boro, and pocket book was all that
was needed to frisk John.
One of the con" men was laying
for the sucker at the cotton plat.
form. John, as he drove up with
his cotton, looked gullible The con
man wormed himself into his con-
dcncc by helping him throw off his
bales at the platform, a courtesy
any negro from the country is GER
tain to appreciate on the part of
well dressed member of his race.
He allowed the stranger to ride
back to town with him.
John and the con man became
warm friends. They walked the
streets, the stranger even accompa-
nying John to look over Il horse that
white man wanted to trade him
for one of his mules The inspeC-
ton of the horse being completed,
they Sauntercd down Franklin
street. Seeing q crowd gathered at
the veterinary stable of DR.. AleXan-
der, they went down TO see what il
was all about. A mule had been
hurt While watching the opera
ton, John and his con friend saw
another negro, also we'll dressed, |
pick up a pocket book. Both went |
to the side of the man, who was no
other than the partner of Johns
companion. They watched him
open the pocketbook and heard him
cNclaim "ThcreS $2l00 in it."
TO cut the story short, the con"
man who found the purse offered to
divide with John and his compan-
ion If they wouldn't tell of the find.
But, since the bills were marked,
he would have to get his boss, a
Northern man, to dispose of them
so as to avoid detection. The boss,
he felt sure, would give them $2,100
of his money for the marked bills.
He went off Immediately to get a
division from the boss, amounting
to 800 apiece.
He soon reappeared. Listen" he
said, the boss hasn't got change, but
if you both give me all the money
you have so | can make change out
of the big bills the boss carries, we
can make the division. He has :
agreed to dispose of the marked
bills in the purse, but he cant make
change unless we help"
unsuspectingly, wondering all the
while at his good fortune, John
shelled out his cotton money, $240,
and that's the last he has seen of it.

JERSEY CITY, Aug. 12-The
Lehigh Valley railroad has submit
ted to the commission appointed by
the Legislature to negotiate for the
abandonment of the Morris canal its
plan for disposition Of the water
way. The railroad company, as les
see of the canal, seeks to retain our

claims in all the other canal prop
erty, valued by 1t at $~17.672,Os0.
The canal extends across the state

80 Shi.- For Coal

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Fewer ad-
ditional ships will be made available
for coal cargoes from Europe by the
shipping board as the result of a
change in plans made known yes
terday by J. Barstow Smull. presi-
dent of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration. The board originally pur-
posed to take fifty ships out of the
laid up fleets to replace vessels en-
gagged in coal carrying, but this has
been cut to thirty.
The high cost of reconditioning
the vessels as we'll as the slump in
demand for coal tonnage were given
as the reasons for the change. The
total cost of repairs on the fifty
ships would have been $500, 900.
whereas through the elimination of
the vessels requiring the most work
the cost has been brought down to
a figure that the freight receipts will
more than cancel. Mr.. Smull made
1t plain, however, that the boards
irst purpose was to bring coal need
ed for American industry, and any
real need for shipping would be met
regardless of the expense.

METAL INDUSTRIAL
SITUATION THIS week

CLEVELAND. Aug. 12.-Concern
in the metal industries over operat-
ing and shipping conditions is in
creasing with the continued dead
lock In the strike situation, says the
Daily Metal Trade. Actual troubles
have been comparatively light thus
far. although some works have been
forced to curtail on e business.
In general however, the trouble has
been rather the inability of pro-
ducers to increase output against
continued heavy consumption OF
metals.
Two large selling agencies raised
their prices on copper to 14.12 liz
cents delivered. Others continued at
IA cents. Business during the week
was good, but tapered off at the end.
Total deliveries in July are estimated
at 100, 000,0 900 pounds against re.
fined production of about 10000
900 pounds. Brass foundry business
continues active. Brass rolling mill
products were not changed in price
this week with continued fair buy
ing.
Lead enjoyed ar unusually active
market. Zinc advanced from 6:15
cents a week ago to $3.50 cents: st.
Louis. Aluminium appears to be
waiting for more active buying.

LABOR DIFFERENCES FAIL
TO CURTAIL PROSPERITY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-While
the "retarding effect of labor diff
culties on industry is said to be
shown In Department of Commerce
figures received for the month of
June, these disturbances do not
seem to have affected the deeper un-
dercurrent of returning prosperity"
said a statement today.
Production in many industries
has been slowed down by the an
noyances," the statement added,
but there is a general feeling that
early settlement will be reached
and that business will continue to
gain In volume"
The wholesale price index showed
an advance of two points for the
month, reaching $50, as compared
with 142 a year ago. Practically all
commodities shared the advance, al
though slight declines in farm prod
ucts and general commodities were
noted. The Bureau of Labor statis-
tics cost of living figures for the
quarter showed no substantial
change"

HONEY PHILOSOPHY for 1922

Once upon a time there was a man
named Russell Sage. He died many
times a millionaire. He never spent
a penny he was not compelled to
spend. He bought his summer under
wear in the winter-time and his win
ter clothing in July. He paid fifty
cents for straw hats, when merchants
were throwing away their left overs
in September. Thus he amassed a
huge fortune, which two of his nep-
hews are now spending. They buy in
season with the money Sage left and
enjoy the buying with the human
touch Sage could not leave. He never
knew it. Buying in seasons spells
universal prosperity and human hap
piness. But buy early. The rush
stimulates prices. Everything needed
for Christmas is now in stock, and
the early bird catches the worm. The
worm may be foolish to get up, but
he's up in every store. So shop now.

SUNDAY SCHOOL DERELICTs

There are In the United States
twenty-five million boys and girls who
ought to be in the Sunday Schools,
but who are not.
The Sunday School is one of the
greatest agencies in America for the
education-the moral education Of
the youth of this land.
Through that moral education they
a be fitted for citizenship, for
domestic responsibility, and for re-
ligious service. The Sunday School
Is the greatest agency in America
today for the accomplishment Of
these purposes.
Christianity is a personal touch
and power because it deals with the
individual. Salvation Is a personal
affair. Sin Is a personal entity. There
fore, the Sunday School deals with
the individual child, brings him to
the knowledge of Gods Word, pre-
sents to him Christ, teaches him
Christian ideals; urges him to be
loyal to the government, true to the
flag; demands that he be temperate
sober, righteous, clean, industrious,
and faithful to home, to church, and
to God.
The Sunday School demands Of all
people undivided support, sympathy
