To Develop Vast Coal Field,

Not only is Longyear City the most
northerly mining town, but it bids fair
to become n place of Importance. now
that Norwegian company has taken
over the vast coal fields of Spitzbergeu
The enterprise is on n very large scale.
The coal fields which the Norwegian
company Will develop cover an urea
of over 656 square miles. OF which one
seventh has been surveyed, and 1t Is
estimated that this alone will yield
something like 1O0.0O0,O00 tons Of coal
from the first stratum, and the second
stratum will probably yield as much
more. There are other coal veins Of
which little is yet known. The en-.
terprise Is regarded as n nationai one,
and eventually thousands of miners
will be employed.

Briahtens Carpets,

A suggestion for making carpet
look like new and bringing out all the
bright colors again, at cost of 10
cents, follows: Shave one bar of
white soap in dish and dissolve with
gallon of hot water; to this add 10
cents worth of salts of tartar. This
forms n soft paste. When cold put n
handful Of paste on carpet and with
scrub brush scrub this well into the
carpet; then with duh knife scrape
the paste from the carpet and then
wiring cloth out of clear water and
go over the place just cleaned. In
this manner go over the surface of the
entire carpet, and you win be sur
prised ut the result.

MAKING Good Advice Better.

Giving advice that will be welcomed
by others is not only question Of
good sense, but of sympathy. Good
advice always seems better. when 1t
comes from heart that is frankly
interested not SO much in having Its
counsel accepted as in having Its low
ing sympathy known. 1t would often
be wise to refrain from giving coun-
sci IL we cannot give ourselves in SYM
pathetic thOroughness and love to one
who probably needs us more than he
needs our judgment. Love is not an
noyed II advice is not taken, and ad-
vice offered in loving understanding
Of another Is welcomed as NO Other
kind can be.-Exchnnge.

Too Familiar,

Soon after four-year-old John had
been put to bed the rumbling Of the
first thunderstorm Of the season was
heard In the distance, says the New
York Post. He called his mother In
great excitement. "Muvver! Muvver!
Come here. What is that noise?"
"That is thunder, dear. We are 60
ing to have storm. Just go to sleep
and pay no attention to It,"
"Who makes the thunder"
"GOd makes the thunder when he
sends the nice, cool rain. Now go to
sleep, dear, and don't call again."
An hour later, when the storm had
passed, Johns mother went to see that
he was covered up, and found him
across the foot of the bed, as securely
rolled in blankets us mummy in its
wrapplngs. In the process of unwind
ing he awoke.
"Why did you wrap yourself up like
that?" he was asked.
"God made his lightning wink at me
an was scared" said John.

WARNING TO FARMERS

Gaze that in their anxiety to grow
high-l iced, ccrcentrased crops for
human food, farmers in Colorado are
neglec,ing forage crops for domestic
animals. Thousands of acres of prai-
rie lands are being plcwed up for
grain crops sill fur her reducing the
available pastrreage. This state is
carrying over from last season .prac-
tica1ly no reserves of hay and forage.
Never in cur history have we been
SO short Of feed crops and forage for
live stock. Meat Is just as import
amt as bread as a human food and
this year forage and hay will be al-
most, If not quite, as profitable as
the grain and root crops. Hay and
forage mean meat, milk. butter and
cheese. Without these crols these
important food products are impossi-
BILE.
AT least fcrty per cent Of the
cultivated area of each farm should
be put in forage crops. 1t is not yet
too late to put in came, alfalfa, white
Australian corn and other forage
crops, and fail rye for pastures will
be found of great value next fall. Ev

a Fit silo can be easily and cheaply
constructed. Arrange to utilize the
straw. Properly mixed with alfalfa in
the stack, layer of straw and a lay
er of alfalfa, the live stock will eat
it very readily.

food crops to meet the present emer-
gency, do not forget the live stock"

SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER
No Husband Could Expect to Realize
Such Keen Pleasure az This
Man Anticipated.

There was once a husband who
dreamed of having a closet all his
twn. He dreamed Of a place where
he could go at night and find things
just the same as they We're in the
morning. He dreamed of a place In
which he did not occupy with his
timid little two suits a remote hook,
while all the rest of the circumam-
bient space was filed with-well,
what every husband knows.
He dreamed, and he said: II will
take advantage of my wife's absence
and hire carpenter and locksmith
and fix that closet up to suit myself
and put on it an impregnable lock and
key, and then 1 shall laugh softly and
say, AT last the great day has
cOmev"
And he did it.
And when that night his wife came
home and saw the work that he had
done she said:
'Where is that key7"
And the husband, trembling-for he
was no Bluebeard-produced it forth
with. And when she saw the ample
space within she fell on his neck and
said:
my darling, the four new frocks
have bought this day, and the crepe de
chine party wrap, and the fur-lined
Mother Hubbard, and the others-your
thOughtfulness has provided for"
And the man went out in the garage
and hanged his dress suit there-as
he had been wont to do-and sighed
to himself, saying, "Good night ~

SMASHING BLOWS
AGAINST GERMANS

London, April 11.-Field Marshal
Haig's smashing blows carried him
still further forward against the Ger
mans today. Capture by British forces
of the village and heights OF Monchy
lie Freux and La Bergere was announced
in an early dispatch from him today.
Satisfactory progress is being made
elsewhere" Haig declared. THE battle
front situation is developing sener-
ally in accordance with our plans"
Monchy lie Preux lies at the south
ern extremity of Vimy ridge and the
heights of La Bergere are just ad-
jacent The smash by which these
new positions were gained puts the
British line another half mile south J.
east of Arras in the direction of Cam
brai.
Occupation of Monchy had been
forecast by the British commander
in chiefs night statement, detailing
how the forward rush of his troops
had carried them to the outskirts of
the village five miles east of ArDas.
London was prepared for a report of
sanguinary fighting in this section.
Front dispatches indicated no let
up in the constant hammering along
the whole of the 50-mile front at va
rious sections of which Haig had been
thrusting his forces forward-no
dimunition either in the artillery ham
mering. or the sIedge hammer blows
by massed infantry forces.

ByRubbing with Liniments
and OintmentS

If YOU are one of the many
thousand victims of torturinS
flicted with Rheumatism is your
mind today that you win aban-
don your efforts to rub the dis
ease away with liniments, To-
tons, ointments, and local APP
plications. Such treatment by
itself is not only futile and de-
void of results, but is waste OF
time, during which the disease
is getting a frmer hold on your
system.
Rheumatism is a stubborn
disease. 1t is not on the sur
face, therefore you must not
expect to be able to cure it with
remedies applied to the surface.
No one ever yet effected a per
manent cure in this way, so why
should you continue to suffer
while relying upon treatment
that has failed in thousands OF
cases?
The experience of others af-
flicted with Rheumatis mis- your
best guide, and by following
their advice you can not only
save yourself untold suffering,
but rid yourself of disease that
will eventually wreck your body
and leave you helpless, Almost
every victim of Rheumatism
has practically the same exper-
fence. They are SO impressed
with the pains and suffering OF
the disease, and are so anxious
to get rid of them that they
have treated the pains alone,
and overlooked their cause.
They have rubbed with lini-
ments, lotions and oiUments in
an effort to get temporary re-
lief, with no chance of doing
themselves any permanent
good.

FAvORs VOLUNTEER
PLAN FOR RAISING
THE NATIONS ARMY

Madison, Wis, April 11.-Governor
E. L. Philip of Wisconsin has wired
President Wilson that Wisconsin is
against CONSUMPTION. He also wired
wisconsin's two senators, LaFollette
and Tasting, to oppose any legislation
to this effect. Philips wire to La
Toilette is the first correspondence be-
tween Wisconsin's two political leaders
in many years.
Philips message to the president
follows:
ITO the President, Washington, d.
c.: It is reported by the press that
the general staff is urging upon you
to recommend the plan Of raising an
army by CONSUMPTION.
II believe such a plan to be unnec-
essary and unwise for the present. The
state of Wisconsin can recruit its full
war strength quota of guardsmen
promptly and any additional force that
present plans may require without de-
lay and without compulsory act. Our
young men prefer to volunteer their
services to their country and will not
hesitate to respond to our present
emergency. Public sentiment Is not
prepared to accept compulsory military
service unless 1t can be shown to be a
military necessity. The volunteer sys-
tenn will leave a good feeling at home.
while CONSUMPTION at this time would,
in my judgment. have q tendency to
make the war unpopular.

Governor of Wisconsin"
