WOODMEH TAKE
IN A LARGE CLASS

The Modern Wocdmeu of tnis place
took a fine large class of line young
men Tuesday esening, napberias :
seventeen.
This is the first work of tha sJrt
in Raymer for close to ten years.
As we had no team at this place,
and even the 'old timers had for.
gotten the most they had ever known
about the ritual, the Brlggsdale team
very kindly came to our assistance
and gave the class the benefit Of their
experience. They stated that they
were new at the work; but 1t seemed
to us that they were seasoned veter-
ans and exemplified the teachings OF
woodcraft in a way that will remain
with the candidates all of their life.
There were II in the Briggsdale
team, and Raymer Woodmen will re
member them with kindness ami
gratitude for many moons.
We take 1t as h peful sign OF a
return to more sane and sensible
things and correct view Of life
and its responsibilities when SO large
a class of boys think Of providing
for those who have claims upon them
rather than spending all their sub
stance for pleasure.
The wives of the local Wocdmen
rendered fine service TO the cause by
serving supper TO the members, Wis
itors and prospective class Just be-
fore the camp commenced work,

LISTEN TO THE CRY
or The STARVING

In spite Of all our troubles, we are
not starving; we have plenty TO eat
and do not know what it Is to be
hungry. In Europe thousands are
starving for the lack Of food. How
can we enjoy the comfort Of our own
warm homes and not aid in some
way the distress OF these innocent
unGOrlunates?
Efforts to fill car at Bucking-
ham are meeting with more than
fair success. Mr. Amber has the
promise from the Denver elevators
along the line for over 10000 pounds
OF beans, some split, Others not split;
but the splits make good food, while
ol little value to sell, and they will
help to keep some waif from starv-
ing. Gather up something and no
lily Mr.. Amber that 1t can be had,
or take 1t up there.
Then they want to send 800 suits
oi clothes This does not mean for
you to discard your clothes before
you have worn them out; but gather
up few gunny sacks, as each sack
will make suit for these naked
ones,
: Don't you think you will enjoy
your Christmas better If you have
helped some with this work?

Goethe, the Great German Poet Visits Saarbrucken
Forest and Discovers the
Philosopher of Coal
No. iii
(ToId In Eight sketches)
BY JOHN RAYMOND
THE PHILOSOPHER OF COAL

In III, there lived in the forest near
Saarbrucken, in Germany, chemist
named Stauf. He was an eccentric old
man who had an idea, far ahead OF his
times, that many things beside coke
could be obtained in the combustion OF
bituminous coal.
otauf had constructed number OF
ovens over burning mine and treated
coal so that he obtained oil, pitch, coke
and SCOT. That was quite forward
step and although he lived in the
depths Of forest the great minds OF
Europe heard OF his work. In fact,
Goethe, himself made pilgrimage to
the ovens OF the far-seeing chemist
and in his autobiography wrote strik-
ing comment on his yisit TO the Saar-
brucken forest:
Ready and glad to pour his COM
plants into human ear, the lean
decrepit, little man, with shoe on
one foot and slipper on the other,
and with stockings hanging down and
repeatedly pulled up in vain, dragged
himself up the mountain to where
the pitch house stood which he had
built himself and saw with grief now
falling into ruins. Here was found a
connected row Of ovens in which coal
was to be freed from sulphur and
made fit for use in the iron works;
but at the same time they wished also
to recover the oil and pitch, and in
deed, did not want TO lose the lamp
black, so that all failed together or
account Of the many ends in view"
Goethe, who dubbed the chemist oil
Saarbrucken 'Kohenphilosoph' or the
Philosopher Of Coal, wrote his com.
mentary less than a century and hall
ago. What would be his comment to-
day could he enter one OF the grea

PERMANENT LAW WANTED
Proposal To Reduce Taxes On High Incomes D=aws Fire of New Jersey Member of the House-Auto
 Tax Is Approved.

Washington.-Sug Suggestions for new taxes made by Treasury Secretary Mellon apparently found little support among members of the House Ways and Means Committed Some com mitteemen were plainly outspoken, while others, without entering into the arguments advanced for or against the proposals, said it was their judg- ment that the committees efforts should be directed toward easing the existing burden.
 With this object in view, the Repub- liean members of the committee had before them Chairman Madden of the Appropriations Committee; Eugene Meyer Jr., director of the War Finance Corporation, and Director General Da- wis of the Railroad Administration MT Meyer and MT. Davis were called in to discuss railroad financing and the chairman of the Interstate Com merce Commission probably will be questioned later on the same subject.
 Chairman Fordney said the purpose was to get specific information as to the financial needs of the government and then to determine just where cuts can be made. He said MT. Myer told the committee that under the plan re- gently submitted to Congress by Pres ident Harding, the railroad financing could be taken care of without more than temporary assistance from the Treasury from time to time until se- eurities proposed to be issued can De marketed. Should this prove the cast. it was said, material cut could be made in the Treasury estimate of $4,- 675,000,000 needed for the government next year, as that included S545, ,UVU,- 900 for the railroads.
 Chairman Fordney also explained that the new tax law will be designed to run for some years, and that the rates should not be fixed for such a length of time on conditions believed now to be only temporary. He thought there should be immediate reductions of $500,000,000 or more in taxes, even though that brought about deficit at the end of next year. This could be wiped out, he added, by revenues af. ter expenditures have returned to something more like normal.

HARDING DEFIFD BY
 AGRICUL TURF BLOC
INSISTS ON ADDING TWO lMPOR. TANT MEASURES TO THE
 SENATE PROGRAM.

Washington President HardiRg's efforts to induce Congress to take a recess received another setback when the Senate Steering Committee yield, ing to demands of the agricultural bloc, added two more important meas. ures to the legislative program of the present session.
 The two measures are:
 The Capper-Tincher bill 10 regulate grain exchanges as amended by the Senate Agricultural Committee.
 The Kenyon bill to give the farmers representation in regulating the na. tional banking machinery by making the secretary of agriculture a member Of the Federal Reserve Board.
 The two bills, the Steering Commit tee decided, will take their place on the Senate calendar for consideration in the order named immediately after Che anti-beer bill is passed
 The committee took no action with regard to the much discussed question of giving tax revision precedence over the tariff bill. Members were of the opinion that this problem had not reached stage as to call for action.
 The Capper-Tincher bill has been passed by the House, but it has been amended by the Senate to make it somewhat less objectionable to the grain exchanges. The agricultural bloc has been insisting that action be taken on this measure at the pres ent session.
 At the conclusion of the vehement attack upon the administration and aide-tracasing his $1OO,OOO0OO farm ex. port corporation bill, Senator Norris of Nebraska, chairman of the AgrlcuI- tural Committee, collapsed as a result of exhaustion due to heart weakness and the heat
 He fnisSed his speech of several hours length and walked into the Re- publican cloakroom, where he crum. pied into heap. Several of his col. leagues carried him into a nearby committee room, where first aid was administered by Senator Ball of Della. ware, a physician, before he became q enator. Later Senator Morris was re- moved to his home, where it was said his condition was not serious.
