Howie Mine Damaged by Elk.
plosion and Fire

Monroe Enquirer.
The building over the main
shaft at the Howie mine, eighi
miles west Of Monroe, snd 1fie
timbers sixty feet down the shaft
were destroyed by fire about
two O'Clock last Friday after
noon. 1t is not known how the
fire originated. No one was in
the shaft at the time of the fire
the last man having left the
shaft about twenty minutes be-
fore the fire started. Two boxes
of dynamite in the building
were exploded and a number Of
windows in buildings near the
mine were shattered and the ex-
plosion was heard for miles
around. Two pumps. one OF
them costing 5000 and the other
$500 are in the bottom of the
mine and the burning of the
large timbers caused the top OF
the shaft to cave in leaving a
hole forty feet in diameter at The
top of the shaft. 1t will require a
great deal of work and an out
lay of about $4,000 to make
good the damage.

End Of War Not IN Sight

London Globe.
Both wicked and harmful are
the statements hysterically circu,
lated and ignorantly spoken to
the effect that Germany will
have to surrender soon. There
never was a more foolish esti
mate of the position of affairs
1t shows gross ignorance of Ger
many's strength, resources and
determination, and no realiza
ton of the fact that the only
peace conditions that can be i'm.
posed on her are such as none
but a beaten and humbled enc.
my could accept. Not the Hin,
denburg, not the Roumanian
sensation justify the ridiculous
outcry that Germany is tonering.
The least harm such state
ments do is to cause the sub
merged and almost negligible
pacifists here to raise their heads
a little. But they are harmful to
us in the war. They may be in
terpreted wrongly abroad. There
are long, long months of ardu-
GUS war to face before Germany
will accept the terms that must
be enforced.

The Work-Horse

BY Daniel Bradley Roche
Flooding along in the burning
heat,
Hauling his load, through the
city's street,
Working from sunrise, to close
of day,
With merely a bite to eat as paw.
Plenty of harsh words greet his
ear,
Few of the kind ones come to
cheer,
Curses and lash when things 90
wrong,
Loads are heavy, and days are
long.
Up with the birds, at dawns first
light,
Back when the stars shine forth
al night,
Tired and sore and hungry, too,
A little kindness ask for YOU.

A Trying Climate

They had a so-called "stam-
pede" in New York during a
summer hot spell, and from all
over the West the champion
riders, ropers and busters came
to take part. After the show
had petered out, and the winners
had failed to get the bulk of
their prize money, one of the re-
cent contestants, a long, lean
youth from Arizona. called at the
office of the Evening World to
give an inside version of the
causes leading up to the collapse
of the enterprise.
Presently Martin Green, to
whom the cowpdhcher was tell

Objects to Going to the Devil
By Automobile.
Charity and Children.
This writer is not opposed to
automobiles. In fact the only
reason he isn't sailing over the
country in a Ford IS that his
creditors consume all his surplus
cash. But the abuse of the auto
mobile is peril that threatens
to do us a great injury in many
ways. A man was telling us the
other day about an enthusiastic
church worker who bought a
machine. Gradually his inter
est in the Sunday school and
church work weakened until fl
nally he quit going altogether,
and sent his pastor word to drop
his name from the church roll;
that he had found new source
OF pleasure, and meant to pur-
sue it and let the. church 20.
The natural result followed, He
began to drink beer and do 9TH
er things that go along with it
and is on the way to the devil at
80 miles an hour. 1t IS true that
this man never had enough re-
Iliglon to hurt him and less char
acter than religion, but while
this is an extreme case, it Illus
I'trates the effect of Sunday Joy
riding on anybody, who INDUCES

members more than one time
deliberately load their families
on an automobile and start out

No more sermons for them! No

those who are crazy about auto
mobiles have no more reverence
for Sunday than for Tuesday.
The truth is, we have gone mad
over this matter of amusement,
and a multitude of our people
have surrendered absolutely to
its strange and subtle power!
Good roads are a great blessing,
but it is better to jolt over rocks
and plunge into gulleys in a one
horse wagon than to glide to the
devil over road as smooth as a

Zeb Green Says Cotton Is Going
Still Higher

Still Higher
Mr.. ]. Z. Green, of Marshville,
in his letter to the Progressive
Farmer last week said:
Under date of September IL a
cotton market report by Chas.
Falrchild & Co., of New York,
contains this paragraph:
Exports so far this season are
double those of last year. Amer
ican mills are very largely un-
covered with the actual, while
sold ahead for months Of rs. cent
cotton"
l am glad Brother Poe gave
the deserved denunciation of
the stupendous falsehood sent
out from New Orleans to the
daily papers. The report that
Farmers Union presidents had
adopted II cents as a minimum
price for their cotton after the
market price had already reach.
ed fifteen cents, was published
not onlv in the daily papers but
was copied by many weekly pa
pers. For the life of me l
couldn't understand how any
publisher could believe such a
ridiculous and unbelievable
piece of news. Nobody but a
crazy man would, as representa-
tive of cotton producers, declare
for price three cents a pound
less than the current price of
cotton.
When farmers are robbed bv
this sort of publicity there ought
TO be some way to recover DAM
ages. If such an outrage were
perpetrated against the business
of an individual. or corporation.
those responsible for the dam
age would no doubt be held to
account in the courts.
/ have never seen a boider at
tempt by bear speculation to
beat down the price of cotton.
Certainly their fight to depress
the price must be hopeless when
they resort to such high.handed
and infamous methods to gain
even a temporary advantage.
If goods are now selling on a
basis of Is cent cotton it isn't
unreasonable to expect the price
to go to 20 cents. In fact, near
ly everybody has been talking
20 cent cotton for month or
more. l hear this kind of talk
from commercial men, from
bankers and from merchants as
we'll as farmers.
DOnt ruSh cotton to market.
Never in the history of cotton
growing will there be a better
chance for somebody to corner
the cotton market before we
can possibly produce any more
cotton and when the market is
cornered something is going to
happen 10 the prices of cotton.
The only way for producers to
share in the increase in prices is
to sit steady and refuse to be
stampededb by any kind of news"
item that may find its way into
the press dispatches.

we are still unable to make a
final report until our body Can
