NORRIS MAY
RESIGN SEAT
Leading Progressive In Senate VIII
Not Be Candidate For Re-Elec-
tion-StOre Coal in Mines.
(By Isaac Gregg


Washington, Dec. 13.-Considera-
be surprise has been occasioned IN
Washington by the announcement
that Senator George W. Norris, OF
Nebraska, one Of the leading progress
sives in the Senate, will not be a
candidate for reelection at the expl-
ration of his term on March 4, 1873,
and might resign his seat before that
time.
Inasmuch as Senator Norris has
been a conspicuous figure in Congress
for many years, having taken part IN
the fight against the "Czarism" ol
former Speaker Cannon in the House,
having been one of the little group
of "wilful men" who filibustered
against, the armed ship bill, having
been an irreconcilable opponent OF
the Versailles treaty, and having
lately been chairman of the meeting
at which the so-called progressive
bloc in Congress was formed, his an
nouncement caused no end of specu-
!ation and some little regret among
those who looked on Norris as one
Of the progressive leaders
His retirement from Congress,
Senator Norris says, will be because
he believes ne can accomplish more
outside Congress than he can inside
in the way OF govrnmenatal reform.
Storage of coal underground at
the mines is suggested by Director
Fl. Foster Bain of the Bureau Of
Mines as a practial step toward the
accumulation of those reserves CT
fuel which are necessary to stabu-
ize industry and to rotect the domes.,
tic consumer in periods OF acute coal
shortage, such as the country has re-
Gently undergone.
The seasonal demand for coal can
to some extent be met by storage, but
this must be done by the consumer or
by some distributing agent operating
between him and the mine, according
to Dr.. Balm. At the mines the best
place to store coal is in the ground
and with unimportant exceptions 1t
is not feasible to provide more than
limited amount of storage above
ground.
The anthracite companies estab-
lished near points cf consumption &
system of great storage piles, when
were valuable balance wheels to the
trade and have facilitated that steadi-
ness of operation which distinguished
anthacite from bitumnous mining
Large scale storage of bituminouS
coal has been less practicable be
cause the uncertainty as to the iu-
ture price-a result of the excess ca
pacity of the mines and the keen
competition-has deferred companies
and individuals from seeking the ne
cessary investment.
With proper selection Of the coal
and due attention to modest REQUIRE
ments as to methods, it is entirely
practicable to store large quantities OF
most coal at moderate cost. says Dr.

found he could not move his head or
feet or his tail.
Grey tried again to run, but It was
no use, he could not move and in an
other second the funny little men
stood In a circle around him.
"He is good nut cracker" said
one. why not make him q Grey
Goblin and have him for our servant1 I
He could crack all our nuts. and to
punish him still more for peeking at
us tonight we will not let him eat any I;
only crack them for u.s."
"Never eat another nut" thought
poor Grey. "Why, I'd rather lose my
bushy tail than suffer that punish
ment."
Then, just as If they knew what he
was thinking, as quick as wink an
other Goblin said. II know a better
way than you have mentioned to pun
ish this peeking creature. We will phil
some Of the hair out Of his bushy tail
and make 1t look so thin he will be
ashamed"
All the Goblins began to shout

rushed, and with TINY finger and
thumb each one pulled hair from
his handsome tail, and then with 1t
held over his head each. little fellow
began to hop and jump, dancing like
wild creatures.
But then something happened, for
in their wild dance they forgot their
vAod nd ~ $n1 ka
ground. and right then Grey Squirrel
found that he could run, and run he
did faster than ever In his life, and
when he reached the place where he
had come into the Goblin land he was
lucky enough to find the door open.
The Goblins had forgot to close It.
Out he ran along the path home.
and as 1t was not quite daylight he
nestled down into his bed, trembling
with fear that the COLLINS might ,nnd
him even there, for he knew that BY
that time they must have put their
caps on. which gave them their magic
power.
He gave one look across the patch ~
he ran into his home. but the table
was not there, and when he told an
about 1t the next day everybody
laughed and his mother told him he
had eaten too much pie for supper.
But Grey Squirrel knew 1t was not q
dream, and anyway there was his
scraggy-looking tail to prove his story.
He does not run out any more at
night. nor does he get up in the night
to eat. but he has thought many times
about the strange magic words the
COLLINS used that night and wondered
what they meant.
Read them backwards and see II you

THE GREEDY SQUIRREL

LIE IS sure 1t all happened, but his
mother told him If he had not
eaten such a heavy supper he
would not have dreamed it-but for
all that he has his tail to prove his
story.
Grey Squirrel had a very bad habit
Of getting up after all the family were
in bed and getting nuts that were to
be served for breakfast, for he was
greedy little fellow and cared little
about anyone but himself
One night as he got out Of his bed
he saw light shining, and when he
looked out Of the window Of his home
he saw under the bushes across the
path long table spread for feast.
Around the table sat 30 many little
men in green and red suits that Grey
eould not count them.
These little men all wore red caps,
which they were very careful to make
sure were on their heads, for every
once In a while Grey noticed that they
would feel to see that the red cap was
in place.
Then out of the house he carefully
crept and was soon on the other side
Of the path hiding behind some
bushes, where he could plainly see all
that happened.
OF course, the little men feasting
were COLLINS and Grey should have
known better than to have gone out

LOIS

T OIS is really a masculine name.
It means famous war; and
comes from the Teutonic nomen-
clature through the Karling romances.
Lois or Loiz, as 1t is sometimes
spelled, is really Louis.
The French king whom the French
knew as Louis de DebonnaIre, was
originally called Lludulcus. The Pro
vencal promptly softened the name to
Alloys, but so popular did Louis be,
come that no member Of the French
royal family was christened without
1t. Finally the soft Alloys gained
favor throughout France and the "a
was dropped, producing the musical
Loys. The Bretons were already U.S.
ing the name Of Lois, so the ~" In
Logs disappeared and Lois appeared
and remained permanent.
Loys was the only form OF the
innumerable versions Of Louis that
became applied as feminine
name. Spain's Lois has never wav-
cred from its masculine interpreta-
ton, nor has the Luis Of Portugal.
France formed an Heloise from Lois
and Louise might possibly be called
an equivalent for Lois II II were not
for that strain Of Provencal.
Lois has been given In baptism scn-
orally as a name Of sentiment. 1t is
a tribe dinicult to pronounce but Ia
undoubtedly beautiful and extraor-
dinarily popular in this country.
b The tafismanic gem assigned to
Lois IL the onyx. 1t should be worn
with care as 1t Ia inclined to cool af-
fection, provoke discord and separate
lovers. but worn by Lois It prevents

HOUSE LEADERS ARE FIRM IN ASKING REDUCTION TO
 6o,ooo MEN.

if Is Evident That All Administrations Influence Will Be Necessary To Prevent Drastic
 Action.

wasbington.-A bitter struggle is under way in Congress to determine the size of the navy.
 House leaders are determined to re. duce the enlisted strength CT the navy to 60.000 men. It's present strength ,e 1a6 900 men. The number of off cers-7. 800 at present-wouid be cut % to 30 per cent.
 The House plan, which probably will be reported by the Naval Approp. riations Committee within few days. would cut the naval budget to S20O.- 100000.
 Secretary of the Navy Denby and Assistant Secretary Theodore Roose. welt contend that the very limit of safety to which Congress may go in cutting the navys enlisted strength is 0.000 men. President Harding's limit is S0.000 men. The naval bud. get as it will be recommended to the House will provide for 30,o00 men less than Secretary Denby's minimum and 20. .o00 less than the presidents limit. The Navy Departments estimate Of expenditures for the forthcoming year was $950 000. .000 If the House plans become effective the navy estimates would be slashed s150,ooo,oo0
 The House. dominated this year as 1t was last year by the Little Navy men. undoubtedly will give approval to these drastic cuts. The Senate Naval Affairs Committee is expected to champion the cause of the navy. Whether the Senate will go to the ex tent Of approving the Navy Depart ment's estimate is a question.
 Senator Poindextef Of Washington, acting chairman of the Senate Naval Affairs Committee. believes that the United States should take advantage of all the building 1t is allowed 10 do under the terms of the naval pact, particularly in the matter of aircraf', aircraft carriers and submarines.
 The naval budget undoubtedly vii be the subject Of stubborn contest i1 the Senate. The outlook is uncertain. Last year the Senate supported the Naval Committee in the fight over the size of the navy. What it will d. this year. with an election approach ing. is highly problematieal If the Senate supports it's Naval Affairs Committee. the whole question will be thrown into conference.
 It is quite evidence that all the in- fluence and the power of the Harding administration will have to be brought into play to save the navy from the most drastic slashiDg 1t has felt in years

DR. KNAPP SAYS THAT FARMERS MUST NOT BE DECEIVED BY
 REGENT ADVANCES
EXPORTS ARE DROPPING
Tells Jefferson County Planters That 1t Is Not Business Like To Buy Corn And Other Grains From
 The Northern States,

Pine Bluff-Dr Bradford Knapp, dean of the College of Agriculture, University of Arkansas, and ]. A. Evans of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, in addresses to a representative gathering of planters and business men of Jefferson county, stressed the necessity of reducing cotton acreage and diversifying crops during the present year. Dr. Knapp said:
 "The farmers must not be deceived by recent advances in the price of cotton or the statistics circulated re- gently purporting to show that there will be shortage of cotton next year, If he does he will meet the same fate as last year and be unable to realize from his crop what it cost him.
 Tt is true that we had short crop last year due more to the boil weevil than to actual reductions, and it is just as true that the world market for cotton has shrunken. The world needs cotton, but unless it is able to pay for it, tue farmer cannot profit py growing It,
 Exports of cotton to Europe are dropping steadily. and there is no as- surance when Europe will be able financially to buy 8 normal supply of the staple Until she is, the farmer had better curtail production of it.
 The present financial plight of the farmer, when he is forced to pay 1916 IT prices for what he buys while re ceiving half or less for what he sells, the speaker said, makes it imperative that the farmer conduct his farm on 6 strictly business basis.
 Dr. Knapp especially warned the farmers not to stop raising corn and grain because corn is practically worthless this year and all grains are low in price.
 Last year Arkansas raised 60,00o, GOO bushels of corn, the largest yiell in it's history he said. But during the same year we consumed 75,000,00t bushels. The difference was bought from Nothern producers and high freight rates were paid to bring il to Arkansas. That is not business like"
 Above all Dean Knapp urged farm CTS to raise poultry and produce and dairy products. to make them more self-supporting
 There are too many farms in th;f section without a milch COW and tol many without chickens, ne said. "I every farmer ha6 one or two goot cows, some pigs and poultry, he woult not feel the hard times sc much.
