Impression Is That British Are Trying
to Discipline France.
Paris.-Nothing has as yet been de-
cided as to Premier Millerand's at
tendance at the supreme council meet
ings at San Reno, and it was declared
Monday in a reliable source that if
the conference there was to discuss
the misunderstanding between France
and Great Britain he would not go at
all.
A personal talk on the subject with
Premier Lloyd George would be wel-
coined by the French premier If Mr..
Lloyd George could find it convenient
to come to Paris, but it is considered
in official circles that as the point at
issue interests France and Great Brit
ain only it is needless to discuss it
before the representatives Of the other
powers.
It is held here that the British gov
eminent in persisting in the discussion
has put the matter in a form where
1t is difficult to see what satisfaction
it is possible to give. France has not
been asked to e%vacuate Frankfort, and
the impression is gaining ground, it
a indicated, that what is sought
above all is to discipline France.

COAL HIGH, THREE DECLARE
Commission Says Wage Advance Does
Not Justify Raise in Fuel.

wv Ouoe1ty n0toV III VVSIs
Washington. - The United States
bituminous coal commission, which
settled the dispute between soft coal
miners and operators, declared in a
formal statement Saturday that pres
ent prices of bituminous coal "were
inaccessible and "out of all relation
to the increase in the cost of produc-
ton caused by higher wages granted
by the commission"
Declaring that the present rise in
prices could not be attributed to the
campaign for early buying, the COM
missions statement said there were
various causes for the Temporary up
ward trend" including widespread
feeling that there might be a scarcity
Of coal for domestic use, due to foreign
demand.
"There seems also to be a misappre-
hension in regard to production" the
statement added. "The weekly reports
of the geological survey show that in
the first quarter of the present year
our production was decidedly in excess
Of the production under high pressure
in 1918. There is, therefore, no rea-
son, based on the last months, for the
sky-rocketing Of prices.
"The fear Of immediate suffering
from car shortage seems also to figure
in the reasons for the furry. There
is no Immediate serious threatening
Of q a shortage such as has not
existed during the winter, unless it
is necessary, because of emergencies,
to divert coal cars for other purposes.
"Frenzied bidding up Of prices on
the part Of coal buyers seems there
fore at this time to be entirely unjus-
tified."

OBSERVATIONS

One hour day proftably employed
would enable man Of ordinary ca
pacity to master a complete science.
One hour day would make an ig-
norant man we'll informed men In
ten years. One hour day would
earn enough to pay for two daily and
two weekly papers, two leading mag
azines and a dozen good books. In an
hour day boy or girl could read
twenty pages tnoughtfully-over sew
en- thousand pages or eighteen large
volumes in year An hour day
might make all the difference between
bare existence and useful happy liv-
Ing. An hour day might make
and has made-an unknown man a
famous one, useless one a benefac
tor OF his race. Consider then the
mighty possibilities Of two, four, yes,
six hours day that are, on the aver
are, thrown away by young men and
women in the restless seasch for fun
and diversion "A good time" is fine
thing but don't carry It to excess.
Middle age may catch you with the
realization that you could have spent
Just as happy and joyous a youth and
yet used little time enriching your
life for enjoyment in after years -

NEW LIGHT ON PILGRIM
FATHERS IN HOLLAND GIVEN
BY THREE OLD DOCUMENTS
(By Associated Press

Leyden, Holland, Sept. 22.-NeW
light is thrown on the residence OF
the Pilgrim Fathers in Holland ny
three old documents which Professor
Eekhof discovered in the archives OF
Layden and which he published on
the occasion of the Dutch Pilgrim
Fathers celebration here. One OF the
documents Is a contract signed by
John Robinson, leader Of the Pill
grims declared to be the only sigma
ture of Robinson which has been pre-
served and this discovery may lead to
the identification Of other writings by
him.
The second document is letter
written by William Bradford short
time before his departure from Hol-
land. He was afterward governor Of
Massachusetts Day colony.
The third paper DR.. Eekhof dis
covered is the last will Of Bridget
White, John Robinson's wife, and con-
taiDs considerable quantity Of in
teresting information about Robin
sons household.
Dr. Eekhof has added to his work
the facsimilies Of the three docu
nents.

THE LARGE FAMILY

Time was we seldom bowed to care
the family was small,
An grief went walkin' down the way
an never stopped to call.
We heard of sorrow here an there an
saw times constant change,
But it was all far away an seemed
so very strange
That jealousy we lived our lives,
scarce thinkin' we must know
The sorrow others had to bear, but
that was long ago.
And now the family has grown; it's
circle stretches wide
And very often now our hearts by
care and grief are tried.
We've many here no share our lives,
and some of them are old.
Soon by the Shepherd to be called in
to the heavenly fold.
and We have bowed our heads in
grief and lived those days of
woe
Which seemed so strange to us back
then in that glad long ago.
{
We've drawn the shades against the
sun, we've said the last good
bye,
We understand just what 1t means to
see loved one die,
Tor as the family larger grows more
oft we come to care
md greater are the burdens that our
hearts are asked to bear.
md yet our joys have multiplied, glad
smiles throughout the years
Ind love and laughter we have known
to pay us for our tears.

fact that Polk county, having more

the contractor mentioned yesterday,

One Of the first American engineers

Hays Hammond, California bay, who

Judgment OF men as to his Judgment
of ore.
Once | had the pleasure of spending
Sunday with Mr., Hammond at his
beautiful summer home at Gloucester
Mass. Among other questions, |
asked him what tests he used in Sc.

replied:

BERRIEN COUNTY MUST
VOTE AGAIN FOR BONDS

Berrien county's $350,OOO highway
bond issue was invali0ated Monday
by decision of the court of appeals
in the case of Paulk ct al versus the
county commissioners.
An UNUSUAL and interesting tech
meal question was raised in the case.
1t was this: Could the county com
missioners issue and the superior
court validate $350,000 of highway
bonds when the people had approved
an issue of 100000.
The court of appeals holds that the
commissioners cannot issue and the
superior court cannot validate an
amount of bonds less than the speci-
fic amount submitted to the people
of the county and approved by them
in the election.
The reason of the county commits
sioners for issuing $35O,OOO instead
of 100000 was that the taxable val
ues of the county would not permit
an issue of $4,000 under the limita-
ton imposed by the constitution
In view of the court of appeals
decision, it would seem to be neces-
sary to do the whole thing over again
by submitting to the peopl of the
county $350,000 bond issue.
