most boldly executed, on the Declaration Of
Independence.
When that great document was drawn up and
ready to sign, there pause. 1t was moment
of grave Importance to all present. By placing
their signatures on this paper, they would put
themselves on record as avowed rebels against the
British crown-a hanging offense. At this juncture
John Hancock stood up, seized the pen, and wrote
his name on the parchment as large and black as
he could. By this act he advertised to the world
that he stood ready to make any sacrifice-even
life tself-in support of his principles and ideals.
His signature afforded a permanent record of his
good faith.
Advertisers who go to great expense to place
before the public printed announcements of their
products are offering similar evidences of good
faith equal guarantees Of fair dealing. Advertised
goods are reputable, dependable, vouched for by
manufacturers and dealers who are known and re-
spected. By reading the advertising in this paper

FAIRBANKS RESENTS
LABROUSSE CHARGES
Takes Issue With French Senator,
Who Assailed Movies as Detri-
mental to Children.

BY the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, September IA.
Douglas Fairbanks. president of the
Motion Picture Academy Of Arts and
Sciences. yesterday took sharp issue
with Senator Labrousse of France,
who assailed motion pictures as detri-
mental to children in a speech before
the League Of Nations Assembly at
Geneva.
"One who says that pictures gen.
orally are bad diet for children might
as sensibly say that food and books
are bad for them. 1t Is all a matter
of selection the film director said.
"It becomes a responsibility for the
parents. Mothers do not rear small
children of pate de fois gras.
Concerning optical fatigue, as
matter of fact, experiments with
school and college students carried
on over a period of months in this
studio by we'll known specialists and
reported to the medical associations
proved conclusively that while an
hour of reading printed matter causes
eye fatigue, the same time spent view
ing pictures actually results in rest
ing the eye"

ILLINOIS MINERS
CONFERENCE FAILS
Operators Refuse Offer of
Workers to Return Temp
rariIy on Old Scale.


CHICAGO, September 14.-Peace in
the Illinois coal fields seemed as far
away today as ever.
Negotiations to end the strike which
began April / failed yesterday when
the operators rejected a proposal that
the miners return TO work at the old
wage scale pending an investigation
prior to February l by joint commit
tee of four miners and four operators.
The conference then adjourned. the
miners asserting they would not bow
before the threat of hard times this
Winter, and the operators blaming
failure of the meeting on ''the inabil-
itv of the miners to free their hands
from the restrictions placed on them
last Winter by the unions national
policy committee"
Hoped for Lifting of Rules.
"Tnder these restrictions the union
representatives have no power to ne
eotiate except on the basis of the old
agreement, which the operators for
months have contended must be ad-
tusted." said Rice Miller. president OF
the Illinois coal operators.
"The operators thought that these
restrictions had been or would be lift
ed for this conference and have been
willing 10 consider any basis for
new contract without prejudice or re-
striction if the miners We're in a po-
sition 10 consider the problem in like
manner"
The offer Of the miners to return to
work under terms Of the old Jack
sonville agreement, terminated last
April, was reported from the subcom-
mittee of Walter Nesbit and Harry
Fishwick for the miners and George
~ ] fNy-
operators.
Offer Was Rejected.
A committee of nine operators re
tected this offer in a report to the
full committe. which sent its subcom.
mittee of two back into conference
with the miners subcommittee with.
out a counter proposal.
The subcommitte could not reach
an agreement, and the conference col.
lapsed.
John L. Lewis, international presi.
dent of the mine workers. stated:
Il regret most deeply that this con-
ference has failed. The miners of I'LL
noiS made a most generous offer in
good faith to return to work pending
q report of special committee"
Your ultimatum," he told the oper-
ators, lis the mailed fist without the
velvet glove. You ask the miners Of
Illinois as a condition precedent to ne.
gotiations to surrender their wage
scale. We have offered peace with
honor to both sides. You act as il
you believe the pangs of hunger or
the winds of the coming Winter will
80 penetrate the thin garments of the
women of our mining camps that they
will ask their men to bow their knees.
Let me say to you that you are fol.
lowing a '-the-wisp."

THE MAN WHO DELIVERS
THE GOODS

There's a man in the world who is
never turned down
Wherever he chances to stray;
He gets the glad hand in the pop
ulous town
Or out where the farmers make
hay.
He's greeted with pleasure on deserts
of sand.
And deep in the aisles of the woods;
Wherever he goes there's a welcom-
ing hand-he's
The man who delivers the goods.
The failures of life sit around and
complain,
The gods haven't treated them
white;
They've lost their umbrellas when
ever there's rain
And they haven't their lanterns at
night.
Men tire of failures who fill with
their signs
The air of their own neighborhoods;
There's a man who is greeted with
love-lighted eyes-he's
The man who delivers the goods.
One fellow is lazy and watches the
clock
And waits for the whistle to blow;
And one has a hammer with which
he will knock,
And one tells story of woe.
One has a crouch on, temper that's
bad,
And one is a creature of moods;
So it's time for the joyous and roll
licking lad-for he's
The man who delivers the goods.
