WHAT CHEER THIS wi>IERa

Events in the coal fields Of late seem to justify the hopes that the mines will shortly he operating and that a break will he made in the pro duction that will stave of an utter coal famine this winter although thera is little question but there will he a more or less acute shortage of fue', nartie,larly in anthracite, commonly used fer heating homes. Tho tonnage Of the country is far behind what IS necessary to sustain it and il will take at least a year to catch up with the mines operating at full blast. But there seems to be a feeling that we shall "get by" somehow, which may or may not be justified by this win ter's developments.
 Granted that full production at the mines was started immediately the element of another strike, that O the railroad shop workers has a bearing on the situation that Is far from rleasant to contemplate. Granted that we had a sufficient supply of coal at the mines, the rs 10 carry that coal to the country at large are lacking in large numbers indeed, due fo tn, iN ability of the railroads to keep their rolling stock up to normal Conditions in the car repair shops may improve with the unskilled labor that is now being trained but they are not bright just at present and each day that passes is making things a great deal verbal stitch in time" is lacking, or has been lacking, and. as a conse- Quence, repair work gwill be more costly and more extensive when it is done.
 Out of grand total of 2,544,on0 freight cars 1t is said that about 300,o00 are in need of repairs Normally, according to information given out by Julius H. Parmalee. di- rector of the bureau of railroad econo- mics, there is from [ to per cent of the freight cars laid up for repairs. Today, according to the same in- formant, there is about 14 per cent needing work done and the number is increasing rapidly.
 It still remains a question whether the new railroad repair men will have reached such pitch of efficiency that they will be able to overcome and work down the percentage of cars needing repairs at once, or whether the percentage of out of order cars will increase. A speedy adjustment of the coal strike. with the result that we shall have some coal at the mines, together with the solving of the re- pair difficult ties either by settling the strike or building up the new per sonnel, will insure enough coal to 20 around, with rigid economy, but the failure of either one situation or the other to be settled soon means a cold winter for all.
 The man along the street, the un- willing and innocent sufferer in clash es between labor and capital regards the problem with misgivings. He knows that he, ultimately, will be call ed upon to pay the fiddler who plays for the other fellows dance and is not regarding the prospect of paying up with any noticeable joy.

NEVBERRY' ENDS
SENATE BATTLE; Il;
Resignation Interpreted a:
Spelling End of Battle
On Eligibility
fBy United Press)

Washington, Nov. 21-Truman FL.
Newberry of Michigan, whose right
to place in the senate has been a
subject of long and bitter controver-
sizes has submitted his resignation
with request that it become effect
i've Immediately.
In letter to Governor Grocs-
beck, made public here, Mr.. New
berry said he had been impellcd to
retire voluntarily because of the de-
feat of his Republican colleague,
Senator Townsend, in the election of
November. In the turn of events he
said it would make it futile for him
to attempt his public service since he
would be continually hampered
by partisan political persecution. v
Reviewing the outstanding features
cf the controversy, which grew out
OF his election four years ago over
Henry Ford hsi democratic oppon-
cnt, he declared his right to seat
in the Senate had "been fully confirm
cd" He added that if, in the future
there seemed to be possibilities for
public service he would not hesitate
to offer himself to his state and his
country.
The resignation brings to an end
the fight which already has made
political history and which, it ap-
peared, would be resumed early in
the session of Congress which be-
gan yesterday. Convicted of a con-
spiracy in Michigan Of an attempt
20 violate the election laws, Senator
Newberry appealed to the Supreme
Court, which declared uncOnstitution-
a! the statute under which he was
accused.
The senate. itself, after long in
vestigation finally confirmed his
title to a seat by a margin Of five
votes. In the campaign just closed
the case was an issue in many states.

BERTHA FARMER,
NOTED SOPRANO
1,ISTED TO SING :
:HERE THURSDAY
Local Music Lovers Offered
Rare Opportunity; Second
Number of Course
Comes Highly Recommended ;
Capacity House Expected
to Greet Her Here

Miss Bertha Farmer soprano whose
work has already established for
her an enviable position in the mus
ical work, will appear at the Meth
odist church Thursday evening, Nov
cmbcr 23, as the second number Of
the entertainment course being stag
ed under the auspices of the Bemidji
State Teachers college this fall and
winter.
Miss Farmer comes very highly re-
commended. Press comments from
various large cities where she has
appeared praise her highly. The
Spokeman-Review of Spokane, Wash
ington, pays her a rare tribute, stat
ing: "Miss Bertha Farmer charmed
the big audience not only with her
remarkable soprano voice, but also
with her exceedingly sweet and at
tractive personality. Aside from
Schuman-Heinke, we do not believe
any singer who has appeared here in
many years has SO delighted and fas-
cinated her audience.
Other press comments by the score
give her unending praise and Bemid-
il music lovers are assured an ex-
ceptional opportunity to hear her at
a very nominal price.
Miss farmers first operate ex-
perience was in comic opera at the
age of seventeen, when she sang with
the Tivoli Opera company of San
Francisco, and in the same theatre
where Tetrazzini and Alice Nelson
began their musical careers. She has
appeared as soloist with the Los An
geles Symphony orchestra, with the
Mancini Opera company of New
York, the English Grand Opera COM
pany and at guest performances with
the San Carlo Grand Opera COM
pany under Fortune Gallo.
She is typical young American
woman, of sweet and modest demean-
or, unbounded ambition, and splend-
id artistic attainments. 1t is con-
sidered a rare good fortune that
makes her services available.

President Gives Congress His
Ideas on Establishing
Government Subsidy
URGES CONGRESS TO
SPEED UP PASSAGE
Supporters of Administration
Measure are Aroused to
Greater Activity
(By United Pross)

Washington, Nov. 21--In a fight
ing message, President Harding today
dared the foes of the administra-
TONS Ship Subsidy bill to assume
the responsibility for defeating it,
declaring that no proposition placed
before congress ever made "a more
resolute hostility"
The president in message deliver
ed in person to the extraordinary
session of congress challenged his
opponents to meet the issue fairly.
The president devoted practi ically
all of his message to a vigorous ad-
vocacy Of the subsidy, mentioning
only one other national problem
additional relief for agriculture. {.
Other questions will be dealt with
in his message to the regular seS-
sion of congress which will meet on
December 4th.
This problem can no longer be ig-
nored," said Mr. Harding. ''Its at
tempted solution can no longer be

to act decidedly will be no less dis
astreus than the adverse action"
Carrying the fight with aggressive
ness to the enemy's camp, Mr.. Hard
ing said he challenged every insinua-
ton of interest in enrichment of the
situation at the expense of the. public
treasury.
II am, first of all, appealing to
save the treasury"
Throughout his speech, the pres
idcnt argued that the Subsidy would
save money to the treasury because
of large losses still being piled up
by the shipping board. These were
estimated at $50,00O,00O, while the
president said the cost Of the Subsidy
would be half that amount.
The executive made Il fervent plea
that America again be raised to a
position of eminence among mari
time nations of the world.
Washington, Nov. 21 (By Paul R.
Mcllon) President Harding brought
the Ship Subsidy to congress in per-
SON today with a prepared messag"
of elucidation of his ideas on the
establishment of government sub
sidy under the United States Ship
ping Board to promote the American
Marine.
The chief executive appeared be-
fore the joint session of congress at
1890. The presidents advocacy of
the Ship Subsidy in the face of strong
opposition in congress constitutes the
real task of his leadership.
The message urged congress: ito
the greatest speed in the passing of
the shipping mcausre already before
the house,
Hc asked minor changes. in the
original plan as outlined in his last
special message to congress.
The personal appearance OF the
president was designed to arouse sup
porters of the administrative meas
urc to greater activity in it's behalf
With this new impetus, it is expected
that no successful opposition can be
stirred up against the measure the
