PAPER STR|K
ON MAY FIRST
IS EXPECTED

NEW YORK, April 22.-Unless
meditation settles matters within the
next week the greatest paper strike
in the history of the United States
will be launched and as a result pub
fishing houses, newspapers and job
plants will face paper shortage of
serious character.
Over fifty paper and pulp mlls are
involved. The men want an increase
in wage and the manufacturers longer
hours and wage cut. These mills
furnish much of the newsprint used
in this country. Their closing would
leave all of the publications short OF
paper and with only few days sup
ply on hand.
The strike has ben talked of fol
sometime but not until the last few
days was there any doubt expressed
that it would not be possible to medi'
ate. However it is hoped the matter
will be satisfactorially settled before
May 1.

Buy Your Coal Direct
From Mine-Big Saving

The high cost Of coal Is thing of
the pastl At least, there are no COM
plants on this account-since the re-
moval Of government restrictions
among those who have learned how to
buy coal. The way to buy coal is to
get it direct from the mines. This
saves several middlemen's profits. 1t
saves hauling expenses. Anyone can
now buy at mine prices, whether a
carload buyer or one who uses only
ten or fifteen tons a year. This has
been made possible through a plan
evolved by large and old-established
concern, THE BERNICE COAL COM
PANY, with main offices at $50 Como
Building, Chicago.
This company has thousands of Gus
toners in various sections of the
United States who receive all of their
coal direct from the mines. These
customers are pleased not only be.
cause of the many dollars they save
every year, but also because of the
quality of coal they are getting. Many
write that they never before had Goa
that makes so little dust, that burns
so well, leaving so few ashes. If yor
are coal user-whether you use hare
or soft coal, much or litle-it will bt
greatly to your advantage to writ,
the BERNICE COAL CO., at once fol
prices, stating kind and quantity o.
coal you use. Adv.

How Young's Creek Ii
Audrain Was Named

"Young's Creek, north of Mexico,
was named by Benjamin Young, the
second man to settle in that part of
the county. He located there in 1921.
He was native of Stokes county,
North Carolina; had been raised by
the Indians, and married squaw for
his wife. In the same county there
lived woman named Mary Ring,
who was captivated by Benjamin's
prepossessing appearance, and pro-
posed matrimony to him. He told
her that he was already married to
the squaw, but had no desire to see
her carried away to an untimely
grave from the effects Of broken
heart, and that if she would whip the
squaw she might take him.-She ac-
cepted the proposition, cleaned out
the squaw, and claim her reward.
Young was not the man to go back
on his word, so he dismissed the
squaw and married the white woman.
The result proved good, for they
lived pleasantly and happily together,
and the devotion Of his new wife to
him increased as they passed down
the stream of life together. In 1853
Mr.. Young put his young wife and
worldly goods on pony, and started
on journey to Kentucky, which he
performed on foot, with his rifle on
his shoulder. They lived in Kentucky
two years, and then settled in Howard
county, Mo-, where they lived unit
1921, when they moved to what j:
now Audrain county, and built theil
cabin on the bank of a stream since
known as Young's creek. For man!
years they were the only persons wh'
lived in that part of the county, ant
they never saw the face of fellow
creature except when some travelle
would get lost and wander that way
or a solitary hunter would stumbl
upon their humble habitation.

ON BOARD THE L. S. S. PENN
S4LVANIA. February 7.-War-time
routine was being observed today on
board the battleships and destroyers
of the United States Atlantic fleet.
The warships, which left Callao late
on Saturday, were steaming south
ward along the Peruvian coast to
meet the United States Pacific fleet
which left Valparaiso. Chile, on
Saturday. headed north. The two
squadrons were expected to meet at
any time in a sham battle which
would closely approximate conditions
encountered in war time on the high
seas.
President Augusta B. Leguia. presi-
dent of Peru. has sent to Admiral
Henry B. Wilson, commander of the
Atlantic fleet, a message expressing
his qualification at the visit of the
fleet to Peruvian waters, felicitating
the admiral upon the good impress
sion made by officers and men and
the beneficial effect the call of the
fleet at Callao will have upon rela-
tons between Peru and the United
States.
The coming of the great Atlantic
fleet to our waters" said President
Leguia's message, was a demonstra-
ton of double significance which was
important from moral and material
viewpoint. First, ITS cordial visit per-
sonifies that of the great nation
which throughout the whole world
has left Impressions of respect for
right and justice. Officers and crews
demonstrated by their gallant and
friendly actions the proof of affection
toward Peru. The presence of the
fleet likewise was a demonstration of
the heights the young and vigorous
North American republic has reached
in science. industry and the arts
This development is guarantee
for human progress and well being,
since the United States uses its
strength only for serving ideals and
supporting legitimate aims This is
the ineffable remembrance which the
friendly visit of the Atlantic fleet
leaves with me and the Peruvian
people. LEGUIA."
