that word but | can tell you
what it means with this
story:
"Once | had All old Irish

Pat out. The servant met
met him at the door and told
Pat to go on up STAIRS to the

"Pat went UP, the carpet

the door and marched in.
The lady of the house was in
the tub. Pat took one look,
then removing his old hat,
said:

and marched out. Now,
that's diplomacy"

that seats cannot be booked in ad-

those who are anxious to get the

Coal Shortage Is
Causing Concern
tBy The United Pre- IS,

st. Louis, July 21.-Although pri-
vately owned utilities in Missouri re-
port a 40-day supply of coal ON
hand, they have suffered losses es-
timated at 100000 in increased
cost of fuel, shrinkage, in fuel
values, storage, etc, and there is
grave danger that unless the coal
miners return to work by August
/, many citizens of the state may
be without gas, lights, or running
water by September /, according
to information compiled by the Mis-
souri, Committee on Public Utilities
information.
Since the strike started, April
/, the utilities succeeded in keeping
40-day supply on hand. Addition
al coal purchase, however, is said
to be of inferior quality and to. cost
from so to 100 per cent more than
April prices. Coal is now selling at
$3.50 per ton, while the April price
was $3.50, for better grade.

Gov. McRae also declared that the
legislature blocked him in some of
his economy measures, a fact which
did not prevent his administration
from holding cash balance June
80 which is 100000 larger than
was held at the same date last year.
He also denied that the permanent
school fund of $180,000 had been
loaned the penitentiary.
His concluding attack was Oh
the Hartje amendment, which he de-
clared would automatically tax with
out the consent of the owners all of
the property within Improvement
districts.
Besides the Farmers Union, the
governor was heard by fairly large
audience of farmers. Charles S.

union, spoke from the same stand
