The charge is thatyit isj-virtually a miners with the nominal acquies-| cence of the operators for'the pur-! pose of keeping up the price of coal. This would mean extortion practiced on the consuming public by. miners and operators who be- tween them control the supply of hard coal upon which the homes of the nation depend for heat. This situation developed quite naturally. During the war both miners and operators profited enor- | mously. Anthracite mincrs made latge sums and the operators the public, adding their own exor- bitant profits. This condition has continued during the hectic years of high prices following the armis- tice. But this year saw a turn in| the tide. There were rather large ‘supplies of hard coal on hand. Had production continued there would have been no way to escape a: Te- duction in the price of coal to con- On COR Aa me mer summers, and cutting profits. Neither miners nor operators wanted that.

They looked over. the grain. “This isn’t a very bad Joss, began the farmer, and the hail adjuster (ac- cording to his story) nearly fainted. “I suppose ‘about 15 or 20:per cent would cover:it?!/\/ The adjuster went through the field, examined the heads of the rye and found that there was a consid- erable toss. if “I think this is about a 25 per cent loss,” said the adjuster. “Oh, now,” replied the farmer, “I'm afraid that’s too much.” Again: the hail adjuster ‘felt faint- nessthe heat must be getting him, he figured, for here was something new. He went over it again, and de- cided to, stick to his report of a 26 per cent loss. They went into a corn field. i “Now, I don’t think this is much,” said the farmer. And the adjustes went through the field. As he ex- plains it the corn was not as far ad- vanced as, most corn and therefor: when the hail struck the ears there was bound to be bruises result and much greater damage than if it were farther advanced. “Well, [ think this is about a 20 per cent léss,” said the adjuster. “Well, that’s’ plenty, I’m sure,”. re- plied the farmer. ee Then they went vo a wheat field. “[ don’t think I ought to take you in this field,” said the farmer. | “It isn’t much good anyway.” But the adjuster went. The field was about ruined, but it was weedy and wouldn’t have made a big crop. The adjuster decided it was a 70’per cent loss, but he called another ad- juster from an adjoining farm. He confirmed the estimate of 70 per cent. “The worth of the crop doesn’t fig- ure,” said the adjuster, “If one far- mer has a total loss on afield that” would maké. $20 an aere’-and gets only $7 an acre insurance why then if a field won’t make as much, as the insurance but is a totai loss, we have to figure it that way nevertheless.” ‘And so he did, with the farmer still shaking his head. “Now, boys,” Ke said,.“I don’t want you to give me any more than I ought to have.” “We: didn’t,” replied the hail. ad- juster, “but—say, if someone offered a $10,000 prize fpr the most honest man in North Dakota I'd sure. nom- inate you for that place.” ‘* “THE EZETINGE Many ‘Bismarck people have seen George Arliss in his stage product- ions, “Hamilton,” “Disraeli,” “The Green Goddess” and “ consider him one of the greatest actors upon the American stage: In the past he has’ been seen in roles far removed from characterizations that suggest, love, sympathy or comedy.
