The Looming Coal Strike.

walkout by a majority OF coal miners in
the central competitive field April J.
The situation has become too complex to admit of
hope OF settlement by that date-or for a goodly

Miners OF Illinois and Pennsylvania are similarly
at odds, the latter accusing the former of detection
from the common cause.
Altogether it's vexing problem as has con-
fronted industry and the forces of the Department
of Labor in long time. The solution, after the
men have laid down their tools, is not to be

Canada New Political Rule.

ago the late Champ Clark, of Missouri talked
loosely and largely after the manner of his more
expansive moments about making Canada an

break OF flag tapping in the Dominion elections
that autumn. When the votes counted, Sir
Wifrid Laurier's. Liberal ministry was out of Job
and his policy of reciprocity in tariff between the
United States and Canada was done for. The Con-
servatives had majority of forty-seven, and Sir
Robert Borden entered upon the premiership that
was to go on through the war and end with his
resignation in the summer OF 1920.

Good News From Nebraska.

NEBRASKA is a State generally thought Of
as agrarian. However, stock and poultry
and dairy products annually show value sub
stant;ally exceeding that of the cereals and vege
tables. Hence, this commonwealth may be taken
as a fair barometer of conditions throughout the
farm belt of the Middle West, that is, in a broad
.....-. ss...,--..- -.... -.
The declaration, therefore, that Nebraska has
turned the corner and is now we'll the way
back to normal and permanent prosperity issuing
from Governor Samuel R. McKelvie is im-
portant one, and confirms recent general state
ments of officials of the Treasury and Agriculture
Departments
Governor McKclvie does not deal in hypothesis,
but in cold figures. These show that the total
value of leading products advanced during the
perod November /, 1921, to March 1, 1922, from
$3o2,22S,ooo to $457,5SS,ooo, increase OF Sos
$4,000 and this adeclning market. Further
more the average health Of farming and stock
dtions is demonstrated the more strongly by the
fact that this gain takes into account and cancels
value losses of 100000 in poultry and 100000
in dairy products. The average gain is found to
be 50 20 per cent. The figures based upon
farm values and represent the totals for the year
1921 Admitting that a portion OF the products
enumerated had been disposed of November 1,
and in larger measure March /, the governor
points out the important fact that the items approx
mating the larger amount OF the increase are
largely in the hands of the farmer at the present
time
The yeoman service afforded by the War
Finance Corporation is gratefully acknowledged by
the Nebraska executive. Loans Of $I2,oooooo in
the form OF long-term notes has greatly relieved
the strain on the banks and has eased the demands
that were being made upon the farmer for imme-
date liquidation" Demands upon the corporation,
it is further noted are rapidly reccding and it is
held probable that before July I, when it is
scheduled to cease functionng, the need for aid
will have passed.
Nebraska's record is but another indication that
only has the corner of prosperity been reached
but turned, and that the nation, industrialy, is
slowly but surely moving back to the normality OF
perhaps decade ago.

High Proof Praise.

THE wi1es of Gree, the songs of the sirens, the
call OF the Klondike-these are but feeble
sense appeals compared to the dithyrambs of two
groups OF anonymous but gifted publicity hav-
ing their propaganda departments, respectively, in
the Bermuda and Bahama Islands
The story OF their activities comes from New
York and is the product OF a service special
izng travel and shipping. It's sent for purpose,
no doubt, but still is too good, to find the limbo of
most press agent compilatons-the waste basket.
The battle of alluremcnt started with the issu-
ancc of glowing descriptions of Bcrmudas beauties,
which accelerated the movement OF tourists to
the little pclagic group that the steamship COM

subtle than arrcsting, to the choice liquor stocks

forth. at would not be tolerated by the local au-
thortes. The Bahama vintages arc choice. the
Scotch is superb, and to sip a glass of cool beer
under the sheltering shade of Nassau palm tree is
an experience to be remembered for lifetime. The
fact that drink is good we'll plentiful is
really preventive of drunkenness, for the visitor
remembers there is a tomorrow" closing refer
erce was made to the fact that Nassau is three
days sail from New York.
The "vexed Bermudas" unwilling to be worsted
in the argument, took up the challenge. YES re-
torted their press man, well admit all you have
said about the drinks and the palms; but we have
fine liquog and palms well. What is still more
important, Bermuda be reached in less than
forty-eight hours from New York"
The Bahamas returned to the attack by calling
attention to the bargains to be obtained there.
"In the Nassau shops Panama hats, English
tweeds and all sorts of feminine apparel, shipped
from old England and sold at the lowest of prices"
Bermuda forthwith parted this move by announcing
itself as the oldest British colony within easy
reach of England, and therefore in receipt
of bargains from London, which almost
given away.
And so the fight proceeds and will proceed until
Old Sol has crept far above the line that the

At a meeting OF the Canadian In

thusiastic over the possibilities OF

recognize easily the most striking
geological formations.
From the air il is possible to

and by the general surface features
that are characteristic Of sections
Of country underlain by different

can be distinguished from those
rocks which are more favorable TO
the occurrence Of economic min

the geologist Of a vast amount OF
work and would save a large part
OF his time. Areas OF granite
which are not important economic
ally. and those areas of deep glacial
cover where no rocks are exposed.
