HARDING PLANS WAR
FUEL POLICY

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 7.-Fearln9
that the nation wide coal mine strike
cannot be settled soon, President Hard
ing is formulating a plan for protecting
the public against the menace OF the
fuel shortage now developing, it was
learned from sources close to the ex'
ecutive as he left here today for Wash
ington. Virtual revival of the policies
of conserving fuel put into effect by
the fuel administration during the war
is being considered.
Under this plan priority rights TO
obtain coal would be given to those
users of fuel upon whom the life OF
the people depends. First would come
the government, the railroads and pub
lie utilities, then the essential indus.
| tries, the private users of fuel and fin
ally the non essential industries.

PLEADS GUILTY TO SAVE FRIENDS

In Judge Cole s court yesterday, A.
Hernandez pleaded guilty to charge
of assault with deadly weapon on
the person of F. j. Franks, foreman
of the county chain gang, June 10. An
tonic Rameras and Francisco Hazon,
alleged accomplices, pleaded not guilty.
The latter will be tried Monday. In
, "a statement to the court yesterday
Hernandez took full blame for the as
sault in an effort to shield his com
panions, denying that they had made
any attack on Franks. The latter s
testimony tended to show Rameras and
Razon equally guilty with Hernandez.

THE LAND OF BEGINNING AGAIN

When failures and sorrows confront us,
AS we travel the Road of Life,
Remember they're nothing but shadows
That belong to the world of strife.
For back of each cloud is Rainbow,
That never was put there in vain,
And back of that Rainbow of promise,
The Land of Beginning Again.
With Love-light, and Hope-well and
Faithful,
As comrades of yours each day,
You'll soon leave the shadows behind you,
And travel the sunshiny way.
No matter how often you stumble,
Your Father will help you regain
The skein that was broken, by seeking
The Land of Beginning Again.

A PARODY

1t was midnight on the ocean,
Not a street car was in sight,
The sun was shining brightly,
And it rained all day that night.
1t was summer night in winter,
The rain was showing fast;
A barefoot boy with shoes on,
Stood, sitting on the grass
1t was evening, and the rising sun
Was setting in the west,
And the little fishes in the trees,
Were huddling in their nest.
The rain was pouring down
The moon was shining bright,
And everything you could see,
Was hidden out of sight.
While the organ peeled potatoes,
Lard was rendered by the choir,
While the sexton wrung the dishrag
Some one set the church on fire.
"Holy smoke!" the parson shouted
In the rain he lost his hair,
Now his head resembles Heaven,
For there is no parting there.

RESOLVED

To save a little money,
To praise a little more;
To smile when days are sunny
And when the tempests pour;
To pay less heed to SHINING
And more to kindly thought;
To see beyond the winning
Just how the fight was fought;
To be a little kinder,
A little braver, too,
To be a little binder
To trivial things men do,
To give my hand to labor,
Nor whimper that l must;
To be better neighbor
And worthier of a trust.
To play the man, whatever
The prize at stake;
God grant that l shall never
These New Year pledges break.

Scars upward still.
Its halls of learning fair,
Whose bounties all may share,
Behold them everywhere
On vale and hill.

The school shall ever be;
Our Nations pride!
No tyrant hand shall smite,
While with encircling might
All here are taught the Right
With Truth allied.
Beneath Heavens gracious will
The stars of progress still
Our course do sway;
In unity sublime
To broader heights we climb,
Triumphant over Time
God speeds our way.
Grand birthright of our sires,
Our altars and our fires
Keep we still pure!
Our starry flag unfurled,
The hope of all the world,
In Peace and Light impearled,
God held secure!
