GALBRAITH IS NEW LEADER
Ohio Man Chosen National comman. der of American Legion at
 Cleveland Convention,

F. W. Galbraith, Jr., of Cincinnati, Cross and two French decorations for heroism in the Meuse-Argonne offen- sive, in which he was wounded while commanding the One Hundred and Forty-seventh infantry, was unani- mously elected national commander of the American Legion at the re- cent convention In Cleveland.
 Mir. Galbraith was commissioned major in the First infantry, Ohio Ma tional Guard, in 1916, and the same year was promoted to colonel. He was assigned to the One Hundred and remained in command of that organi- zation until the end of the war. He took part in the St. Mihiel drive and served in the Baccarat and Ypres- Lys sectors. Since 1908, Mir. Galbraith has been treasurer of the Western Paper Goods company of Cincinnati. He is forty-six years old.
 The convention elected the follow ing vice commanders: John G. En- ory. Grand Rapids. Mich.; F. J. Wins- lett. Sabeville. Ala; Thomas J. Gold ingay, Newark. N. J.: C.. c. Pendlll, Kenosha. Wis. and J. c. Scrugham, Reno, Nev. John w. Inzer of Mont gomery. Ala, was elected national chaplain.

the frost was out enough to admit to him blowing some sods. He plowed them, three inches thick and fl inches wide, and cut them into two-foot lengths with his ax, to the sad injury of its cutting edge. These sods were then built into wan like bricks, rest ing gently against the framework of poles, from which, however, they were separated by padding of grass, which Harris cut in a slough with his scythe, and small willows from the ravine. This mattress of grass and willows prevented any earth shaking through into the house itself A framework made of hewn log was inserted in the south wall to leave space for window, which should be bought when the family finances could afford such luxuries.

The rag carpet. when no longer needed as tent, would be draped in the doorway, pending the purchase of boards to make a wooden door.
 For roof grass was laid on the poles and covered tightly with sods. Then Harris found sticky, yellow clay In the side of the ravine, and two or three inches of this he spread carefully over the sods, like icing on great cake. The greasy clay soon hardened in the sun, and became so impervious to water that the heaviest rains of summer made no impression upon it.
 By this time the snow was all gone, except in north-facing hooks along the ravine and the frost was out of the sod in all places deep enough to admit of blowing. As the stock were taking no harm from the open air, thanks to the shelter of tC ravine, Harris de cided to delay tie construction of his stable until after seeding and to pro ceed at once with the blowing of his land. He had also to make trip to

SETTLEMENT NEAR
 IN BRITISH STRIKE
LLOYD GEORGE DISCUSSES NEW PROPOSALS WITH STRik-
 ING MEN.
REPORTS ARE OPTOMlSTiC
Emergency Bill Placing the Nation On War Basis May Be Held Up-Wage Increase Is Of-
 fered the Men.

London.-Premier Lloyd George, cabinet members and members of the striking coal miners. conferred three hours in the premier's official resi- dence. After the miners delegate' left the cabinet members continued in session with Mir Lloyd George. Frank Hodges on leaving with the other representatives of the miners said the discussions will be con tinued.
 After the meeting with the govern ment leaders the miners executive body went into conference, and then adjourned later. The conversations with MT. Lloyd George and the other members of the government will be resumed soon.
 One indication of a hopeful turn was afforded by report that the gov ernment cotemplated postponing the introduction in Parliament of it's emergency bill which would virtually place the country on war basis. The matter will be finally decided by a Cdplutt ldleE Ou.
 It is said the new formula, which the government has proposed Go the miners, will give the miners the two shillings advance. and will insure a substantial increase in the output of coal. Apparently only the pr1nclpies of the formula and not it's details were discussed at the recent meet. ing.
 The miners always have eontended. and in this contention have been supported by J. P. Thomas. secretary of the Union of Railwaymen, that 1t Is impossible that they guarantee the output of coal, because they do not control the machinery. They have ac. cused the coal owners of restricting output.
 Mir Lloyd George outlined ideas he suggested might ultimately lead to a peaceful solution of the situation. While the conference was in progress Barton Stamfordhom, the private sec retary of King George. arrived for a brief period.
 After the conference the miners delegates went to their headquarters. where they met the entire Executive Committee.

CHAPTER III.
The Shores of the Infinite.

The summer was a season of great activity and development. Harris did not SOW any crop after the first of June, but applied himself then to the construction of his stable, which was built after the same fashion as the house.
 As McCrae had predicted, there was considerable movement of settlers into the district, and at several points their tents or rude houses now broke the vast sweep of the horizon. Tom Morrison had found land to the satis- faction of his heart within three miles of the Harris homestead. and his big log house, 1Sx24, assumed the propor- tions of castle by comparison with the smaller homes springing up around Some miles to the east Dick Matheson, straight from the lumber camps of the Madawaski, had pitched his tent, and few miles farther on was his friend of the shanties, John Burton. To the west were the Grants, and to the north Hiram Riles and his wife, Eliza. A missionary had in some way spied out the field, and held monthly Sunday services at Morrison's house; and Dr. Blain, when not in one of his unfortunate debauches, had his headquarters at the new town of Plainville, which consisted of Semp- ter's general store and a stopping place" and which had sprung up near the junction of two streams in antici- patton of the railway.
 And so the first summer wore away and the first harvest was at hand.
