ORANGE IS GETTING DOWN TO
l. real business in the Runr district
these days. Extensive stores of coke
were seized at Blumenthal, Westerholt
and other places recently, one days
cleanup resulting in 1900 tons being
secured and forwarded to French ter
ritory. German miners now are, work
ing under the guns Of the poilus, pill
ing up fuel for the invaders. There Is
said to be a growing spirit of restless
ness among them. due to the fact
their pay has not been increased to
keep pace with the added cost of liv-
ing imposed by the French occupation.
An official report by the French shows
that they operated $50 trains in n
day recently, but the Germans counter
by saying that only ten of them were
freight. Discovery of eighteen loco
motives hidden away by the Germans
was also made, while the allies have
seized 100000 marks, about $1,000
American money, from the city treas
ury Of Dusseldorf, and some 100000
marks from the p~ostOfice administra-
ton building as a reprisal for damage
done to military transport lines by
German subjects.
In addition a form of curfew has
been applied in the occupied district
that forbids people leaving the in
vaded zone between the hours Of 8 p.
m. and 5 a. m. Workers who live in
one district and work in the other
are being put to supreme discomfort
by the new rule. The events of the
week show that France is employing
the mailed fist harder than ever in
order to enforce it's demands, n i'm
mediate result being an appeal by the
financial barons at Berlin to their gov
eminent to seek a compromise looking
for the evacuation of the occupied ter
ritory. Some recent heavy failures
among German manufacturers have oc-
Cured, while stocks traded in on the
Bourse in Berlin showed a marked de-
cline the past week as a result of
the strangling process that is occur
ring to all German industry. An Off
cial pronouncement may be expected
any time HOW from CldnCellOT Juno.
While many of the financial giants of
Germany are understood to have trans
serred vast amounts of gold to other
countries for safe keeping, yet their
'osses by the destruction of the home
factories would be more than they will
ingly will face, according to French
authorities, who are strengthening the
pressure nearly every day.
One report from Berlin says that
Frances terms for withdrawal from
the Ruhr district have been made
known, semi-oficially, to Secretary of
State Bergman. According to the re-
port it is said a total of Al, 000, 000, 900
gold marks or S11. 100000 is de-
manded as a basis of reparation.
France offers, if an agreement is
reached, to permit q moratorium of
two years. In addition the allies are
said to insist that the Ruhr district
be internationalized with France in

JUDGE WALTER EVANS, UNITED
y States district judge for the west
ern district Of Kentucky, has ruled
that dry agents cannot stop and search
automobiles for liquor without a specif-
ic search warrant. He is reported
to have made the curious ruling that
''the prohibition law is not the supreme
law of the land" a construction that
win be novel to manv who had thought
# had become part of the Constitution
of the land as the famous Eighteenth
Amendment. More recently Judge
John R. Hazel of Buffalo, in the Fed
eral court at Syracuse, N. Y, ruled
that prohibition enforcement officers
could not enter homes in search of
liquor.
On the other hand Federal Judge
John NJ. Killits, at Cleveland, SEN
fenced Joseph Biener, OF Pittsburgh,
a liquor law violator who had pleaded
mot guilty. and then been found
guilty, to the full limit of the law,
sending him to Atlanta penitentiary
for two years, fining him $4,000 and
in addition saddling the court costs
on him. Judge Kil'its declared that

draw a second indictment to secure his
conviction and that he would have to
reimburse the government for the ex-
oense to which it had been put.

WITH FLYING COLORS
By F. II. WALKER

IF YOU wish in your particular

tination of more than ordinary impor.
lance, press untiringly forward in all
kinds of weather.
Let neither heat nor cold deter OF
swerve you from your purpose when
once you have decided your course.
Pay no attention to the sneers of the
frivolous. Keep your mind firmly
fixed on you resolve and march res0-
lutely ahead.
There will be times when you will
be exhausted, footsore and discour-
aged; when opposing winds beat furi-
ously and you seem to lack sufficient
strength to make another step for
ward. When these depressing periods
overtake you, sit down and rest
awhile.
Ever remember that to get the best
it Is necessary to give the best. Do
not offend those beneath you with
gruff words. Be uniformly courteous.
Break no promise. Withhold judg-
ment. Be fair in business and keep
off the velvety grass-grown plot of
your neighbor.
The perpleYities that vex your spirit
are familiar to all humanity In all
walks of life. No n by any manner
of means can escape them, but 1T Is
possible for anyone to overcome them.
Use your mind. Be a rational be
ing. By patience, well-doing and
faith, turn your threatened defeat
into victory. Thousands of noble men
and women who have passed this way
before you, thus obtained mastery
over themselves, Scared outwardly
with the wounds of battle, but I'M
blemished within.
Use your hands in righteous work ;
your eyes to look up to the beautiful
arch overhead; your ears to hear
good; your tongue to praise God and
to cheer and encourage others less
fortunate than yourself.
Rather than condemn, hold your
peace.
Purge your heart of covetousness
and hate.
Envy is a useless waste Of energy
which produces only mischief and
misery. The combined envy of the
whole world cannot remove a grain OF
sand or grow a blade of gress.
Be charitable, kindly and indus
trious in whatever field you may be
sowing or reaping.
Nothing is impossible to the man
woman who elects to do these
things and he and she will eventually
surmount every obstacle and march
triumphantly with flying colors to the
long-sought destination.

FORTUNES IN WRITING SONGS.
Popular Fancy, and Wealth

The announcement that F. 3.

at seventy-five, and Is shortly to be
married, adds a new chapter to the
romance Of ~song-making.
Mr.. Weatherly, many Of whose songs
were set to music by Michael May

Adams" has written some Of the
worlds most popular songs, among
them Nancy Lee" ''They All Love
Jack" "Nirvana." and THE. Holy

be still making anything from 10000
to f14.OOO in royalties every year.

brought Osmond Carr f28,OOO, and the
author and composer of Her Golden

netted 100000, while THE DOGGY

In a wholly different category come
such popular favorites as "a Perfect
Day" and 1.-THE Lost Chord" yet Miss
Carrie Jacob-Bond's publishers have
sold more than 100000 copies of the
former, and Sir Arthur Sullivan re-
ceived 10000 in royalties on the lat

MettIe of the Minister.

The Buckeye s~choolhouse stood on
the extreme west side of the village.
A plain one-room building of the gen
eral type of the period-paint gone /;
we~ather-beaten no belfry no orna-
mentation; three windows on each
side; a chimney at the back; a bat
tered door in front.
The Festival in celebration of the
close of school was a distinct event at
Buckeye.
The pupils desks had been removed
and placed around the walls. A long
table extended across the rear. The
rest of the room was clear, except for
the great box stove that stood in the
center of the floor, rusty red, and huge
enough and deep enough to swallow a
stick of cord-wood whole.
Everything was free, each family
that sent children to school bringing a
well-filled basket. And such a feast
as the housewives of the -neighborhood
furnished forth could have been found
nowhere else in the land except there
in the great Flatwoods that lay,
warped and wild, along the north bank
of the upper Wabash.
Uncle Nick was there-which meant
that things were not likely to drag,
for he was the wisest, wittiest, and,
as he himself said, "the no-accountest'
man in the Flatwoods-a free-and-
easy, happy-go-lucky, catch-as-catch-
can sort of nan.

a man in his pride and prime, he had
been one of Harrison's most trusted
scouts, and had borne an honorable
part in the grim and deadly struggle
that took place in the early dawn upon
that swamp-bound point of woodland
on the Tippecanoe.
Aunt Liza, the "other half of Uncle
Nick, was there too. But if he had
an oversupply of jollity in his DISPOSE
ton. she had a far greater over
supply of grimness. Aunt Liza was
the one person in the world on whom
Uncle Nick's wit fell flat.
In all matters pertaining to their few
acres of bottom land, and in their
cabin home a little way up Eagle Hol-
low road, her word was law.
Uncle Nick was perched upon one
of the desks, his back to the wall, his
eyes twinkling merrily, already an in
terested audience around him roaring
at his drollery, when Jack Warhope
pushed his way through the jam of
men and boys at the door and Joined

schoolhouse.
The Reverend Caleb Hopkins ar
rived, as he had promised-he and
Texie and Mrs. Mason. He had been
a%nxiously awaited, since it had long
been the custom to have the minister
sit at the first table and launch the
festival" with a blessing.
Zeke Polick-likewise by ancient
custom, a sort of self-appointed master
of ceremonies-his sharp Ratchet face
scrubbed shiny with homemade soap
perfumed with sassafras, pounced on
the preacher and hurried him to the
head of the table, with Widow Mason

on his left, and as many pupils as pos
sible lined up along the sides of the
board.

honor because of its size and beauty,
he hacked himself off an enormous
slice.
There is that about a naked knife

sharp steel drawn across warm flesh
that no other weapon inspires. Women
gasped; children flew in terror to their
parents; the desperate was left with
the cleared center of the floor to him

The reference was too plain to be
misunderstood. Not a man there but
had heard of the shoot-up in the post
office the evening before. Every eye
turned toward Jack Warhope, stand
ing a step or two in front of the
shrinking circle-for the others had
drawn back and he had not.
The eyes of the desperate followed
the eyes of the crowd. Slouching
across the floor till the two stood face

dull savagery.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"PoRk-BARREL"

WHEN, in the midst of a
w congressional discussion
upon some measure which en-
tails the expenditure of large
sums of money in different parts
Of the country-for example, the
rivers and harbors bfll-one
member will denounce the bill
as a poorly disguised pork-bar-
rel", the nearing is at once ap-
parent to anyone familiar with
American parliamentary slang,
for 1t has come to be the accept
ed equivalent of an attempt to
secure public money for private
or semi-private purposes. A
"pork-barrel" measure, there
fore, is one which would enrich
certain districts at the expense
of the public treasury, either by
providing for costly improve
ments or by spending money I'M
necessarily.
To find the genesis Of the
phrase we have to go back to
the earlier days of the republic,
when the majority of the citi-
zens were farmers who, during
the winter, we're forced to live
on salt pork. If their supply
was adequate and their barrels
well filled, they said they had no
need to worry about a long,
hard winter-the pork-barrel
would take care of them. In a
similar, but more metaphorical
sense, they now look to their
congressman to take care of
them by securing at least a par
ton of the 'pork-barrel' legis-
lation, which will lead to profits
on labor, land and supplies.
