EASTER

Easter, the season when we incline our hearts to the god of spring, is with us . once more Typical of renewed life, of restored vitality, it seems as though some of its force -and significance had gone. It finds us this time with all that niakes life dear, jeopardized, and life’s beauties marred and tarnished by ruthlessness, it finds us in a death grapple with the forces of . evil to retain the ideals so long typified by its ever joyous return. Taken from the myths and mysti-

eisins of pagans, and grafted onto a Christian stem, it has stood for centuries as a symbol of a risen Lord, a Lord who has triumphed over death and brought confusion to his enemies. It has been to human kind a source of inspiration, assuring them that though the forces of darkness may triumph for a season, there comes a time, when the deadness of winter shall have passed, when the good, the lovely, the pure and the alive of earth shall rise up and put to rout all enemies and claim the sovereignty that Mother Nature has conferred upon them. And never did human conditions lirore loudly call for an Easter of the heart, the soul and the mind than in this year of our Lord 191?. Newer was the human race more in need of the regenerating influences of a, divine springtime than now. With many of earth’s teeming millions wandering in spiritual darkness, freezing in the arctic regions of selfishness and greed, prowling in the under-world of deceit and avarice, there is much need of an awakening. Dare we hope that this Easter will see such an awakening? Can we hope to see during the year lying out before us, old passions and prejudices die and new and purer growths take their place? May we hope to see the earth's millions calmed and soothed and divested of the fever of avarice and hate that seems to dominate them, and brought under the milder sway of a new and better life, a life drawn from a purer fount? If we would thus hope, we must not lose sight of the fact that before every Easter there must be a winter—a death. Resurrection does not signify the bringing to life of the old, but the substituting for it a new life. “'Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth alone,” is also true today as when it was uttered by the great Apostle of the Truth. Let us, then, who would look for an Easter of all creation, look to our own hearts and lives and see if we have consigned to death all the vile and ignoble passions so wont to foregather in that very complex habitation. Let ns be sure that our outlook upon life is such that we may welcome the pure growth that a spiritual spring shall unfold before our vision. May the grain of wheat, typical of the old man with all his passions, truly “fall into the earth and die,” then in its place shall arise such a flower of love and beauty as shall

dazzled our vision and enrapture our souls.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

I dig up coin to push the war. and grin in cheerful style; that’s what iny faithful mug is so show a beaming simile. We spoil our gifts if we look sour, when handing out. the dust, and cave around for half an hour expressing our disgust. The tightwad heaves a heartfelt groan as lie brings forth his roll, and says, I s'pose I'll give a bone, 'but I am in the hole.' There are so many calls on me, to help this cause or that, that in another month or three, 1 shall be busted flat. So here’s a dollar you may spend in sinking German boats; I wish this ding-donged war would end, before we lose our gouts.” And so he gives with grudging hand, who ought to blithely shout, “I 11 soak my autos and my land, to help our soldiers out!” Solicitors come round to me, and say, “We need some scads, to send some junk across the sea for our brave soldier lads.” I say to them, “You jrome along at this, the best of times, for yesterday I sold a song that brought me in some dimes,” So I dig up my lucre pouch and give the kopecks there; I d be 'ashamed to show a groucn, to cuss or paw the air.

UNITED STATES FUEL ADMINISTRATION

(Continued from page one)

other words, $1.70 per ton may be added to the wholesale price of coal, plus freight and the war taxes ■ added. . To illustrate, the price of Indiana lump coal is $2.65 at the mines; add to this the freight of $1.07 and a 3c war tax, making the cost to the dealer $3.75; to this price may be added $1.70 gross margin, making a total of $5.4 • per ton to the consumer. Included in the $1.70 gross margin is 50c per ton delivery charge, binning charge, shrinkage in transportation, certain overhead expenses in handling coal, depreciation of plant and equipment and the dealers (profit. Any purchaser who desires and does deliver his own coal to his own bins may secure the same at a reduction of 50c per ton.

The delivery charge of 50c per ton does not include the extra cost of delivery where it is necessary to carry the coal from the wagons to the bins. As fuel administrator for this county I urge all consumers‘of coal within my jurisdiction to supply themselves with coal for the coming season, as it will not only be a convenience to yourself but a patriotic duty that each individual owes to the government at this particular crisis. If any person is without coal during the coming winter season at a time when it will be impossible for the railroads to deliver coal, do not blame the fuel administrator, but blame yourself. The Federal Fuel Administrator has formulated a set of rules relative to the purchase of coal for the earning season which are published below for the guidance of all concerned. B. F. FENDIG, County Fuel Administrator.

United States Fuel Administration for Indiana. To County Fuel Administrators: 1. On and after April 1. 1918, the jobber's compensation, if any, must come out of the government price at the mine and may not be added to it. 2. On all anthracite coal bought betweep April 1 and September 1 there will be a reduction of thirty cents a ton. in the f. o. b. government mine price. 3. Every consumer should 'be urged to place at once with his regular dealer an order for his reasonable requirements for the year ending March 31, 1919. Coal will not be supplied through this office after March 18, 1918. 4. Until further notice, no domestic consumer of coal or coke may purchase, receive, or otherwise take possession of, more coal or coke than is required for his actual and necessary requirements prior to March 31, 1919. If such consumer already has a quantity on hand he may receive only such additional amount as will make up his actual and necessary rtequirements prior to that date. 5. No person, firm, association or corporation, whether acting alone or in conjunction with others, may, directly or indirectly, provide any

domestic consumer of coal or coke with more coal or coke before March 31, 1919, than necessary, with amount already on hand, to meet the actual and necessary requirements of such consumer prior to that date. 6. On and after April 1, 1918, and 'until further notice, no retail dealer may, unless authorized by the Federal Fuel Administrator for Indiana, deliver or cause to be delivered to any domestic consumer more than two-thirds of his normal annual requirements of anthracite coal until each domestic consumer wh© has placed his order with said dealer and is willing to receive delivery of the same has received*

two-thirds of his normal annual requirements for the year ending March 31, 1919; provided, however, that orders of six tons or less may be filled in full. 1 7. Car load or barge load lots may not be delivered to a single domestic consumer or to a groupe of consumers except with the permission of the county fuel administrator. 8. Dealers shall file with the county fuel administrator on the first of each month,-a statement containing the names and addresses of consumers to whom deliveries have been <made during the previous month and the quantity delivered to each. > 9. An inspection system to enforce the mining of clean coal is being established by the United Stat© Fuel Administration. Under the regulations, the district representative, Mr. Charles G. Hall. Terre Haute, will have charge of the system in Indiana. 10. It is desired that on and ■after April 1, 1918, there be ’in ■ effect no orders establishing conservation restrictions except those issued from Washington through this office. EVANS WOOLLEN.

♦ Safeguarded Investments Are your dollars Loafers or Workers? Money that is not invested pays no returns, any more than grain in the bin will grow crops unless planted. Every man or woman with money should put that money to work. Jay Gould once said that SIOO invested in the right thing at the right time would earn as much as a man steadily employed. He died worth hundreds of millions. The average man or woman knows nothing about how or where to invest money to get good returns from it. It is our business to advise investors where and how to invest, where investments oan earn the best returns with the utmost of safety.
