COAL OPERATORS PLEASED AT
THE GOOD SHOWING MADE
DURING PAST YEAR.
BETTER RECORD FOR 1914
Fewer Accidents in 1918 Than IN the
Past Five Years-Extra inspections
and Taking Precautionary Measures
Responsible.

Western Newspaper Union Eews ser,ice.
Charleston. w. Va.-So pleased are
the coal operators OF West Virginia at
the showing made in 1913 by the
mines OF this state, in the matter of
fatalities. that they are taking steps
to make an even better record in the
year 1914. They hope that, since 1918
brought forth the most creditable
showing in five years, this year will
be the best since 1896, which is as far
back as the records go. The good
record for 1913 was in no small meas
Of mines made in many OF the fields
at the direction OF the operators.
This extra inspection was not made
because the state inspectors were not
doing their work we'll Investigation
shows that the contrary was true.
But the operators wanted inspections
more frequently than the state inspec-
tors could make them, so that if dan
gerous conditions should arise sud
denly, needless sacrifice of life could
be prevented.
As result of this extra inspection
in many cases men have been kept
out OF the mines when conditions
were found unsatisfa Glory, until these
conditions could be remedied How
effective this extra inspection has
been is indicated by the fact that
deaths due to gas, coal dust, explo-
sions and the like were 30 per cent
less in 1913 than in 1912 The mum
Der of deaths from these causes in
the first ten months was only four.

LIKED THAT KIND OF MAN
Taclturn Pianist Formed Acqualnt. anee of Man Whom He Cor
 d!aliy Approved.

Though very fond of hearing or telling a good story, well-known pianist is rather taciturn. Once, it is reported, a Scottish friend of his, whom he liked very much, went home with him after a concert in Edinburgh. Both gentlemen sat down to coffee and cigarettes, and as midnight struck they had not yet exchanged a word. Finally the guest risked a bold and novel query.
 Do you like Beethoven?"
 The pianist emptied his cup and said, softly:
 Beethoven good"
 Half an hour later came another question::
 And how do you like Wagner"
 To which the other retorted.
 "Wagner-not good"
 Having exhausted his stock of in. quisitiveness, the Scotchman got up to bid his host adieu.
 Stay yet, my friend" said the musician; T like your conversation very much"
 And both remained in profound silence until 3 a. m. struck, when they wished one another good night and parted.

WILL THE FARMER GET
 WHAT HE ASKS FOR?

It has been said up at our great capital that the reason the farmer never has received any aid from Con- gress is because he has not been there at the proper time to ask for it. Now most of us farmers have not got the means to bridge the distance from where we live to Washington and pay the hotel bills so what we must do to get aid is to cooperate in counties and districts and send our committees to Congress to let them know what we need.
 If you can't do that write your Congressman letter and tell him your wants.
 Let every local write their con- gressman to work for the rural credit bill when it comes up. Write today for it may come up in December.
 If we expect to get what we ask for let us bind ourselves together.
 Yours truly,
 F.. Y. EDWARDS.
The Prescott daily news., 1914-12-04

has little experience this year that has about convinced him that raising cotton does not pay. In one field containing six acres he plated three acres in cotton, under which he put 400 pounds of commercial fertilizer worth $500. On this three acres he made 1900 pounds of seed cotton, or about one five hundred pound bale. On the adjoining three acres he sowed oats, used no fertilizer, and moved three heavy loads of feed. Af- ter the oats were taken off the ground he planted peas and picked, from the three acres, 25OO pounds of peas which will thrash out 25 bushels.
 A little calculation will easily show that the oat and pea crop paid best. Allowing fair price for the cotton and seed there is more profit in the pea crop. Three loads of oats ought to be worth $15.OO. Twenty five bush els of peas will bring $5O.OO any time. One bale of cotton at ten cents is worth $50.00 and the seed would sell fer about $7.50 making a total reve- nue of $57.50 for the cotton and $65. for the pea and oat crop. After de- ducting $500 from the amount re- ceived for the cotton you have $52.5O net receipts. Of course every one knows 1t took more labor to make the cotton crop than it took to make the oats and peas.

WISE RADICALS From Country Gentleman

A recent conference of Arkansas
 business men called to consider the
 cotton situation adopted a slogan to
 express the sense of the meeting:
 Arkansas will feed herself in 1915"
 The advocates of the idea congratu-
 lated themselves that they had saved
 the conference from the radicalism of
 those who proposed various schemes and artifices for the relief of the cot
 ton growers.
 As matter of fact the slogan voices a radicalism as extreme as any that might find expression in the cot
 ton country. If the idea is carried into practice it will mean a change fairly revolutionary in the life of the farmers.
 The cotton country as whole has never fed itself. Arkansas affords an Illustration. Although her soils and seasons are admirably suited to low cost production of livestock, she is inn porting from other states each year meats and packing-house products to the value of nearly $25,OO0,00O. Im- portations of canned goods, flour and similar foodstuffs amount to about |$10,000,00O year; and importations of grain and hay fed to work animals add $10,000,000 more to the states expenditures for farm products that might be produced at home at an in finitely less cost. The total of $45,- 100000 is just about equal to the states aggregate bank deposits.
 This is the vital weakness of all one- crop farming. Diversifcation is the only possible permanent relief. And diversifcation. carried at least so far as to let the farmers produce for themselves the foodstuffs that they are consuming at home, would be very wise radicalism.

FRECKLED GIRLS Washington Post.

A Washington dermatologist has just gone to great lengths to inform a waiting world that freckles on the face of outdoor girls are there to stay. Once attained, there's no losing 'em. They stick closer than a broth CT, and almost as close as somebody else's brother. "You may paint, you may powder the spot if yoT will, but the suns brunette tattoo will cling
 round it still"
 But why, in the name of all out doors, should a girl want to lose her freckles? Would you rob the rose bud of it's gem of morning dew? As well suggests to small boy that you remove the spots from his agate mar ble as to place before the mature male mind the idea that maid would be improved in looks by those defects whose very mission it is to lure and charm and bring back to remembrance the secret of his thralldom, when ev- cry recollection of hat and garment have been lost in the chaos of his thoughts.
 Let it be assumed that girl folks dress for their girl friends. Surely, otherwise, it were loves lost. But freckles are like the late Henry George-they are for men, by gum! And the man who won't stand up for them and what goes with them is no man at all.
 Others than Tennyson have shied at the faultily faultlessness of the We're de We're. What they want is an added perfection to the attractions through the seductive defect that gives them something to swing to. A perfect face is like the big diamond in the jewellers window-something for ev- eryone to look at and then pass on. But a tiptilted nose, break in flaw lessness produced by pouting lips, vagrant curl that won't stay in it's place, a freckle, or half a dozen of them, for that matter-these are as the red peach that hangs invitingly over the garden wall-a fellow just naturally goes after it, all oblivious to the broken glass of matrimony on the edges that futilely warns him off.
