GET INTO THE BOOSTING BUSI.
NESS

Do you know there's lots OF people
Sitting round most every town,
Growing like broody chicken,
Knocking everygood thing down.
Don't be that kind of cattle,
Cause they amt no use on earth,
But just be a Booster rooster.
Grow and boost for all you're worth
If your town needs boostin'-boosi
her.
Don't hold back and wait TO see
If some other fellows willin'
Sail right in, this country's free.
No ones got a mortgage on ii,
It's just yours as much as his;
If your town is shy Of boosters,
You get in the bOostin' biz.
If things don't seem TO suit you
An the world seems kinder wrong,
What's the matter with a boostin'
Just to help the thing along?
Cause if things should stop again,
We'd be in a sorry plight,
You just keep the horn blowingl
Boost her up with all might.
II you see some fellow tryin'
For TO make some project go,
An you can boost it up a trihe,
That's the cue to let him know
That you're not going TO knock II,
Just because it amt your shout
But that you're going TO boost a little
Cause he's got the best thing out.

OF AN
 THRACITE IN 1915

The production of anthracite in 1915, as shown by the final figures compiled by C. E. Lesher, of the United States Geoiogical Survey, from returns made by the operators, was 79,459,S76 gross tons, differing from the estimate of 79,100,000 tons published last January by less than one-half of 1 per cent. The value of this output was S4,653,498, an av- craze of $2.32 per ton, value slight ly higher than the average in 1914. Compared with the figures for 1914 those for 1915 show a decrease of ? per cent in quantity and 1.9 per cent in value.
 Anthracite is used mainly as q domestic fuel, and the mild weather during the early months of 1915 re- suited in a decrease in consumption. A falling off in the exports to CanadG which normally takes a large quan- tity, and light buying by household CTS and retail yards in this country during the summer period of low prices, were also factors contributing to this decrease.
 There were 176,552 men employed in the anthracite mines in 1915, a greater number than in any year except 1914, when there were 179,679. The average number of days these men worked was 230, as compared with 245 in 1914, and the number of tons produced per man per year was 45O, and per man per day 1.96, as against 451 tons per year and 1.S4 tons per day in 1914. The smaller number of. days worked, together with the comparatively large num- Der of men employed, indicate that the work during the slack months was divided.

MORE TROOPS MAY BE
 SEN! ACROSS BORDER
Work is Proceeding Along the Principle Enough Men Be Sent Into Mexico to Deal With Any Eventuality.

Washington, April 12.-Further increase of the forces in Mexico is again imminent. It was learned here tonight that on the return of Secre- tary Baker from Cleveland there might be important developments. It was stated that Pershing's future movements could include adequate preparations for any eventuality.
 Strengthening of the lines of com munication have proceeded with that end in view.
 Late today confidential advices were received from Funston, under stood to refer to the question of the line. Despite increased use of the Mexican railways In shipping sup plies reported today, there was no suggestion in any official quarter that the strength of the motor service would be the least decreased.
 Concern of army officials regard ing the movement of Carranza troops toward Casas Grandes was reflected to some extent in official quarters here tonight.
 It was officially stated that Gen eral Funston had authority for any movement of troops on the border to safeguard the troops in Mexico. General Scott denied that orders to increase troops in Mexico had been issued but declared Funston had carte blanche to move any forces in the southern district.
 Persistent reports that the use of the national guard was contemplated drew a response from high authority that the president was not consider ing such a step.

COTTON DECLINES
 5 TO il POINTS OFF
Liverpool Straddle Selling Was Chiefly Responsible for Lower QuOtatiOns-Trade Interests Buyers of May.

New York, April 12.-Slight rallies followed an early decline in today's cotton market, but prices eased again in the late trading, July closing at 11.97c, after having sold at 12.06c at the opening. The general list closed barely steady, at a net decline of to II points.
 Cables were considerably better than due, but the market here opened at unchanged prices to decline of points and sold off to a net loss of 7 to points during the early trading. Scattering liquidation on near months and Liverpool straddle selling in the later deliveries seemed to be chiefly responsible for the decline. Trade interests were ready buyers of May at from 16 to IS points under July, however, while some of the near months sellers seemed to be rebuying in the distant positions.
 This helped to steady prices and the active months worked back to within 3 or 1 points of last nights closing figures during the early after noon.
 The weekly weather report read about as expected, but evidently failed to create any fresh buying of conse- quence, and the market eased off later, under liquidation. This decline carried July and later deliveries to new low ground for the day, with October selling at 12.11c and Decem- Der at 12.2Sc, or about to 10 points net lower, while May was relatively steady, working only points under last nights closing figures. Last prices were at practically the low point of the afternoon. Private ca bles attributed the steadiness at Liv- erpool to continued absence of hedge selling, but Manchester said yarns were pressed for sale.
 Cotton closed steady.

Jones first came to the notice
of the Bates county officers when
he was arrested about two years
ago at Hume, Mo-, by constable
Sam Queen charged with stealing
an automobile. Queen started to
Butler with Jones and while on
the train in the Rich Hill yards
pal of Jones named John Shead
entered the car and opened fire
on Queen, wounding him so bad
ly that he died the next day.
Jones and Shead escaped in the
darkness and confusion following
the shooting.
Shead was afterwards captured
and in March, 1914, was sentenced
to the penitentiary for life for
the killing of Queen.
While Shead was in Jail the Of
ficers received a tip from Kansas
City that Jones had threatened
to blow up the Jail with dynamite
if necessary to liberate Shead.
Extra guards were put on and
careful watch kept. Jones was
arrested in Kansas City disguised
as woman and brought to But
Ter and placed in Jail where he re
manned until November IA, when
he escaped together with pris-
oner named Geo. johnson. The
next day the body of johnson was
found in Miami river south of
this city. His skull had been
fractured and it was supposed
that he had been struck by a
train.
Sheriff johnson is to be con-
graduated on landing Jones in
Jail. No only is he desperate
resourceful man, but he had be-
hind him in California men Of po-
litical influence and money, which
made a powerful combination
which the sheriff had to overcome
before Jones could be taken from
the state.

DALE JONES BACK
Sheriff johnson Returns from
California with Noted
Criminal.

Sheriff Johnson returned Tues
day morning from Los Angeles,
CAL, with Dale Jones who escaped
from the Bates county Jail in No
vember, 1914.
About four weeks ago a Kansas
City police official identified a
photograph of man arrested in
Los Angeles under the name of
Forbes as Jones. Sheriff johnson
was notified and, armed with
a requisition from the governor
of Missouri left at once for Cali
fornia. He was accompanied by
Special Agent Boult of the Mis-
souri, Pacific secret service.
On arriving in California the
Officers positively identified
Forbes as Jones although the
prisoner strenuously declared that
he was not Jones and that he had
never been in Missouri.
In the meantime some promi-
nent politicians Of southern Cali
fornia had become interested in
Jones. One Of these was a man
named Berger, state chairman of
the prohibition party of Califor-
mia, who professed to believe that
he could make a man of Jones
If he were paroled.
After unwinding yards and
yards of red tape Sheriff johnson
finally got possession of Jones
and as Berger had threatened
habeas corpus proceedings he Sc
cured the help of a Los Angeles
detective and Jones was placed in
an automobile and taken to
nearby town and placed aboard
the train where the party took
stateroom and remained locked
in until they were outside the
state of California.
Jones was not thoroughly
searched until they reached Kan
sas City where he was taken to
