such as Billy Woodchuck and Jimmy
Rabbit and ,old Mr.. Crow. And
though some of the older sheep paid
scant heed to so young a lamb as
SNOWFALL, Mr.. Crow often went out
Of his way to stop and talk with him.
That was because Mr.. Crow loved
bit of gossip. And he was willing
to chat with anybody on the chance
Of picking up some interesting morsel
OF news.
"We're going to have a treat
SNOWFALL informed old Mr.. Crow one
day.
The old gentleman cooked his head
on one side and looked at SNOWFALL.
"How do you know you are?" he
demanded. He was great one for
asking questions.
"The Muley Cow told me-" Snow
ball explained. "Down in the barn
she heard Farmer Green tell Johnnie
about it."
"Ah, hap cried Mr.. Crow. "I'll
have to keep an eye on things. If
there's going to be a treat l must
get my share Of it. Where's it going
to be-where do you expect to have
this treat?"
Right. here in this pasture!'
That's good" Mr.. Crow ex-
claimed. "I'm glad of that. can
enjoy it, then. | feared it might be
in the barn. And l like plenty of
room if I'm to enjoy treat prop
erly."
SNOWFALL began to feel bit un-
easy.
F"The Muley Cow didn't say any
thing about you're being invited" he
blurted. In fact, she said that this
treat was for US sheep only!'
Don't you worry about that" the
old gentleman assured him. II know
well enough that if Farmer Green
didn't mention inviting me it was be-
cause he forgot it. l know he
wouldn't like it if I stayed away"
SNOWFALL began to wish he hadn't
mentioned the treat to Mr.. Crow.
But the secret was out. And when
Mr.. Grow asked when the treat was
going to be, SNOWFALL confessed that
the Muley Cow had told him the
flock would enjoy it that very day.
"Ah!" said Mr. Crow with smirk.
Then l must stay where I can see
what's going on. So Pm going to
sit in that tall elm over by the stone
wall. When ! see the sheep begin
to bunch together I'll join you at
once :. Please bleat three times

And then Mr.. Crow got ready to
fly away.

"The Muley Cow said she heard
Farmer Green tell Johnnie TO salt

planned.
To his great surprise, old Mr.
Crow let out a deafening squawk
when he heard that bit OF news.

the pasture as can get!' he cried.

Eastern treaty there might be an
obligation to use American force to
keep Russia off China" Mr.. Under
wood replied:
mo but 1 don't say we wouldn't
do it."
This treaty is an absolute decla-
ration of rights for China on the
part of tie nations signatory," Mr..
Underwood continued. 1T is some
thing | do not believe has ever hap
pened before in the worlds history
to protect a weak nation until
she is able TO establish an effective
government and take her proper
place in the family of nations.
"All that's done in this treaty by
these nations is to guarantee among
themselves the rights of these peo-
pie, their territorial integrity, the
right to govern themselves and
equal opportunity to all in trade
and commerce.
Now you may criticize this treaty
and say that some of China's terri
tory has been taken and not return
ed. You may say that Japan has
occupied Manchuria and has only
promised to come out. think she
will come out.
But those are matters of the
past. There's no man on this floor
who can say that China's territorial
integrity and national sovereignty
isn't better OFF by the making of this
treaty.
There's no more altruistic treaty
ever written in the history of ma
tions and l believe it is for the great
good of the world as well as China. A."

ner farm, near the Rough River
locks, were arrested by Deputy
Sheriffs George P. Jones and Mack
Cook Tuesday, upon a warrant issued

German. At the same time German

so executed at the same time.

said:
"The operators agreed to con-
tinue the present wage scale exist
ing in the Western Kentucky fields.
This scale will be continued until
an agreement on the wage scale is
reached in the Central Competitive
Field, and then the Western Ken
lucky scale will be based upon that
agreement. There are $4,000 min
ers in District No. 23, and of this
number 5000 are union men. The
contract we made two years ago
with the operators, and which ex-
pires tomorrow night, provides for
its continuance if agreeable to both
parties. We are on our way to In
dianapolis to tell President Lewis
that the union miners of District No.
23 will not go on a strike tomorrow
night"
Men Live Up To Contract
District No. 23 includes Hopkins,
Webster, Christian and part of Muh-
lenberg Counties. The men working
in this district have a contract which
will not expire until April, 1928.
and the contract will not be violated,
according to reports. However,
President Lewis at Indianapolis an
nounced there was no change in

of coal miners is carried out tonight.
Lonnie Jackson, Central City,
president of District No. 23, West
ern Kentucky United Coal Mine
Workers of America, was in Indiana
polls today to tell leaders that the
strike vote Of union miners in his
district has been recinded. Union
miners in Southeastern Kentucky
will not suspend work, according to
advices from District 10 headquar-
ters at Knoxville, Tenn, while 9TH
or parts Of the Eastern Kentucky
field are on the open shop basis and
will not be affected.
e. w. Holt, of Central City, presi-
dent OF the Western Kentucky Coal
Operators Association, said that the
whole matter was "up in the air"
in his district Lonnie Jackson, the
miners president in District 23, told
him Wednesday Mr.. Holt said that
the men wanted to strike, but
Thursday he said, Jackson told him
they wanted to stay at work.
''Their Scale Committee met
Thursday, Mr.. Jackson informed
u.s." said Mr.. Holt, "and the senti-
ment was that they should remain
at work. They told us to go on and
work.
However, l am a little dubious
about it and hope the national union
won't force them to go out.
There are no negotiations going
on and no settlement has been reach
ed.
Would Affect Many Mines
"If the strike had gone into effect
as called, it would not have affected
most of the mines in Hopkins, Chris
tian, Webster and Union Counties,
as well as many mines in Ohio and
Muhlenberg where there are over
tapping contracts. These contracts
hold the men at work until settle
ment is made or readjustment is
put into effect.
