The mine operators have agreed alter some strenuous moments with Secretary Hoover, to assist in the preventing of profiteering by high coal prices, regulated through a clearing house. The matter has reached the point where it was necessary to tell the operators that they must do this or the government would regulate the prices for them. A settlement of the big strike may not be so far off now. For twenty-four hours the middle west has been drencned by a heavy rain and the deluge of water added to heavy spring rains heretofore make the conditions somewhat serious, greatest of which seems to be the delay to the planting of the crops and tlie taking care of the soil. It means hard work on the part of the farmer for he must needs utilize every" min-, ute and that' just what he will do if there is half a chance. If the weather man can arrange it to suspend these cloud bursts for a few* days he will be doing a real favor. In a speech jyesterday President Harding heralded the return of this : nation to prosperity and stated that j we stand upon the threshold of a new I era. Fine sentiment it is but the ■ ‘ statement of one man, even though he be the president, does not make it so. We are coming out of a slump without doubt but it will take careful management for several years, hard work by everyone, thrifty habits and the knowledge that we must give value all the time to bring real and lasting . prosperity. We must talk things over with the other nations of the world and we must have a market and an understanding as to exchange values before we get far. Safety week comes next and nearly every city in the United States you will find placards and signs and warn- ■ ings next week. Plans are being made here to observe the occasion and it is a movement that should have the earnest support of everyone. It

In Fort Wayne recently the record for two <lpys was fifteen serious accidents . from automobiles alone and that is not the only object of warnings to be careful.

Gifford Pinchot, open enemy of the old guard, leader of the progressive element of the republican party and hated by those who believe that might makes right in American politics and government, was nominated for governor over George Alter, the standpat candidate in Tuesday's primary. This added to the Beveridge victory in Indiana has brought consternation to the powers that be in Washington and whether or not the cause was a rebuke to the national administration their own fright now exhibited makes it appear so. There is no doubt that a great majority of the people of this country are opposed to a tariff for the protection of the millionaire class. The famous PayneAldrich. law and the split in the republican ranks is well remembered but the split which will follow the enaction of the law now proposed will make that gap look like a creek compared to the Mississippi if it is ever put over. The progressives are in the saddle in the primaries and the

WHY SOME WOMEN ARE POPULAR happy, beloved and successful, while others drag out a negative existance of no use to themselves or anyone else? Except in a few cases the answer is to be found ip a state of freedom from the troubles known as "female.” The well woman radiates cheerfulness and serenity, while the ailing one repel because of her lack of these qualities. M is not necssary, however, to harbor aches and pains, and the 'blues” that make one a detriment to society. The use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has brought relief to such women, and given them a new lease on life. SPECIAL MEETING OF INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION WILL BE HELD MONDAY EVE., MAY 22 Dan M.
