 However, from sources other than the operators it Is shown that coal ac tually moved from the mines on Tues day of this week amounted to 43,o00 tons, and that the Monday movement was about 44.000 tons. The average for the week has been about 44,0o2 tons daily according to these appare ltly indisputable figures. That points to a weeks production of 264.000 tons, which is very little under the average prior to the general strike call.

The Kiwanis Club met at their weekly luncheon Wednesday at Mrs. I. E. Tay- lors. At this meeting there was no bus- ness transacted, the time being given ex- clusively to hearing the address by Judge Hugh Locke of Birmingham, who. was the guest of the club Judge Locke 8 subject was "Driftwood," and from this he drew a comparison to the driftwood element ir society gamblers and idlers and selfish business men whose thoughts drifted around their own interests only, and he showed by statistics that most crimes committed today resulted from this driftwood element and most of the divorces could be attributed to the pro- pensity for idleness. which is drifting.
 Tn the course of his speech he praised all civic activities and civic bodies as be- ing potent factors for good in any com. -munity, and as being one of the surest signs of progress and development of city. Judge Locke's address was thor oughly enjoyed by the Kiwanians, of whom there was large number present.

strike which neither side to the controversy can sidestep. Comparison of the current coal pro- duction with that of this time in 1919. when there was no strike, is of in- terest.
 COMPARISON WITH 1919 The production for the weeks named in 1919 was as follows: Week ending September 13, 259,344 tons.
 Week ending September 6, 249,071 duction of coal during the week pre- From this it appears that the pro- tons
 |ceding the general strike call was in excess of the same period last year, and that the production in the first deew of the general strike call was al- most identical with the corresponding week in 1919, when there was no strike.
 The operators call attention to the fact that labor day fell last week and that as the custom. the majority or the mines, those not on strike as well as others, took holiday. In fact, hun dreds of miners came to the city and participated in the labor day parade.
 It is also recorded that Saturday of last week was a pay day, which also contributes to production. Oper- ators claim that but for Labor Day, the production of last week would nave been greater than that of the preced- ing week.
 NO CURTAILMENT
 Making every allowance suggested by disinterested effort to get at the real facts as to production the first week of the general strike did not cur tail production more than to per cent compared with the preceding week.
 Great interest is felt in the figures production for this week, but they will not be obtainable before the middle of next week. Prior to their collation and

 Mir. Sexton attributes the remark ably rapid growth of the business of this firm, first to tie quality of goods sold and second to newspaper adver- Using. "Of course,' he said, neither factor would be any good without the other. We could not continue to sell inferior goods no matter how much we spent for advertising, but on the other hand the best goods in the world could not have such increasing sales as we are enjoying without liberal advertising" He said the firm Is planning to increase their advertising appropriation for next year by about one-third and will probably relieve him of some of his other duties so that he can devote practically all his time to supervision of their adver- tising.

Marion, O., July 22.-From all parts of Ohio and from many distant states, pilgrims poured into Marion from early this morning until noon to witt ness the notification ceremonies at which Senator Warren c. Harding was informed of his nomination by the Republican party. The official committee was headed by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, who made a brilliant speech eulogiz- ing the nominee and protfering him the leadership of the party in the race against Gov. James NJ. Cox.
 Crowds poured out of every incom- ing train and roads leading to Marion were packed by automobiles, convey ing their share of the holiday assem- blaze. Through gaily decorated streets, the stream of vehicles wend ed their way, some to the home of Senator Harding and some to snatch early places of vantage in Garfield park, in which the ceremonies took place. A representative from every state of the union was member of the notification committee headed by Senator Lodge.
 At the Harding home, Senator and Mrs. Harding stood for while on the front porch and smilingly acknowl- edged the cheers of the crowd. Sev- eral calls were made before Mrs. Harding finally appeared.
 Festivities today were opened at ' o'clock when an American flag was raised on flag pole which for years stood on the lawn of the home of the late William Mckinley at Canton.
 Shortly after, loud chorus of cheers greeted the appearance of the Caledonia band, in which Senator Harding formerly played cornet.
