The British Coal Strike The collapse of the British coal strike was regarded by all trained observers as beinp practically inevi table once it was seen tha the Rail wa.vmens union and the Transport Workers union decided not to throw m their lot with the other member oi the so-called triple alliance. The settlement effected on Tuesday is riphtfully rated as one of the severest defeats ever experienced by orpanized tabor in Great Britain. For one thinp it knocks the bottom for an indefinite time to come out of the triple alliance which, if maintained, would have been a most formidable combination and for another the strikers have lost one of the main points for which they contended, namely, a national wape pool, and in addition they have had to accept a reduction in their scale of pay. They have, however, pained in one respect. They have succeeded in establishinp the principle of profit-sharinp, which is to be tried cut for 16 months in order to determ ine its worth. They will also pet trom parliament a subsidy of £10, 000,000 to tide them over the period of wape reductions. This strike, which lasted bit days, has been by far the most costly in dustrial war known in Great Britain for several years. Not only were the million miners who were directly af fected idle, but also hundreds of thousands of other workers were thrown out of employment owinp to the shortage of fuel. Railroad ser vice was reduced to a minimum, hun dreds of ships were tied up in port for want of coal and exports were cut fully 50 per cent. While the stars in the courses join ed with the ordinary needs of hu man nature in liphtinp on the side of the employers, no one can fail to pive credit to the British prime minister for his unflagging exertions and his dogged perseverance in trying to bring about a settlement in face of the direst discouragement. It. was in a final conference with him that miners and mine owners came to the agreement which brought the strike to an end. He will be rewarded by seeing an immediate improvement in industry, communications and ex ports.- Washington Post. Warthen-Gower A marriage of great interest to Clayton and the State at large was consummated yesterday evening at seven o’clock at the suburban home of Mr. and Mrs. K. H.

CvOftsip—Often Plain Slander Is it not a fact that when a group of young people come together they are to begin a discussion of their neighbor s? When they begin such a discussion they ai;e very likely to repeat things that they have heard or tell things they have seen and put their own interpretation up on them, and very often draw their own supposition. Thus the mistakes and the faults of our neighbors be come emphasized and a little fault may be a sin in the estimation of some. Start a small snowball roll ing down a hill, and by the time it reaches the bottom you can hardly turn it, it is so large. This is exactly what happens with some of the things you repeat concerning your friends. It would be a very good thing if we would make it a rule to say nothing about others in their absence unless it is something to their credit. We would then be instrumental in help ing them build up their reputation and help them build up their charac ter; otherwise our conversation may become very harmful and develop in to plain slander. A noted writer has very well said: “A sure cure for gossip and slander is to breathe thru your nose and keep your mouth shut.” The Uplift. Somebody’s Birthday This is somebody’s birthday, Just as sure as fate; Some little boy is six years old, Some little girl is eight. Some little boy is three today, Some little girl is thirteen, Some little twins are exactly two— Two apiece, I mean. Some one is eating his birthday cake And laughing over the plums; Some one is counting her birthday dolls On all her fingers and thumbs. Some one is bouncing his birthday ball, Or winding his birthday watch, Some one is no* too wise or tall For birthday butter-scotch. Think of the beautiful birthday books, Think of the birthday cheer Think of the birthday happiness Every day in the year! Every day in the year, my dear, Every day we’re alive, Some happy child is one or two, Or three or four or five. —Selected.

JULY When the scarlet cardinal tells Her dreams to the dragon fly, And the lazy breeze makes a nest in the tree And murmers a lullaby, - It is July. When the tangled cobweb pulls The cornflower’s cap away. And the lilies tall lean over the wall To bow to the butterfly, It is July. W hen the heat like a mist-veil floats And poppies flame in the rye, And the silver note in the streamlA’s throat Has softened almost to a sigh, It is July. When the hours are so still that time Forgets them, and lets them lie 'Neath petals pink till the night stars wink At the sunset in the sky, It is July. —Susan Hartley Swett. (ireat Forbearance Recalling the kind of attack upon the Democratic administration during 191!) and 1920, one must think that the Republican administration has thus far been dealt with leniently by its opponents. In especial has there been failure to use the weapon of sa tire. Everybody must remember the floods of ridicule poured upon Pres ident Harding’s predecessor in office. No slip was too slight to escape being neld up to scorn. No blunder of a su bordinate was spared. The forces of the bitter jesters were kept constant ly mobilized. But during the past four months there has been almost a total lack of this kind of partisan capital making.—N. Y. Times. Tax Exempt Bonds A good many farmers have been asking whether the proposal of the American Farm Bureau Federation, that congress submit to the states a constitutional amendment prohibiting the issuing of any tax-free securities, would not work a hardship to the farmer. Farm loan bonds are tax ex empt, and the fear has been express ed that the prohibition of the issu ance of tax-free securities would damage the farm loan system. President J. K. Howard of the American Farm Bureau Federation made a good statement on this point the other day. He said that the tax free bonds in the country now amount to from twenty to forty million dol lars. The exemption of this volume of property in the form of tax-free bonds simply throws a greater burd en onto such property as farm lands. Mr. Howard says: “The farmer is certainly as much entitled to tax-exempt securities as anyone else; ;but if all tax exemption could be done away with, and the farmer’s bonds put on an equal basis with other bonds, he would be the gainer thereby and not a loser.”_ Wallace’s Farmer. To Preach at Wilson's Mills We are asked to state that Rev. J. W. Goodrich will preach at Wilson's Mills Baptist church next Sunday July 10th, morning and night. Manners Horace Mann gives this bit of ad vice to boys: ‘You are made to be kind, gener ous, magnamoua. If there is a b< in school who has a club foot, don’t let him know you ever saw it. If there is a poor boy with ragged clothes, don’t talk about rags in his presence. If there is a larne boy as sign him to sum; part in the game that doesn’t require running. If there is a hungry one, give him part of your dinner. If there is a dull one help him to get his lessons.. If there is a bright one be not envious of him for if a boy is proud of his talent end another envious of it, there are two great wrongs and no more talent than before. If a larger or stronger boy has injured you and is sorry for it forgive him. All the school will show by their countenance how much better it is than to have a great fuss. And remember who said, “Love your enemies, and bless them which curse you.”—Exchange. Ten Thousand Tons of Gold More than one-third of the world’s available wealth now lies in American treasury vaults. It is the biggest pile of gold that the world has ever seen, or that has been in the possession of a single country. America’s present pile of gold: Totals over $3,200,000,000 and is in excess of one-third of the total avail able world’s supply estimated at 9 billion dollars. Would completely fill 2,000 trucks of 5 tons capacity and there would be a fortune left over. If spread along a paving surface half an inch thick would effect a gol den automobile highway 20 feet wide and over 4 miles long. If piled in one room, would require more than 16,000 cubic feet of space. It is now distributed thruout the country but onethird of it is under -heavy guard at one point, constitut ing the greatest single pile of gold in the world.—Capper’s Weekly. The subject of the Sunday school lesson was, “Many are called but few are chosen” and the Sunday school teacher asked Johnny, who was very cold, what the subject of the lesson was. His reply was “Mum-m-m-any are c-c-cold, bub-bub-but few are fro-frozen.” Quick, clean heat for every kind of cooking IT is hard to appreciate the convenience and satisfaction of cooking with the New Per fection until you have actually done so. It’s a relief, especially in warm weather, to be rid of carrying coal, wood and ashes, sweep ing up litter and blacking the stove. And then you don’t have to “rush the fire” on baking days and heat up the kitchen. Two burners on the New Perfection will give you all the heat needed for any kind of baking. You can regu late the heat produced by each burner, warm something gently on one and roast over another in a New Perfection oven. The long blue chimney of the New Perfection supplies just the right draught to drive the heat of the white-tipped flame forcibly against all the cooking utensils. 1 he white tipped flame produces the most heat and does not soot up your kettles and pans. The New Perfection is simple, practical, eco nomical. Supplies heat instantly,and when you ALADDIN SECURITY OIL STANDARD OILCOMWVNV V.-. / are tnrough just shut it oft and save your fuel. You don’t have to watch it. No adjustments to take care of. A boy or girl can fill it and clean it. For the most satisfactory re sults use Aladdin Security Oil regularly. You always find it clean and efficient. New Perfection Oil Cook Stores are sold at most hardware, furniture and depart ment stores.
