N. Crane of this city will launch a
newspaper enterprise about September

Mouse River Homeseeker will present

that the existence of such a publica-

hopes that its destiny will lie in the
direction of its pre-ordained mission

enterprise will be to keep pace with
the varying and recurring oppor-
tunities in this section of the state by
an intelligent effort to show the
stranger, looking for better conditions
than he now enjoys, where specific
opportunity peculiarly exists for him

Did You Ever Watch the Foolish Ways

Ever watched a man as he takes a
chair? He'll move it-every time
even If it's only an inch. He wouldn't
sit in it just where it was for the
world. Watch him next time and see
II he doesn't move it. A woman will
seat herself without touching the
chair-a woman is more philosophical,
anyhow.
Men are queer creatures. as every
one knows, comments writer in the

taste 1t first to see If it needs stirring.
Few men open their personal cor
respondence without looking at the
postmarks to see the time of posting.
Women, on the other hand, tear open
the envelope at once; they are in too

Conference at an End and No Agree
ment Reached.

matte scenes ever witnessed in a ma
tional convention Of the United Mine
workers of America was the final ad-
journment of that body last week af-
ter the dissolution of the joint con-
ference of operators and miners OF the
central and southwestern districts and
aller the national convention had ad-
ministered a stinging rebuke to Pat
rick Dolan of Pennsylvania for trans
crossing one Of the fundamental laws
of unionism, in voting contrary to his
instructions to stand for an increase
of wages.
Secretary-Treasurer W. B. Wilson is
especially determined that the funds
shall be at least $2,5OO,000 and the
other national officers and a majority
of the board members are of the opin-
ion that this sum will not be found
too large.
According to figures at the head
quarters of the workers, a general
strike April 1 would bring out of the
mines 100000 men if the nonunion
miners Of West Virginia, numbering
100000, could be induced to strike with
the union men of the other districts.
