FIFTY CENTS

the highway he MAJ whiz, or through the solemn forest wend. No matter
where he may have trekked, through palaces or Bedouin tents, he yet at
times must recoIect that he still owes ne fifty cents. Perhaps he fees in
frenzied haste before a wild mid-oeean gale; perhaps he's in some arctic
waste, with polar bears upon his trail. i picture him n cam asleep, when
stars peep through the cloudy rents, and when he wakes / see him weep
because he owes me fifty cents. No Ia "A have a tranquil mind. or know
the peace that does not fade, if he has left som debts behind, the debts he

to scar. He's lost the peace that is sublime, his haidom is full of dents, his
fame is furnished for all time because he owes me fifty cents.

legislature of 1928 would spend more
money than any previous legislature

Hard Coal Strike Settled

The miners convention ratified the
agreement, made by their wage com.

by unanimous vote, after two
days acrimonious debate in which the
radicals sought to defeat settlement
The vote was a vivavoce, and the
ayes was thunderous one. When
the noes were called the opponents
did not vote.
The operators started Monday put
ting the mines in order, but it will be
some time before actual work of min
ing can be started. Some mines will
have to have water pumped out. All
mines will have to be cleaned of
deadly gasses; much timbering done,
and other repair work.
Very little coal will be shipped this
month from any mines.
Meanwhile remember we are mil
lions and millions of tons short of
the supply, in bins, on trains and
mined, at this time of the year.
