Coal Miners Refuse to Work Because
Wage Raise Is DELAYED.


Springfield, ILL.,, Oct 16.-Because
wage increases did not become effec-
tive today, approximately 1000 coal
miners in central Illinois are idle this
morning, it was admitted at the Of
fices of the Illinois Coal Operators
association.
Expect Strike to Spread.
Peoria, Oct. 16.-Coal operators
here today expect a general strike of
miners in Illinois, Indiana, Pennsyl-
vania and West Virginia, following
the reported walkout of ten thousand
miners in the Springfield district this
morning. Dissa tisfaction over the re-
cent wage increase at the Washington
conference is given as cause for the
strike.
With a freight rate advance of Is
cents ton on coal effective today on
| Illinois railroads, operators say they
will be unable to meet any further in
crease in wages to the miners.

Indications are that the price OF
wheat, and hence. of flour, is to be
high during the next year. This will
naturally aus a planting of an in,
creased acreage Of this crop. Under
normal conditions this would not be a
promising situation under which to
advise the growing of more wheat;
but since Congress will in all probab,
1lity fix a minimum price for stand.
ard grade wheat at primary markets
of $500 per bushel it certainly seems
to be advisable this year.
In the Piedmont and mountain sec.
lions Of the State, wheat growers
should increase their acreage to some
extent at least. Those who have not
grown this crop previously in this
portion of the State might do so with
safety, and in all probability put in
a few acres to good advantage to
provide for the needs of the family

KAISER is A WILD MAN

such message to the home~is nothing
short OF fuInIl1ng a patriotic duty, =
T. Thurman, in a four-minute talk al
the Almo theatre the past week., pic
tured the Kaiser as a Wild man and
religious maniac.
"a wild man is hafd to conquer and
a religious maniac is the worst variety
| we have to deal with" he said. Con
tinuing Mr.. Thurman then stated that
the Kaiser is both a wild man and a
religious maniac, much owe having
made him mad, and that the Central
Powers are completely dominated by
him.
He is at the head of the most pow
erful ~autocracy the world has ever
seen. His word is law and there is
no appeal Those of you who know
the working fabric of the German gov
eminent, know this is true. Thu
Kaiser declared wal and then inform
ed the people. The German govern
ment was prepared for wal as no other
government has been since the crea-
ton of man. The military of that
country was on fine trigger, ready TO
shoot, and then began their march
through Belgium with no delay.
This wild man, the Kaiser, is, III
his opinion. sent of God. When he
declared war he told the people to go
into the churches and pray. He calls
upon God for His benediction. He
has had the vision of world power, and
the Central Powers are victorious
the democracy of the world will pass
away.
"Our country must develop the
American sentiment in harmony with
Americas purpose. Our nation Is o.
the people and by the people. Our pa
triOtism is not only national, but 1t
should be worldwide, because of the
purpose of America in entering +his
war has not only been to protect It's
own people but to bring to all peoples
a condition of national and interna-
tional affairs under which there mag
be peace everywhere.
"The wild man with his ~autocracy

Columbia. Sept. 18.-That Columbus
is more sinned against than SHINING Is
the claim of hotels and restaurants IL
this city. Managers almost to a mar
saw that prices have not been raised
with the coming of the soldiers as has
been claimed in other cities OF South
Carolina and adjoining States. Prices
of food in Columbia have increased
they say, but not since the cantonmeDr
came. Only one hotel has raised its
rates. the increase being from 81 to
S1.25 for a. room with bath. Some
restaurants admit that the increased
cost of foodstuffs has caused an ad-
dition of five cents in some dishes.
A statement is said to have been
made in a neighboring city that seven
persons occupied n room in a COlum-
bia hotel and paid SIS each. That
statement is branded as false by every
hotel man in the city. One hotel man
ager was called by telephone by a wO-
man in a nearby town who qualified
her request for a reservation with the
statement, MY husband and l do not
wish to paw So each as I understand
some hotels re charging" She was
assured that the charge would be the
same that it has been since the hotel
opened it's doors, 81 each.

sown broadcast alone or with other
crops like small grains and crimson
clover. In sowing with small grains
the rye, oats, or wheat seed should
first be drilled in or sown broadcast
and covered an inch deep and then
the rape seed sown broadcast and
lightly covered by means of a light
smoothing harrow or brush. Where
the rape is used alone, 4 or 5 pounds
of seed per acre will be sufficient. A
good seeding, when sown with oats,
would be III bushels of Red Rust
Proof or Appler oats with about 2 to
8 pounds of Dwarf Essex rape seed.
Rye at the rate of 2 pecks or wheat
at the rate of 4 pecks per acre may
be substituted for the oats if found
desirable to make the substitution.
Another mixture that has been found
to give good results in supplying pas
turage for hogs consists of a seeding
made UP Of 2 to 3 pecks of rye, 5 to
6 pounds of crimson clover, and 2
pounds of Dwarf Essex rape seed. This
latter mixture has proven particularly
valuable for the mountain section for
elevation less than $500 feet above
sea-level. Usually with rape alone or
seeded in the mixtures indicated above
the grazing may be started usually
within thirty to sixty days after seed
ing. Frequently during a favorable
season the rape may be lightly grazed
by pigs three to four weeks after seed.
ing.
Precautions In Grazing.
In p~asturing rape the hogs should
not be allowed ON it until the plants
are at least 10 to IL inches high, for
if pastured before this time the young
plants will be likely to be pulled up
and killed. Care should be exercised,
too, that the number Of hogs on the
pasture rs not so large as TO keep the
rape too closely grazed. for such would
prove fatal TO the plants and the life
OF the pasture would thereby be ma
teT4ally shortened. After being grazed,
the plants should be given an. oppor-
tun4ty to get well started into growth
before being grazed again. By divtd-
ing the field into lots these may be
pasturd in succession. If sown on
good land and properly handled one
acre Of rape Will provide grazing for
ten or twelve hogs for something like
two or three months or more.

Clock Diajs for Summer.

Instead Of moving the hands Of the
clock forward and back at the time of
changing from standard to summer
time, and vice versa, a plan recently
proposed in England is to have clocks
provided with an adjustable dial. The
circular disk of the dial would be put
in place by screws in curved slots, and
the dial would be rotated through one
hour space at the time of making the
change, leaving the hands untouched.
1t is claimed that this plan is especial
ly desirable in the case of striking
clocks. the hands of which cannot be
moved back. The position of the dial
would also indicate whether the clock
was keeping summer or normal time.
The objection to this procedure, Of
course, is that practically everybody
tells time from position of the hands,
without any attention to the figures on
the dial.

SHRINE OF THE "HOLY COAT"
Cathedral at Treves Contains One OF
Most jealousy Guarded Relics
Of the Roman Church.

At intervals Of many years the old
Prince BiShopric Of Treves. wakens out
of its half-Slumbering condition and
becomes the center Of great pilgrim
age. Besides its numerous Roman re-
mains, this quiet old town, claiming to
be 200 years older than Rome, is the
shrine of the holy Coat" one of the
most jealousy guarded relics in the
possession of the Roman church.
The citizens of Treves are very
proud of this seamless garment, and
they have given 1t prominent place
on their cOat-Of-arms, says the Dundee
Advertiser It was not until 1896 that
the "HOly Coat" was placed over the
high altar, but it was not exposed to
the public gaze for some three hundred
years afterward. It was kept in q Sc
cret place OF the cathedral known only
TO q few, ana there were many who
doubted its existence. A guide book
of 1914 says:
"The existence Of the relic at pres
ent is rather doubtful-at least, 1t Is
not visible. The attendants of the
church say it is walled up" All doubts
were removed in 1874, when ArChbish-
Op Arnold announced centenary
jubilee. at which it was exhibited to
million and half of pilgrims from all
parts of the world. The coat is loose
garment with wide sleeves, very sim
pie in form, of coarse material, dark
brown in color, probably as the result
of age, and entirely without seam or
decoration
