The level of wages in the United
States, both actually and in proportion to
the cost of living and the hours of labor,
are higher than in any other country in
the world. We cannot raise the wages
in foreign countries to our levels. We
do not want our scale of wages to de
scend to theirs, but this is just what
W ould happen if we opened our doors to
the free admission of foreign products.

Mr.. B. NJ. Jewett, president of the
Railway Department of the American
Federation of Labor, is mathematical
prodigy. Some time ago he made de-
tailed budget which be said showed the
minimum amount on which the average
family could live for one year. His bud
get was presented to the Labor Board
with that air of finality which is assumed
by budgeteers. The total given was ST.
1888, about 81 day for 800 days in a
year. We know of great many fami-
lies in Waldo county who liye on less
than half that sum and to rs per cent of
our families who work for a living
wage of 81, 500 a year would be an un-
hoped-for competence.

FACTS ABOUT COAL

The Maine Fuel Administration began
business with the expediency which the
crisis demanded, and in a practical way.
No tices have been sent to dealers
tn roughout the State that not more than
on e ton of anthracite coal is to be deliv-
cred to any customer at time and that
additional orders shall not be filled un-
til this has been used. Every effort will
be made to protect households, but spe-
cial permits will be given for the delivery
of somewhat larger amounts of coal to
hospitals, hotels and restaurants, than
are allo wed to households. There is now
no anthracite coal for distribution.
The State Administration has COM
municated with 90 coal dealers in the
State and these dealers report that they
ordi narly sell about 34o, 1000 tons of an
thr acite and have on hand only $3.50
tons. Quite a considerable tonnage of
anthracite is already in the bins of the
consumers, but 1t is a moderate estimate
that the shortage of anthracite in this
pie to have 200, 900 more if they are to get
through the winter comfortably. 1t is
not probable that this deficiency can brl
more than half supplied. 1t is about cer-
tain that a large a mount of soft Goa
must be used in our public institutions
and in our homes. The dealers say they
require i3o, ,478 tons of soft coal and have
only 2,372 tons on hand. The admins
tration has purchased large quantity of
soft coal in other countries for shipment
to some of our very large industries and
we presume many of the railroads in the
eastern part of the United States are do
ing the same.
We have about 900, 600 coal miners in
the United States and in 1921 they mined
nearly 600, 0O0,0 900 tons of coal OF this
amount 10000 600 tons were exported.
There is something wrong somewhere /
when our people, our places of business,
our institutions, our schools and our
churches are threatened by a coal fam
inc, and there seems to be no way to
prevent it now or in the years to come.

LIGHTNING BUGS SUPPLIED
LIGHT FROM RADIO, BELIEF

Peoria, ILL.,, April 21.-The mys-
terry of what makes the lightning bug
light has been solved and the answer
is radio, according to Hamilton Bal
ley, wireless operator on the S. S. S.
Blackhawk, flagship of the North
Sea mine sweeping fleet during the
World War.
Lightning bugs, Bailey says, are
equipped with miniature audion bulbs
and possesses a low radio frequency
and a short wave length. Radio
waves generated by parent lightning
bugs equipped with broad-casting ap-
paratus cause the lightning-like
flashes, he asserts.
Each bug is equipped with its own
antennae-the long feelers or whis-
kers serving as the aerial, according
to Bailey. The theory is the subject
of experiments by the Peoria Radio
Club, according to Ernest Stidham,
president of the club and investiga-
lions will likewise be made at Brad
ly College here.

VOLUNTARY SUNDAY CLOSING

Here is a movement of Sunday clos
ing which we can favor and which we
commend. The Scholtz Mutual Drug
Company, Of Los Angeles (Calif) of
its own violation decided TO close all
its drug stores on Sunday. There
is all the difference in the world be-
tween a voluntary act and compul-
sorry law relative to religious observ-
ances. This is the point on which
we differ with those religionists who
favor compulsory Sabbath or Sunday
observance. We believe strictly in
the observance Of the Sabbath and
all other religious obligations that
are binding upon the conscience of
the Christian we do; not believe that
any purely religious act which one
owes exclusively to God is subject
for civil law enforcement. but that it
should remain altogether a voluntary
service to God. Liberty.

COURT CITES HEAD
OF STATE HOSPITAL

Frankfort, KY, April 21.-Dr. F.
G. Larue, superintendent of the East
ern State Hospital at Lexington, to-
day was cited by Judge Robert L.
Stout for contempt of court in connec-
tion with the case of Alexander Ju-
liam, who recently was declared in-
sane. Julian was taken to the hos
pital yesterday by an attendant from
that place.
The citation is made returnable
Monday, April. "a.
The action against DR.. Larue was
brought as a result of an affidavit by
Ambrose Mcdonald, a deputy, stat
ing an alleged conversation with DR..
Larue in regard to the case. 1t is
alleged that DR.. Larue, when notified
that Julian had been held insane,
stated that he would send his own
doctors here to examine the man and
determine whether or not he is in
sane.
The conversation was reported to
Judge Stout and the citation issued.
After the conversation, however,
DR.. Larue sent an attendant here
and Julian was taken to the hospital

The next time worry claims you,
Straighten up and take a walk;
It's useless TO keep brooding,
And above aldo not talk.
When once you're in the open,
Fill your lungs brimful of air,
Enjoy each breath and motion.
Taken thus, with time to spare,
Exercise will harmonic
All your thoughts, then you'll agree
That worry is expensive
And that happiness is free.
However great your trouble,
Do not give up in despair,
There's something which will help
you
That's a walk in Gods fresh air.

report current in Newport that the
troops would be withdrawn tomor-

Republicans today buried the party
Ratchet long enough to get together
in harmony onvention-which last
ed fifty-two minutes.
They cheered each other impartial
ly, seated all contesting delegates,
adopted a platform that avoids any
factional issues and staged a friendly
demonstration or two.
The Small-Thompson forces seated
Mayor William Hale Thompson's
contesting delegation from Chicago,
with half a vote per man; avoided
any censure of Governor Small, and
any praise of his opponents. They
also obtained the temporary chair
manship and made their fair half of
the motions planned by the steering
committee.

forces seated their Chicago delega-
ton likewise with a half vote per
man; avoided any laudation Of Gov
ernor Small's administration; con-
ferred the permanent chairmanship

of the steering committees motion.
Praise Administration.
The platform adopted praised
President Harding's administration
for providing agricultural credits;
controlling grain exchanges and the
packing industry; relieving shippers
from oppressive railroad rates; "get-
ting back to peace-time expenditures
for government purposes; views with
confidence the signs manifest OF bet
ter agricultural prices, dimunition OF
unemployment, better business and
all the happy results of a wise pro-
gram of domestic legislation, the ma
tural result of the peoples confidence
in a Republican administration. n"
Bonus Plan Endorsed.
The platform also Endorsed the
bonus plan, now before Congress;
congratulated the country on being
out of the League of Nations, and eX-
pressed "unalterable opposition" to
participation on any commissions
created under the covenant OF the
league or the Versailles treaty. The
platform concludes with a resolution

Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway and
urging the President to enter negotl-
ations with Canada Immediately with
a view of starting thls work. When

BANKS URGED TO
CURB GAMESTERS
Crissinger Warns Against Speculation
As National Prosperity
Returns.

Gainesville, Fla, April pa
warning against growing tendency
toward speculation throughout the
country as business conditions i'm
prove, was sounded here today by
Controller of the Currency d. II.
Crissinger in an address before the
Florida Bankers Association.
He urged the bankers to advise
their clients toward sound invest
ments and to use their influence ITO
prevent fly-by-night schemes"
Recent reductions in interest rates,
Mr.. Crissinger declared, have been
too generally regarded by the specu-
lative public as a sign of easy profits
in sight when at the present time 1t
was of supreme importance that
money and credit would be available
to sustain renewed business activity.
Warns of Overconfidencc.
THE present." he said, ''is a most
appropriate time for bankers to ad-
monish their clients against over
confidence in speculative investments.
The world needs a restoration of OPP
portunity to produce and consume
things needed for human progress
and bankers should keep in mind that
the first call for liquid capital must
be made in behalf of the farmer, the
manufacturer. the exporter and, in
general, the industrial and CONNER
cial community. 1t is equally i'm
portant that banks be kept from over
extending themselves by too liberal
accommodations to speculative eli
ents."
Mr.. Crissinger declared that he was
glad to bring to the South real mes
sage of assurance that the country
was indeed around the curve and
moving steadily and surely forward
on the road to more prosperous con-
ditions.
Business Outlook Brighter.
1.-THE business outlook for the
whole country" he continued, sis
brighter and more encouraging than
it has been for the last two years.
We are well rid of business and in
dustrial freight, and in a position to
go forward on sound and substantial
lines. We are ready to start, to be
off, to be doing.
Business, industry, agriculture
and commerce need only the awaken
ing of American pluck, courage and
initiative to insure the re-establish-
ment of prosperity.
1.-THE banks which come under my
supervision, in the main, are in con-
dition and prepared to face every
productive enterprise, but should
have nothing for speculative adven-
ture. There has been wonderful i'm
provement in banking and financial
circles; money is easy and cheap, and
as in the past the banks again will be
the bulwark of prosperity and the
sheet-anchor of national progress"
