WHEN THE WEATHER Twas CoLD.-An
American and Scotsman were discus

north of Scotland.
"Why, it's nothing at all compared to
the cold we have in the States, "said the
American. 81 can recollect one winter
when a sheep, jumping from a hillock
into field, became suddenly frozen on
the way and stuckIin. the air like mass
of ice"
"But, man." exclaimed the Scotsman,
"the law of gravity wouldn't allow that. u

DIR. j. c. Kaibfus, who looks after the
game of the State with an eagle eye and
carries laws and reasons therefor at the
ends of his fingers, was speaking the
other day about the deer in the State
and remarked upon the statute prohibit
ing the killing OF female deer. "The
idea in framing that law was not to
propagate deer so much as to protect
human life" said he. "You can readily
understand how many men were apt to
be deceived when they saw a moving
object in the woods. If it did not have
horns and was about the height of deer
they took it for game and fired. Now
they can only shoot deer with horns, and
does and fawns are protected. So are
the people,"

The following is a copy of recent
order sent out by the postmaster general !:
Postmasters are hereby directed to con-
fer with their local school authorities
with the view of adopting the most ef-
fective method of instructing school chill
dren as to the organization and opera
ton of the postal service. These instruc-
tions should cover such features of the
service as the delivery of the mails, the
classification of mail matter, and registry
and money order system, and particu
larly the proper addressing of letters and
the importance OF placing return cards
on envelopes. Postmasters should ar
range if possible to deliver personal talks
to the pupils on these subjects and should
give teachers access to the postal guide
and postal laws and regulations and rem
der every assistance in securing neces-
sary information.

The Scranton Truth, felicitating an
thracite coal users on the statement of
the United States Geological Survey
that sufficient of that fuel remains un-
mined to last for two hundred years,
and congratulating the coal region that
their chief industry will at least mot be
snuffed out in a generation" a less
optimistic contemporary urges that
false sense of security should not be en-
couraged on account of this statement.
Total exhaustion is not to be feared by
the anthracite regions, but rather the
constantly increasing cost of coal, because
OF the mining of deeper coal and thinner
veins. When anthracite costs 500 ton,
it will be luxury obtainable only by
the few. Production will fall off badly
and the number of men employed in its
mining be reduced considerably. The
anthracite regions depend upon the
miners wages for prosperity. As the
sum total of these decrease, so will the
prosperity of the anthracite regions, I'M
less other industries are created in the
meantime. While this will hardly occur
IN the present generation it is emphati-
cally the duty of the present generation
to see that future ones do not suffer be-
cause OF its neglect. Now is the time to
begin to build great industrial center
in the anthracite regions.
The means, the power and the re-
sources are now available, but condi-
tions may be greatly changed fifty years
hence, when, because of the high price
of coal, substitutes for it may have been
found, and its production reduced ac-
cordiBgly.

Matters of General Interest.
A Different Form of Ballot Needed
:-Tostinssters and SchooIs-
Why Deer Hunters Must Kill
Bucks OnIy-The Future
of Anthracltc.

A demand for another change i'm the
form OF the ballot in Pennsylvania is be-
coming strong. 1t is claimed that prob
ably 10000 voters in Allegheny county,
at the last election, placed an '"X' in
the square at the top Of the column con-
tanning the names of the Presidential
electors, and believed that they were
casting a vote for every candidate OF the
party of their choice. Instead they voted
only for the Presidential electors, and
candidates for all other Offices suffered.
Probably the vote of the entire State
was affected in the same way. Here in
Wayne county, where there was very
vigorous canvass made by local candi-
d..te3, Hut c"cn comparative interest was
taken in the Presidential ticket, it being
regarded as foregone conclusion that
the State would go overwhelmingly Re-
publican anyway. 1t is certain, there
fore, that practically every voter who
went to the polls did so with the inten-
ton of helping the local candidates on
one side or the other, and when he had
deposited his ballot imagined he had
done so. Yet what do the returns show?
Out of total vote of $685. the presi-
dental electors received 522 more votes
than the candidates for Congress; s2l
more than the Senatorial nominees 39S
more than Representatives 4l2more than
Sheriff 682 more than Commissioners
and 93l more than Auditors.

STEEL MEN
To Dine
TODAY

New York. December 1O.-At the in
yitation of f. II. Gary, chairman of
the United States Steel Corporation
a dinner will be given tonight to $50
prominent men identified with the
steel industry. The occasion will be
of a social nature, but trade condi-
tions will be discussed.
The guests invited to the dinner
include not only manufactures of
steel, but also a large number of con-
sumers of steel. A report has been
in circulation that the leading steel
interests had planned reduction in
prices to further stimulate the de-
mand for steel products. Theree was
no warrant, however, it was stated.
for the assumption that any such
result would come from the discus
sion.

to truck farming and fruit growing,
they are as well adapted to the heav-
Ter crops of cotton and corn as the
much advertised and high priced lands
of the Yazoo Delta.
A recent comparison made between
an equal number of counties of the
Delta and of the Southern portion of
the State showed a larger average
for the southern counties in the yield
per acre of cotton. Other conditions
health, climate and natural advant-
ages that this section enjoys-are
worth more than anything that can be
shown by other sections of our own
state or any other southern state.
The country in the Hattiesburg ter
ritory is new and the land can be
bought comparatively cheap now, but
this condition will not last long as
even now prospectors are all over the
country looking for farming land and
hundreds of acres have been added to
our cultivated area during this year,
evidenced by the fact that our Gotten
receipts are more than 100 per cent
greater this year than last.
While good people from all sections
of our great country are wanted, and
will be welcomed, and we assure all
who will come and will work intelli-
gently and energetically that success
will crown their efforts. yet there are
advantages in getting people from our
own Southern state who are acquaint-
ed with the crops that are grown here.
and if this move will encourage good
substantial farmers from Alabama
Georgia and the Carolinas to come
here, it will be a great uplift.
The lands in come sections of those
states, as well as In our own state,
have become exhausted by many years
of cultivation in cotton and are be-
ing laid waste on that account.
1t is among this class of people
that Mr.. Jones and his associates will
work and they have already interest
ed about seventy-fve men in different

BILLY DELANEY IS
DREAMING AGAIN
Jim Jefferies Wants to Match BATTLING
Nelson and Freddie Welsh in a
Forty-Round Go For the Liqht.
Weight Championship.
By Knox Bloxoff.

New York, December 1O.-News
comes from London, where Jimmy
Britt is cutting a wide swathe, that he
will mix up with Johnny Summers, a
British near-fghter, next Monday.
The National Sporting Club of London
will pull off the bout, which is sched-
uled for twenty rounds. Britt is not
the man he once was, but he will
probably get away with the major por-
ton of the $4,000 purse offered by the
Henglish Club. The experience in
England of Almost-a-Champion Burns,
has pointed out a way to get easy
money that will probaly be taken
advantage of by many Americans who
are nearing the down-and-out stage.
Joe Cans should get wise and buy a
ticket for Liverpool while his funds
hold out.
Billy Delaney is dreaming again,
and has spent some real foney in
cabling to Australia a challenge to
meet the winner of the Burns-John-
son fracas. Delaney offers to fight on
a winner-take-all basis, and put up
five thousand real simoleons as a side
bet. This in case Burns wins. which
is wise provision. Up against
Burns, Delaney might have a chance
to cop the coin.
Jim Jefferies is trying to match
Battling Nelson and Freddie Welsh in
forty-five round go for the light
weight belt. Nelson looks upon the
proposition with some favor. but has
filed 1t away in the not vet but
soon" pigeon hole of his desk. Here's
what Bats private secretary wired to
jim:
Thanks for offer. Busy writing
book, building twenty houses etc.
Time taken to latter part of January.
Welsh more eligible than Mcfarland.
Consider Mcfarland later"
1t will be observed from the wording
of this electric epistle-twenty-fi
words. $3.50, paid-that Bat has be-
come literary gent and is also wise
ly investing in real estate. Nelson
may be nutty as some of his enemies
allege, but he shows good sense in not
depending on the literachoor game for
livelihood Signing rent receipts
for inhabitants of a few dozen six
room flats with all modern improve
ments, in return for punches of the
needful, is about the best literary
game going. and there are a lot of

like to change occupations with

He shot a singer down in the direc-
ton of DR.. Pepper Andrews which
the bulky physician snatched ere it
could strike the earth and Jays heavy
right foot touched third before Pet
ty'' could get back, a neat double I'M
assisted. And then again in the sew
enth inning another crisis was safely
passed. Casey knocked one at Hag-
erman which Rip fielded or didn't
field in his usual form. Haas's sec
ond sacrifice put Casey on second.
Walter Boles attempted to catch him
mapping, but the wind caused the
throw to break outside of E. Olson's
reach and Casey reached third with
only one down. Hagerman famed
both Johnson and Trainer and the
danger was averted. Setley called a
third strike on both johnson and
Trainer and Mr.. Barber. the new
manager of the Hutchinson team dis
puted the decisions quite vigorously.
For his part in this matter, when
Mr.. Barber attempted to tell Mr.. Setley
how to run a game and then told what
he was going to do to Shively, the
Packer drew a fine and was ushered
out of the park.
Now for the story of how it all hap
pened. In the sixth inning Davis re-
ceived a life on Stoffer's error. Abbott
sacrificed him to second and the red
one tailed when Boles doubled to left
field. E. Olson singled to center and
Boles was out at the plate on pretty
throw by Pettigrew.
Again in the eighth the locals en-
acted a little mischief at the expense
of Messrs. Wright, Trainer ct al In
which two runs were sent across the
rubber Wooley led off with a single
and Davis followed. Abbott pulled OF
another sacrifice and was safe when
Trainer dropped the throw, Wooley
scoring on the play. Then our old Dr.
Pepper squeezed Red home. A bonn
bardment seemed evident but two foul
flies ended the carnage and the locals
were four points better off in the
standing.
