Former Laundry
Operator Again
in Limelight

Silverton, Ore, Dec. 22.-Roy
Neal, who was for some time man
ager of the Silverton Steam Laun-
dry has again rppeared in the
Gmelight. He was arrested a few
days ago in Portland on a charge
of forcing lady employees of the
laundry to work overtime and
then leaving town without paying
his help. His case will be tried in
Salem. When Neal was in business
here he seemed to be fairly pros
porous for time, but finally his
creditors began to close in on him
ana his delivery car was taken by
local firm to satisfy a claim.
When this occurred he left town
ana the business was taken over
by the owner Mrs. Ethel Folger of
Salem, who is now in charge.

So Mr.. Turtle swan for the spo
where the stones were chugginl
and splashing into the pond. HI
crawled out upon the bank, too
and climbed on top of a rock
| where he craned his neck, in or
der to get good view of the road
1t was not long before Mr. Tur-
tie began to smile. And then he
slipped into the water again and
swan back to find Paddy Musk
rat.
ITS just as aaidl" Mr.. Turtle
told Paddy. There's no danger
Nobody's trying to hurt anybody
in this pond.
Didn't you see Johnnie Green? {?
Paddy asked.
mol" Mr.: Turtle answered. "It
was his father that was throwing
the stones into the pond"
His father' Paddy, Muskrat
eXcIlimed. 81 never supposed it
was Farmer Green. And 1 must
say that it's pretty small thing
for a grown man to be doing
stopping to throw stones at me.
It's a boys trick-that's what it
isl"
But he wasn't throwing stones
at you, Mr.. Turtle explained. He
didn't know you were on the bank.
Farmer Green is simply trying TO
clear the road of stones. He s
tired of having his wagon jolt over
them every time he drives this
way. And he has made up his
mind that whenever he passes the
pond he'll stop and pick up a few
of the stones and throw them into
the water.
80 you see there's no danger"
Mr.. Turtle added.
well! l wouldn't care to be hit
by stone, whether it was aimed
at me or not" Paddy Muskrat re-
marked.
Just keep away from that side
of the pond" Mr.. Turtle advised.
1T won't be long" he added.
How long?" Paddy inquired.
oh not more than forty
years, | should say" was Mr.. Tur-
ties answer.
To a person as long lived as he
was. forty years seemed nothing
at all. But Paddy Muskrat thought
1t was very long time. And he
said so, too.

Pallic Was Not
Caused By Coal
Men, Is Claim

Washington, Dec. 22.-George
P. Cushing, managing dJector of
the American Wholesale Coal as
sociation. today before the senate
coal investigating committee en-
tered a denial that coal men had
planned" the series of govern
ment statements and actions which
he said caused a coal shortage
panic this year.
Some of the coal men got the
the high prices" he said, but I
want to absolve them from bring
ing about the steps which five
government organizations took that
caused the panic"
Just what was your association
doing with Mr. Tumulty. secre-
tary to the president ?" asked
Senator Kenyon, after reading "
section Of a speech made by d. b.
Wentz, former president of the
coal association, to operators re-
ferring to constant visits" made
to the white house by it's Officers.
81 went to Mr.. Tumulty from
time to time to aosyise him upon
the situation and the interstate
commerce commission order" the
witness responded. I'VE kept Mr.
Tumulty currently informed"
You were fighting the idea
that a fuel administration might
be necessary?' Senator Kenyon
commented.
Eyes, we thought the fuel ad-
could not be install
ed in time to meet the emergency
and that the existing agencies
could meet the service" was the
reply.
Mr.. Morrow said the coal asso- |
citation was taking legal steps to
enjOin the fedepl trade commits ,
sion from collecting statistics on
coal production prices and profits;
to enjoin the interstate commerce .
from "enfoncing as
signed car" orders and to help in
the defense of members facing
for violations of the !
Lever law. The witness said the
trade commission had sought to
enforce methods of accounting o
be used at mines which the oper-
ators felt were not practicable.

Throwing Stones

One evening Paddy Muskrat
was eating a dainty morsel on the
bank. near his home. He had dug
n sweet tasting root from the bot
tom of the pond and had swum %
the shore to enjoy it.
As Paddy sat there, a wagon
came clattering down the road.
But Paddy paid no attention to the
! sound. 1t happened too often, ev-
cry day, to oause him any uneasf-
ness.
/ The wagon stopped. But that.
too, had happened before. And still
Paddy Muskrat continued his
meal.
Then several stones came sail
ing through the air. Some of them
splashed into the pond. And some
of them struck the bank near the
spot where Paddy Muskrat crouch
ed over his tidbit.
He dropped the root at once
and plunged into the pond.
IT'S Johnnie Green!" he said to
himself savagely. as he dived out
of sight and swan toward his
doorway. II don't know how he
could see me from the road. But
he did,"
Rnddy stayed in his house un-
til he thought Johnnie Green had
had plenty of time to grow tired
Of throwing stones and drive on
again. Then Paddy crept out of
his house; for he intended to go
back to the bank to finish his
meal.
To his surprise the shower of
stones was still falling into the
pond. And since Paddy was hun
CRY, he had to swim under waite
some distance from his house and
find another root, which he took
home TO eat-though it was far
pleasanter dining upon the bank,
where the air was fresh.
If Paddy Muskrat was angry
then, he was much angrier the
next evening, when the same thing
happened again. He was on the
bank, eating a fresh water clam,
when "a wagon stopped IN the road |
close by. Paddy paid little need to
it. Several wagons Rad passed !
while he was eating.
I'm glad it's not that horrid |
Johnnie Green!" Paddy remarked
between nibbles.
The words were hardly out Of
his mouth when a stone larcel |
within an inch of mis- no9a.
Paddy didn't stop to say another
word to himself lie dropped the
clam quickly and dlvsd mo the
water, while stones went cnIng!
ehug! all around him.
This is a little too much*"
Paddy Muskrat told his friend Mr..
turtle, whom he met on his way
nome. IF Johnnie Green is COM
ng here every evening to throw
stones at me 1 shall have to move
10 some other neighborhood."
Now. Mr.. Turtle did not want
Paddy to go away.
It's quite safe here he said
I've lived in this pond for almost
hundred years and nothing has
yer hurt me. To be sure, I've had
,lenty of stones thrown at me.
But l pay little atterfkon to them"
You must remember said
Paddy Muskrat-"you must re-
member that you have very hard
Jack. If I had back like yours,
lnder which l could draw my
read. I wouldn't care how many
tones Johnnie Green threw at me.
I'm afraid I shall have to look
or another place to live"
"Nonsense!" old Mr.. Turtle
ried. There's no danger at all!
And just to prove to you what a
afe place this pond is, I'm going
where the stones are falling"

He did not sail at once. After
all. in the face of such an unmis
taxable declaration of independ-
ence, it did not seem worth while
for him to arouse himself from
the golden lethargy of enchantment
and break the spell of Europe
which held him content, amid the
mellow ripeness of her capitals
and the tinted splendor of her tra-
ditions.
He wrote frequently for a few
months. Then his letters Jagged.
Once his pretty countess had
