ticularly carriers reaching into the
producing bituminous fields. may be
taken oyer and operated by the fed
eral government.
president LEWIS of the mine
L workers made a definite move for
settlement of the coal strike by calling
a joint wage conference of operators
and miners of the central competitive
bituminous field. to be held in Cleve-
land August Z. Unfortunately, the op
orators, or mos of them. refused to
attend.
Meanwhile Henry B. Spencer, who
was appointed federal fuel distributor,
and his committee and subcommittee
began %functioning actively. According
to Mr.. Spencer's plan, the federal or
ganization will cover the distribution
of available supplies among the rail-
ways, federal institutions inc states,
and the governors of the states will
handle local supplies. State fuel com
mittees were called on to report at
once the consumption of coal in their
territories by utilities, industries and
households and to submit a list of
those who should receive priorities.
These state committees are also made
entirely responsible for the prevention
Of p%rofiteerlng and ~extortion in the
sale and distribution of coal within
their respective states.
Governor McCray of Indiana took
the o vigorous action yet reported
in the matter of getting out coal. The
miners of the state refused to issue
permits to sufficient men to operate
the mines for emergency purposes, so
the governor opened two strip mines in
Clay county under the protection of
500 state troops as n preliminary
measure and declared a state of mar
tial law to exist in that pagt of the
county. These mines are in the hands
of n receiver appointed by the federal
court, and the governor called atten-
ton to the fact that this places the
United States government behind
them. Mr.. McCray also called n con
ference of the governors of Pennsylva-
mia, Ohio, Michigan. Illinois, Kentucky
and Wisconsin. Governor Preus of
Minnesota says the coal situation In
the Northwest is more threatening
than ever, and he has asked the gov
errors of Iowa, Wisconsin and North
and South Dakota to meet with him
in st. Paul August 10. In Wisconsin
the bottom of the coa bin is in sight
and, at the request of the state fuel
commission. all ornamental and dis
play electric lighting has been discon-
tlnued.

CHICAGO'S street car strike came
" along according to schedule. Some
10000 employees of the surface and
elevated lines quit early Tuesday
morning and no attempt was made to
take the cars out of the yards. Motor
vehicles of all descriptions were called
into service and on the first day there
was a terrific congestion of traffic. BY
Wednesday the police, motor clubs and
individual motorists had worked out
a system that brought the situation
almost to normal, and many n Chica-
g0an began to wonder II the city
couldn't get along without the noisy
street and elevated cars. Also they
learned the worth of one-way street
regulations In the business center.
Toward the end of the week n
negotiations were resumed, but the To-
cal president OF the employees said he
saw no prospect for IN early settle
ment. The men are fighting not only
a proposed wage reduction, but n nine
hour day. Chances OF nm order by the
state public utilities board reducing

cage situation, and II was frequently

'The superfluous rain supply this
spring has been diastrous to the oats
CROP" said W. T. Anderson of the Boone
County Milling Co.. yesterday. Oats
should have been planted by March and
this has not been done yet. A late plant.
ing of this grain seldom does much good.
However, there is more oats in the eleva-
tors over the country than usual which
will tend TO regulate the price" he con-
iinued
Although there is about II per cen,
less wheat acreage this year than there
was last, the outlook for wheat, at least,
is fine except in the very low lands where
the water has stood and the wheat is be-
ginning TO become tinged with red" Ac-
cording to Mr.. Anderson this has not
done much damage yet.
Last years wheat is pretty well clear

J. L. Lynes, Of the Boone County Milling
Co. Not over 2 per cent of it is on the

y. and not ever 5 per cent is in The

The rains have brought the grass crops
out and there will be plenty of time for
the planting Of alfalfa and corn when the

Ii will be from ten to fifteen days after
good weather arrives before men can get

Another Voice on "This Freedom" /"

NOW the thesis of This Freedom" is
~ simply that woman who continues
her work in a bank perforce neglects her
children, allows them to become little
disbelievers, leads them to or let's them
become forgers, victims of abortion and
suicides, and generally smashes up the
home. Lacking the slightest respect for
Mr.. Hutchinson as a creative artist, we
are compelled to go directly to this thesis
and to state it in these terms. Inasmuch
as his characters simply do not live, he
cannot pretend that he is describing their
particular case; he is, and his somewhat
sanctimonious air makes it obvious, de-
scribing the general case: Everywoman
in Everybank. And in effect Mr.. Hutchin-

in the war he left London to manage the

Dog and Horse Stories.

A LII Americans, and some Englishmen,
"A are familiar with Alfred Ollivant's
masterpiece, Bob, Son of Battle" the
best dog story | ever read. Although
written by an Englishman and for Eng
lishmen, it attracted little attention in
the land of its birth, while selling by the
hundred thousand in America. l have
never met an American book lover who
had not read it, but the average Briton
looks blank when you mention it, even
if you remember to call it by it's English
title. "Owd Bob" Mr. Ollivant has writ
ten many books since 1898, but the one
that comes the nearest to Bob" is not
nearly so well known here as it deserves
to be. This is boy WOODBURY." the story
of race horse. Is it possible that John
Masefield took hint from this for Right
Royal? He follows Mr.. Ollivant in
printing a map of thee course. Alfred
Ollivant is certainly more interested in
men and women than in animals, and
unlike some novelists, knows the distinc-
ton; but his best two books are canine
and equine.-By William Lyons Phelps in

9 ONE one may say that the cave man

that Jack London and the multitude of

is very civilized and sophisticated and
moves in conventional society. Moreover,
rough, but was gentle as a child when it
came to women. AT least, that was the
