WOULD ABOLISH BARGAINS.

One of the novel proposals made to the federal department of commerce, ac- cording to Secretary Hoover, has been brought up by representatives of retail CTS, who ask the department to coop crate in campaign to persuade mer- chants to maintain a general price level without reducing some articles to draw trade. It can be seen that this is general attack on bargain days and special prices. The general public will approve the federal department in refus- ins 10 interest itself in the matter.
 To the average person the proposal seems as mysterious as movement among anglers to insist on fishing with out bait. It Is a matter of general be- lief that as a means of moving slow stocks and stimulating trade in dull sea sons bargain days do at least as much for the dealer as they do for the GUS toner. National shopping habits are firmly based on the bargain system. Not only has the shoppers calendar it's great fixed festivals, such as January sales. August sales, and sales devoted to spe- cial lines. of goods, but there are hun dreds of movable festivals and daily sur prises for which the newspapers are eagerly scanned. The hideous monotony of life without bargains is something hardly to be imagined.
 The anti-bargain movement has little to commend it, speaking from the point of view of the average shopper Least of all does it appear how this should bo thought good time to interest the gov ernment in a ban on bargains. Poor 1 old Uncle Sam may never be able to buy at bargain, but there are times when it is highly expedient for him to sell that way, as he has been doing for the last two years. Until the affairs of the United States shipping board are wound up by one colossal white ele- phant sale the government by all means should cling to the ba9g&7 system.

A TON OF COAL.

Scarcely any subject has been 2 more fruitful source of argument In the last few/years than the price of ton of an- consumer. One authority after another which have been received with more or less satisfaction.
 Among the latest who has been trying Ito get at the cost of mining a ton of anthracite has been Dr. George Otis Smith. director of the United States geo logical survey, who took as tho subject of his Investigation ton of anthracite coal, going to the books of the producer which had an aveTage-cost mine. The conclusions which Director Smith reaches are interesting.
 On the basis of . ton of 2,24e pounds, he starts with the labor costs and finds that labor. inside. puts ss.7s into the ton. Labor, outside, adds 72 cents more, powerhouse and general colliery 20 cents, administration { cents Then there is material. inside, wfihich adds sS cents and material, outside, 64 cents. Further additions to the mine cost are reserve, local taxes, 1S cents, insurance, compensation, hazards, 27 cents, and de- preciation. depletion, IT cents, all mak- ing s7Os as the total mine cost. Some thing more Is yet to be added in cents for selhng expenses, and 5S cents for margin" for dividends, federal tax on income, etc, which brings the price f O. b. at the mine to s7.75.
 Dr. Smith in giving these figures points out that the cost apportioned to egg size is necessarily higher than the average cost for all coal produced. Forced, by the competition of cheaper soft coal, to sell large proportion of anthracite al a loss, naturally the larger sizes have to bear a larger share of the cost oi | production.
 The difference between the mine price and the price the consumer pays repre- sents freight, handling and retailer, profits in which the mine producer has no share.
 The cost of labor alone in almost any mine is now more than the selling prict at the mine before the war. This is the main reason why tfe consumer has tt pay more now than he did then

 Yet General 0'Neill who had been at Buffalo with one detachment of troops managed to arm his men. He and his followers crossed into Canada, captured Fort Erie and fought two battles, both of which the Fenians won. Then O'Reil found that the expected reinforcements were not coming to his aid. With hii little ill-equipped fierce he could not SC ahead fighting EnglaAd's whole Canadian power. He was obliged to abandon tht strong position he had captured and re treat to American soil.

MEETING HIS DOOM

The pretty ands youthful wife came over and sat upon the arm of her hus- bands chair and ran her fingers through his carefully brushed pompadour.
 Well, what is it now?" asked her kus- band, who had been married long enough to learn few things.

ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN
 HISTORY
THE IRIsH-AMERYCAN FENIANs.


 A political association of Irishmen in America known as the Fenians, an off, shoot of similar organization in Ireland, whose object was the overthrow of Eng fish authority in Ireland, began getting a foothoA1 in this country in 1s5Ss The growth If the society was very rapid, and the Civil war gave the Fenians great opportunity to obtain military training. A large part of the Irish soldiers en- gagged on both sides in the struggle were FeRians. and at the end of the war there was a formidable number of trained sol- diers ready to fight for Ireland.
 When the Civil war was over an army of Irishmen, 240, ,0G0 strong, with head quarters in New York, was secretly re- cruited to invade Canada. Money was raised for the secret purchase of arms Rifles and cannon were cheap, now that i the war was over, and large supply of 1 both were at hand. Skilled agents were many recruits as possible. There was no lack of good material. Irishmen who had been forced by hunger or oppression to leave their own land were eager to strike this blow at their English foes.
 r The Fenians had sub-societies in sey. eral large cities, New York being the central point of the movement. Thes | counted on non-Irish veterans of the Civil war joining the conspiracy becaust of England's unpopular attitude toward the United States during that war.
 To allay suspicion, the invaders began l to arrive ia small parties at varioui points along the Canadian border O these there were no fewer than 35 ,00l veterans under General Sweeney, an ex officer of our own army.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Pilgrim Pageant at Plymouth


 Mir Editor: We arrived in Plymouth in time to attend the opening night of the wonderfully spectacular pageant given in twenty scenes and covering the period of early New England, history from 1903 to 1921. The first scene rep resented 'Norsemen crossing Cape Cod Fay in their Viking boat landing on the shores where they were attacked by wild Indians and their leader Thorwald was wounded by poisoned arrow. An other scene in which we recognized Capt. John Smth trading with the h. d dans for skins and Indian corn. In 1920 the Mayhower was seen approach ing on the ocean bringing 1920 Pill grims who stepped onto Plymouth Rock (now once more in it's original position on the waters edge) This pageant was divided into four episodes, one of which was the signing of the famous compact in the dimlY lighted cabin of the Mayflower as she rides at anchor in the beautiful moonlight. The electric lighting effects are remarkable, bringing dawn and fad ing away into the twilight. The speak ing from the immense stage made of sand on the long beach could easily he heard by the thousands on the seats erected on Coles Hill. making a vast amphitheatre seating 10000 people
 The whole town is in gala dress, flags and bunting everywhere and across the streets stretch banners bearing the names of many prominent May1ower Pill grims, Mary Chiffon" Love Brewster "Myles' Standish," "Oceania Hopkins" and many others. The brilliant costumes of the more than 1,4O0 performers and the | spectacular effect of the last scenes would be hard to equal as they all kneel on the ground during the singing of the | choruses by three to four hundred voices. | The accompanying bands added much 1 to the immense volume Of music The | whole effect made us realize more than ever, what those Pilgrim men and women | endured those first years to give to us our Land of the free and Home of the Brave"

Fore Fire Department Improvements

Fore Fire Department Improvements
 Mir. Editor: On looking over the fire department inventory of apparatus I find that our fire department consists of one bumper, two chemical machines and two runabout machines This is the to- tai of our motor aparatus. We have one aerial truck, one small ladder truck and two steamers all of which are horse drawn. The aerial truck is drawn by horses owned by the department which l understand will have to be replaced soon owing to old age The steamers and truck are drawn by horses procured from livery men and in these times very hard to procure. Surely any reasonable person can readily see that our fire de partment is not adequate.
 Year after year the fire commissioners have recommended moro fire apparatus and year after year their earnest appeal has had a deaf ear until now we are on the verge of serious breakdown.
 Why don't our city fathers, and fire commissioners do something about 1t or will they wait until we have a serious fire with loss of life and workmen thrown out of work in case one of our largo industries burn up. Penny wrse and pound foolish seems to be soma peo- ples' motto.
 Talk about permanent road improve ments, why not make permanent fire improvements, something that will stay with us and not be washed into the catch basins.
