that section of the country which was
known SO well for its spinning and
weaving industry, had not a loom In
the place. The Turks had scrapped
them, and 1t was our job to dig them
out and put the people to work. We
got bales of cotton from Armenia and
Egypt, and soon the women were
spinning garments for themselves and
for the 1000 orphans in our hospital.

our work when the French relieved

robbed. The first three weeks OF April

fire, and cut off from the outside worid

They were fighting at Narash, only
twenty miles from our hospital. There
were 10000 Armenians killed or taken,

COAL

The question of national control
is brought squarely to the forefront
bv the statements of Senator Calder
and Edge, members of the Senate
Committee on Reconstruction, VINO
nave served notice on the coal In
dustrv of the United States unless
that industry reforms itself ana
cuts prices to reasonable ngure
by December 6, which is the date OF
the reassembling of Congress, they
will introduce bill providing for the
most stringent regulation OF every
branch of the coal business. AS
usual. the coal industry has attempts
ed to shift the burden OF responsible
ity by laying it's omissions onto the
railroads. The Car Service Division
of the American Railway Association
punctures this claim by the state
ment that more coal is being trans
ported this year than last year, both
IN the Ignite and anthracite fields.
There is plenty of talk about the
ACCESSIBILITY of conferences between
operators, jobbers railroad executives
and representatives of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, for the pur-
pose of Strengthening out the coal
situation. Doubtless this will help
some, but the question arises as to
how far the authority of the Corr
mission could be extended in correct
ing the difficulties. The Commission
has no control except over the rail-
roads. and the railroads, according
to official statements, are the only
ones who are fully meeting their re
sponsibilities.

CONTROL.

Every suggestion in the line OF
Government control of the coal ana
nil industry brings forth violent OBJ.
lection to the discredited policy OF
Government ownership. Inere
has been that kind of talk since
Senators Calder and Edge gave warn
ing to the coal operators. The sug-
gestion of conferences between the
different elements in the coal INDUS
try and the railroads shows clearly
that the intent is to bring a factor
into the settlement of matters which
is subject. as are the railroads, to
Government control. Apparently it
is an admission that Government con-
troll is effective and operative. There
is no need to camoufiage The coal and
oil situation by producing the DOGGY
of Government ownership. Few
sensible people favor Government
ownership of our utilities or indus
tries.
At recent meeting of the Emer-
gency Committee of the Gas Indus
try and the American Petroleum In
stitute. Mr.. Philip HI. Gadsden pro-
duced the argument that the gas in
dustry has become dependent upon
the Gil producers. and that, therefore
the oil producers must realize that
they are only one step removed from
being engaged in a public utility
themselves. He added that in view
of the radical and extraordinary in
creases in oil and coal that the gas
business could no longer be called 9

sense, because the rate paid by tbs
/ consumer was no longer determined

In the oil business it is PLAIN tnat
the refinery interests are dlscfimih-
ating in the selection of their Gus
toners. and it has already been
nointed out in this corresponoehces'
that there has been practical az
mission that some of them nave
withdrawn gas oil from the market
and have arranged to discontinue the
sale of fuel oil. This is Justified py
the refinery interests on the GROUNDS
that there are no reserves, ana ina.
fine industrial interests are non-es-
sential because they can fall back on
coal, while such a thing is not pos
s;ble for the automotive interests. In
other words they assert that one can,
not run an automobile with coal
nile. and as automobiles are their
best customers. they propose to make
some of the industrial establishments
resort to that course. !,
Just how far the coal and oil pro-
ducers are to be permitted to dictate
industrial policies is becoming serl-
our question.

COURTS.

The Kansas Industrial Court has
driven wedge between bonafide or
gained labor and it's radical lead
ership. It has doubtless strengthen
ed the position of labor, since under
it's operation it has been found to be
one of the most constructive acts
thus far designed to meet the econ
omic conflict between labor and capt.
tai. and to settle disputes in way
demanded from justice when it is
necessary to go to court. The en-
dorsement of the law by the labor
ing men, as individuals, is regarded
as one of the results of the recent
Kansas election. In view of this
fact the industrial court proposition
now pending before Congress, Will
likely be given a great impetus when
it is up for consideration this winter.

THIS is good school week IN the
State of Wisconsin ana every citizen
of the state interested in education IS
reo,,ested to visit the schools at some
time during, the W eek, in order to get
first hand information of the work
being done in the schools and 10 use
their influence toward better school
conditions and suggestions that will
tend to increase the efficiency OF the
schools.
Every school in the state is making
a special effort to induce people to
visit the schools this week and letters
have been written by the children to
the parents requesting them to at
tend.
So far this week the number OF
visitors. at the schools in our city
has not been as large as 1t should
have been and special effort should
be rut forth by everyone to visit the
schools during the remaining day OF
the week..
Let's show the people in charge OF
the schools that we are interested IN
the work being done, that we believe
in the highest education possible 70

WASHBURN is not the only city IN
the country that is having difficulty
with finances. on account of the IL: Z.
of L. which has effected city finances
more than it has the finances of any
person or corporation, for with the
city the means of raising more money
has not been devised. Over at Ash
land the tax rate has been given a
big boost and this year will hit the
high water mark, the same as it
has done in many other places. The
increases are brought about by the
raise in teachers salaries, fuel ex-
pense and general raise along all
lines. Unless things go back to
normal before great length OF time
many cities are going to find them
selves IN financial difficulty unless the
next legislature finds some means OF
giving cities relief.

commissions. but was controlled ap-
solutely by the coal and petroleum
interests. ~
In view of the statement OF Mr.
Gadsden it is very difficult to figure
out why railroads, the gas compan,
les, and other public utilities snoulo
be subject to public control, as tney
now are, while the coal and petro-
leum interests, which are SO tremen.
dous factor in fixing the cost or
production, are not only uncontrolled;
but are able to discriminate and
select their customers, and TO &C
tually create conditions in industry
and trade that govern the ultimate
cost of the products of public utiil-
ties to the consumers.

How "Mlssp Came Into Use.

The origin of Miss" Is curious.
and, oddly, enough, an almost exact
date can be assigned when 1t first
came into use. This was 1862, when
notable women of doubtful reputation
and unmarried were so called, the
Miss" being flip abbreviation of
Mistress" a title of respect for both
married and unmarried women. The
word "miss," however, flied SO long
felt want that the public seized upon
it, ignoring it's earlier connections,
and within so years 1t was well estab-
lished.

WITH the open season for hunting
deer coming on next Sunday we deem
II wise to offer word of advise to
those going into the woods in order
that the toll of accidents may be held
tn nothing. The woods will be filled
with hunters bent upon securing game
and many of these hunters do not
wait to be sure that the object at
which they are shooting is not
human being. Therefore it is wise
to wear clothing of bright colored
hues, preferably the red or green
colors, SO that the hunter can easily
be distinguished irons, animals IN
the woods. Great care should also
be exercised around the hunting cabins
in handling of fire arms for many OF
the accidents occur in the careless
handling of guns which are supposed
to be mot loaded"
If every hunter going into the
woods will use care we can go through
the season without ar accident. Let
very one help to make a clean record
for Bayfield, county and have a season
90 by without single accident.

Forth Worth, Tex, Aug 20-Tev9, =,
cattlemen are facing q very serious
situation, which has it's bearing on
the country's beef supply, due to
their inability to get loans, accord
ing to A. c. Williams, assistant sec
retary of the Cattle Raisers Associa-
ton of Texas. He said that the
money stringency was bringing about
the depletion of existing herds and
preventing the building up Of new
ones.
More good pasturage is going to

many years, Mr.. Williams said.

sold for slaughter.
"The sheep raising interests of the
San Angelo country are even more
seriously threatened than the cattle
interests This is due in part to the
financial stringency, and is having
its bearing on the cattle situation.
| "The principal factor in the sheer

be the virtual withdrawal of the
wool buyers from the market The
wool crop this year in the San Ang-
! clio territory is estimated at between

increase of about 100000 pounds
