FUEL SHORTAGE AND
 CREDIT STR|NGENCY
 AFFECT COAST SALES

Distributors in San, Francisco are pessimistic regarding trade conditions and prospects for the next few months business, although optimistic talk still prevails. The financial situation is just beginning to make itself felt.
 Distributors are slow to admit pres ent conditions as serious, although most managers agree that retail sales dropped about 50 per cent and that the wholesale market is in even worse con- dition.
 Next month will probably find mar ket here worse, for in addition to credit stringency. which is tying hands of country dealers and city car and truck distributors alike, California is facing serious gasoline shortage, which is also having a damaging effect on sales
 One large distributor. whose reputa- tio for keeness and business sagacity Is nationwide, said yesterday: We must expect this. The country has been on big spending spree and is now having a poverty headache. The banks holding up on credit are not only tying dealers hands but also killing what market there was for cars.

 Truck men are feeling the situation and are most anxious to secure more favorable credit extension, because of necessity of truck to move crops. Even those concerns that are in the market for trucks. however. are hesitating be- cause of the situation. One truck dis tributor yesterday, sold two trucks to large concern operating a fleet The purchasing agent informed the sales man they had just sent out general order to all northern California branches to retain wagons and not dis pose of them as the gasoline situation might make their use necessary any day.

Why Indian 10 Honored.

On a hillock overlooking the town of Robbinsvllle. the county seat of Graham, one of the southwestern coun- ties of North Carolina, is to be erect ed memorial to the Cherokee Indian warrior Junaluska, 'I tried, but failed" Junaluska was always re- ferrred to by the early white settlers as the friendly Indian" He was born in the mountains of Cherokee county, North Carolina, in 1758. At the battle of Horse Shoe Bend, Gen. Andrew Jackson with his white troops had the Creek Indians hemmed in at the bend of the river Junaluska, who had pre- viously attached himself to Jackson's s forces, intuitively grasped the sltua- ton and swan the river and cut loose the Creeks canoes. Being un- able to escape in their boats, the hos tile Indians were surrounded by Jack sons men and decisively beaten. In recognition of Junaluska's exploit and signal assistance to the white men, the movement to place this memorial on the Graham county hillside has been undertaken.

Why She Was Not Thankful,

Father had got for himself dose T iron, quinine and strychnine, He had poured 1t into half glass of water and had gone after something to take the taste out of his mouth when he swallowed the medicine. While he was gone little seven-year- old June came into the kitchen after a drink of water. Of course she saw fathers glass of medicine and think ing 1t was water took a good swallow.
 Father came back into the room just as she was splitting and trying to get that bitter taste away. Was that your medicine" she asked him.
 He nodded his head and then es- saved a joke. "But you're welcome" |" he said.
 "No, I am not" she retorted. q couldn't be, cause I'm not even thank full"

Why He Believes In Spirits.

The president of Temple university, Rev. Dr. Russell H. Conwell, of Phila- delphia, believes we "are upon the borderland of great discoveries" Dr. Conwell has caused countrywide in- terest through his statement that he has held verbal communication with the spirit of his wife. Dr. Oonwell believes that we are surrounded by an invisible world of spirits which are cognizant of our acts and thoughts and can under certain con- ditions communicate with us.
 He withheld his disclosure for years because the whole question has been 50 beclouded and surrounded with fraud and deception. He says that spiritualism, so called, has been made the tool of conscienceless mediums, fakirs and charlatans who have ex- plotted themselves to such an extent that it has discouraged serious scien- tiflc investigation and called into question the most convincing testi. mony.
 He finds references Tn the Bible which seem to bear out his belief in spiritual care and help from those who have died.

CANNOT LAWFULLY
 ,>. DIMINISH SALARY

The. supreme court of the United States has decided that the income tax does not apply to federal judges, be- cause the basic law states that the salary of a federal judge cannot be increased or diminished during his term of office. How nice that must be. A federal judge who incurs a debt cannot be successfully sued be- cause the payment of claim of debt would diminish his salary, which would be an unlawful act. A federal judge is not obligated to pay income tax until he gets his dough for ser vice, and then it is his to do with whatever he pleases and cannot really come under the purview of the law. The salary law simply goes to the matter of tinkering with the salary law by which law making bodies could reward or punish officers during their terms of office and has nothing what ever to do with the matter of income payments.

LAWN FESTIVAL
 A BIG SUCCESS

The lawn festival given last Satur- day on Wagner's lawn was big suc- cess both from the standpoint of mon- ey raised for the baseball club and the general good time of those attending. The Wagners have one of the best lawns in the city and with tables and chairs for the crowd and lights strung throughout it was very pleas ant. There was $223 net cleared for the club which is handsome amount. Music was furnished during the even- ing by Tommy Hayes and Armstrong while later Ted Carter, Ora Grunin- ger and Joe Rosenberg sang.
 Mrs. Wagner and Mrs. Patterson deserve much credit for the way they handled the affair.

MINER TO FURNISH BULLETINS SERVICE
 FROM CONVENTION

Fort the first time in the history of political parties in the United States a national political party is to hold its convention on the Pacific coast. Next Monday the democratic national con- vention is to convene in the city of San Francisco and nominate a man who will in every way be qualified to fill the presidential chair of the na- tion. Politically every man believes that the nation is to be saved only through thes upremacy of his party, but We poor mortals know full well that few men who have been trusted with this great responsibility have gone wrong when viewed even from the most partisan standpoint.
 The men who look to have the strongest grasp upon the delegates are McAdoo, Cox, Davies, Edwards, Marshall and Clark. To our mind it will either be McAdoo or Cox, and it may be these two gentlemen as polit- ical travelling companions. Undoubt- edly there will be a resolutio concerning the Volstead act, the League of Nations without reser- vations, federal aid to reclamation projects, especially favorable to the building of great dams on the waters of important rivers like the Colorado and Mississippi, and the pledging of the party to aid in soldier settlement on the public lands. These blanks in the platform will be advocated by the twelve western and southwestern stat es, and the representatives who are familiar with the subjects will also give their unstinted aid.
 The Miner will get five minute re- ports from this convention, so that the people of Kingman and vicinity may be advised of every change in the at titude of the convention on any of the important public questions, as we'll as full report of the nominees and the votes during the big event. While this feature will cost money we feel that the people are entitled to first hand news and we are keeping ahead of the procession.

WHY ' Chinese Students Flock to " French Universities

Chinese students of both sexes aRo expected to 90 to France at the rate of 5000 to 5000 a year during the next two years. This influx is ascribsd to the fact that the Chinese arc nc longer attracted by German universi- ties or Japanese colleges, owing ts the war and the Chinese feeling over the Shantung affair. Another reason for their choice of France is that the United States imposes restrictions up- on Chinese immigrants.
 This affords France an unique op- portunity to shape the careers of those destined to be the nucleus of industri- al and intellectual China of tomor- row. French transportation com panies are offering the Chinese cheap rates of transportation to bring them to France.
 About 1000 young Chinese are aI- ready in France studying the modern scientific methods of industry. finance. commerce and agriculture.
 American sympa.hizers, including Mime. Hughes le Roux, Mrs. Herman Duryea and Mrs. William Astor Chan Ter, have provided a tent as an organ ization center for the new arrivals.
 These Chinese have vowed to live cleanly and frugally and to abstain from gambling and opium smoking.
 Two eighteen-year-old girls are pio- neers of their sex among the students. They arrived clad in tailor-made gowns. Scores more of Chinese girls are expected to follow.

How DanzIs 10 Protected.

Along the Vistula side of the city ef Danzig are large Notifications, stretch Ing almost to Neufahrwasser. The three land sides of the city can be in- undated by the opening of great water gates, built in the middle ages, and modernized before the great war. This inundation can be controlled by the military engineers. and at its greatest extent would make of Danzig a fort on a distant island, requiring an attack by a naval force. And the inundation would be of fresh water, not the salt water that the Belgians allowed to pour over their land in the hectic days of 1914, voluntary sacrifice. of the agricultural value of the soil for the cause of humanity.
