MINERS WORK ONLY HALF TIME
That is Estimate of John p. White

That is Estimate Of John p. White,
President of Iowa District.
Des Moines, Nov. 26.-Iowa coal
miners are working only half time this
fall. This statement is made by John
p. White, of Oskaloosa, president of
the United Mine Workers of Iowa.
Several causes have had their in.
fiuence in bringing about this condi.
tion," Mr.. White said to a coal miner
in Des Moines, recently. "The situa-
ton is practically the same through
out the state. In the coal fields OF
southern Iowa and northern Missouri,
as well as those surrounding Des
Moines the mines are operating only
a part of the time. Many days the
mines are closed at noon; on many
others the men work three-fourths OF
a day; and IN some days the mines
are closed down entirely"
The unusually warm weather of the
fall has. been perhaps the most potent
cause. = Hundreds ana thousands OF
families that in most years buy two
and even three loads or coal before
November 20 have this year been abIe
to get along on only n e In ia great
many other families, among tie poor
er classes, families are doEbling up
and using one stove wheEx two and
three have been used heretofore.

"FoRTY HOURS DEvoTIoNs."
Exercises at ST. Mary's Church Prove
Unusually Successful.

The special services that have been
in progress at st. Mary's church I'M
der direction of Father McManus, be-
ginning Tuesday morning, were con-
Guided on Thanksgiving Day. The
services have been largely attended
and have resulted in great good to all
of the membership. Quite a number
of distinguished gentlemen of the
clergy came to the city during the
three days celebration to assist Faith
er McManus in the ceremonies and
the work attendant. Among them
were Father Quinn, of Abba; Father
Malvihill, of Adair; Father Hanson,
CT Dunlap; Father Smith, of Extra,
and Father Houser, Of S%igourney.
The pastor of st. Mary's church
wishes to return sincere thanks to all
who donated and loaned flowers for
the altar during the "Forty Hours
devotion, as also these who assisted at
the rectory during the occasion. The
faith and fervor manifested by the
congregation in visiting the Blessed
Sacrament and attending the various
exercises we're very edifying. Special
thanks is due to the city press for its
kind announcements relative to the
devotion. The pastor desires to ex-
press his satisfaction at the general
success of the devotions and begs that
every spiritual and temporal blessing
may be the lot Of st. Mary's parish
and its generous patrons.

dom and liberty. The hard life OF a
soldier shortened their years and q
three one by n have been laid IN
honored graves. 1t was the remain
ing Eve children in st. Louis IN Octo-
her to live owe again the happy years
that we're spent together on the old
ohio farm. The writer was back 10
the old farm a few years ago. The
building still stands on the same sa-
cred spot, put much changed. AS
unused about the place it seemed 10
me that I could hear the silver-toned
voice Of my mother as she went ABOUT
her work with a song on her lips, or
the clear ringing call in the eni
to some of her belated household. II
made me heartslck to think that the
strangers about me should feel moth
ing Of the emotions which | couid
scarcely suppress. I felt disappointed
when the shade trees on the dear OLD
school play ground did not speak. No
words could express my joy at seeing
them again after so long an absence,
battling with the hard realities OF life.
Only those who have been reared by
the sweet waters of a flowing stream
can appreciate a boys attachment TO
the river. 1t is always revealing to
him some new secret and he plays in
its waters and listens about It's green
banks for hours in perfect content
ment. I sat on the old railroad bridge
brooding over the brevity OF human
life and it's short-lived friendships. Al
most all of the boys VINO used to re-
spond to our whistle and call are not
there now. Some Of them are found
on the western prairies, but of the
larger number it may be said: Their
graves are severed far and wide, by
mountain, stream and sea-"
While these reflections were slip
ping through my mind the soft rip
ping of the waters came up from the
| river below. It's mellow murmuring
was a soothing balm to my aching
heart. I had listened to the same
SWEET sound many hours in boyhood
years. The dear old river is talking
to me, I thought. Then quickly there
| sprung to my imagination this mono
logue: my child, where have you
been all these years? Have you come
| back to he a child of the peaceful riv-
err again? Your playmates have all
| gone. I have not seen them for a
long time. You are brooding because
they are not here. All the dear chill
dren who have played in my waters
in the unmeasured years of the past
have gone away just when / loved
them most. 1t has been SO since
have served pure water to the sons
of men. But I have never wanted for
friends since man and beast have &C.
copied my service. This is my task,
and 1 shall cheerfully fill my mission
until the end of time. when | shall be
no more. You belong to a higher or.
der of creation and will meet your
loved ones on another shore. / shall
never again see the millions who have
accepted the cup of water | brought

Think you not, reader, that the les

live that when the fading scenes q
Time shall bring us to the last rivel
we can joyfully cross over in perfec

CACHE RIVER I'M
 PROVEMENT PROJECT.

A movement has been started to bring about the improvement of Cache river in Arkansas, and to this end an important meeting has been called for next Tuesday in Brinkley. It is estimated that there are half a million acres in Cache river valley which could be made available for agricultural purposes by introducing the levee protection system and the open ing of the stream to all-the-year- round navigation. Of course it will be necessary to secure a congressional appropriation, and the improvement plans contem- plate locks and dams. It is said that the next legislature will be asked to create a Cache river levee district similar to that in existence in the St. Francis dis trict. With the revenue de- rived from taxation and with a possible appropriation from con- gress there will be in a few years a realization of the desires to re- claim thousands of acres of rich lands in the Cache valley. -Hele- ma World.
