The public interest in fuel is in

Government might we'll be justified
In brushing aside the interests of
bott workers and operators If the
need for fuel became imperative. The
anthracite coal operators and work
ers today are engaged in a struggle
over wages and working conditions
that has caused a suspension of min
ing in the hard coal field for nearly
three months. 1t will be remembered
that the operators have offered to
submit the case to arbitration from
the first, while the workers have re-
fused. Now comes a threat to tie
up the union mines in the soft coal
field.
The situation has an ugly look.
The people are doing what they can
to meet the lack of anthracite through
the use of bituminous coal and other
substitutes. AS it happens, the great
bulk of soft coal now Is produced by
non-union mines-as much as 70 per
cent, 1T has been claimed. But a
strike in the union soft coal mines
would cut off a now much needed
supply Of bituminous coal.
The Jacksonville agreement, entered
into in February, 1924, sought to keen
the wages at the high level they had
reached. 1t was expected that this
would force the weaker mines to close
The plan, however, has not worked

The coal problem is a difficult one.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Too True.
It's cheering, they tell us, to seek for
the Truth,
Dark thoughts Of deception forsak-
ing.
It's helpful to age and inspiring to
youth
Discoveries new to be making
And yet, when some devious deeds you
descry
Concerning both glory and money,
You are apt to remark, with a tear in
your eye,
Some things are too true to b
funny
We turn to the light with a confidence
strong.
1t shows us a maze of pretending.
A well meaning person appears in the
wrong.
A trickster seems safe in offending.
We cannot keep laughing at life every
day.
The skies will not always be sunny
We're forced to admit, as we strive to
be gay,
Some things are too true to be
funny.

MexicO's Great Curse
Is Lack of Education

Mexico desires the world to know
that radicalism, that has in recent
years overrun the country, has been
toned down and that there is a greater
welcome for participation by foreign
nations in the commercial affairs of
the republic.
On October 80, the City of Mexico
will celebrate the six hundredth ami
versary of its founding by the Aztecs.
According to the fables of the Mexicans
1t was in 1926 that the race in it's
travels south came upon the omen
foretold for the site of their new city
an eagle on a cactus holding a ser
pent in its talons-and on that spot
they built Tenochititilan, later looted
by Cortez in his conquest of Mexico.
Mexico will make much of this ami
versary and will hold an international
fair. Many countries will participate.
While Mexico, however, may believe
that the worst of radicalism has pass
ed, travellers have not received that
impression. The affairs of the country
are actually in the hands of agitators
who promised SO much to the workers
that it has been necessary to seize
land to give them. The workers in
turn are not equipped to cultivate the
soil and the next harvest in Mexico
will produce far less than during the
years of Mexican prosperity.
The great curse in Mexico is the
lack of education. The poems, who
have slaved for so many generations,
need something else besides land; they
need to be equipped mentally to rely
upon their own initiative in farming
or enterprise Of any kind.-San Ber.

But this Is only one less, whereas

to be hailed as evidence Of progress
