Sheriff M. J. Butte made a haul OF
two stills, some mash, and about three
quarts of moonshine whiskey last
Saturday when he and Palmer Gull

visited a couple Of farms In Hiland

One Of the places visited was the
farm of Emil Just where an up-to-date
still was found in a shed but there
was no evidence of its recent use
found anywhere about the place. Mr..
Just, who boards with a neighbor.
claims that when he went to dinner
there was no still on the premises
and that some one must have planted
1t there during his absence.
The other place was the farm of
Elmer w. Dalbol, where a still, mash
in six different stages, and about 3
quarts OF moonshine whiskey were
found. According to reports consid-
cradle effort and work was expended
TO make a suitable and concealed
place to operate. The house, 12x16 In

The place was ventilated by a pipe

is ones duty to acknowledge he is
inferior to God and strive to find out
the perfection OF 9. Declarations Of
self-perfection will not avail with God.
Such an n makes God a liar and that
can not be.
Meme, Meme, tekei, upharsen, Bells
hazzar was weighed In the balances
and found wanting. Whomever God
searches is found wanting. The un-
searched person is always light
weight, and being searched he is
found to be the same. For sin shrinks
and beaches and turns to chaff. He
who is unwilling for God to search
him is like the wheat that the farmer
brings to the mill and the miller finds
to be lightweight by putting In a
bucket that holds just so much and
leveling of and weighing. God has
his standards to which n must come
or be rejected.
An honest saying search me" Is a
showing OF the finest kind OF spirit.
It is an acknowledgment of Gods
right to look into the depths OF the
heart and zee what is there to the
end that he may do the thing that is
neeueQ Dy the neart.
To want God to know our thoughts
Is true honestly. It Is recognizing
Gods right and propriety In 1t
Is like the criminal going with the
evidence of his crime upon him and
delivering himself up to the officers.
God must search the heart and
thoughts because can not OF his
own discernment always know IL there
is any wicked way In him. John Nit
chell and the G~reenhaulghs honestly
thought their mother was possessed
of devils and only the law convinced
them the devils is in them. Man Is
too deep for himself.
1t will not avail to have anyone but
God search. Contrasting 10 man will
not bring forgiveness to anyone.
The one who thus s~urrenders to God
is lead In the way everlasting"
There is no such leading without Gods
searching. The one who tries to hide
from God is in the way OF everlasting
death. Job pleads Make me to know
mine end" Don't be like Philip and
say I'VE know not whittier thou goest
and how know we the way" The man
who confessed he is lost will get the
cheerful direction.
God searches best by trial. The
testings OF God are his ways OF search
ting. There Is nothing like reverses to
make a man think. SO long as a man
is prosperous he depends upon him
self. When dark days come on he lets
Gods ~searchlight enter his heart.
Trial is good for a nan smooth
sailing makes laggards out OF sailors.
And IL it were not for the ever-watch-
full captain ever the squall would
catch them mapping and the storm
would send them to the bottom. THIS
storm on the sea Of Galilee taught the
disciples much. Let 1t teach you.
God is the great s~earcher. he
searched out the way Of salvation
through Christ for the hearts OF his
own searching. II, the Lord. search
the heart" For the spirit searcheth
all things" Had it not been for GOO
who devised Il way Of salvation there
would be no escape from the wrath
TO come there would be no revealing
lof the infinite loor OF God. Tie way

'P-WORD" PUZZLE
JUDGES SELECTED
Be Sure To Get Into the Fun and Give
Then A "Run For Their
Money

Rev. T. j. Simons, Mr.. w. S. Thomas
and Mr.. w. HI. Carr are the ones select
ed and who have promised to act as
judges In the Miller Press "p"-word
puzzle contest, which closes Monday.
April 10. 1922. All answers mailed SO
as to be postmarked April 10, will be
considered. The judges will meet
sometime after the date to consider
the answers and decide on the winners
of the prizes. Theirs will probably
be no mean chore, but their standing
as men of integrity and sound judg-
ment will mean a fair and impartial
decision. The decision of the judges
will be final.
We have been asked by contestants
who were in a little too big a hurry
in sending in their list of words,
whether they would be allowed to send
in a second list. This we have allow
ed. In fact we invite them to do so.
We want everyone 10 have a full and
fair chance. Also IL they desire to
qualify for a higher prize, they Of
course can do SO.
In looking over the which
have been received SO far, we find
many contestants who have not fol-
lowed the rules carefully. For in
stance one party includes in his list
photo" and 'photo-mount." In the
first place, il the word photo" Is used
1t canno be used again as part of a
compound word, and In the second
place "photo-mount" is not in the
dictionary. In the case of pocket
knife that can be used eve tho
pocket" is used as they are both
complete words.
Reports are that everybody is hav-
ing a jolly good time with the puzzle.
The puzzleman expects to get gray
hairs by the end of the week. Be sure
to get into the game. You may win
the prize.
Many are using verbs and adjec-
tives. Only nouns, actual objects seen
on hte picture count. Remember that.
Don't get scared out by reports of
others having bigger lists than you.
The chances are that their lists are
padded with words that don't count.

Ps. 1923
secretiyeness Is natural to man.
There are always certain things one
does noU wish to reveal. From the
time OF beginning adolescence, the de-
sire to ~secrete, becomes natural. The
process increases and hardens through
out life. The true purpose of secret
ing Is to produce.
There are certain thing IL is prop
er to conceal from ones fellow men.
individuality depends upon 1t. All
can not have all knowledge In common
and have any distinction Of human
intelligence. The grass, the trees, the
insects, the animals, the birds, the air,
the sea, the sky, the earth, the rocks,
the caverns of the hills, all have their
secrets into which no n may pry.
And so there are mysteries OF man
which are not for the inspection OF
the human understanding, nor for the
sight nor for any Of the faculties.
Yet / suspect these things are common
to man in varying degrees.
There is nothing that can be hidden
from God. "As n deceiveth a man
will We deceive him?" The Psalmist
begins by saying, and rightly 20 Lord,
thou hast searched me and known
me-" God does not have to wait for
an invitation to search one. He has
known everyone from the beginning
Some persons say search me" as q
bluff meaning. II am blamless." One
may be in reference to some SPECIFIC
thing, but not in reference to all
things. Whoever is worthy of blame
in reference to anyone thing has
contributed to blame in all things
He who has been blame worthy In
other things has contributed even In
that in which he Is innocent.
No one can so stand before God,
The FIRST thing they do with a criminal
is to search him. Every weapon Is
taken away from him. No n can
throw away from Gods sight and
knowledge, instruments of guilt, nor
evidences and discriminating eviden-
ces.
The reason for all desire to hide
from God Is sin. The child who is
innocent naturally desires not to con-

TAKE FIRST STEPS
TO END STRIKE
Nolan Asks For Conference. Union
Leaders Back Move. See Break

Washington, April chairman j.
l. Nolan of the house labor committee,
which has been hearing testimony in
connection with nationwide coal strike
addressed kilograms late today to OPP
orators In Indiana, Illinois and cas-
tern Ohio telling them that the mine
workers, through John L. Lewis, pres
Iident, had expressed a willingness to
meet a representative body of the cen
trail competitive field.
The kilograms Sent by Representa-
tive Nolan asked the operators to in
dictate their attitude toward such a
meeting. Other messages, Mr.. Nolan
said. probably would be sent to oper-
tern Pennsylvania fields.
The labor committee chairman said
he pointed out in his kilograms that
Mr.. Lewis in testimony yesterday and
today had indicated willingness of the
miners union to meet the operators IL
a sufficient representation of the CEN
tral competitive field was present to
make possible the working out OF a
wage agreement covering the entire
territory embraced I'm the fields.
III a definite agreement were reach
ed at the informal conference, Nolan
beliefes, other operators In the central
competitife field would be forced to
approve it. From this point the circle
would be widened TO include all min
ers and operators.
Nolan claims that only the opera
tors in the southern Ohio and the
western Pennsylvania fields have alb
solutely refused to meet the miners.
Although Nolan is optimistic regard
ing the plan, others in close touch
with the situation believe the opera
tors now stand united against inter-
state wage negotiations and n OF
them would enter the informal pre-
liminary conference.
II believe that we can work out a
solution along this line," Nolan said.
IL don't know exactly what machinery
would be employed, but | think this is
the right approach"
Nolan stated that the house labor
committee probably would communi-
cate with the operators toward this
end Action Of congress as a body
would be too slow, he said.
The matter will be taken up with
the committee today the chairman
stated and action will be pressed.
Nolan would leave the conference
meeting place to the miners and oper-
ators.
Union officials today hailed as "the
first break in the ranks of the opera
tors" the reported offer OF several in
dependent producers In rne anthracite
fields of Pennsylvania to grant the
strikers 10 wage demands immediate
ly IL they would return to their jobs.
Meanwhile, on the main battle
ground of the nations greatest strike

rewards the support given the strike

Strike leaders announced that the

committee would meet In New York

cession of the anthracite operators
and acceptance may result in negotia-
tons of separate contracts and reop-
ening Of the mines affecte0 union
