MERCER COUNTY GOAL
ATTRACTS ATTENTION
Expert Miner Visits Beulah to
Inspect Coal and Clay
Deposits There.

Charles Westmark, an expert coal
miner, who has had charge OF the
big Ignite mines at New Salem for
several years, and who is repuued to
be one of the best authorities in the
state, was here on Tuesday afternoon
making an inspection of the Black
Diamond mine, owned by Mr.. Semm-
Ter, and the Standard Coal company
mine, of which Geo. Schmidt is man
ager, and pronounced them to be two
of the very best mines in the state
and that the coal is of very superb
or quality. He was greatly surprised
to find the coal vein so thick, and
stated that, judging from the lay OF
the land, there would be coal enough
to last for Is years if it was mined
intensely, and was Of the opinion
that Beulah was destined to become
one of the leading coal mining towns
of the state. i ~. ~. ~. .tJ... ~
Another feature of our mining in
dustry which is also worthy of men
ton, is that samples of our clay have
been sent away to; be tested by ex;
perts, as to its quality for the making
of pottery and other clay products.
Should the report be favorable Beu-
labs future will be greater than we
have ever dared to believe Eut then,
why not? Lots Of other towns have
become famous the same way. Let

NO 2MoRE !BoorJAcIks.

An Ohio editor. decided the other
day that he wanted a bootjack. He
went out to buy one, and found. to
his deep disappointment, that there
wasn't one to be found in the city.
1t was a good-sized city, too.
The incident marks the close of an
epoch in iAmericani!life. How many
MILLIONS of Americans remember the
good old family bootiack, and all that
wents withnitsifoTh bootjack meant
old-fashioned boots, hard to get on
when oil-soaked or water-hardened,
and a heap harder to get off. And
the boots meant the life of the farm,
the getting up early in the morning,
the hard and healthful work from
daylight till dark, the deep SHOWS of
winter, and-the mud.
The memories are not all poetry,
by any means, however roseate now
is the recollection of drying those
boots before roaring wood fire, af-
ter the wearer had nearly pulled off
his feet in the process of extraction.
The Chicago Tribune, refusing to
rhapsodize over the matter, asserts
that ''the bootjack is the symbol of
bad roads, faulty means of communi-
cation, community and family isola.
ton, narrowed though healthy amuse-
ments, bad food, which we now recall

'|NTRAMURAL SPORTS
URGED FOR COLLEGES
Strong Sentiment Against Inter
collegiate Sports in Big Nine
Conference.
Conference.

Chicago, Jan. 11.-Along with the
announcement that Wisconsin and
Minnesota have nearly reached the
point where they will be willing to
abandon intercollegiate athletics
comes an indication from the Univer-
sity of Chicago that there is strong
sentiment there in favor of intramur-
al, sports and against the present
state of affairs that exists in the Big
Nine.
The latest sign of the dissatisfac-
ton comes in the shape of an editor
ial in the Daily Maroon. the student
newspaper, favoring strongly the pro-
posed introduction of interclass sports
on the Midway. and declaring that in
spite of the generally over-organized
condition of college affairs, there GER
tainly is a place for the Interclass
Athletic association. g
1T will probably be to interclass
athletics" the article declares. that
the universities will look as a remedy
for the evils of intercollegiate ath-
letics."
The interclass athletic association
that the Midway editor mentions was
formed by the Undergraduate council
of the university earlier in the year
with an idea to getting more men to
participate in competitive sports.
There has been a strong movement
in the last two or three years to get
Maroon sports into the intramural
class, track, swimming, water basket
ball. wrestling. tennis and baseball
already being included in the list.
The association will try to get more
men out for these games, and eventu-:.
ally, it's originators believe, it. may
prove so successful that the old
scheme of selecting n few good men
for contests with other colleges will
be abandoned.
"rhc success or failure Of the Inter
class Athletic association may be con-
sidered as significant, the Maroon

NEW PAROLE METHOD.

A novel parole system for work
house prisoners is being tried in Day
ton, O. If prisoner behaves him
self properly when he enters the in.
stitution, he is turned over to the
municipal parole board. That body
dnds out what sort of work he can
do best, and proceeds to get him a
Job somewhere in the city. The pris-
oner then goes to work every day,
as if he were free man, except that
in the evening he returns to the
workhouse and is locked up for the
night.
When the prisoner gets his pay, he
is required to bring the envelope,
sealed, to the superintendent. 1t IS
then opened in the presence of the
mans family, and the money is ap-
portioned as the superintendent sees
fit.
The system seems to work admir-
ably in the case of men committed
for failure to support their families.
One prisoner, it is reported, has not
only provided for his family more
generously than ever before under
this compulsory plan, but has paid
his debts and saved 500, and expects
to save another hundred before his
term expires.
It's too early to pass safe judg-
ment on the experiment, but so far
the results seem unquestionably good.
The prisoner gets into regular work
ing habits, under conditions that
build up his self.respect. He takes
care of his family, while serving his
term, better than he could by any
other plan yet devised. And when
he goes free, he has job.

IMAGINARY MOTHERS PENSIONS


The New. York legislature passed a
mothers pension" law nearly year
ago. The act was greeted with sat
isfactiOn as another triumph Of the
principle that needy mothers should
have help in bringing up their chill.
dren decently, without the stigma of
charity. New York was put down in
the long list of states--now cOmpris-
ing q goodly majOrity-that have
fully accepted this principle. i,
However, it isn't apparent that any
mothers or any children have. yet
derived any benefit from the law. In
New York City a child-Welfare board
was appointed after a few months of
dignified consideration, but no, money
was provided to pay its expenses.
Seven months after the law had be-
come effective, the New York chart
ties commissioner appointed eighteen
investigators. At the end of two
months more, these officers had in
vestigated one case apiece. And
there wasn't any money to pay the
eighteen mothers Investigated, be-
cause the more or less intelligent and
we'll meaning legislature had forbid
den the expenditure of money not
specifically appropriated according to
an almost impossible system.
It's good way to discredit an ad.
mirable social reform.

Henry Ford is an interesting

he has shown q lofty idealism and a
keen sense of public duty, no matter
how mistaken his efforts may have

Nobody will accuse Mr. Ford of
not being good citizen. Detroit, in
fact, seems to regard him as its fore
most citizen, not because Of his
wealth so much as because Of his
character and his genuine services to
the community. But it is evident
that II citizens in general followed
Mr.. Ford's example as regards their
political duties, our city, state and
national government would be far
worse than it is. For it is only a
steady, continuous, intelligent inter-
est IN public affairs and habitual at
tention to public obligations that can
insure honesty and efficiency in gov

Indigestion May Be
Due to Constipation
Neglect of important finGti"n Way
Seriously impair The
Health :.


There are many people who believe
they suffer from Indigestion, Wlen
their discomfort really is due to a con-
stipated condition.
Bloat, with its attendant mental de-
preston, sick headache, the ibelchlng
of sour stomach gases, ETC., are ire
quently due to inaction OF the bowels.
Relieve the congestion and the trouble
usually disappears. The use OF ca
thartics and purgatives should be
avoided however,. these shock the
system unnecessarily and, at best,
their effect is but, temporary. A mild
laxative is far preferable.
