The Chronicle agrees with Lord
Grey that it is better to have America
in the league at almost any terms and
The Morning Post on the contrary
regards the league as more danger
Gus to Great Britain than to America;
dissents from Lord Grey's advocacy
of the American reservations and con
tends that if America is to be admit

other nations must also have special
reservations.

OPERATORS OF MINES
TELL OF COAL PROFIT

Washington, Feb. 2.-Submitting
statistics on the net earnings for 1919
OF representative bituminous mines
producing more than 80 per cent. of
the total output in the central COM
petit've field, operators told the coal
strike settlement committee today
that If the present Id per cent. wage
increase were applied throughout the
year 1920, these companies, on q basis
OF their 1919 tonnage would "realize
less than 1 per cent, net return on the
capital investment"
An increase in wages above that
amount, they declared, would mean a
correspondingly greater deficit below
the recognized equitable return of 6
per cent.
Figures introduced by the operators
showed, they said, that if the IA per
cent. wage increase had applied
throughout 1919 the mines embraced
IN the Pittsburgh coal, producers as
sociation which turned out more than
22,OOQ,O00 tons, of Is per cent, of the
total output of the central field, would
have faced deficit of more than Sc
100000 or 80 cents a ton, a basis of 6
per cent. return on capital invested.

Watches, Diamonds
 and Jewelry

Rushing off to just the first jewelry store you come to isn t always a wise policy. We couldn't do business that way. We know jewelry through years ofexperience. You may judge a garment by feeling of it, by stretching it to test its elasticity, but when you buy jewelry you buy on the stores word more than any other guide post.
 The distinct leadership of the store has not come by guess or chance, not bad or new mo- tions, but by proven things. Our many years of experience in the, field proves our ability to choose the things of best quality and price.

MINSTREL TO INCLUDE
 VARIETY OF FEATURES
Elks Put Last Touches to Big Com pany Ready to Present Minstrels
 Varied Numbers on Program.

An entertainment which the Elks
 propose to make an annual feature 1T
 Conway and in preparation of which
 no effort has been spared to make high class and enjoyable from cur
 tain to curtain, is the big minstrels
 shows Monday and Tuesday night at Hauber's Grand theatre Rehearsali
 have been under way for some time under the capable direction of Clint
 Draper of Chicago, and the special and ensemble numbers will be given their final touches at rehearsals to- night and previous to the first show Monday night. Something out of the ordinary and a whirlwind of ierrI- mens is promised by MT. Draper and those aiding in putting on the show, and a glimpse at rehearsal5 full bears out the promise of the trainer.
 Minstrelsy, big chorus numbers, skits and just about every thing cus- tomarily seen on the stage, except ing high brow drama, goes into he offering which the Elks will submit to the public. The chorus numbers with an immense number of voices excellently trained by MT. Draper will be an attractive part of the big bill. Not far behind is the skit, Conway in the year 20O0,' the parts in which will be carried by local young men, The "suffs,' politics, re- ligion, science and a few other sub- jects are given handling in the skit. which is well calculated to bring dovn the house. Solos, quartets, solos V ilh chorus, dancing acts and other spec ialties will round out a complete rro- gram.
 Audiences which flock out D. the big shows will not be tired by long program, despite the many features of the bill. MT. Draper is confden5 that fast work from 8:30 to II o'clock will put everything through, a forecast which does not reckon with the encores and curtain calls which the crowd is certain to demand of the numbers which score the biggest hits.
 Mir. Draper is an experienced theatrical man. Since leaving the stage, he has won a national reputa- tion in the preparation of Elks min strels, and his repeated appearances in strong Elk towns is proof posi- tive of the class of his work. From Conway he will go to Little Rock and put on the annual Elk show there. His bookings already take up his time far into the summer, and it was only lucky open date on his sched- ule which made possible his work here. He is more than pleased with the company organized for the min strels, and is sure the show here will be up to his usual high standard.
 Conway people made a rush for seats when they were placed on sale Friday at Florence's drug store. Both Monday and Tuesday night seats were taken in numbers, but a glance at the boards today shows that others, if they act promptly, can secure good seats. From the demand already ev- ident, theatre goers can hardly wait until Monday and be sure of satis- factory seats.
