FORD HAS PLENTY OF COAL
a Principle" Involved in CT
ing Down of Plants.
(By the Associated Press.)

Detroit. Aug. 26.-Henry Ford in
announcing Saturday that his plants
would be closed September 16 because
of conditions in the coal industry, be-
gan a fight for what he believes is q
great principle, the Associated Press
was informed today in sources close
to the manufacturer. Mr.. Ford, 1t
was stated, has started what he de-
clares is a fight against alleged prof
iteering in coal and that he believes
he perhaps is in a better position to
do so than any one else. He feels, it
was stated, that by taking up the fight
he is doing every other manufacturer
as well as working men thruout the
country a real service.
Ford denies there is a coal short
age. The Investigations of his repre-
sentatives has convinced him, it was
stated, that coal brokers of the coun-
try have an enormous supply of coal
on hand. The Ford Motor company
could obtain enough coal to cover d
tract ten acres square if it would sub
nit to being victimiZed by profiteers,
it was declared.
For several weeks, it was asserted
Ford officers at Dearborn have been
flooded with the offers of coal with
deliveries guaranteed, it was declared,
the prices asked ranged from 100 to
800 per cent above the normal cost.
The Detroit manufacturer believes
that if he yields to what he terms
the holdap" of the coal brokers
every other manufacturer will follow
suit and that coal prices will reach an
unprecedented figure. One source
close to Mr.. Ford said the manufac-
turer had at the back of his mind "a
picture of working men being unable
to buy enough coal to keep their fam
lilies warm because of the prices that
profiteering was nipped in its tncep-

Packing Houses Suffer Little From
Industrial Disturbances.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-The output of
leading meat packing companies was
unaffected by the coal strike up to
the middle of August, according to
the seventh federal reserve banks re-
port on business conditions made pub
lie today. Thirty-five packing COM
panies said July sales increased .5 per
cent over June, but were 1T per cent
less than a year ago.
Domestic demand for packing house
products. aitho somewhat better

ported as being affected to some ex-
tent by unsettled transportation con-
ditions and decreased buying power
caused by disturbances in other indus
tries, the report continued.

Democrats Are Uncertain.
The course of the Democrats is a
bit wobbly and uncertain. They are
not willing to accept the industrial
court law as the big outstanding issue
of the campaign and want to switch
a lot of conversation to the matter OF
tax receipts. In view of their posi-
ton two years ago when Jonathan NJ.
Davis was also their governorship
nominee, some of the Bourbon leaders
fear their line of battle has already
been defined.
1t is the purpose of the Democrats
to write a platform that will have a
strong heart throb for the downtrod-
of the Democrat leaders appear anx-
ious to withdraw their tender sympa-
thy for the mine and rail strikers and
their demand for repeal of the indus
trial court act.
Much of the Democrat platform will
probably view with alarm and point
with scorn. Both the; Harding and
Allen administrations will receive
some hard knocks Tuesday.
The Democrat state committee will
probably select a chairman, at a meet
ing Tuesday. A half dozen car
didates have been proposed. The
course of the party was left in doubt
in view of uncertainty regarding the
man who would direct campaign ac-
tivities. Davis will have practically
free rein in naming a chairman. He
has already offered the place to sew
eraI men. Practically all of them
have declined.
It looks as tho ]. J. Wilson of ALLEN
county is the most likely man for
chairman with Carl j. Peterson of
Topeka for secretary.

mas when he was very poor, that
Martin Luther invented the idea OF
the Christmas tree.
One Christmas Eve, Martin Lu-
ther was coming home. He felt the
grandeur Of the night, and was i'm
pressed by the beauty Of the fir
trees with the stars shining over
them.
He stopped and cut a small fir
tree and dragged it home and into
the nursery where his six small
children greeted him with wonder
and new joy.
Luther told his wife about a beau
tiful idea he had conceived. To-
gether they placed the Christmas
tree on the nursery table, hung can
dies on it and lighted them.
When you look at the Christmas
tree in your home, think Of Martin
Luther and his loving wife. Your
Christmas might not have been SO
picturesque If the Luthers had not
had a Christmas tree, and had not
established the custom which the
Christian world has copied.
