PERRY GWIN GOING UP.

Perry Gwin, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Gwin, of this city, is to become manager of the Sinclair Refining Co., at Elkhart. . It will be good news to Mr. Gwin’s parents, other relatives and friends to know that he is makfollowing is taken from the Elkhart Truth of December 10: Improvements to cost be tween 130,000 and $40,000 are to be built *next spring by the Sinclair Refining company at ite plant near the, foot of State street. The structure, for which the plans have been prepared, will consist of a. large warehouse, an office building and a garage. The warehouse is much needed, as evidenced by the fact that the company now has here about nine carloads of lubricating oil which cannot be stored in the present warehouse because it is already crowded*. . , Announcement of the company s plans for the extensive improvement was coincident w T ith the statement that, effective today, A. F. Gwin is to be manager of the company’s business in the Elkhart district^—which includes the territory Within a forty-mile radius of this city. > Mr. Gwin succeeds H. C. Wright, who has been manager here for two years and who has been promoted to assistant sales manager, with headquarters in the company s division office in Chicago. Mr. Wright, with his wife and child, will go to Chicago in a week or ten days. Mr. Gwin, since coming here last January, when he was discharged from the motor transport service of the army, has been one of the two sales agents connected with the EIK hart office.. Prior to the world war he was an employe of the Pearce oil interest in Mexico, and was a witness to many stirring and gruesome incidents during the various “revolutions” in that distrought country.

COAL STRIKE COST THE COUNTRY $100,000,000

The coal strike cost more than $100,000,000. This estimate is roughly arrived at by J. D- A. Morrow and other officials of the National Coal association. The loss of wages to the strikers is estimated at about $60,000,000. The loss to the operators is estimated at more than $20,000,000. The loss to the United States in increased costs for coal for the railroads and ships is figured lit about $38,000,000. . , . It is estimated that the loss to the miners will be made up in increased wages. Operators hope to make up their losses by mcreased production. , The government and the people who suffered for lack of coal are apparently those who will bear the burden of the strike.

SHORT FURROWS.

[By Abe Martin.] Private Stew Nugent, A. E. r., who is now located at Ehrenbreitstein on th’ Rhine, has written a letter t’ his mother here vigorously protestin’ agin th* various classes an* elements in th’ United States that are claimin’ th’ credit fer winnin’ th’ war. Private Nugent s letter appears in this week s Sliphorn an’ runs as Toilers: Dear Maw, • * * * It’s a funny thing t’ me that some o’ th’ soldiers that have got home over ther don’t organize an’ put a crimp in th’ profiteers that are claimin’ t’ have 'won th war in Washington, down on th, farm an’ in th’ factories an’ boostin Liberty loans at fancy salaries while we wui goin’ over th’ top. Things is purty high over here, but I got stung worse at ever’ stop gittin out o’ th’ United States than I’ve been stung over here even in some o’ th leadin’ Paris hotels, believe me. I know ever’buddy at home had t’ go t’ work an’ deny ’emselves lots o things t’ keep us boys at th’ front but thev didn’ have t’ git rich at it. It looks t’ me that they’ve decided t* run th’ war a couple o’ years longer even if it is all over jest so they kin clean up more money. I’m goin’ t’ try t’ git discharged jest •i-as sooi> as prices at home ,git right agin. Th’ Heinies over here treat us iest like We fought fer them, an’ I’ll begin t’ think ther right if somethin’ haint done over home t show ’em where ther wrong. Us boys know* t®£r game, but it’s purty hard t’ muff ther generosity after all we’ve been up agin. I’ve got a lunch date as I write with a swell big round German countesS* o one o’ th’ fiiyt families an’ I expect . she’ll --pin- -a* me.„ Anoiher funny thing t’ me is why a couple o’ million reg’lar guys that fought over here an’ are now at home regulatin’ various communities don’t demands t’ know what they wuz fightin when they wuz. over here an’ git some action on it. Your son. STEWART. ' ’ . ' ’ ■ . • ' :
