A Color Scream"
When Mabel, moddishly attired,


Appears upon the scene,
Her skirt is fashions latest word,
Her sport-hat shrieks of green.
Her belted coat is plaid so loud
You could almost hear it shout,
Vociferous scarlet is the bag
She gaily swings about.
Her yellow gloves are so pronounced
In style they all but speak,
Her boots are crying out the fact
They're new because they squeak
Her wooden scarf of vivid rose
Completes the clolor scheme
1T is no wonder people say
That Mabel is q scream.

The Christmas Season

The Christmas Season
Christmas dawned upon us so sud
denly, we could hardly realize it had
come again. It's days are brief but
affords opportunity for friends and
kindred to meet in reunion, mingle
short time together with loved ones
and call back younger days and pleas
ant memories, young hearts and filled
with gaiety and fun and the world at
large feels glad. Soon the days pass
and we are again lost in a world of
business and wonder what another
season will bring forth.
Here are some that came to visit
and spend the days at home: Miss
Corine Scott, of Union City; Mr. and
Mrs. Jesse Warren; Mr.. and Mrs.
Dewitt Gufin; Guy Mayes; Misses
Nix; Miss Irene Mayes; Mr.. Berry
and children; Miss Hoffman, and Mr..
Henry Morris, of Atlanta.
Miss Mae Ward closed her school
for the holidays with an entertain

Midway Sunday School and PRAYER
meeting and Xmas exercises Sunday
night.
There are several vacant farms
around here and it appears to us that
all of the land will not be cultivated.
We are looking for better prices
and better times in 1922, and don't
think all the honest men are dead ;
yes! there are thousands that have
not bowed the knee to Bael.

 Chairman Benson's order came while President Harding and his sec retaries of labor and commerce were consulting on the advisability of ap- pointment of a commission of three to mediate the controversy. The sug- gestion that such a comission be named was made by the union repre- sentatives who agreed to abide by any award it would make.

SAN FRANCISCO. Calif., April 30 An order directing the sheriff to bring Thomas Mooney, convicted of a Bomb murder, to San Francisco from San Quentin prison Monday to testify in proceeding designed to release him, was obtained today by Mooney's counsel. The proceedings will seek to show that Mooney was convicted through fraud He is serving a life sentence. The writ supplements one granted yesterday directing that Moo ney be produced in court.
 What is writ of .Audita Querela Don't know ?''
 Neither did the legal profession of California until it was sprung here recently by Attorney Thomas c Par ker in last ditch fight to free Thos. J. Mooney from San Quentin peni- tentiary. where he is serving a life sentence for the famous 1916 Pre- paredness day bomb explosion.
 The writ. which originated in Eng land in 1887 and has been rarely used since, is so unusual that the district attorney whose duty it is to fight the writ, has been unable to find de- fense against it.

WASHINGTON April 90. = The housing situation with high rents is today the most serious problem con fronting the government, in the opin- ion of Secretary of Labor Davis.
 It is in just such situation as Davis describes that congress and the state legislatures. under the su- preme court ruling, have the power to enact emergency legislation curb ing rent hogs.
 Davis holds high rents the great est single barrier to readjustment such as is essential to permanent prosperity.
 Because of high rents and inad- equate housing." he says. families double up. sometimes two or three to home. It is not too much to morals due to the housing conditions in many cities today is one of the greatest dangers to our whole so- cial structure"

 In some cities the birth rate oi l illegitimate children has increased | 50 per cent.

U. s. Government Awaits Supreme
 Council Meeting
TRepubIican A. P. Leased WIreJ

WASHINGTON, April 30 The next move in the reparations contro- versy by the American government will await the outcome of the su- preme council meeting at London
 The allied governments have been acquainted with the American point of view as a result of the conferences with Secretary Hughes has had with diplomatic representatives of those governments.
 This view is that Germany must pay to the limit or her ability but that the imposition of such terms as would prevent her economic recupe- ration should be guarded against.
 This is in accordance with the views of the allies.
 Events may so shape themselves it was said, that a further move by the United States will be unneces- sary. Should the supreme council decide that the German proposals are of such character as to form the basis for renewed discussions, il was explained that it would not be necessary for the United States to transmit the German offer to the allies as they already have received copies from Berlin.
 If the supreme council decides 1AOWSvCAp ti1l tuC OkleE IS uHacceRL- able, it is understood that some fur ther move by the American govern ment might be expected. It is sug- gested that since Germany already has indicated semi officially a will. ingness to put forward modified pro. posals it may be that the United States would suggest such a course Both President Harding and Sec, retary Hughes are giving. close at tention to Che whole situation.

He declared Pittsburgh was desig. mated the passing point by common consent among the general trade lont before the United States Steel cor poration existed. It has secured sta bility in business, which has beer of substantial benefit to the genera trade. he said.
 Until recent years the system wa | satisfactory to everybody concerned he continued, but lately complain 1 has been made by residents of local I ities other than Pittsburgh, alleginl l that the custom resulted in buildin up Pittsburgh and vicinity to tn prejudice of other places
