Ruth at the Conntr, Club began tc almost as bad as no legs, AS if in answer to a prayer for new hearts to conquer Jack swept ur with a furry in his crimson chummy car,
 There was nothing f1ustered, noth- ing hurried about Jack, although he left the motor running, throttled down. No one could have been more deferential or reassuring to Mrs Walden. She did not like the boy, but on second thought she was forced to admit to herself that she had nothing Ion" him. The conversation waited merrily 10 the chummy ear. Wouldn't you like to try the new boiler?"
 "Would I? Rune me over to Mer- rihew's garage. l want to see that wrecked boat of my own and give some instructions what shade ] want the body done over in. l feel lost without wheel in my hands. You won't wind, Mummsy-for d little while?"
 Mrs Walden was powerless. She had wanted Ruth to stay on. But she had her cut from he own daughter After all if was she who would have to sweep the older gos- sips of their ears" ..-s....
 Ruth may have dressed to impress the crowd at the club but it all went to Jacks head and he broke out in intense love making.

COUNTY LINE HIGHWAY TO BE
GRAVELED THREE MILES

Through the efforts Of E. N. Mead
or, who is in Jefferson City, serving
as a member of the new constitution
convention, he has resurrected
the matter relative to road project
No. 42A. This road is on the county
line on the north side of Kings Prairie
and joins the graveled section of the
state highway on the east. The pro-
ject includes three miles, which has
been graded but not graveled and is
now very badly cut up.
Construction Engineer Kirk McFar-
land, of the highway department, is
sending officially an order to District
Engineer Dunlap at Joplin to begin
advertising at once for bids for finish
ing the road.
The papers in this matter had been
pigeon holed at Jefferson City. At the
insistence of Mr.. Meador, the matter
was investigated and it was found
that all the conditions had been COM
piled with except the blanks certify
ing that the necessary funds are on
deposit in the bank.
1t is expected that the advertising
will be made and the bids for the work
opened and the contract let early in
August.
The three miles in question are the
worst piece of road between Monet
and Verona on the state highway. AL
though grading has been done, the
soil is of such nature that vehicles
cut it into ruts and ridges. In wet
weather cars mire down and can get
through with difficulty. 1T is very
necessary that this road be put in
good condition to make good road
through to Verona.

SIZER & GARDNER REPRESENT
-. STRIKING RAILROAD CRAFTS

The law firm of Sizer & Gardner
has been employed by the national
organization of the striking railroad
craftsmen to represent them before
the Federal Courts in Missouri, in the
matter of the pending injunctions
against the employees.
/ F. P. Sizer, senior member of the
firm, and one of his associates, Judge
Allyn Smith, will leave tonight for
Kansas City where they will first ap-
pear in the Federal Court in the
equity case wherein the Frisco Rail-
way Company has brought injunction
proceedings in the Western District of
Missouri, which cause is called for
hearing on the preliminary Writ of
Injunction at ten o'clock on Thursday
morning; Judge Cottrell of the West
ern District of Oklahoma will preside
in place of Judge Van Valkenburg.
The firm has been retained to rep
resent all of the brotherhoods on all
of the railroads having injunction PRO
ceedings in any of the courts of the
Western District of Missouri, which
gives this firm a national reputation
in this particular. Messrs. Sizer and
Gardner have been representing the
local lodges in Monet ever since they
went on strike, and largely by reas-
on of their advice and counsel to
refrain from all unlawful acts, Monet
has been free of disturbances or
trouble of any kind between the
striking men and company employees.
Mr. Sizer stated that it would be
the policy of his firm to recommend
at all times that tine brotherhood
crafts refrain from all unlawful acts,
and that no matter what the final
outcome might be, so far as the injunc
tions are concerned, he believed the
cause of the strikers will be best
subserved by obeying all orders eman-
ating from duly constituted authori-
ties.
Mr.. Szer also stated that there was
a vast difference between lawful
picketing and unlawful picketing, and
that while there were two sides to
every case, yet he realized that his
clients had a great cause which was
and that if this cause
was rightly understood, by the rail
roads and public generally the strike
would soon be ended.

PAvES WAY TO
---. OPEN COAL MINES
Operators Say They Will Follow Exc
cutiye's Proposal and Make Ell
fort TO Start Up Properties

Washington, July 17-President
Harding today invited bituminous
mine operators who notified him at
the White house of their acceptance
of his offer of arbitration in the coal
strike to return to your mine proper
ties and resume operations"
The president in statement issued
after the delegation of bitiuminous
operators left the White house said:
"We have not reached point, owing
to the refusal of the mine workers
and minority of your operators TO
accept the proposed arbitration, where
the good offices of the government in
seeking voluntary adjustment of
the dispute between mine operators
and mine workers are without avail"
Says He Is Disappointed.
1t was stated at the White house
that the president told the delegates
that he was disappointed in their lack
of unanimity.
"A ldl &c ilcJOihCy VI tllC OpCIdNOLc
it was said, pledged readiness to re-
sumo activity under the governments
proposal" The president told the
operators, "that the freedom of action
on the part of the workmen and on
the part of employees does not measure
in Importance with that of public well
fare and national security"
The statement said the coal oper-
ators "extended verbal and written re-
ports to the president" all of them
ascriIbing broadly to the proposal for
arbitration. A majority of the dis
tricts accepted the proposal uncon-
ditionally, it was stated, while a
minority of the districts represented
in the conference joined in subscribing
the general principle of arbitration
and collective bargaining.
