UNCLE JOHNS POEM
A DITATIO

AS l set on the porch, after sun
down, an placidly puff at my cob, my
thought sorter drifts to the Teller that
works hisself out of a job. The one
that rebels at his pittance, an envies
the man that has more,-there amt
a square inch on his person that don't
hold a chrOnical sore. Sometimes he
busts loose like a panic, an strives till
he's mighty nigh dead-an' then he
lays down like a dummy, and never
gets nothin' ahead! He's either a.
tearin' the bone out. or, THROWN spec
~tacular fits, until, like a blame balky
~critter, he humps a few times, an jes'
quits!
You can take it all over creation,
and you'll find what l tell We is so,-
the most on~-dependable yahoo, is the
one that's too quick to let go. For
life is a trip over mountains, or, may
be through bottomless chasms, and
the Teller that aims to complete it
had better not monkey with spasms
l take off my hat to the brother, whose
daily performance must teach, that il
pays us to love one another, an stick
to u job like a leech!
Your Own,
UNCLE JOHN.

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922.

What do you are about the scandal
monger, Nothin'. Just smile at him.
Amt he putin you on the map? All
you need worry about is that what he
says isn't so. Everybody'n find that
out by an by an then you'll be bet
ter off than ever-if you keep on smil-
in. The man who knocks you'll help
you more than the man who boosts
YOU. because the boosters likely to
paint things up just as much as the
knocker and when folks find out
you're not a white winged angel. they
may wonder if you're an angel at all.
Opinions don't cut much figure any
how, an there's no use trying to stop
folks from haivn' 'em because they're
like measles, bound to be. We don't
have to improve on what God made
US. If we just be what he made us,
we'll be about right. an he made us
to smile, particularly on the poor fish
of a silly corner gossip.

PROPOSAL
FOR ARBITRATION IS
PARAMOUNT ISSUE

WASHINGTON, May 81. - Peru's
proposal that her old dispute with
Chile over the sovereignty of Tacna-
africa be submitted to arbitration re-
mained today the paramount issue Of
the Chilean-Peruvian conference.
Although some scattering advices
regarding the attitude of the Chilean
home government had reached its
delegation here, it was said that moth
ing that could be considered a final
reply had come over the cables from
Santiago
By some observers it was believed
that several more days might elapse
before the Chilean foreign office
would take decisive action on the Pc.
ruvian proposal, which was regarded
universally as having gone directly to
the heart of the controversy by sug.
gesting that the question of the feas
ibility of plebiscite in the disputed
province be included in the issues to
be decided by the arbitrator
In other quarters. however, there
was confidence that the Peruvian plan
would be accepted either in whole OF
in part without extended delay and
that today or tomorrow might see i'm
portant conference developments.
The Chilean delegates themselves
would not discuss the outlook, except
to say that their optimism over the
outcome had not been diminished
They indicated that any prediction
they might make regarding the for
eign office decision would be no more
than a guess.
In this situation the conference is
giving some attention to lesser issues
which can be discussed without de
tailed instructions from home. 1t was
understood to be the the purpose o.
continuing exchanges on these detail,
that today's joint session of the twl
delegations was called.

PAINTED BY ADAMS

Wayman Adams, famous American
portrait painter, who is in Indiana for
a short time. has been in Richmond
for the past two days painting a por
trait of j. f. Bundy, famous American
landscapist resident here. The por-

Mr.. Bundy's portrait and, with George
Calvert, another Indianapolis collector
and connoisseur, accompanied Mr..
Adams to this city and was in Mr..
Bundy's studio while the first sitting
was given.
Mr. Calvert and DR.. keene, while
in town, were the guests of John W.
Nixon, of Centerville, whose collection
of Indiana art includes q number of
fine Adamses.

DESPERATE IS STILL
EVADING SEARCHERS
CBy Associated Press)

TEMPLET'ON, Mass, May 31.-After
a farmland, accused by John Merkell,
his employer, of trying TO poison the
Merkell family and livestock and to
blow him up with dynamite. was still
at large today with 10 sticks of explo-
sives. Members of the state constabu-
larry continued their combing of the
woods in an effort to find him. The
special police were on guard at the
Merkell home.
1t was feared that Savage. biding
his time while he lived on food taken
with him when he fled, would make
an attack on the Merkell farmhouse
at the first opportunity. He was said
to be experienced in the use of dyna-
mite.
The police were told by the Mer-
kells that the farmland was an un-
successful suitor for the hand of a
relative in Northampton. Discovery
that Savage was not as we'll off as he
pretended resulted in the marriage be-
ing called off, they said, and his en-
nifty.

TAKE SERIOUS VIEW
OF HALT IN PARLEY
IN IRISH SITUATION
(Bv Associated Pressl

LONDON, May 31.-A serious view
is taken of the halt in the negotiations
between the British and Irish delega-
gates by most of the political experts
of today's newspapers. Some describe
It as a complete deadlock.
It was generally expected that the
Irish leaders would return to Dublin
today in preparation for Fridays meet
ing of the Dali Eireann and it is
thought in some quarters that the ne
gotiations may be suspended pending
their expected return to London.
Meanwhile the restiveness among
the parliamentarians desiring a quick
settlement increases and there is an
indication of tendency among the
coalition conservatives to move to-
ward the side of the more extreme
Unionists.
Among the main unconfirmed rum
ors af1oat in London today was one
that the government contemplates
holding d general election on the Irish
question.
The anxiety over the situation on
the termdnagh border is unalIayed,
although nothing has been added to
late reports that the Irish Republican
army forces were we'll within Ulster
territory and engaged in consolidating
the ground won.
Some of the Irish correspondents are
inclined to believe that the situation
is one of alarm rather than of serious
results.
The Belfast correspondent of the
Westminster Gazette says compare
lively little really happened and that
the prophets who foretold terrible
events have been confounded.
The Republicans. he added, have en-.
trenched themselves on occupied terri
tory but have not advanced while Brit
ish troops are standing by. watching
events.

CHOICE OF PARENT
C0NFR0NTS YOUNG
MATHILDE MCCORMICK
(Rv Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, May 31.-Mathilde Nc
Cormick was back in Chicago today
to choose finally between her par
ents. The 17-year-old girl planned to
go into probate court. where Edith
Rockefeller Mccormick, her divorced
mother, last week reopened the guar
dianship proceedings in which the
girls father, Harold F. Mccormick,
tentatively was named as guardian.
In the final selection of a guardian
today Mathilde has at stake the mat
ter of approval of her contemplated
marriage to Max Oser, Swiss horse
man. who was her riding master dur
ing her childhood days at Zurich.
In the choice of her father. titular
head of the International Harvester
company, Mathilde had tacit approval
of her marriage to the Swiss, who is
more than twice her age. In selec-
ton of her mother lay apparent oppO-
sition to the Oser union.
Mathilde returned to Chicago yes
terday from New York, where she vir-
tually was halted at the pier in prepa-
ration for a voyage to Switzerland in
company with Julia Mangold, Oser's
former secretary, who had been Ma
thilde's guest.
Refuses Discussion.
The 17-year-old granddaughter of
John D. Rockefeller, Sr., refused to
discuss her, romance or the impending
guardianship proceedings and took an
automobile ride with her father who
met her at the train.
From indications it was expected to-
day that Mathilde would cast her lot
with her father and permit society to
speculate for a while longer whether
the betrothal to Oser would eliminate
in marriage or break in the engage
men through a convenient denial of
consent to the marriage by Mrs. Nc
Cormick. The Swiss law requires the
consent of parents or guardian for the
marriage of a girl of Miss MaCor-
mick's age.
Meanwhile from across the Atlantic
came rumors that Max was preparing
for a speedy trip to America.

HOOVER WILL
DECIDE UPON
COAL PRICES
Accepts Responsibility for the
Fixing Reasonable Charge
During Continuance of the
Present Strike.
SUGGESTION APPROVED
(By Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Secretary
Hoover today accepted the responsi-
bility for fixing a reasonable price on
coal during the continuance of the
present coal strike.
Opening the conference here today
of the union and non-union operators
of the producing field, Mr.. Hoover
declared that any agreement between
the operators looking toward the low
ering of the price of coal, even in the
interest of the public, would be lille
gal.
Therefore he asked the individual
operators to agree with him upon 4
reasonable price of stock coal during
the continuance of the present coal
strike.
Mr. Hoover's suggestion was ap-
proved by A. NJ. Ogle, of Indiana,
president of the National Coal asso-
citation, by Jesse Bailey, of West Vir-
ginia, and by B. B. Webb, of Penn
sylvania, president of the coal asso-
citation.
The conference followed preliminary
meeting of operators held here at the
request of President Harding about
two weeks ago, and was to consider
specifically plan of coal distribution
through cooperative committees re-
presenting both the producing and pur-
chasing elements which was approved
at the first meeting as means of
keeping prices at a reasonable level.
Had Price Fixed
Although the suggestion was ap-
proved at the preliminary conferences
that the level established by Fuel
! Commissioner Garfield during the
war be adopted as the basis to be ad-
hered to during the strike period, it
was declared last night by representa-
tives of retail dealers associations
that the operators here for today S
conference had agreed at an informal
meeting yesterday on a price program
calling for minimum of SO a ton
| at the mines.
1t was declared that a delegation
headed by L. w. Ferguson. president
of the Chicago Merchants association
| would present to Secretary Hoover to-
: day, formal protest against any
such price program being adopted OF
/ receiving official approval.
! 1t was declared by the delegation
that for much of the tonnage now con
/ tracted for, this price would mean an
! increase of 100 per cent, and that ii
would be much higher than the maxi
mum price charged during the war
period when production costs were at
! the highest peak.

MONEY ORDER SALES
INDICATE BUSINESS
OF COUNTRY BETTER
PALIADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON. May 31.-U c ! e
Sans most dependable barometer for
registering of business conditions in
the country has finally registered the
passing of the prolonged industrial de-
preston. This barometer is located
in the government printing office in
the division which prints the postal
money order blanks. 1t registers with
keener accuracy than. any statistical
collecting agency in the federal serv-
ice, and right now it registers good
business
The postal order printing branch
of the government printing Office gets
closer to the people, the spending pub
lie, than any other federal service.
Millions of people carry on financial
transactions not through the medium
of bank checks, but with postal money
orders. When times are bad these peo-
pie do very little buying, and the postal
money order business is Immediately
effected. When business picks up and
unemployment is reduced to a normal
figure the demand for postal money
orders is resumed at once. Right now
the demand is brisk, for the first time
since 1919.
Practically every postoffice in the
country has authority to issue and pay
money orders. These orders are is
sued to the postoffices in book form
and they must keep a certain number
on hand When a postoffice gets down
to the minimum of its supply of pos
tai order blanks it must order more
through the postoff1ce department and,
in turn. when the departments supply
gets low it must order more from the
government printing office.
Realize Depression
When the people who use postal
money orders begin to hoard their
money and cOnfine their purchases to
necessities the pOstmasters find that
they do not need to constantly send
in orders for blanks Work in the pos.
tai order printing branch of the gov
eTnment printing Office becomes dull
then and Uncle Sam realizes that a
depression cloud is forming.
Once the cloud has passed the post
office department begins to receive
orders from pOstOffiCes throughout the
country for postal money orders. and
the plant which prints the blanks once
more huns with aCtivity-its barome
ter reads people are spending again
1t is even possible to determine
! through Uncle Sans "sure-hit" baron
eter whether business conditions il
one section of the country are improv
| ing faster than in another section
whether the boom is in agriculture
districts or in the industrial centers.
