ITEJN Henry R. Paxton was attending school In hi® home town, Danville, 111., first the graded schools and then high school, he had one predominating hobby— writing pieces for publication and always exploding something.

Tn other words he had the publicity promoters Instinct. Even in his school days it looked a sure thing he would some day be the advertising manager of a big concern or elae advance agent of a Bhow.

Well, those who mapped out young Mr. Paxton's future along these lines had the proper dope for now at the age of 22 he finds himself In charge of the publicity department of the local branoh of the International Harvester company, which Is a fine Job for a lad of hid age. Furthermore he qualified before being appointed to the position he now so satisfactorily fills.

After graduating from Danville high school, Mr. Paxton spent two years in the military department of the Allegheny collegiate Institute at Alders».n, W. Va. Besides the military acadomv, conducted after the manner of (he Culver school In northern Indiana, t'.ie Alderson ha.s a gii'lu' seminary.

Ib Real Captain.

Although Mr. Paxton Isn't often addressed as "captain" and doesn't encourage the use of the title, as personally applied, he really Is a sure enough captain of a semi-military organization, and a medal holding captain at that. Mr. Paxton was captain of Alderson company H, and at the end of a school term was given a medal which proclaimed him the best company comn»nrider of the year. When lie left Alderson Mr. Paxton WHS nmde captain on the personal staff of Governor Glasscock of West Virginia and went into camp with the governor and staff.

At school Mr Paxton was recognized a* a star in athletics. As a second baseman on the diamond he displayed much of the brilliancy that made Johnny livers the wonder of the oaneball world and ho was right smart of a rlfTht halfback on tho Allegheny eleven.

But. while more than holding his own on the field young Paxton was also making the purely "literary fellows" hustle. He was secretary of a Greek fraternity and was mixed up in debates and oratorical contests.

Mt. Paxton began his business career in the advertising department of a railroad In Chicago. KYom there he entered the publicity department of the Chicago branch of the International Harvester company nnd from there was transferred to the Terre Haute branch laBt July,

Incidentally the looal branch of the I. H. Co. has had the biggest year since the branch was established.

In Mi^at of Campaign.

Just now the I.

H. Co. is In tho

midst of a systematic advertising campaign ^n which newspapers and magazines of course play the Important part. However, under Mr. Paxton's direction the company is sending from here literature of a convincing nature to people who might be interested in the contrivances turned out by the concern. Farmers receive pamphlet* explaining in detail the v/orklngs of the implements advertised in a more general way in newspapers. The International Harvester company •pent $2,BOO,000 last year in advertising alone. There are eighty-eight branches In the United States and eight in Canada.

Inasmuch as the International Harvester company has property interests in every country on tho globe except Jr.dla, with employes fighting for every country Involved in the war It Is interesting to know just how much the business of the giant concern has been affected by the big conflict. Alex, l^egge, an officer of the I. H. Co., in this connection, makes this statement: "I have recently returned from a trip through all of the European territory in which we have any considerable volume of business, and am glad to say that the harvester organization

and business are In better shape than one could expect to find them. We have sustained very little loss on buildings, stocks of goods, or any of the company's property in the territory affected. Collections on outstanding notes and accounts are very satisfactory, and the financial losses to date are very light, except, of course, the loss In earnings, due to the falling off in trade, and this we must expect as long as the war continues. All of the harvester branch houses and general agencies are open and transacting such business as can be attended to. it will be a source of real satis

President Stewart spoke In favor of the resolution. He suggested, however, that the district ask this change in the international convention since the in ternational organisation pays half of the expenses of this office. On the mo tlon of Delegate D. L. Sims, the resolu tlon was amended and passed that the locals be asked to consider this matter.

Wash House Bill Up.

A resolution on the Bland wash house bill passed by the last legislature also was referred to the local unions for their sanction. It was pointed out by the resolution that not enough miners are taking advantage of the bill to demand wash houses. The la.r provides that a coal company must erect and maintain a free wash house upon the petition of twenty miners.

After this resolution was acted on tho grievance, committee asked for President Stewart and he was called into the committee room for action on the charges filed against htm by the Bicknell, IndL, local. At this time Robert Dagan, seoretary of the committee, resigned And his plaoe was taken by Sidney Sharp. Dagan explained he felt hs oould not serve on aooount of the reflections concerning him in regard to the Stinson case.

Ask Weskly Pay Roll.

The weekly pay roll will be demanded in the next contract, it Was decided by the convention in adopting a resolution to this effect. The resolution will be broujght up at the convention, when the contract will be considered.

A resolution to demand that sons of miners be given places so that they can serve their apprenticeships with their fathers was referred to the next session by a vote of the convention. Delegates Bell, "William Houston and others spoke in favor of the resolution.

Secretary Mitch asked the permission to read a letter, and the delegates granted him the right. The letter was from the Cass, Ind., local and stated that the local had been misled regarding the call for the special convention. Delegate Cook, of Cass, explained to the convention that the men who spoke in favor of the special convention had said nothing about charges being preferred against the district officials.

The grievance committee then brought in its report that President Stewart had been exonerated from the charges brought against him by local No. 362, of Bicknell. Delegate Head, who made the charges, told the convention that the matter had been settled to his satisfaction and that he was ready to take President Stewart by the hand and be his friend. A motion was then carried to seat Stewart as chairman of the meeting. John Mo-

President Stewart then asked for the report on the board's action in the Shiel case. After the report, William Houston asked the convention to give the miners who elected Shiel a chance to vote on him by the referendum and recall. Debate on this motion brought disorder. A motion .then was introduced to table the motion to have a referendum vote taken and this brought about further tumlt. A motion to adjourn was carried during the confusion which followed.

Since the opening of the special convention last Tuesday progress in coming to a definite settlement on the questions to be taken up by the miners' delegates has been checked materially by the frequent clashes. Charges and counter-charges have been made on the floor and as a result a motion was passed almost unanimously yesterday that the "mud-slinging" should end.

When the convention opened Tuesday Delegate Inglert hinted charges against President Ed Stewart ana John MoCallum was seated as chairman. The permissible powder controversy involving bribe charges against William Stinson, a member of the miner's powder committee, were taken up. Stinson was charged with accepting a bribe from William Johnson, superintendent of the Oliphant-Wasson Coal Co., for signing the powder contract. He denied the charge and a committee was appointed to go to Vincennes to take the testimony of Mr. Johnson. Wednesday this committee returned. In the meantime the charges of intoxication against Vive-President Shiel were taken up and he was voted guilty.

After spending many hours In listening to the charges against a bribe and censored him for signing the contract. Stinson retailiated by stating he would make charges against President Stewart, Secretary Mitch and Board Member Raney.

Haute Girl is Rival to Pavlowa

Miss Ernestine Myers, the Terre Haute girl who has been following in the footsteps of Pavlowa, is winning recognition as a classic dancer in olties near to Chicago. The Muskegon Chronicle says of a recent entertainment in which Miss Myers was the star: "An exhibition of classical dancing such as has rarely been seen in Muskegon before, was given at the Muskegon Woman's club yesterday afternoon by a clever little dancer from Chicago, Miss Brnestina Myers. Her exposition of some of the latest theories of the classic dance was at times truly remarkable and won her audience to admire 'on of her talent. "It was In the oriental dances that she was particularly fine. A sinuous movement of the arms, an unique feature introduced by her in the Egyptian ballet, caused the beholder to marvel.
