices of sugar
broke down Of their own weight ap-
parently. Are the prices of coal to
follow suit? With rs per cent of do
mestic coal bins still empty, accord
ing to estimates, and with schools,
industries and public services imper-
lied the question Of what is to be the
autumn price of coal is of great i'm
portance and of universal interest.
Figures Of the Federal Trade Com
mission purporting to show the pro-
duction cost Of various grades Of coal
and the prices realized by mines may
serve to bring to the surface some Of
the facts as to the great coal gouge
of 1890.
II the published figures are mac
curate as to prices for which coal has
been sold by mine operators, dealers
to avoid bearing blame for the diff
ference between mine prices and mar
ket prices, should come forward with
figures to show what they have been
forced to pay.
II the mine owners and operators
have produced coal upon margins be-
tween 6 cents per ton and SIPS and
If prices have been expanded from
300 to 500 per cent between the mines
and the open market, the public would
be glad to discover who has received
the larger proportions Of the profits.
II the Federal Trade Commissions
figures should constitute the Open
Sesame, or the opening wedge, to the
mystery of the great coal graft, mil
lions Of consumers would be greatly
obliged to the Federal Trade Commits
sion for its efforts.
The figures do prove one thing and
that is that the cost of coal produc-
ton is not sufficient to warrant the
market prices for the various grades
Of coal.
Assuming the accuracy Of the
Washington reports, fifty-seven Ken
lucky operators admit that the cost
Of production has averaged $2.73 per
ton. That being true there is no
valid excuse for coal selling at retail
at anything like the prices which have
been demanded.
That the public has been victimized
by ruthless gouge is plain. Whether
producers or dealers have done the
larger part Of the gouging is at pres
ent the open question.-Courier Jour-
nal.

HIGHER FARES MAKE BUYING
AT HOME ATTRACTIVE

The increased fares on the rail.
roads may be Of some good to our
community anyhow.
1t will be the cause Of many folks
spending more money with the home
merchants instead Of going to the
cities TO do il.
Most every want can be filled by
home folks anyhow.
Read the ads in the Press and then
go in the advertisers store and no
doubt youll be treated jus, as well

The fact that we dare write and
publish these truths is proof positive
that in some Offices at least fear and

that knowledge of actual value which

tual independence.
1t is to laugh.-Clay County Sun.
