ORDER YOUR
COAL NOW

Buy your coal now for next winter,
if you can get it. The prices will ad-
vance 10 cents per month, and there is
also a possibility of big increase in
coal prices coming on soon, as the
government has let go of the coal re-
gulations, and prices will advance due
TO increase IN the wages of miners
The Brown County Journal says.
Government control over the maxi
mum prices of bituminous coal has
been withdrawn by President Wilson,
to be effective on April /. At the
same time the president wrote the OPP
orators and miners, transmitting the
majority report of the coal commits
sion to them and informing them that
this report, was the basis upon which
wage schedule agreements shall be
made
These agreements normally become
effective on April / and by removing
the government control of prices the
president payes the way for increased
coal prices to absorb the average
twenty-seven per cent increase recon-
mended in the majority report. The
president said that he was sure no
question could be raised as to the
binding character of the majority
committee report, which said the in
crease allowed the miners would be
absorbed by an advance in price. The
wage advance granted the miners will
total $500, 100000 yearly.

you are a moral, as well as legal,

Camouflage in Peace.

A New York business man observed
recently that an important factor in
the high cost of living is the effort
people make to keep up appearances.
Only in few lines is there a notable
shortage of necessities and luxuries
are still to be had, but the effort to
keep up appearances costs many a
family much money.
This, of course, has its good side. 1t
is sort of protective coloring in the
social world that the individual throws
out to keep in the swim and make his
neighbors believe that he is prosper

tegic measure. He who appears

Winter Wheat Out
look and Prices

1t is not pleasing prospect which
the Department of Agriculture hold
out for the winter crop. The April
/ outlook was for total yield of 1885,
$4,000 bushels, compared with 49,
636, 900 bushels produced last year,
and 565, 100000 bushels produced in
1918. The condition in points was
put at 1916, which is "a points below
that of the same time a year ago and
more than s points below the April l
average for a period OF 10 years.
Estimating wheat crops at this
stage of development is far from be-
ing an exact science. Conditions be-
tween this and harvest time for win
ter wheat may improve materially, but
making all due accounts for these con-
siderations, it appears almost certain
that the production of winter wheat

ed.
/. The farmers Of the spring wheat
states of the Northwest now have
something more tangible to reckon
from in making up their minds what
acreage they will devote to wheat.
The inducements appear to be eeonom-
ically strong in favor of a generous
use of ground for this crop.
The Crop bureau, in its tabular
statement of comparative prices
for eight farm products, says the av-
erage price of wheat on March this
year was $2.27, against 83 cents for
the same time in 1914 Cotton was

It will be seen that wheat does
not fare proportionately quite as well
as cotton, potatoes or wool, but it
fares much better than corn, the one
other grain crop included in the list.
What will happen to wheat prices

paternal interest in them in conjec-

have complained most bitterly of the

The League May Send
An Army to Kick Out
The Unspeakable Turk
Plans Are Laid to Use Force to Pro-
tect Armenia, and League Members
Are Counting on U. S. to Help Fur
nish Soldiers and Money.

GENEVA.-A resolution presented
by NJ VIVIAN, inviting the council OF
the league of nations to confer with
the various powers with the view OF
constituting a force sufficient to put
an end to hostilities in Armenia, which
was joined to Lord Robert Cecil's
resolutions along the same lines, was
adopted by the assembly of the league
this afternoon.
The possibility of American aid for
the Armenians was touched upon in
the debate by the assembly of the
league of nations on resolutions de-
manding intervention by the league in
Armenia.
Supporting Lord Robert Cecil's de-
mand that the assembly appoint COM
mittee to examine into means for end
ing the hostilities between the Turk
ish nationalists and the Armenians M.
Spalekjovitch, Of the Serbian delega-
ton, recalled that the United States
senate at one time had approved the
use of the American feet to succor
the Armenians. 1t was recalled here
in this connection that Senator Hard
ing was the senator who reported the
resolution.
A resolution requesting the presi-
dent to send marines to Batum was
adopted by the senate May Is last. 1t
was offeed by Senator Harding on
behalf OF the foreign relations COM
mittee.
A. J. Balfour for Great Britain
speaking on the resolution said that
if the United States had been willing
to take the mandate for Armenia she
had the men, money and spirit to make
her an ideal mandatory. The league
has been unable to accomplish any
thing with regard to the Armenian
situation, Mr.. Balfour admitted, be-
cause the condition of Armenia, he ar
gued, was not such as the league was
organized to deal with.

Dictated by information previously re-
ceived here.
In the town of Hwaian, where there
were 100 families, thirty persons had
died of cholera and similar reports are
common from various other districts.
The picture presented to the eye OF
the correspondent was dismal one.
The soil barren as in midwinter, prices
soaring migration of those having
more money or enterprise, the people
living on a diet of weeds, chaff, this
ties and leaves; children, especially
little girls, offered for sale at the aver

FEDERAL SLEUTHS
HUNT COTTON HOLDERS
President of Farmers Union Says
They Are Hunting Evidence on
Which to Base Prosecutions.
FARMERS SHOULD STAND PAT

Declaring he understood that fed
eral agents are already going over
Kansas, Iowa and other states trying
to get evidence necessary to the in
dictment of men who are asking farm
ers to hold their crops" Charles s.
Barrett, president OF the National
Farmers Union, through a statement
Just issued appeals to members OF
his organization to stand together and
not sell their productions at present
''ruinously low prices"
Show that you have the moral
courage to go to Jail is necessary" Mr.,
Barrett advised members OF the farm
ers union. The word seems to have
been passed around that farmers were
to be taught a lesson-they were get
ting troublesome"
The farmers answer to claims OF
over production, Mr. Barrett said,
should be: I'VE Will simple lessen pro-
duction." This was mo idle threat,
he said, adding: From every part OF
the country comes the promise that
this policy should be adhered to until
the country wakes up to the fact that
it must either go on short rations or
pay you wages high enough to live
on"
Efforts of the farmers toward CO.
operation, Mr.. Barrett said, have met
with strong opposition from the first.
He charged that deliberate efforts
had been made to prevent them from

1000 ARE ARRESTED
IN CHICAGO CLEAN UP
Gamblers, Bootleggers and Drug Sell
ers Taken. Officer Finds $4,000
In Prisoners Shirt.
81 200, 900 ON GAMING TABLES.

CHICAGO, 1ll.-Almost 1000 ar
rests were made and gambling para
phernalia valued at thousands of dol
lars were seized in a crime drive III
Chicago today.
The drive was started at midnight
and continued until tonight Charles
Fitzmorris, chief of police, and Michel
Hughes, chief of detectives, personally
directed operations.
Fill up the cells" was the order
given by Chief Fitzmorris. The order
OF the chief was executed by 800 de-
tectives and police. The jails were
filled tonight.
The prisoners for the most part were
gamblers, but scores of men and boys
carrying arms were gathered in. Many
had burglar tools.
The drive brought in numerous drug
sellers and bootleggers.
Notorious Dens Invaded
Raids were conferred on notorious
gambling dens. How it was carried
on is illustrated by the raid on "Artie
Gums smoke shop" The place was
swarming with gamblers and the ia
bles were loaded with gold and sill
yer.
Automobiles loaded with detectives
and police dashed to the curb with
drawn pistols and officers smashed
through doors and into the heart OF
the dive. Gamblers who attempted to
rush" the police and escape were
dubbed. :,
When the place was 'mopped up
ten loads of prisoners were hauled
away. Gold, silver and currency taken
from the gambling tables totaled more
than $4,000.
Another sensational raid was that on
the establishment of Mick the Greek
Dandalos.
Scores were arrested, but only a
small sum of money was found: Dan
dalos was searched He had $4,000
that he had scooped from the tables
hidden inside his shirt.
There was 100000 being gam
bled in the places we raided," said
Chief of Detectives Hughes, Where
did it come from? 1t came from the
stick-ups, the jewelry robberies and
the pay roll robberies. Saturday night
found these crooks in the gambling
dens, losing it all. It's gambling that
lures them. They rob and kill just to
have something to shoot craps and
plav faro with. If they can't gamble
they won't rob-"
The raids caused a sensation IN po-
litical quarters, where, it was charged,
gamblers obtained protection.
