Polecat. 80 he came dragging the goose
along just as the guests were arriving
Il hope | SIT next To YOU at the table
MIR. Fox called out MIR Wolf ''That
fat goose certainly does look good to me,
and am sure we NIL are very much oblig-
cd to YOU for bringing it.
Mr.. Fox looked with suspicious eyes
at Mr.. Wolf as he replied, "And what,
may | ask, did YOU bring, Mr.. Wolf, to
make us glad you came to the fcast?"
Mr. Wolf said he had meant TO bring
a young lamb. but after searching two
whole days he remembered that it wasn't
the right time of year for young lambs 10
be around and then it was too late to
hunt for something else.
Everybody was highly indignant.
Who do YOU think is going to run a
clearinghouse for you. stupid oneP"
said one member, while another remark
ed that he should have none of what he
had brought, and it is doubtful if Mr.. Wolf
would ever have got into the feast if Mr..
Polecat had not at that moment come to
the door to inquire what the uproar WAS
about
No one wanted MIR Polecat to be angry
so he was not told about MIR. Wolf coming
without bringing his share. and he passed
in with the rest while all the members
vowed to themselves that the question
should be settled later.
And such a charming sight as it all
was, to be sure. The big log which served
as a table had a cover made of gray moss
taken of rocks and trunks Of trees by
Mr.. Wood Rat.
4 row of scooped-out pumpkins, with
funny holes dug in them by Mr.. Red
Squirrel. each pumpkin having some
melted fat and piece of dry moss for n
wick furnished the lanterns to light the
place.
Miss Porcupine had special surprise
in a wonderful centerpiece This was an
other pumpkin filed with red apples
carrots and chestnuts. and right in the
middle sat Mr.. Chipmunk all hidden by
the good things
He was not to move until the guests
were All seated and then Miss Porcupine
was to give the signal for him to jump out
and make speech Of welcome

LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE

Dear Joe:
Your new photo arrived, and dent
worry, I won't show il to the baby. Toh
little angel has been showing signs Of
suffering from n possible tooth and I'd
| be the last one to add TO his worries. But
| don't lose any sleep, Joe, over your In
| efficiency TO take becoming picture.
Brains before Beauty, is n good motto,
and il ought to be an easier one for you to
live up to than for most men, on account
Of your natural scarcity of beauty It's
nv opinion that almost everything is n
blessing in disguise, only of course in this
case the disguise is SO perfect you couldn't
hardly be expected To find the blessing
with out IL being pointed out 10 you.
And. anyways. Joe, beauty ~ only skin
deep and if you happen To be thicker
skinned than the majority it amt your
fault. As Mrs. Fink says AS long as the
hearts in the right place we should worry
about the expression. You werent any
better-looking when ] married you. in
fact on the contrary, because YOU were
thinner then and it sort of aggravated
your looks, but | took chance, and now
Joe, believe me | miss YOU as much rs if
you was the handsomest 6 foot 3 Appel
lonaris that ever came down the pike,
and may be more, because personally
I iAtNtA hthN ~ E'tat pi' iVi tgAk
statues. think they're insipid.
But TO come back 10 the baby's hkli-
hood of n tooth, Joe, ] really do think
he's showing at least n strongpesire for one.
I'd hate to think he was holding out on
me from sense of pure stubbornness /
never could abide stubbornness in chill
drcn, and If thought for an instant Baby
was showing that qualification Id soon
knock il out of him. young as he is. Per
sonally | don't believe in allowing chill
drcn to grow up wild like the weeds of
the desert They say time and tide cures
everything but ] don t believe in taking
chances with the future when the present
is so handy
As Mrs. Fink says, spare the rod with
child and you Il spoil them both Well,
tn, Ia. Love,
Tessie
Tomorrow Joe states his attitude on
official censors.

500 PC. PROFIT
IN ANTHRACITE COAL
Operators Are Accused by w.
lett Lauck Before Board
of PROTECTING.

Scranton, Pa.-Charges Of profiteer-
ing and monopolistic control in the
hard coal industry were made before
the Anthracite Coal Commission by w.
Jett Lauck, former secretary of the
War Labor Board and now consulting
economist Of the United Mine Work
ers Of America.
Mr.. Lauck appeared in hearings on
the demands Of the anthracite workers
for wage increases that will bring their
bituminous workers, with a minimum
wage of Sc day. He said the data
and exhibits he presented were all de-
rived from and based on official and
authoritative statistics.
"A survey Of the anthracite indus
try" said Mr.. Lauck, SHOWS an in
crease in net profits of the principal
operators for the period Of 1916-1918
over 1912-1914 of nearly 80 per cent,
as compared with an increase In pro-
duction Of less than II per cent.
I'm the case of seven representative
mining companies there was an in
crease in net profits of 60.7 per cent.
"The net income earned by these
companies on their capital stock out
standing during the period 1916-1918
ranged from 20.4 per cent to 1865 per
cent, as compared with a net income
in 1912-1914 ranging from Jap per cent
to 1879 per cent.
"Since its organization in 1910 the
Lehigh Valley Coal Sales Company,
at an average rate Of nearly 20 per
cent The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Coal Company since it's Or
ganization in 1909 has paid 300 per
cent in dividends and has accumulat-
ed surplus Of $5,973, 500, or more than
30 per cent Of Its capital stock out
standing.
"The actual increase in profits dur
Ing the war years of the coal compa-
MES which market their own product
is indicated by the income account Of
the Philadelphia and Reading Compa-
ny. This company, which had no SELL
ing device for concealing Its profits, in
creased Its production only II per cent
during the war years, but increased
Its profits nearly 500 per cent and its
profits per ton of output 435 per cent.
"A combined statement for the Le-
high Valley Coal and Navigation Com
pany, the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal
Company, the Lehigh Valley Company
and the Philadelphia and Reading Com
pany shows that the average annual
net income Of these companies advanc-
ed from $6,923, 595 in 1912-1914 to $13,-
1869 in 1916-191S, an increase Of &c.
172.837, or SO per cent. The available
figures for 1919 indicate even larger
.prof1ts for this period than the earn
ings reported for 1918"

This outing each year is looked for
by young and old alike. This year it
was held at the Palisade PLAY
Grounds, and Mr.. Leeger preceded the
party, putting up swings, etc. The
event of the afternoon was a baseball
game in which all the boys and grown
ups took part. 1t was worth the price
of admission to see Mr.. Sears and Mr..
Cause run bases. John r. FridlingtOn
played so hard he was in bed, with the
doctor coming to see him on Sunday.
Wallace Macdonald and Fritz Van Du-
sen were the team captains, and Char
lie Leeger did most of the "hollering''
at the Jump" when he struck out.
Most of the folks brought their suppers
to the grounds, and all gathered around
in big family party to eat as one
group.
