PROUD COAL CARS
6yWARY GRAHAM BOWER

"We're proud" said the pieces Of
coal in one of the coal cars, and then
all the coal said in its dark, coal
fashion:
"We're all proud"
A little fairy had come a-flying
along the countryside and had
perched herself upon one of the coal
cars which was being pulled along.
together with many other coal cars.
by three engines.
Now the fairy was wearing a long
black cape and black hood and when
people were In sight she hid her face
In her hood so that 1t could not be
seen.
She was very shy little fairy.
No one could notice her as ii was
and she had come to talk to the pieces
Of coal.
She had seen SO many coal cars
travelling along all through the sum-
mer that she had wondered how the
coal liked Journeys.
so the Fairy Queen had given the
magic wand which would make every
/. thing talk and the fairy was now on
the coal cars as I've saIdA
y "Oh, yes, we're very proud" the
pieces Of coal said again.
Now you know" they continued,
that this whole train-an these coal
cars are part of freight train. We
are so many in numbers and we weigh
so much that it takes three engines,
as you see, to pull us.
THAT makes us very proud And
coal is important. We know that, but
we like to have others see our i'm.
portance.
1--WE travel along through the coun.
try quite free of charge. Some one
may pay for our journeys-some un.
known, kind benefactOr.
"a benefactor Is some one who does
kind things like that or who gives
presents.
$50 1t may be that a benefactOr is
giving us our travelling expenses as
his share I'm the honor to be shown the
coal family.
"We're not sure about that, but II
makes no difference
"The main thing Is we are travel
ing and we do not have to pay for It
ourselves.
ut is just as well, Of course, for
We haven't any money and We haven't
any purses and We haven't any
pockets. But though we haven't any
money we are worth money and that
Is very fine.
"It's just as though some one who
was very rich went a-walking without
a pocket book. That person would be
worth the money, but wouldn't have II
along with him or with her.
$50 1t is with US.
But we're particularly proud not
only of the three engines and the fact

Methodist Church Notes
Rev. G C. Wier, Pastor. Residence
236 Olivier. Phone Alg. 1873.

Last Sunday we had only one serv-
ice and that at the HOO O'Clock hour
Ii was the Pastors birthday and he
observed il by preaching from Psalms
9O:12, so teach us to number our
days, that we may apply our hearts
unto wisdom" Emphasis was laid
upon the fact that ii was not how
many birthdays We have passed or
may pass but how well we spent our
days. The God invested life is the
one that is correctly invested. The
young person on his birthday should
remember that he has one more years
experience and is better qualified to
do Gods will than ever before;
stronger and better qualified to do
something for God. The older man
remembers that his days are passing
and he must do what he has to do and
do it quickly. This stimulates him TO
do his very best for God. His days
are fleeing and he must improve or
lose them. The text thus calls upon
all TO do all possible for the kingdom.
The choir had good music: Mrs.
Bell was absent on account of the i'll
ness of her mother, Mrs. Riley. Miss
Roberta Hafkesbring was at the
organ. The Choir had an anthem.

contribute in an especial manner on
her birthday. The flowers in the

were sent to Mrs. Wier by her friends,
Mines Cross and McKerrell of Frank
lin.
At night. the congregation went to
First Church to hear Bishop Gambler
of Georgia. The Bishop had a great
hearing. The house was full long be-
fore the hour of service had arrived.

80 CENT TARIFF ON WHEAT


Washington-By q vote of 80 to IL,
the Senate approved q tariff Of 30
cents q bushel ON wheat.
Senator McCumber. Republican.
North Dakota, In charge of the meas
ure, stated the purpose of the rate was
to keep above the world level the price
of Northern spring wheat from the
Dakotas and Minnesota. but said he
did not think the tariff proposed would
be carried on to the consumer. Even
II 1t was, 1t would not amount to 81 q
year to each consumer. he declared.
Minority leaders sweltered through
q four hours fight against the wheat
rate, talking most of the time to prac
tically empty seats. Despite the fight
however, the minority split of the final
vote, Senators Jones, Of New Mexico
and Kendrick Of Wyoming voting with
the solid Republican majority for the
committee rate, which is an increase
of five cents over the House rate, but
q decrease of five cents from the ex
listing emergency tariff duty.
