well as spiritual sermon.

are interesting and each one takes an
active part.

liams is a very good speaker and

great power in the church.

daughter, is on the sick list and also
the wife of the pastor.

Old Employees to Lose Jobs and Pensions

No comparatively large number of
federal employees is affected by the
decision, 1t is believed, but among
those employees who will be deprived
of retirement under annuity, and of
their jobs at the same time. there are
said to be some rather pathetic cases.
Particularly will 1t come hard, 1t Is
declared, to automatically separate
from the service next August 20 one
watchman of the interior department,
who is now more than eighty years OLD
and has served in the department just
fourteen years. one less than neces-
sary. A charwoman in the pension bu-
reau, which is handling the administra-
ton of the retirement law. is more
than eighty years old, but has not
served fifteen years.
Attorney General Palmer in his de-
cision takes up in detail the various
clauses of the retirement law which
seemed to make ambiguous the matter
of retiring or not retiring certain en-
ployees and led Secretary Payne to ask
whether such employees in his depart
ment who have attained the age or
seventy years, but have not rendered
the minimum fifteen years of service,

Mule Couldn't Stand Years of Suspense

yIYAUKEGAN. ILL. Six years ago
w began Lake county's celebrated
mule case. James f. Doyle Of Deer
field originally owned the mule. That
much is sure. John X. Morris, like
wise of Deerfield, is the other party
to the suit That's sure too. It's
also certain that there has been at
least one trial in a Justice court and
three hearings on appeal in the cir
cult court. But that's about as far
as even q Philadelphia lawyer could
be expected TO get the hang of this
famous case.
However. when 1t came up before
Judge c. c. Edwards of Waukegan
the other day, it seemed to be reason
ably clear that Morris had possession
of the mule. Doyle. to all appear
ances, wanted Morris to pay him $3.50
for the use of the mule-S10 a month
for 70 months.
On the other hand, IT appeared to be
plair that Morris wanted the sum of

Fuel Oil Distribution to Be Regulated

COME plan for the regulation of the
y distribution of fuel oil may be
resorted to If the present menace of
a serious shortage continues. A con-
ference of representatives Of the lead
ing refineries and users of fuel oil to
work out some joint plan Of distribu-
lion has been suggested by Secretary
OF Commerce Alexander.
The suggestion has been made par
ticularly with reference to the situa-
ton in California, In a letter to Sena-
tor Phelal of that state. Secretary
Alexander opposes any embargo be-
cause of its effect upon American ex-
port trade. He takes the position that
an embargo should be used only as a
last resort.
Latest figures show that the navy
now needs 100000 barrels Of fuel OIL
q year and that the shipping board
with its new merchant fleet, will re-
quire 100000 barrels for 1920 and
10000. 900 barrels for 1921.
The demand for fuel oil for the
ships of the navy and government
owned merchant marine alone equals
the present output of American re-
fneries for about four months.
Prices of oil have rapidly advanced,

Has Tarzan of the Apes Had Relapse!

has been in the woods for months and
months. Who he is and where he
came from is mystery. He is be-
lieved demented. At times he retains
the power of speech, as he called to
three boys one day. At other times
he grimaces and makes signs and
jabbers, but speaks no words.
For his haunts he has chosen a
heavily wooded island created by a
fork in the Nishnabotna river near the
site of Seeley's old mill. The mill
was the pioneer water mill of south
ern Iowa and has long since fallen
to decay. The mill dam is broken and
the whole thing is now but a pile Of
rocky ruins.
The whole country side turns out
Sundays to hunt the ape-man. Last

LOOKING BACKWARD
BY WILLIAM r. SHIELDS

I love to think of days In camp. when
early in the morn
/ family heard-and deeply cursed-the
bugler's raucous horn;
/ sit and dream of training days when
would hike and drill,
And learn thousand fancy ways the
subtle boche to kill;
And often from the field III trudge with
sweat upon my brow:
l love to lie in bed and think, needn't
do II now.
I love to think Of days-and nights-when
in the snow and rair
! stood on guard and frozs my feet and
almost went insane;
/ love to think of slushy days when on
my sturdy back
ia tote through Frances sticky mud q
hefty army pack;
And oft at night I'd hunt berth in
some chilly NOW:
I love to lie In bed and think, l needn't
do 1t now.
All, WE'LL the moving finger WRITES, and.
having writ, moves on
Those days talasD will ne'er return-they
are forever gone;
The time has passed when / was wont
to stick the husky Hun;
I'm lust a drab civilian, be-I miss the
old-time fun
But stin I don't feel very blue: kiss my
loving frau.
And lie IN bed. and thank my stars I'm
