Agatha helped him gather some dry

The old trouble in the coal fields
has returned. The strike is ended.
the miners have returned. but opera
tors are held up by lack of cars. Dis
turbing reports come from Ohio coal
fields. With the exception of one dis
trict operators claim that virtually all
miners are back on the job. but that
production is only from 40 to 60 per
cent of normal because of the short
age of cars. During the last week re-
ports have come from vaFious indus
trial centers showing that plants were
closed or only in partial operation, be-
cause they had been unable to replen-
ish their supplies, which had been
nearly exhausted during the strike.
Lack OF cars has been the source of
much of the disturbances in the coal
mining industry for long time.

CHAPTER SO.
I did not really believe Mary Ryan

a tiny flat of her own, and keeping
house for herself. 1t seemed so ri
diculous as to be almost silly. She

THE DIGGER.

There is no inspiration in droll in
activity. To the alert alone does the
thrill of contest come.
The digger is the happy mani
He gets a lame back. his muscles
get pulled and tired. his eyes ache
from the strain--but he likes the job.
For he is always in an expectant
mood-knowing that any moment
something is going to be revealed that
will compensate for all. And what is
SO compromising as worl<-itself?
Carlyle once said that the hero is
the great man. But who ever heard
of hero who didn't have to dig long
and hard?
The digger is rarely a hoarder. He
likes the game toe intensely not to
keep giving the world the benefit of
his findings. Watch him as he delves
into the rock with his pick; as he
burns his eyes into his fayorite books.
seeking for the truths that others have
found: or as he works long hours at
his chemicals, hoping to lessen the
pain of the world.
If there is ever to be placed high
value on him who tolls, whether with
brain or Drawn. let the digger be given
his great due!
And what diggers mothers are.
Veritable heroines as they train and
teach and toll, just credit coming to
them all too little and late.
If you would have a taste of the
cherished things Of the earth. you
must learn the art of digging--and
you must dig both early and late. 1

Probably the railroads would make
q better showing in the matter of
earnings il they had rolling stock suf-
ficient to handle the traffic that is Of
fered. Unless they shall be able to
obtain cars and locomotives in neces-
sary numbers under management Of
their owners they may not be able to
do much better than the government
has done. A maximum return of S
per cent on the property value of the
railroads is not likely to furnish the
resources or attract the credit neces-
sary to rebuild and re-equip them or
provide the extensions and new con-
struction made necessary by the in
creased traffic demands of the coun-
try during the last four or five years.
The return might be sufficient IL the
railroads were all in serviceable con-
dition and il the country had not out
grown its old transportation facilities.
The question to be decided Is whether
the rate allotment authorized by con-
gress will be sufficient to attract cap
ital for the program of expansion
which is demanded by present needs.
