It's a hundred to one that you will 'get concessions that will surprise you. But do it, understand, just as you would send your money to a mail order house. The chances are that your local merchant if ofttimes handicapped in purchas-- ing power by the fact that ne has all his money tied up in giving credit to the people that will come in his place, order a week's supply on credit and when the wages come in at the end of the month send the bulk of it to a mail order house.

There are not enough miners part of the time, and too many miners the rest of the time. There are twice as many mines as Are needed, with a 4000--year supply beneath the ground ,and yet the American public has to suffer or be robbed. Coal profits of the operators are seldom normal--it's either a feast or a famine with men who operate our coal mines. Out of every 2000 pounds of coal mined only 76 pounds are converted in-- to heat energy--the rest is waste. It was the same way with crude oil at first--before an organizer came Along in the person of Mr. Rockefellér and he put the oil products in the hands of the people.

Chicago Daily News Gives History of Editor's Trip to "Orchard" The Chicago Daily News says: William J. Smith, one of the own-- ers and editors of the Waukegan Sun, has been named by--Gov. Small as the seventh member of the Illi-- nois commerce commission. For more than a year politicians have been wondering who was going to get this juicy plum, which pays $7,-- 000 per year. Smith's appointment to a state position bas been etpected in Wau-- kegan for some time, but that he landed such & fat job has created surprise. Residents of Waukegan say that ever since the trial of Gov. Small there last June, William J. Smith and his brother, Frank G. Emith have been claiming that "Billy can have the best job at. the governor's disposal.": Friday's ap-- pointment is looked upon by the peo-- ple of Waukegan as demonstrating the truth of claims of the Smith brothers that they were close to the governor. ts 5 4'as «_ Formerly Termed Smail Unit. -- | The flop of the Waukegan Sun and its owners into the Small band-- wagon after the governor's trial was moved there was one of the sensa-- tions of Lake County for the Sun had Iambasted Small from the time | he entered the primaries against| John--G.

'During the campaign of 1920, after it had been disclosed that Smail had paid back into the state treasury $143,000 in interest money belonging to the state which he had held onto for more than a year after his term of office had expired, the Sun said that Small "is unfit to hold offjce," and that he had "ilegally held back $143,000 of the taxpayers' money." After Small's election the Sun "quieted down." The theory in Waukegan was that the Smiths de-- cided to see what could be done about saving "Billy's job" as public administrator. Once in a while conciJiatory comments on Smail ap-- peared in the Sun, especially after his indietment in Springfeld. After the case came to Lake county and Small himself arrived in Waukegan last fall and held a "*conference with Attorney _ Alexander F.
