Lloyd Georges Jokes on Himself.

What has saved Lloyd George is his
sense of humor. He knows how to
laugh at himself His favorite story
now chestnut-was of the man who
saved a drowning person in the
Thames and explained, "Yes-1
jumped in after him-got him by the
neck-turned him over and found he
wasn't Lloyd George-and then ]
pulled him out" His next fdvorite is
Of the old Welsh farmer who walked
many miles in Criccieth, where Lloyd
George lives. ''I'm, going to have a
look at David" said this admirer.
"David's now a great man. ''.Why
yes, he gets $4,000 a year," answered
his friend. The farmer looked
thoughtfully and replied-''it's not the
$4,000 year that matters. Our Da-
vid lives near the pile."-P. w. Wilson

Bird Strictly in Fashion.

Thelma's folks had been taking her
to vaudeville quite a bit and the
youngster enjoyed the dancing acts
especially.
One day she was out in the back
yard playing with her dolls when she
suddenly noticed a sparrow taking it's
daily dust bath-ruff1ing out its feath-
ers and shaking out the dust.
Theln1a came running in, her eyes
sparkling with fun, saying, "Oh, NAM

BIENNIAL SESSIONS
WIN IN THE HOUSE
SOLoNS BY OVERWHELMING
VOTE FAVOR MEETING BUT
ONCE IN TWO YEARS.

The Munday bill providing for bien-
NAL sessions of the Georgia Legislature
was passed in the house Of representa-
tives Thursday afternoon by vote OF
140 to SO, getting the required two
thirds majority for constitutional
amendment. This bill was companion
measure of the one frightening the
terms of members OF the legislature
from two to four years.
There was long and spirited de-
bate on the measure, and more than
an hour was consumed in the roll call,
since practically every member awaited
himself of the privilege OF explaining
his vote. Representative Parks, OF Ter
rell, voted for the bill.
Mr.. Munday, of Polk, the author Of
the bill, made ringing speech for the
measure. He declared the state is 60
ing in debt at a rate OF 100000 per
wear, and any member of the legisla-
ture should be ashamed to add to the
burden of the taxpayers by drawing
81 per day for doing nothing. He de
clared biennial sessions would save the
state approximately 100000, the pres
ent expense being $125,000 for SO days,
while the proposed change provides
for 60-day sessions every other year;
would stop a flood of legislation, lessen
the heavy burden on the taxpayer and
give the business world season OF
rest by lessening anxiety over hostile
legislation.

LARDER OF GEORGIA
is FAST FILLING
EMPIRE STATE DECLARED TO
BE RAPIDLY ON WAY TO
SELF-MAINTENANCE.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Georgia IS now
fast on the way to self-maintenance in
the matter of food stuffs In some inn
portant items, indeed, the state has be-
come an exporter, whereas but recent
ly it imported in large quantities. Dur
ing the month of June alone many
thousands of dollars worth of hogs
were marketed through the co-opera-
tive sales in divers counties, with pros
pect of the amount growing steadily
as the live stock industry Develops 1t
is of record that immense stores of
grain and provender which farmers
once bought from distant regions are
now raised from their own soil
This augurs we'll and greatly for
the future of the commonwealth.
The conserving for home needs and
home enterprises of millions of dol
lars that used to stream away in pay
ment of food imports is itself of large
significance; but even more so are the
better agricultural methods which the
production of various food crops be-
tokens and the independence which it
vouchsafes.
AS a result of those methods Geor-
gia farm lands, few years hence, will
be worth a vast deal more than if the
single crop system, with its impover-
ishment OF soil strength, had contin-
ued to prevail; and likewise Georgia
farm incomes will be steadier, surer
and larger.

GERMANY WANTS KAISER
BACK, DECLARES IRA VELER

1T is not demonstrated publicly, but
there is a universal dissatisfaction
with the present government. Only in
private conversation, however, is this
dissatisfaction revealed.
Il talked with business men, with
farmers. with 1aborers and always they
told me the same story. The people
of Germany think they would be bet
ter off with the kaiser in power. This
rnay be only an outward manifestation
of the suffering caused by the war,
or it may be the recurrence of exhi-
bition of the inhorn spirit OF people
accustomed to a monarchial rule, but
the desire for the resurrection of the
old empire is undoubtedly true"
Mr.. Bruckner was impressed with
the service on the George Washing
ton on which he returned TO America
yesterday. He says it rivals the service
of the best hotels in America. He adj
vises all American travellers visiting
Europe to take passage on American
ships.

THE SENATE is NOW
PROBING new LEAKS"
INVESTIGATING FILCHING OF
GOVERNMENT SECRETS. IN
FORMATION SOUGHT.

The senate committee on rules is
making a quiet investigation OF leaks
of news from sources of government
information. A leak is the obtaining OF
advance information of important gov
ernment activities, and the furnishing
of the information either to persons
who will be able to make money out
of the early knowledge, or to fiewspa-
pers which will derive the advantage
of beating their rivals.
One Scheme That Failed.
One of the most elaborate arrange
ments to get advance news was made
some years ago by a broker who was
eager to obtain advance intimations of
United States supreme court decisions.
Justices of the supreme court lecture
in law classes at the Washington uni
versities. One broker sent young
lawyer to Washington, who enrolled
as a student in the university where
Justice Harlan was to lecture.
The young lawyer listened one eve
ming as the Justice discussed circum-
stances which exactly fitted the case
in which he was interested and which
was before the court for decision. The
luStlCe went SO IdI do " SiiOW Wlldt
the decision must be in his opinion.
The young lawyer fastened to New
York city and laid his report before
the broker, who Immediately bought
up large quantities of the stock which
was to be given an increased value by
the decision. But when the decision
was handed down it was found to be
Just the opposite, with Justice Harlan
the only one dissenting.
Guard Cotton Reports.
Cotton crop reports from the depart
ment of agriculture are carefully
guarded, for the condition OF the crop
influences the price on the cotton ex-
changes. Five minutes advance infor-
nation skilfu1ly used will make a man
rich. An employee Of the department
who. in guarded room, compiled the
telegraph reports, arranged with bro
kers to signal to them the reports he
received by raising or lowering win
dow shade.
This employee was fined $4,000 and
discharged from the service, but his
plot had net him 100000 1t is not
likely that the trick could be worked
again, it is said, for every such leak
is followed by an inquiry, and when
any irregularity is found steps are
taken to close that avenue.

LOSSES BY FIRE IN
u. S. ARE ENORMOUS
COSTS NATION $1,672,722,677 IN
FIVE YEARS. MANY FIRES
START ON ROOFS.

Fire losses in the United States
reached the appalling amount of ST.
672,722,677 for the five years from
1916 to 1920 inclusive, according to
recent report of the national board
of fire underwriters, which has been
making a study of more than 100000
fires during that period. This gives
an average OF annual property de-
struction OF $334,544,535. The five
years loss, it is estimated, would be
Sufficient to build $4,000 dwellings, at
$4,000 each-enough housing 10 care
for 100000 persons. This is equiva-
lent to the combined population OF
Connecticut, Nevada and Wyoming.
What Figures Show.
The. figures show that the value of
property destroyed by fires communi-
Gated through the roof was $223,00O,-
0O0 Study OF these and similar figures
are leading to drastic changes iii fire
regulations in many cities. Roof fires
are among those considered easily pre-
yentable. and steps are being taken
with that end in view. Fire department
records in many cities show that about
40 per cent of all confagrations have
resulted from sparks and flaming en-
bers carried by high winds to the
roofs of nearby buildings. 1t is declar-
ed that if proper care had been exer-
cised and fire resistant roofing ma
teria1s used when these buildings were
erected most OF the losses would have
been averted.

NEW YORK LEADS
IN MONEY EARNED
TOPS ALL STATES, WITH NE
VADA LAST; INCOMES OF
FARMERS VARY WIDELY.

NEW YORK, N. with an in
come of about $9,000,000000 or about
one-eighth the income of the whole
country, New York state leads the
United States in money earned, &C
cording to figures compiled from re-
port OF the national bureau OF econom-
ic research made public on Sunday
Nevada stands last on the list with
total of $65,791,000
The report on distribution OF income
bv states shows that there is an extra
ordinary diversity in per capita income
of people in different parts of the
United States. While this, as whole,
in 1919 was $627 the per capita income
in the region embracing the Pacific
states was $796 and in the middle At,
lantic states it was $783. Contrasted
with those figures the per capita IN
come in the southern central states
was $463 and in the eastern central
states it was 1904.
Average New York Income $4,000.
New York again leads the list OF
per capita incomes with $874," con
tinues the statement. Nevada, Cali
fornia and Wyoming are next with
per capita incomes around $500.
The average incomes of the gain
fully EMPLOYED shows variations from
the per capita income due to the wide
difference of character OF the employ
ment OF the population OF the various
states. South Dakota and New York
head the list with just over $1,000
while on the other hand Alabama and
Mississippi are both just under 5000.
THE total income in the various
states shows even greater extremes
owing to the disparity OF population.
South Gets Little.
"The people of the middle Atlantic
states alone received more than one
fourth Of the entire income OF the
country in 1919 and, with the east
north central states, received nearly
one-ha1f of it. On the other hand, the
people of the twelve southern states,
comprising more than Il per cent OF
the population, received less than -
DER cent of the total income.
THE wide variations in the. incomes
of farmers are well known, but how
wide these differences are may be a
surprise. Farmers in the Pacific states
in 1910 had an average income OF
s. 300: in the west north central states
their average was $500. These figures
NAV be contrasted with the average OF
81 loo for farmers in New England,
ST, $40 in the south Atlantic states and
less than $1,000 in the east south CEN
trail states"

HARDING FILINGS
DEFY AT THE MINERS
MANDATE ISSUED TO OPERA
TORS TO ASSURE WINTER
COAL. OFF TO OPEN MINES.

WASHINGTON, D. While
coal operators were scattering to their
districts to reopen their mines under a
mandate from the federal government,
with the assurance of protection that
such a mandate implies, President
Harding went into session with his
cabinet to map out complete pro-
gram of government procedure.
That the 1ong-discussed showdown
and crisis is actually at hand no one
in Washington doubts. The president
has virtually ordered the coal mines
of the country to reopen under guar
antee of protection of federal troops,
if necessary, to insure coal enough to
keep the country from freezing next
winter.
The federal government plans to
move cautiously in the matter of send
ing troops of the regular army to mine
strike duty. Protection of the mines
first of all is the duty of local officials
municipal and state-and until these
agencies have broken down President
Harding does not intend to aggravate
dill dHSduy lSllSS SlludllOH ny TIC us
patch OF regulars.
President Harding is determined
that coal shall be mined, however, and
to that end he will not hesitate should
the emergency arise, to resort to every
power possessed by the federal govern
ment to accomplish it.
The miners who remained in the
national capital today were tight-lipp-
ed. Confronted by what they readily
recognize as the greatest crisis their
union has experienced since Theodore
Roosevelt in 1902 took similar meas
lures to insure coal production, they
preferred to remain silent.
Privately, however, they declared
that at is practically impossible" for
coal enough to be mined, even under
troop protection, to keep the country
from experiencing an acute shortage
this winter.

Robins Hatched and Fed
On Moving Railroad Car

On the brake rigging beneath a
passenger coach on shuttle train
which makes three daily trips be-
tween Elk Run and Rikers, Pa, is
a robins nest containing three small
robins. The mother robin began
building her nest in this precarious
place three weeks ago. She started
her construction work early in the
morning, and when the train pulled
out left the nest and flew with the
train to Rikers.
There the coach was placed on
siding until noon and in the interim
the nest building was continued.
Soon there appeared three eggs in
the nest, which the bird carefully
covered. A few days ago three lusty
robins were Matched from the eggs,
despite the migrations OF the coach,
and the mother feeds the youngsters
