INJUNCTION USED
TO CUT STRIKERS
Governmeent Was Prepared to
Fight the Issue to a Finish
Says Attorney General.
I
Washington.?Termination of the
soft coal strike was not a settlement,
but a victory for the Government,
Attorney-General Palmer told the
Senate sub-committee, investigating
the strike.
"The Government has won its
fight," Mr. Palmer said. "There was
no settlement, in,actuality; the men
and union officers have compiled
with our demands and returned to
work."
Attorney-General Palmer, told the
committee that the Department of
Justice sought to prevent the strike
by proceeding under the so-called fuel
control law. "We also alleged that
the trike was a breach of a contract
made between the union and the operators,"
he added
"You have never changed your
mind that the strike was a breach of
law?" Senator Townsend, Republican,
of Michigan, inquired.
"I never have," Mr. Palmer returned.
"An injunction was issued in
Federal Court and still is in effect."
Obey Order of Court.
He added that the miners now are
obeying the order of the court.
> "Did they always obey it?" the
Senator asked.
"The letter of the court was obeyed
from the first," the attorney-general
replied," but insofar as geitting men
actually back to work it was not as
successful as we thought it would

Listed below are ten requirements
which I think every tenant should
have, says a writer in the Oklahoma
Farmer-Stockman.
First. He should select a place \v:
can properly handle, neither too larg ;
nor too small.
Second. He should have a written
vcontract with the landlord.
Third. If the p'ace doesn't exactly
suit, try to suit the place, and don't
move about every year in search of a
better one.
Fourth. Keep the fence rows clean,
This idea may seem foolish to some,
But I krow of an instance where h
landlord went to a tenant and asked:
"Are you the man who keeps yout
fence rows clean Y" The tonant re
plied that ho did so. "Then," salt
the landlord, "you are the tenant 3
want to live on my place."
Fifth. an early riser and try t<
work (he place a* if it were you
ewn."
Sixth. Do not expect too, much o
the landlord in the way of improvini
the place, the first year o.specialt\
He doesn't know what kind of car
you are going to take of the plac
until he has seen you tried for
while.
Seventh. Be fair and candid in a
vour dealings with your landlord.
Eight. Look on him as being yoi
partner in business instead of
"stuck up city dude," as some ai
wont to term their landlords.
Ninth. Try to build up the con
munity you are in, as a good citizt
should do,
Tenth. Last, but not least, he pi
tient and build your position up st<
by stop, but don't be satisfied wi^
being a tenant farmer all your lii
Set your aim on being a land own
yourself as soon as you are able*
o
IMPROVEMENTS MAKINfi.
Everywhere we go in the rural d
tricts of this county, we see all su
improvements going on as the peo]
are able to make, considering t
high cost of labor and all mated
that arc required.
There is spirit of progress and <
elopraent going on among our p<

* HYDRO ELECTRICITY
FOR PALESTINE
; Norwegian Engineer Plans to
Utilize Variant in Levetx
of Seas.
Christiania.?A Norwegian engineer
lias devised a plan to provide
; water and electric power for Palestine
at an initial cost of $40,000,000.
Albert Hjorth, of this city, proposes
to utilize the variation of the level
1 between the Mediterranean and the
Dead Sea and, by means of a tunnel
for water; to provide electric power to
be used for pumping stations, irrigation
purposes. ,
Mr. Hjorth proposes to dig a tunnel
37 miles long from the Mediter1
ranean to the Dead Sea, passing under
Jerusalem. This tunnel would
carry water from the Mediterranean
to the western slopes of the lower end
oi the Jordan valley. Thence the
water would pass through pipes down
to the Dead Sea, where a power plant
transform th<* water power into electricity
to be distributed as light and
power through the country. This
power would be used to drive a pump
ir.g staton at the southern end of the
sea of Galilee (Lake Gennesaret).
lhe surface of tho Dead Sea is
about 1,300 feet below sea level; that
of the Sea of G&ililce 650 feet below
sea level.
Preliminary estimates Mr. Hjorth
states, show that torts of thousands of
horsepower might be developed ;n
this way by means of a tunnel carrying
20 toils of water per second. He
estimates the rise of the Dead Sea
caused by this at not more than part f
of a yard per year. The surface of
the sea which is now about 4,000
square miles would be allowed to increase
to about 4,800 square miles.
Two canals would be built running ,
parallel with the river Jordan an l
from these canals water could be distributed
among the fields sloping toward
the Jordan sufficient, it is claim
ed, for the irrigation of many hundreds
of thousands of acres.
Mr. Hjorth claims it would be no
more difficult to build this tunnel
than the proposed railway tunnel under
the English Channel and estimates
the cost of a Dead ' Sea tunnel
(double) with a minimum area of
135 square feet at $40,000,000, to
which must be added the cost of the
power plants, factories, canals and
irrigation works. It is pointed out
that the estimated cost involved in
thiii plan does not compare unfavor

Mr. Iljorth's plans have met with
great sympathy among leading scientific
authorities and practical on*
gineers in Norway. It is proposed to
send out a Norwegian technic-sicicn
tific expedition which, with the an
ticipatcd support of tjie governments

THE SEED SITUATION.
Clemson College.?From present
indications there is danger of ? fOtysiderable
shortage of good planting
seed for the spring of 1920, according
to advices of the Office of Extension
Work in the South.- In all sections
where there been/heavy rainfall
and high temperatures in Octo^beij
and Nofyetyib&r, [there is lty&ly to
t)Q I a decided scarcity of ma'uied
sefeid, undamaged by conditions.
This is especially-tiiie of cotton
sqpd in many sectlbns, and also
of corn, 4*ice and probably ether
crops.
Fanners, county agents, and others
are urged, therefore, to save all
sound, matured seed of good varieties
and tqphold on to the supply so
that there will be no great shortage
in the spring. Farmers who have a
surplus of good seed should hang on
to it and keep it in good shape for
the sake of being able to help supply
others who are likely to be short,
