COAL SCARCITY FICTITIOUS

WASHINGTON - Especial CORE
spondence) Startling testimony has
been given before the Senate Commit
tee investigating the coal situation to
the effect that officials of the Govern
pent made huge sums in coal trans
actions, as much as 100000 being
realized on a single deal. The infor-
nation was forthcoming in executive
session of the committee, and the
names of the officials involved were
not divulged, but it is probable that
action will be taken looking toward
their prosecution and appropriate
punishment. Witnesses before the
committee deprecate the idea of a
coal shortage, and charge the present
high prices to the Governments at
tempt to fix prices artificially and the
false warnings of a shortage dissent
mated by some Federal bureaus, caus-
ing consumers to become panicky and
bid against each other for coal re-
gardless Of price. 1t appears that this
year there is a larger supply of coal
than ever before in our history, and
if the law of supply and demand is
allowed to take its course there will
be proper distribution with reason
able prices.

THE GOOD HUNTER

Is there such hunter? Evidently
there is. Edgar A. Guest knows him,
and this is what he heard him say:
"Fact is, there are times that I'd rather
miss
Than to bring 'em dOqvn, coz I feel like
this
There's heap more joy in HVing
thing
Than a breast crushed in or a broken

An' I can't feel right an neVer zviH
When look at bird that I've dared
to kill
OH, I'm just plumb happy TO tramp
about
An' fOllOqV my dog as he hunts 'em out,
Jus 7vatchin' him point in his silent zoay
Where the Bob Whites are an the par

For the joy O. the great outdoors PVe
had,
So zchy should I care if my aim is bad?

AGRICULTURE PAYS

Effect of Agricultural Education is
noticed in the results Of student pro-
ject.
Each student in the High School
Agricultural Departments is required
to carry a project in which he applies
the things which he has learned If
the things which he has learned are
of value, his yield is increased and
if the market is normal his profits are
increased.
One boy in the Dover department
raised SO 1-2 bushels of corn on the
acre, whereas the average is less
than so bushels per acre. One boy in
the Harrington school raised 472
bushels of tomatoes per acre. A boy
in the Bridgeville Department raised
444 baskets of tomatoes per acre.
One of the boys in the Caesar Rod
ney Department had a total net profit
of $581.67 with six head of cattle. One
of the herd was found to he losing
money and was sold for beef, so that
this profit was really made on five
head.
Education of this sort pays.
