Also Formally Pledged
Other Reforms In Coal
Handling
RESOLUTION
Government Has Agreed
To Suspend Suits For
Time

All coal interests In the Fair
mont region are vitality concerned
in the outcome of the conference at
Washington. D. c., last Friday. 1t
is understood that the Falrmont
committee were told point blank
by Assistant Attorney General
Henry S. Mitchell, Of the Depart
ment of Justice, that pyramiding
OF commissions in the future would
not be permitted. Operators were
also told that local shipments
could not be neglected for foreign
orders.
The Fairmont committee pre-
sented resolution that was draft
ed in this city last week. While
Mr.. Mitchell did not peruse the
resolu ton in full, he inquired II
provision was made in them for
the turning over of coal company
books to the government. 1t Is be-
lieyed that one of the reasons for
a wholesale subpoenaing of coal
operators was that many had not
submitted questionnaires that had
been requested by the department.
From what can be gathered the
existing subpoenas will be held up
Indefinitely pending the action OF
the coal operators to bring down
the price OF coal. which the depart
ment, it is understood, is bound to
accomplish. After the conference
Mr.. Mitchell issued a statement,
which was given to the press in
| Washington, D. C. Mr.. Mitchell
! states that q committee Of coal
operators from Northern West Vir-
ginia called upon him and that
upon showing a disposition to CO.
operate with the Department of
Justice the existing subpoenas
would be temporarily suspended.
While coal operators have not
committed themselves exactly on
furnishing Information" ii is cer-
tian that they are in favor Of elm
! mating high priced coal, and they
have gone on record US favoring
| the plan to establish a fair price
committee and approve of plan
whereby every purchaser shall
stipulate in writing that the coal
so purchased shall not be resold
/ through more than one other
Wholesale dealer.
The resolution passed at the
meeting in Fairmont and later re-
leased to the press in Washington,
D. c., is as follows:
Whereas, At meeting Of coal
operators of Northern West Vir-
! glnia and their attorneys, United
| States District Attorney Stuart W.
| Walker, and Assistant to the
| United States Attorney General
Henry S. Mitchell, in the latters'
office in Washington, on Saturday,

ing was arranged for the purpose
Of considering the Federal Grand
Jury Investigation into the coal
industry then scheduled to begin
ney General suggested that meet
September 21, 1920, and the rea-
sons for institutlng same, the said
District Attorney and Assistant
TO the Attorney General severely
criticised some OF the trade prac-
tices alleged to be prevalent in the
coal industry; and

LIFE WITHOUT MICROBES

Microbes are not indispensable to all
life if they are indispensable to any. The
question has been definitely settled, it is
claimed by some authorities.
A cage completely sterilized at 90 de-
grees was made and the openings of the
cage closely stopped with cotton and pro-
tected from the outside by Theoretically
closed metallic chamber. Such manipula
tons as were necessary in opening the
cage were made by hands guarded by
aseptic rubber cloth. Into such sterilized
cage three hens eggs were placed after
having been externally sterilized. The
cage was fitted with a glass pavilion or
chicken run, where the chickens could de-
velop during their six weeks sojourn in
the cage. In the cage were sterilized air,
pure water, sterilized sand, and sterilized
feed. The experiments showed that life
does not depend upon microbes but that the
vital work of the organism is easy and
natural when everything is sterilized.-Ex

Henlein, the inventor of this watch, was
prosecuted for witchcraft when he with
drew from his companions to work out
his invention. He finally was put in pri-
son, where his watch was perfected. After
some time he retired to the convent of the
Carmelities, where he was allowed to
manufacture watches on condition that he
give the proceeds to the order. He died
in 1910 at Nuremberg the scene Of his
prosecutions, where monument has been
erected to him.

SOVIETS TRIED 100 YEARS AGO

The word "Soviet" is, it appears, of
Serbian origin. The first Soviet govern
ment was not set up in Moscow, but in
Belgrade in the year 1905. "Soviet"
means a Council" and the village COM
munes having local jurisdiction only. Each
of them, however, had the right of send
ing elected representatives to the Central
Soviet at the capital, which alone, in the
beginning, exercised full powers. But by
degrees the local Soviets arrogated to
themselves more and more power until
towards the end the Central Government
existed in name only. Serbia was really
ruled throughout by the Soviets, composed
of peasants, workmen and soldiers, and
run on much the same lines as are those
in Bolshevik Russia today. They were
finally suppressed by one of their chief
founders, an unlettered peasant nicknamed
Kara George ("Black George"), who
seized the supreme power and set up
military dictatorship. Perhaps history
may again repeat itself.-Exehange.

WRITE ME A LETTER FROM HOME

Old playmate of days that are past,
Friends of my joy and my woe,
1 have left the old cottage at last
Der the salt sea to 60.
The memory of friendship so true
Is cherished wherever roam:
Oh, say tits remembered by you,
And write me letter from home.
l think of the old-fashioned cot,
Where we for so many year,
Contented and glad. with our lot,
Lived with our Mary so dear;
AS onward the ship DER the wave,
Is borne through the white-Aying foam,
l think of the blessing she gave,
So write me letter from home.
l think of our rambles by day,
How sweetly the birds used to sing,
When all the bright meadows were gay
Decked with the flowers of spring.
What castles we built in the air!
What plans for the bright days to come!
Oh, think of our boyhood so fair,
And send me letter from home.

IT'S UP TO YOU

In youthful days, with manly sport,
Build up the things of sterner sort. Il.
Keep up your heart, put on your smile,
You'll skin the other chap mile.
Remember all along the course
To use your cleanest, vital force.
Remember that you're just yourself,
Put all the others on the shelf.
You make yourself cheapened skate,
When someone else you initiate.
Get these things right inside your dome,
Then find your groove and drive them
home.
This world is full of things to do
And each invites turn from you.
The things you've gained, not what you've
lost,
IT'S the things worth while that counts
the most
Not what you are, but what you do,
Will in the long run count for you.
Then up life's hill your way you'll wind,
When once you've got this steam behind.
Keep on your track, goodbye suspense,
Your tank chuck full of common sense.
Bat them going and swat them coming,
And put the big humm into humming.
Use up the juice, put 'er in high,
The World is big, your limit the sky.
Follow the track, blaze through the strife,
Pull off your biggest stunt of life.
Keep your eyes peeled, don't let them
go by,
You're bound to succeed, if you only try.
There is class upon this earth
Who lack the spirit of joy and mirth,
And everywhere these fellows 60
The seeds of discomfort they sow.
Mop up the earth of such disgrace
And leave them not standing place.
Meet each problem on the square
And do the thing that's right and fair.
With courage strong, and brave, and bold,
To will to do, to win and hold;
Put in with zest the biggest punch,
They'll soon sit up and take the bunch.
Push behind all worry and care
And ask Gods guidance everywhere.
When all your work on earth is through
Twill then be time enough for you
To bid your friends down here goodbye,
And poke your dome up through the sky.
Before your years have reached decline
Get others on the firing line
To take it up just where you quit
And carry on till they exit.
Build up living monument,
A Nations most blest adornment.
