MINERS
STORY IS
NOT BASED
ON FACTS


velops. is not founded absolutely on
facts. The miners official organ,
The Fremont Democrat. stated that
the reason the miners attacked
Chandler was because the business
men OF Canon City had gotten togetl
er on the Friday night previous to
the battle and organized for the pur-
pose OF ousting the striking miners.
1t was further stated that this in
formation was given to the miners
by a man who attended this Canon
City meeting at the court house.
Investigation proves that there
was no such meeting. that the court
house was dark on the evening re-
ferred to and that the Canon City
business men had never thought
organizing for any purpose above
stated and on Friday night 1t is dis
covered that none OF them had the
least Inkling that trouble was brew
ing over the strike situation in the
county.
:. thorough Investigation brings
out the fact that there was no meet
ing of any kind at which the bust
ness men were present on Friday
night a week ago.
Many OF the business men
are now wondering why. II i
was their alleged actioas that
precIpitated the trouble. why Char
dler was attacked and not Canon
City. The story OF the start
ing OF the trouble as appearing In
the Fremont Democrat Is not found
ed on fact in any degree whatsoever
The statement is very unjust to the
Canin City business men who have
had no desire at any time to get
mixed up In the strike matter.
The Democrat story further said
that no property was destroyed.
Judging from the reports of thefts
OF personal property OF people who
lived in Chandler and who were
forced to leave town during tho
trouble this statement in the Demo
crat is not true. Hundreds Of dol
lars worth OF valuable property has
been reported stolen.
AS the matter OF the town being
taken under a flag OF truce on the
part Of the strikers It can only be
said that the men at the mine. and
who defended 1t until the very ]
state positively that the striking
miners came up under nag Of true
and captured the town. The strik-
ers as emphatically deny the report.
This is an immateriai point. but 1t
Is known absolutely that the soldiers
did not go into Chandler wearing
handkerchiefs on their arms or
playing a white flag. They went in
to Chandler in extended formation
expecting every minute to be fired
upon.
The mine buildings were not dyna-
mited as was reported by the people
coming to Canon City Sunday night
nor were the mine buildings proper
molested to any great extent. II
can be further said for the strikers
that they treated their thirty-three
prisoners very well and gave them
every consideration.

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE

II is now conceded by physicians
that the kidneys should have more at
tention as they control the other or.
gans to remarkable degree and do q
tremendous amount OF work in remoy-
ing the poisons and waste matter from
the system by filtering the blood.
During the winter months especial.
ly, when we live an indoor life, the
kidneys should receive some assist.
ance when needed, as we take less
exercise, drink less water and often
eat more rich heavy food, thereby
forcing the kidneys to do more work
than Nature intended. Evidence of
kidney trouble, such as lame back, an.
noying bladder troubles, smarting or
burning, brick.dust or sediment, sal
low complexion, rheumatism, may be
weak or irregular heart action, warns
YOU that your kidneys require help
Immediately to avoid more serious
trouble.
Many physicians claim that an her
bal medicine containing no minerals
or opiates has the most healing influ
ence, An IDEAL herbal compound that
has had most remarkable success ae

will come under the center of the
stump. II stumps are hollow, Of
course the charge will have to be
located under some firm part of the
stump. Some blasters throw log
chain tightly around the hollow
stumps to facilitate their removal
The amount OF dynamite to be used
depends upon several conditions: The
character of the stump; the character
Of the soil, and whether 1t Is wet or
dry; whether the stump Is green or
partly decayed, and the nature Of the
root system. Therefore It Is mani
festly impossible to give specific direc-
tions as to the amount OF dynamite to
be used. The amount OF dynamite re-
quired to blow stumps Of the same
kind In the same soil does not vary
directly with the diameter, but more
nearly with the square of the dame
ter, or, In other words, with the area
Of cross section OF the stump The
area of cross section of a stump 48
inches in diameter is 16 times as great
as the area OF cross section of q
stump IL inches In diameter How
ever. only judgment developed by ex-
perience can determine how much of
the explosive shall be used in given
case. The blowing OF green stumps
Is from two and one-half to three
times as great as for dead ones,

WINTER RATION FOR TURKEYS
Only Sufficient Eood Should Be Given
to Keep the Birds In Good
Healthy Condition.

tBy C. Il. BROWN, Poultryman. North
west Experiment Station, Crooksten.
Minn.)
During the winter season the stock
turkeys should be fed and watered
twice day. Only sufficient food
should be given to keep them in good
healthy condition. When winter is
over It is advisable to feed them a
small amount OF grain each evening
to encourage them to return to their
roosting quarters and thus prevent
them from wandering away with other
iocks, The following ration is a good
one for the turkeys: Mix equal parts
by weight of corn or barley, oats and
wheat screenings, and In addition to
this green food should be supplied
once day. For this purpose mangels,
cabbage or clover leaves are the best.
Grit and water should be supplied at
all times.

Re.Maklna Window Shades.

Ordinarily the only part Of shade
that becomes soiled and worn Is the
portion exposed to the light-that is,
the part drawn down half the length
Of the window; the other half Of the
shade is practically new. A simple
method Of doubling the life Of shade,
half of which has become soiled, is
to remove the shade from the top Of
the roller and hem the end thus re-
moved. Then remove the stick from
the hem at the bottom Of the soiled
portion of the shade and slip 1t into
the new hem, Next cut off the old
hem at the bottom of the soiled por-
tion of the shade and attach the raw
edge to the roller. The bottom or
soiled portion Of the shade now be-
comes the top, and when the shade is
drawn down half the length Of the
window a clean, new portion is ex.
posed.

boys practice and had not forgotten
them,
One day during a lesson in history
he observed one of his pupils take

He grew suspicious, thinking that the
pupil was consulting notes on the les

tween the desks and stopped in front
of the boy. LET me see your watch" !"
he commanded.
The master opened the front Of the

But he was shrewd man. He was

Then he was satisfied, for he read:

IN WINTER
MANY VARIETIES AT COMMAND
OF HOUSEWIFE.
Satisfy Might With the Entire Approx
al Of the Family Be More Com
monty used-creamed Or as
croquettes They Are Fine.

The housewife who .'hates" winter
because there is so little to cat" OF
because she feels that she Is giving
her family the same thing over and
over, should not despair. Apart from
that dear old-timer- Hubbard squash
there are three members of the cab
bage family-cabbage itself, cauli
flower and Brussels sprouts; five root
vegetables, exclusive of onions, and
white and sweet potatoes-turnips
satisfy, beets, carrots and parsnips
and two kinds of greens-spinach and
kale, available. Who could legitimate
ly complain Of lack of variety with
such choice at hand?
The possibilities of satisfy or oys
ster plant are not as well known as
they might be- 1t usually sells for
ten cents a bunch or two lunches for
15 cents and affords an inexpensive
change In the diet. Pains should be
taken to select straight roots rather
than the crooked, knotted ones which
abound.
The preliminary step to any dislt
made of satisfy is to cut off the green
tops, scrape and cut the roots into
small pieces and boil them until ten
der (about half an hour). The sim
pie addition Of a white sauce will
make creamed satisfy, but for Gro
quettes rub the tender boiled pieces
through colander or strainer and to
each bunch add beaten egg, three
tablespoonfuls of cream and enough
flour to make a stiff batter. Make
into croquettes, dip in beaten egg
then in cracker crumbs or -four and
again in the egg. Fry In hot fat and
dry on brown or other absorbent pa
per. The oyster flavor which gives
the plant It's name, comes out strong
est when the vegetable is cooked in
this manner.
For escalloped satisfy, fill but
tered baking dish with alternate lay
ers of boiled satisfy and cracker
crumbs. Pour white sauce over the
filled dish. cover the top with but
tered crumbs and bake until brown
Half lemon squeezed over the tor
of medium-sized dish will improve
the flavor.

A sion of Poverty.

They were talking about poverty a
few evenings ago, when Congressman
Gilbert N. Haugen of Iowa told of an
impression man from the rural wilds
once got on visiting the city.
The ruralite, the congressman said,
had gone to the town on long an
ticipated visit, and when he returned
he had much to relate of city ways and
what he saw.
"They put on all kinds Of fancy
frills up there" he narrated to the
eager crowd at the corner store, "but
I don't believe they hev got half the
money they pretend ter hev."
