and editorials what must be done to
save the world" said Major Grlggs.
"a can only discern one essential tnat
seems vitali 1t is work.
"The world RECEIVERS slowly from
wars, but it does recover and the ap-
plication of the golden rule must not
be lost sight Of. Men who devoted
their talents and brains to destruction
are now bent on peace and prosperity.
We must eliminate not only selfish
ness of men but of nations. A duel
used to be satisfactory way to set
tie a difference. We have progressed
a little.
During the past four years we
have acquired many injuries, extrav-
agant habits and the customs that
must be eliminated from our business
life at once if we expect to secure our
fair proportion Of foreign trade.

MO0NSHINERS AT WAR
In NORTH CAROLINA
(By United Press)

Kinston, N. c., Jan. 17.-War mas
broken out among the moonshlners'
according to Arden w. Taylor, sher-
ifr of Lenoir county. AS a result the
factions and individuals engaged are
playing into the hands of the author
ities in their efforts to get one another
into trouble. :, e.,
Il has been bloodless war so far,
but if it should continue gunplay may
be INDUCED in. That is what the shcr-
ifs office is fearful Of
Wholesale thefts of moonshine
stills started the trouble. Some moon
sinners stole plants from other moon
sinners. 1t is assumed that the thieves
thought the losers would infer that
raiding posses had taken away the
stills. The famous underground IN.
telligence system of the "shlners'
aided the losers to relocate the stolen
apparatus, however, and then the
"grape vine telegraph was connected
IN with the sheriff's office here.
Anonymous messages brought accur-
ate descriptions of stills and their To-
cations. SO far the federal and local
authorities acting upon such infdrma-
ton have taken four "modcrn and
handsome" plants with capacities ag-
grcgating 800 gallons. An unstated
number of alleged operators are to be
indicted in the United States district
court.
Odd if any man can steal my
property like that and get away with
it," said a postscript to one tip
from an unidentified informant. The
intelligence. in this case resulted in
the raiding Of a 100 gallon outfit.

the right to this claim.

conference to-day between the Pres-
dent and Senator Watson of Indiana on
the soldier bonus. it WAS disclosed that
the President viii not take up the
bonus bill with the Finance Committee
Republicans again until his return from
his Atlantic City trip. He Will confer
with them next Tuesday. Earlier in
the week, it was the understanding the
President would send a communication
TO Senator McCuMber this week eH-
pressing his views on the bonus bill
and especially on the McCumber plnn
The Presidents plan is satisfactory
to the Finance Committee leaders who.
although they have talked about hur-
rying the bonus bill. are not anxious
to have it reported just at this time
and are now hoping that it can be held
back until the tariff bill is we'll under
way.
Talk in Finance Committee circles
is that the President and the advo-
Gates OF the McCumber plan arc not
far apart. but this is not borne out
by all the members of the committee
They say the President has made it
clear he does not like either the Nc
Cumber plan or the Smoot plan, and
that he wants definite revenue raising
provisions made, no matter which plan
is adopted.
Senator'S McCumber. Watson and
Curtis. who saw the President earlv
in The week. are hopeful that E plan
car BE- formulated which will aot be
vetoed. Senator Watson insists the
President and the Senate Finance
Committee Republicans are "not far
apart
Senate Republican leaders have been
giving attention TO the threatened
move By some of the Republicans to
discharge the Finance Committee from
consideration of the bonus bill. They
predict no Republican will make such
motion, and say that if the Demo-
Gratis force it the Republicans will
unite to defeat the motion or the
ground that the Finance Committee
leaders have promised to report A bin
and that bill Will be passed this ses-
sion Iii accordance With the action Of
the Republican conference
In spite Of all that has been said bv
the President in opposition to placing
dependence on the foreign debt as a
means Of meeting the bonus fund. ad-
vocates Of the McCumber plan are still
holding the view that proceeds of the
British debt soon viii be coming into
the treasury and will serve to liuui-
date the demands under the proposed

The determining factor in making the
reduction to S1.l5 was the decreased

the cost Of gas oil and the large in
crease in the ccmpany's business.
This is one Of the few gas corpora
