'Life Is short-Tell the Truth
Autumn in Wisconsin.

Autumn in Wisconsin.
The first phases of Autumn coloring
are showing now but the riot of dis
play awaits the frost, now long over
due. Sumac, lowly shrub through the
year but gorgeous in it's colors when
fall arrives, is blazing in glory and
the naples are turning to yellow and
gold. The woodbine climbs to the top
of the trees and throws a glow on the
landscape.
And soon, when the Frost comes
marking the death of Summer, we will
see the landscape in it's full flower
No artist can linn colors such as
Mother Nature paints. 1t is her final
effort at beauty before she succumbs
to the icy blast of Winter when the
streams are silent and the trees
stand stark and bare against the
snow.
So let us go into the open these
bright, warm days. Let us experience
the vigor of the air before the season
of Indian Sumer passes. Let us flush
the quail from the coverts and see
the colors of the woodland-scarlet
orange, purple, blue and gold.
A rare privilege this-to live in
Wisconsin in October.

Conservation.


During the past dry summer mill
operators and electric power produc-
ers along the Wisconsin river have
found their water supply running low.
Reservoirs have not proven sufficient
to meet the emergency.
The reason, of course, is the dry
year and the denuded forest lands.
We're the forests in existence at
stream headwaters a generous and
we'll regulated water supply would ex-
ist from natural means.
Conservationists have worked stead
lily but hopelessly on this problem.
Appeals to sentiment have been in
vain. Appeals to a political machine
have been equally vain.
But now it seems that from good
business reasons the mill operators
and power producers may take a
hand. An economic or selfish factor
has arisen. Either they must acquire
waste cut-over land and see that the
forest growth is restored and cared
for or their investment in plant and
machines is in hazard, perhaps worth
less.
This very thing, the requirement
and caring for watersheds and sup
plies is being done by power oper-
ators in the west. And very likely it
will come in Wisconsin.

that he did not want to testify
this morning because he had not

was granted.

at all or sounded loud enough for
the motorman to hear it.

LONDON, Aug. 28.-Grave

The reference to Bryan was

Sir Almeric wrote on that occa-

Aventine Opposition Threat

By International News Service

ROME, Aug. %. Wholesale
designations of the deputies of the
Aventine opposition are threatened
the resignation of Signor Orlando,
offered after the recent Naples mu-
nicipal elections and a reported at
tack upon Orlando.
Members of the opposition are
those parties headed by Giolitt,
Salandra and Orlando. All are re-
ported prepared to resign en- masse
if Orlando's resignation is accepted.
Such action would leave the F'as-
cists in the chamber, almost with
out opposition, a situation which
would be distasteful to Mussolini.
1t is probable that the premier
may take steps to keep the AVen-
tine deputies in the chamber.

The press, the independent

Crucial Test for Champions
Comes in Six-Game Clash
With AS, However
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER
Times Sports Editor

CHICAGO, Aug. 28.-Only three
games remain to be played in the
West this season by the world
champion Griffmen and they are
against the White Sox, team
that has caused the champions
more than little worry all year.
AS the White Sox have been
receiving stellar pitching for many
weeks, with the champions slowed
down to a walk with the bat,
the dope is for the home brigade
to take at least two of the re-
manning trio of contests. Further
more, the Washington pitchers
sadly need freshening if they
would finish the campaign in good
style. Right now the veterans
may find it troublesome holding
their own with the White Sox
batsmen.
Two Days Off Next Week
The champions will have two off
days next week, Monday will be
spent on the road. the gang no6
being due in Washington until 4:40
in the afternoon. Thursday is an
open date in the schedule. While
Manager Harris would like to have
six off days next week instead OF
icy flIT n
at even that pair. He realizes the
need of them.
On Tuesday and Wednesday the
champions will face a severe test
in their important struggles against
the Philadelphia Athletics. Walter
Johnson and Stan Coveleskie are
expected to start those games, but
none can tell who will complete
them Neither Johnson nor Cove
leskie is really strong right now.
Friday should be an open date,
but the Boston Red Sox have a,
postponed game from the spring
series and it will be played on that
day, giving the Red Sox games on
Friday. Saturday and Sunday.
Manager Harris, without exactly

D. c. NOT To
FEEL COAL
PINCH
Bins of Local Dealers Are
Well Stocked-Prices
Begin to Rise

With the bins of Washington
coal dealers well stocked. and the
Department of Justice about to
pass on the plan of distribution
submitted by the Coal Merchants
Board of Trade, residents of the
District need have no immediate
fear of a shortage of anthracite
coal as result of the miners
strike which goes into effect
Monday night.
Coal dealers today expressed
the opinion that the present
stock of anthracite will last from
thirty to sixty days unless there
is an unusual demand on the part
of the public, in which event it
will be disposed of much more
quickly.
Retail Prices High
Retail prices at the present time,
a survey disclosed, are the peak
prices of last winter. White Ash
stove coal is selling at from $15.25
to $15.75 with prices for egg and
nut coal at from SIS to $3.50
ton. A few dealers are quoting
nut and egg coal at $14.50 and
$14.75 a ton. Red Ash is quoted
at $16.10 to $3.50 a ton, with
Pocahontas soft coal, egg size. at
$10.75 a ton.
However, the above prices apply
only to the present stock on hand,
and according to prices quoted at
the mines today, there has already
beeen an increase of from 81 to
dealers, Whether the old line COM
panies will also jump their prices
accordingly is problematical. deal
ers declare.
See Usual Increase
Some dealers are Of the opinion
that the old line companies will fol-
low the custom Of the usual in
crease of 10 cents a ton per month
during the winter months until
their supply, which Is now on the
ground or piled in cars, is disposed
of. which practice is followed under
normal conditions.
Others feel that if the strike lasts
any length of time the old line COM
panies will also jump their prices
price to the consumer will be in
creased accordingly.
According to officials of the
American Coal Corporation, with
offices in the Transportation build
ing, independent mines yesterday
jumped the price 81 a ton, and to-
day prices were $3.50 a ton more
than they were on Wednesday.
Washington dealers handling indie
pendent coal will have to increase
their prices that mucn when their
present supply is exhausted, Off
Gals of the company said.
Coal Receipts Here
During the month of July the
number of gross tons of both hi
luminous and anthracite coal re.
ceived by Washington dealers was
considerably larger than it was
for the same month last year,
figures obtained from the Coal
Merchants Board of Trade show.
Last month local dealers received
1851 tons of anthracite COAL as
compared with but 1886 for the
same month last year, and 23,iS7
tons of bituminous coal as COM
pared with 20,143 in July 1924.
This increase in shipments was
due, it was stated, to the dealers
here, feeling that a strike was inn
minent and a desire on their part
to be we'll stocked in the event
of an emergency. However, the
amount of coal received last month
was but slightly over 1000 tons
more than was received for the
month of July 1923, when the last
coal strike took place.
