MUST GET RID
OF MINE GUARDS
Continued IRON page H.

it might be a charge of bdckshot. Car
tridges filled with buckshot are popu-
lar down here, for few Of the miners
are good shots with a rifle. You stand
a better chance of getting your man
with a load of buckshot than you do
with a rifle ball
AS the guards are afraid of the min
ers, so the miners are afraid of the
guards. Both are constantly on the
watch The miners say that but for
the presence of the militia the guards
would begin a campaign of terrorism
that would have no parallel in the his
tory of the coal regions. They do not
want the militia to leave.
The militia was sent into the coal re
gion at the solicitation of the mine
owners. They informed Governor
Glasscock that the miners were armed
and had threatened to wipe out the
mine guards. The miners did not ask
for protection, saying that they could
protect themselves The mine owners
expected that when the troops came in
they would disarm the miners, but al
low the guards to retain their arms
in other words, and to put it very
plainly, they expected that the militia
would be used as an additional force
against the miners.
But when the soldiers began their
work of disarming the miners they
found carrying guns they began dis
arming the guards as well. This was
putting shoes on the wrong foot with a
vengeance The guards protested and
claimed that the soldiers had ne right
TO take away their rlneS, mat they
themselves were officers of the law,
but the soldiers did it Just the same.
Under their orders, however, and mar
tial law not having been proclaimed,
the soldiers hold that they have no
right Of search, and do not look into
houses for guns or ammunition.

But for every gun taken away from
guard half a dozen have come in Thou
sands of rounds of ammunition, boxes
of rifles and dozens of cases of whis-
ky have been shipped to the coal com
panies on the creeks within the last
few days They are for use of the
guards. In addition concrete fortifi-
cations have been erected in command
ing positions within the last week.
These Notifications are intended for
machine guns, with which the guards
have been supplied. In fact, it appears
that every precaution is being made
for a slaughter. The companies say
these warlike preparations are for
self-defense.
However, that is straying from the
track, After haFing induced the gov
ernor to send the troops to the mines,
the operators have been very much
disappointed with their behavior and
now they want them returned. The
troops have been absolutely impartial,
and that is not what the operators
wanted, Now they are complaining of
the cost to the state of maintaining
the troops, and the effect it may
have or taxation, They say the troops
sympathize with the miners and that
as long as they are there, there can be
no adjustment of the trouble, that the
miners take their presence as an in
dorsement of their (the miners) posi-
ton. SO they are dissatisfied.
Although the operators are arming
their men and making preparations for
a siege and for bloody fight if it
comes to a showdown, they have moth
ing ON the miners. That has been indi-
Gated. There is no doubt but that sew
eral thousand rifles are hidden away
where the miners can put their hands
on them and that they have plenty of
ammunition convenient. Some of them
have gone hungry in order to get guns
and cartridges. The wife of one of
them showed me the hiding place of
her husbands gun and ammunition
and told me they represented money
that would have kept them for week.
They are without funds now.

General Booths Memorial Day.

There is a widespread feeling among
the people that such life as that of the
late General William Booth should be
kept green in the peoples memory by
the establishment of some great institu-
ton that should have for its aim a work
harmonizing with the ideals so wildly
set forth by the career of the founder
o: the Salvation Army
Gradually this sentiment is taking
shape, and if the present movement con-
tinues il will not be long before another
dream of the grand old general win be
reduced to an actually. Quite pow
erful committee has been formed for the
purpose of raising funds for the estab-
lishment of suitable training colleges,
which will be the beginning of the great
University of Humanity which the
general. toward the close Of his life,
spoke of as such a desideratum from
the educational standpoint. Whatever
can be done to make this institution a

ARIZONA GREAT COPPER STATE.
Has Produced Nearly Three and a Half
Billion Pounds of the Red Metal.

Arizona has recorded production of
3.494,333lll pounds of copper, or 2l.3s
per cent. of the total output of the
United States since mining began. In
1911 Arizona produced 1903 ,202 .532 pounds
of blister copper, as compared with 297,-
250.53S pounds in 1910. This is the
largest output in the history of the
state. according to b. S. Butler, of the
United States geological survey, and
continues Arizona in first place among
the copper producing states. She pro-
dueed 27.63 per cent. of the total out
put of the country for 1911.
The steady output OF copper from Ari-
iona began about 1875, though there
was intermittent production prior TO
that date, the earliest record of produc-
ton being for 1862. Since $50 the
growth of the industry has been steady
and rapid.
Nine copper-smelting plants operated
within the state during the year.

A Man Who Increased the Wealth of
His State by $3o,oooooo,

In the November American Magazine
appears an article about Professor 2. &.
! Holden, OF the Iowa state college Of
! agriculture, who taught the people OF his
4 state how to raise more and better corn
! the average yield of corn in Iowa has
increased 27000000 bushels annually.
The following is an extract;
"If YOU were told that one man had
increased the wealth of one state by
thirty million dollars You would be in
clined to be skeptieal, vet that was the
declaration of Governor Cummins, OF
Iowa, with reference TO the contribr-
tions of Professor P. G. Holden to the
knowledge of corn raising in that state.
Professor Holden occupies a chair in the
Iowa state college of agriculture, and
outside OF this holds unique position,
which has been aptly characterized as
that of the evangelist OF scientific agri-
culture He has done more than any
one man to popularize the work of the
Iowa agriculture college among the
farmers. He soon discovered, in his col
lege work, that the farmers were not
going to the colleges or to college men
to learn how to farm; but, on the other
hand, had very little use for the scien
tific farmer To change this condition
became the professors ambition. His
thinking on the subject evolved big
ideas, which resulted in the establish
ment Of the farmers short courses, spe
cial seed trains. the country dem
onstration work on the county poor
farm, the state corn show. and finally
the national corn exposition. These
have made it possible for him to 60 to
the farmers instead of waiting for them
to come to him.
Professor Holden is an enthusiastic
whose enthusiasm is contagious. His |
convictions are deep seated and anything |
he believes in he can make Others see I
as he does. For this reason he was able |
to 90 to presidents of railroads and con- |
vince them that it was to their interest I
to run special seed corn trains and pay /
all the expenses.
These special trains would have been /
failures ii Professor Holden had not
known how to tell what he knew He |
did most Of the speaking, until his as
sistants had learned how to talk to
farmers in their own language. Farm
ers will accept scientific facts from Pro-
fessor Holden as readily and gladly as
will take sugar coated pills.
Part of his success is due to the
fact that he exploits only one idea at
4 time. When he went out on his first
seed corn train his slogan was Test
your seed corn, saving nothing about
the preparation of the soil. fertilization,
Or cultivation, He asked the farmer TO
study his own eornfeld and he woGld
discover that about one fourth of the
talks were loafing around all summer
Icing nothing This was due to poor
termination of the seed. and the latter
equired as much cultivation and care as
he thrifty stalk The effectiveness of
his sort Of an average is 27,000000
'ushels annually in Iowa, since Profess
cd Holden began his work in that stae."
