ONE day Nancy and Nick we're
~ playing down by the chestnut

ONE day Nancy and Nick we're
~ playing down by the chestnut
tree when Chirk Chipmunk came hur-
Tying along.
ooh, say, have you heard the
news?" he cried, running to the ,op
of stone and sitting IN his hind
legs in his excitement. He frisked his
tail this way and that Just as soua
people talked with theiI hands.
"Come With me both of you, and
I'll show you" replied Chirk mys-
teriously. Everybody in Whisper
ing Forest is talking about it and
they're not whispering either"
Off they scampered, the three of
them, and finally Chirk stopped at a
smooth, grassy place between the
blueberry patch and the hazel bush.
There it is" he whispered, pointing
straight ahead.
Nancy's eyes nearly popped out Of
her head with amazement, and Nick
whistled softly. For there was a
little new house with a new single
beside the door, which said Doctor
Snuffles would be inside whenever
needed.

What viii DR.. Mink say?1 said
Nancy. Wont he be cross?"
Gross! Humphy' said Chirk with
swish of his saucy tail 81 don't
think it makes much difference
about that. He got so old-fashioned
that all he could do was blood-let-
ting"
"The people of Whispering Forest
got tired of it and sent word to the
Fairy Queen. So s'pose this Doctor
Snuffles must be friend of hers"
At this very moment the door Of
the little house opened and an
odd-looking little fairy gentleman
stepped out He had knee-breeches
and buckled shoes and long coat tails
that trailed on the ground. Also
he wore wings embroidered with pic
lures of canary birds.
He had sign in his hand which
he tackled beside the door. The sign
said, Wanted. A bill-maker and a
bandage-roller at once"
Lets ask him if Wen do" whis-
pered Nancy.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY.

Let all those that put their trust
in Thee rejoice: let those that love
Thy name be joyful in Thee.-Psatm
SILL.
| tell you this for wonder, that no
man shall then be glad
OF his fellows fall and mishap to
snatch at the work he had.
Then all mine and all thine shall be
ours, an no more shall any
man crave
For riches that serve for nothing but
to fetter a friend for slave
For all these shall be ours, and all
mems, nor shall any lack a
share,
OF the toll and the gain of living in
the days when the world
grows fair.
William Morris.

with him business filled nearly all

One day when Barton, the archi-

him in.
"Thresh it out, you two," he said
at the doorway, q can't bother with

When he had gone, Molly and
Billy Barton avoided each others

Washington.-That a crisis has been
reached in the strike of coal miners
was emphasized by two major develop.
meHts Monday.
PRESIDENT Harding, after the accept.
ance OF his arbitration plan by the
majority of the bituminous operators
IN conference in Washington. told the
coal producers to return home and
open their mines. This request was
made in connection with statement
IN which the President reminded the
operators that Governments attempt
at voluntary adjustment of the dispute
mad failed and that coal was necessary
FOR the public welfare.
While no explanation was given as
TO the Administrators next move. il
generally was taken to mean that the
PRESIDENT would employ every power
possessed by the Government, includ-
ing the use of Federal troops, to pro-
tect the mines which were opened to
assure the country's fuel supply.
A. M. Ogle, speaking for the op-
orators after receiving the Presidents
instructions, said the employers would
make an attempt to resume opera
tions.
The other development which has
alarmed Government officials. opera
tors and leaders of the miners was the
battle near Wellsburg, w. Va, be-
tween striking miners recruited in
pennsylvania and Brooke county au-
thorHies and mine guards in which at
least four men were killed, including
the Sheriff of Brooke county.
This battle, during which several
mine buildings were burned and prop
erty damaged to the extent of more
than $4,000, coupled with a similar
outbreak at Herrin, ILL.,, several weeks
ago, is regarded as showing that the
idle miners are getting beyond the
control of their leaders and as fore
casting other serious outbreaks if Fed
eral troops are ordered to protect
mines.
The outlook for an early settlement
or the railroad strike became little
brighter Monday when it was an
nounced in Chicago that negotiations
looking to an agreement with the
shopmen had been resumed by the
Railroad Labor Board. Several execu-
tives Of roads and leaders of the strik-
ing shopmen were in conference with
members of the board.
Reports indicate that the strike is
spreading to other rail employees. Sta
tionary engineers, firemen and oilers
went out Monday. They were joined
by 25,O0O trackmen, who laid down
their tools despite the efforts of their
president, E. F. Cradle, to keep them
at work. Clerks on number of lines
are taking a strike vote and it is pre-
dicted the majority OF them soon will
join the walkout

ENJOYS DECLARE
FARLEY At END
Soviet beside to Quit Confer
ence Following UItimatum
FURTHER TALKS ARE FUTILE
Discussions Wrecked BY Communists
Stand On Seized Property
Hoped Soviets Would
Yield

The Hague.-The Russian delegation
issued statement at Thursday night
announcing that The Hague confer
ence was definitely over. Maxim Lit.
vlnof, head of the Soviet delegation,
said he planned to leave for Moscow
Sunday.
The decision Of the Russians to with
draw followed the action of the other
principal powers in serving notice on
the Soviet delegates, through the sub
commission on private property, that
in the light of the views expressed
wednesday by the Russians concern.
Ing the restitution of foreigners prop
erty In Russia it would serve no use.
ful purpose to continue the meetings
with the Russian commission"
The resolution was forwarded to the
Russian representatives and also to
the full commission of The Hague
conference. While it was regarded as
the first formal step for the conclusion
of the conference hopes were enter.
tanned that the Soviet delegates might
make radical retreat from their
stand and prevent official adjournment.
Following upon the action of this
subcommission the members of the
Credits Commission agreed this after
noon to inform the Russians tomorrow
that as the property negotiations had
failed there was no reason for continu.
ing the discussions on credits.
Thus another step toward definite
rupture was taken. A joint meeting
on credits was scheduled for Friday
morning.
Earlier in the night The Hague was
thick with rumors that the Russians
had received instructions from Moscow
admitting of the resumption of the dis
cussions. M. Krassin declined to com.
ment on this or similar reports, includ-
ing one that at Fridays meeting the
Russians would submit a conciliatory
statement which might serve as
basis for renewed pourparlers.
The European experts planned to
call meeting of the full non-Russian
commission Monday and have the
meeting adjourn until next Wednes-
day for approval of the reports of the
three subcommissions which were be.
ing prepared.
The resolution adopted by the prop
erty subcommission was officially COM
municated to NJ. Litvinoff by M. Patyn,
president of the Central Commission.
One OF the Russian delegates said that
M. htvinoff had asked President
Patyn to arrange for passports for the
departure of the Russian delegates.
The same spokesman strongly at
tackled what he termed the brusque at
titude of the non-Russian delegates in
making further negotiations impossi-
Bile, adding that they had at least ex.
pected more ceremony in ending the
conference.
I'VE have acted here like business
men," he declared, I'VE said we would
talk about compensation for property
when Russia was in a financial posi-
ton to give compensation. Our aim
hrst will be to make a general agree
ment with England"
1t is reported that the opinion pre-.
walls among the Italians and Swiss
that the property negotiations were
terminated too suddenly.
