The anthracite coal workers have pre-
scented their demands which include q
SIX hour day, wage increase of 60 pei
cent, time and a half for overtime and
double time for Sundays and holidays.
The operators informally express the
view that if the demand is granted the
cost of coal will be higher for the con-
sumers and the consumers generally have
little doubt that such would be the case.
1t seems to us that the anthracite coal
workers propose to slap the public in the
face The real fight is between the
workers and the operators of the mines,
but the public should be the controlling
factor in the settlement Of the contro-
versy and some day the public will settle

The THAT f1ARKENETH UNTO
COUNSEL IS WISE"

hen President Wilson asked for the
resignation Of Mr.. Lansing the reason
given was that he wanted to select some
one whose mind would run along with
his. The fitness of that someone" for
the proper and able management of the
highly important position to be filled was
not mentioned as being of any Importance
whatever. When Moses had led the chill
-dren of Israel out of the land of Egypt
and had safely gotten across the Red Sea,
he decided to choose 'rulers of thousands,
rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties and
rulers of tens" preparatory to what he
planned should be brilliant and memoir
able entry into the promised land. 1t so
happened that about the time when Moses
was making up his list of eligibles, his
father-in-law, Jethro, made him visit,
and after looking over the list, that wise
old man said to Moses: 'The thing that
thou doest is not good. Thou wilt surely
wear thyself away, both thou, and this
people that is with thee; for this thing is
too heavy for thee; thou art not able to
perform it, thyself alone. Jethro then
advised Moses to "provide out of all the
people, able men, such as fear God, men
of truth, hating covetousness; and place
such over them to be rulers of thousands,
and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties
aud rulers of tens"
t<Moses hearkened to the voice of his
father-in-law, and did all that he had
aid. EXODUS XVIII.

An aviator recently succeeded in estab-
fishing new altitude record. Just how
many feet he rose above the earth does
not matter. The important fact is that
he went higher than any other man had
ever flown. lie then fell five miles, when,
coming into a denser atmosphere, he
swung round in wide circle and hit the
earth. The machine was smashed, the
aviator was taken to the hospital and the
doctor said he needed absolute rest.

The department of justice says it has
taken action to determine The profits
taken by shoe retailers in this country.
If there was any reason to believe that
any investigation by the department of
justice would be pushed with vigor and

CATION should commence with the "bie

What in effect is strike vote has been
taken among the thousands of workers in
Lawrence, Mass, who are mem bers of the
Amaleamated Textile Workers of Ameri-
ca. The ballot which was circulated seeks
to find out how many workers want a
forty-four hour week and so per cent
increase in wages. 1t would be much
more sensible to find out how they can
hold their present Jobs without an in
crease of hours and decrease of pay.
Some men and women who have a for
ward look are worrying about that.

All other committees were formed, in
GLIDING parsonage, welcome, and depart
ments of work of various kinds.
The business being completed the
question of pastoral support was con-
sidered, in the result that fifty dollars
$50 increase was voted after which
Harry c. Stanley, by desire, voiced the
appreciation of church and community of
the pastors year of service with an ur-
gent and cordial invitation to return for
another year. The District Superintend-
ent having acquiesced, the pastor readily
consented after thanking Mr.. Stanley
and all he represented.
In common with all rural communities,
many changes have taken place in recent
years, the period of transition is always
difficult one, but steady perseverance.
patience and tact, with reliance upon Dr.
vine assistance. eventually chases away
a natural disbursement through chang
ed conditions bringing to pass brighter
prospects.
The pastor, Emma E. Harrison, wishes
to place on record, the rallying power al
ready in evidence, the helpfulness and
sustaining power of number which bids
fair to increase, making possible the
more quickly, quickening influence cal
culated to extend the kingdom of our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, the only
real uplifting force being in and through
redeeming grace, thus fulfilling Isaiah's
prophecy, SIS chapter, verses II and r.
For We shall 60 out with Joy; and be led
forth with peace; the mountains and the
hills shall break forth before you into
singing; and all the trees of the fields
shall clap their hands. Instead of the
thorn shall come up the fir tree; and in
stead of the brier shall come I'D the
myrtle tree; and it shall be to Jehovah an
everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
The prospect of this fulfilment has
largely its secret as found in Exodus
18th, verses II and IL, "When the people
hold up the leaders hands the Church of
God prevails.
After motion for adjournment and the
benedlctlon given by the Dist Supt, the
Rev A. E. Luce, was brought to close
the fourth quarterly conference of 1919

ensuing year

Stockton Springs Happenings Always In
terest Our Readers.

After reading of so many people in our
town who have been cured by Doan's
Kidney Pills, the question naturally
arises: "Is this medicine equally success
full in our neighboring towns2" The gen
erous statement of this Stockton Springs
resident leaves no room for doubt on this
point.
Mrs R. l. Moore, Depre St, Stockton
Springs, Me-, says: 81 have used Doan's
Kidney Pills off and on for several years
when suffering from attacks of backache
and other troubles caused by my kidneys
not doing their work right. After an
operation, | was miserable and didn't
seem to regain my strength. | was taken
down with a severe attack of kidney
trouble and the pain in my back was al
most unbearable. Doctors treated me,
but diln't help me and finally l began
using Doan's Kidney Pills. Thy brought
almost immediate relief and not only
cured the backache but corrected the kid
ney trouble and helped me in every way"
Nearly eleven years later, Mrs. Moore
added: Il think more highly of Doan's
Kidney Pills today than when l first
recommended them. The cure they gave
me at that time has been permanent.
Price 6Gc. at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Moore
had. Foster Milburn Company, Mfgrs.

The General Electric Company sent
proxies to its stockholders Monday so
that they could vote on the question of
selling $4,000 shares or less to en-
ployees of the company on the partial
payment plan. In announcing the plan
c. A. Coffin, board chairman of the
company, said:
1T is proposed that the subscription
price shall be substantially the market
price at the time the offer is made,
payment for the shares to be made by
periodical deductions from the payroll.
In order that all complexity and detail
shall as far as possible be avoided
there will be no allowance or adjust
ment for interest either on payments
made or on unpaid balances, but upon
completion Of the subscription pay
ments the company will give q credit
to the employee which shall represent
approximately the net return had he
been an actual holder of the stock and
had received the dividends thereon
from the date Of his subscription.
sit is proposed that an employee
whose subscription is Cancelled because

Quoted from his pay, with interest at
