OsAGE MINES HAVE CLOSED
Coal Operators Declare They Cannot
Sell Product at Price Fixed
by Government.

The Usage district coal mines have
been closed and no more coal will be
mined except by the cooperative com.
panies until there Is change in the
price allowed for coal or until the gov.
ernment takes over the operation Of
the mines. The Usage district pays
higher wages than any other mine in
the state. The operators there now
pay $1.71 a ton for mining, while in
Southeastern Kansas the rate is nine
ty-one cents ton. This is on account
OF the thin vein and shale in the dis
trict
Orders from Topeka dealers for
Usage and Burlingame coal were re-
fused by the operators. Local dealers
who gave orders for Usage coal some
time ago were notified that the cars
already loaded would be shipped, but
that other cars would not be furnish
ed. The cooperative mines assert
they cannot get out the coal at $3.50
a ton and the privately owned plants
say the government price is too low
for the Usage district on account Of
the high wages paid miners there.
Governor Capper will present the
problem of the Usage district to Harry
A. Garfield, the fuel administrator,
and it may be that a higher price will
be fixed for the Usage district. The
cooperative companies will continue
to mine coal for local use, but they do
not expect to get out any consider
able quantity for sale outside the dis
trict
The miners employed by the CO.
operative mines are on strike They
want an increase Of fifty cents a ton,
which would make the labor cost of
digging the coal alone 1921 ton. An
effort to settle the strike by mediation
Of the governor failed.
The Usage district is only thirty
miles from Topeka and thousands of
tons of Usage coal are burned there
yearly.

Americanism.

That in us which more distinctly
than anything, else we can call Ameri-
canism-our faith in humanity, our
love of equality. One cannot claim
that Americans of English origin are
alone the repositories of this belief,
this passion. :. The ideal Amer
lea, which is the only real America,
Is not in the keeping of any one race;
her destinies are too large for that
custom; the English race is only one
of many races with which her future
rests.-William Dean Howells.

As TO Proper Behavior.

streets and sidewalks are public
property. Citizens have the right to
walk on them, whether they wear
skirts, pantaloons or bathing suits, as
long as their behavior is proper. There
is no ordinance specifying the amount
Of clothing a person shall wear In
the street." is the wisdom quoted from
the lips of Judge Howard Hayes when
passing upon the arrest Of a young
woman who promenaded in her bath
ing suit. We agree with the Judge.
The question is one of behavior. But
1t is fair to ask whether promenading
the streets without any clothing would
be proper behavior.-Chicago Post.

NOT ONE STACKER

Woman in Revolution.
Margaret corblR Took Her Husband'0
Place at the Guns In Battle Of
Fert Washington and Fell
Wounded.

Margaret Corbin, who was born In
Franklin county, Pennsylvania, No
vember IL, 1751. was the only daugh-
ter of Robert Cochran, who was killed
by the Indians in 1856. Margaret's
mother, for whom the daughter was
named, was taken into captivity at the
same time. Margaret was now five
years old and escaped her parents
fate because she and her brother
were visiting an uncle, who raised
Margaret.
In 1772 Margaret married John Cor
bin Of Virginia. Corbin enlisted in
the First company, Pennsylvania ar
tllery, and his wife, having no chill
dren, followed her husband to war,
serving as q nurse and aid in camp
life.
When John Corbin was killed at the
battle of Fort Washington, November
16, 1776, Margaret took his place at
the gun, until struck down with three
grapeshot, which severed an arm ana
tore away part of her breast.

Some Queer Moneys.

Iron money has been put into circu-
lation recently in Germany. In Mex
leo cardboard money is in use, owing
to the disappearance Of metal cur
rency due to the unsettled state of the
country.
Porcelain money is used in Burma
and Siam, and feather money, manu-
factured from the short red feathers
from beneath the wings Of a species
Of parrot, is the ordinary currency Of
the Santa Cruz islanders. The 10y
atty islands, which lie in the Pactlc
to the east Of Australia, are famous
for their fur money. The fur, which
is taken from behind the ears of the
so-called flying fox" in reality
large, fruit-eating bat, is woven into
cords Of various lengths, and these
constitute the ordinary currency Of the
islanders.

TO BOOST DAIRYING
One Hundred HOIstein Heifers
Added 10 the LeavenWOrth
County Herds.
ANIMALS WERE SOLD BY LOT
Two Thousand Persons Attend "Get
Acquainted" PicnIc-Banker Is
Assisting the Farmers.

One hundred 2-year-old Holstein heif.
ers, sold by lot to farmers in Leaven-
Sorth county, Kansas, were the CEN
rral figures in the get acquainted
picnic at Leavenworth.
But they were by no means the only
feature. Two thousand members Of
the County Farm Bureau Association,
Federated Canning Clubs Of Leaven-
worth county, Leavenworth CONNER
cial Club, and farmers, their wives
and children, made up the crowd. Ad-
dresses ON farm topics, dairy and poul-
try exhibits and horse races between
local entries provided the afternoons
entertainment which followed the bas-
ket dinner in Leavenworth's Associa-
tion Park.
Although the picnic was first
planned as an outing for members Of
the county canning clubs-which have
increased in number from three to six
teen in a year-the meeting became
broader in scope when the farm bu-
reau and the Commercial Club were
given permission to take part. Then
the plan for the distribution Of dairy
cattle at this time was made.
Of course there was one man behind
the idea. The story Of this unusual
dairy beginning in Leavenworth coun-
ty is the story of plans fostered for
several months by Otto H. Wulfekuh-
Ter, president Of the Wulfekuhler
State Bank of Leavenworth-a man
known throughout Kansas as the ia
ther" of the Kansas Farmer Dairy
Club, which has grown from a small
beginning made by Mr. Wulfekuhler in
Leavenworth county in May, 1916, to
a statewide organization.
Last May Mr.. Wulfekuhler deter
mined to aid in developing the dairy
business in Leavenworth county.
Later he bought one hundred Hol-
stems in Dickinson county at cost
of more than $11,000 These heifers,
graded and distributed to farmers the
other day, were sold at cost, the best
stock going at little less than SIPS
a head. All the heifers will be fresh
within the next three months.
Notes at per cent interest, pay
able in eight months, were taken from
the buyers. Only one condition Of sale
was made-the cow and calf must be
taken to Leavenworth next spring to
q public auction at which the stock
will be sold.

KANSAS PASTURES PAY BIG
Chase County Stockmen Are Having
the Most Prosperous Year in
Their History.

Chase county stockmen are expert
encing their most prosperous year in
the cattle business. With all pastures
in the Flint Hill grazing district as
green and as abundantly supplied
with grass as in the early spring
time, cattle have continued to put on
heavy gains without interruption since
they were turned on grazing the first
of May. So abundant is the grass
now that hundreds of cattle which
have been fattened and shipped to
market, where they have brought the
highest prices ever before recorded at
this time of the season, have been re-
placed with other cattle which have
been put on grazing in the same pas
lures and thus the live stock men will
be enabled to handle double their
usual output
There will be no less than twelve
hundred carloads of fat cattle, or
twenty-seven thousand head, shipped
out of Bazaar this season. Other
points in this county will ship several
carloads.
Some shipments of cattle have net
ted their owners $25 to $40 a head.
Scores of shippers have cleaned up
profits which a few years ago would
have seemed to them impossible.

Deny Typhoid Plot Story.-Rumors
that German agents have been spread
