February at a cost of $1.20 a ton.
Coal was already scarce in the
country" Willard said. land we told
the Pennsylvania people our entire
output was contracted for. That did
not stop them. They closed our mine

Since that time the Pennsylvania

REOPEN COAL MINES
Stock Company May BE Formed To
Do So ut Wilson, Kan.

Wilson, Kan, June 2S.-There is
considerable agitation here of the
proposition to reopen the Wilson coal
mines. 1t has been suggested that a
stock company be formed and that
the galleries and tunnels be reopened
and what coal is left be gotten out.
The outlook for getting coal shipped
in here is rather gloomy The dealers
are unable now to get one-tenth of
the cars for which they contracted, and
the price has seen boosted two or
three dollars per ton by the mine
owners. All letters from the mines
predict that conditions will not i'm
prove with the approach of summer
and that by next fall consumers will
not be able to get coal at any price.
It may be that It will have to be the
Wilson mines or freeze. If the mines
should be opened. operations ought to
start at once as it will be a big job

Girl LEFT HOME
Two Prominent Families In
voIved in Case of ''Pup" Love.
Father Tried To Stop Affair by
Spanking Daughter.

There was a tempest in one family
teapot that lasted from Monday morn
ing until Tuesday evening. 1t es-
capped from the teapot and involved
another family or two but the storm
has abated. In fact it is all over. The
girl came back home.
It developed over a boy and girl af-
fair. They're both children and chill
dren of excellent families Every
thing went along lovely until the boy
began to grow serious and the girl s
father noticed it. He decided it was
time to take a hand and he did in the
usual fatherly way.
He started merely to advise and
finished, it is said, by spanking his
16-year-old daughter. She thought
she was several years too old for that
sort of punishment and that night
when the family was asleep, she COL
lected some of her belongings and
quietly let herself down from the
sleeping porch, then beat it.
Papa Suspected Boy.
Next morning-that was Monday
There wasn't any question in the
household as to the reason for her
disappearance but there was a grave
question as to her whereabouts. Papa
Immediately suspected the young man
knew all about it and in that way
the boys family got into it.
The boy stolidly denied having seen
the girl He denied any knowledge of
her whereabouts. Then the girls
father suspected that while the boy
was still in town some of his boy
friends had aided the girl in getting
away. An investigation of that theory
was in progress when the girl return
ed home Tuesday evening

to get things cleared out so as to get
to the coal again. 1t is claimed by
some of the old-timers that there is
an abundance of coal left there in the
hills and what is left is the best.
The Wilson mines were worked
from the early days of the white set
tiers in this county and were aban-
doned about fifteen years ago when
people began to buy the Colorado coal
which was shipped here and sold at
only a small amount above the home
product The Wilson coal is not the
best coal in the country, but those
who used it for years have many good
things to say in its favor.

COMB SAGE TEA IN
FADED OR GRAY HAIR
II Mixed with Sulphur it Darkens so
Naturally Nobody can Tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew Of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect BY asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get a large bottle
of this old-time recipe, improved by
the addition of other ingredients, all
ready to use, for about so cents, This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair.
A wellknown downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly
| that nobody can tell it has been ap-
slied-it's SO easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it is restored to
its natural color and looks glossy, soft
/ and beautiful. This preparation is a
delightful toilet requisite. 1t is not
intended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of disease.-Adv.

The First Casualty List

A few days ago we were elated to learn that
our soldiers had progressed far enough in their
military training to take over small section Of
the French trench system.
Today are mourning the death Of the first
Americans in that gigantic struggle which is to
determine whether despotism or democracy is to
rule the world.
The tiding which mortuary list brings al
ways incites to grief. And yet, the news in this
instance ough not to plunge us into dependency.
The soldiers who met their end were fulfilling
their duty. They died at their post. Had they
broken ranks and fled in disorder before Ger
man attack, the nation might have felt both dis
graced and worried over their death.
Our leaders have been trying to prepare us
for months for the fiery trial ahead of us. War
means destruction. It entails loss of life and
property. Only few men were slain in this en-
gagement Thousands will perish before peace
terms are written.
If it is true that for each of us comes time
when we must die and that the hour is secret
we may accept with complacency and calm forti-
tude the fate that providence has in store. Worry
and mutterings will neither disclose the day of
our demise nor reveal its manner
Let us not grieve long over the heroic boys
who died on the battlefield but accept the event
as one of the trying ordeals through which we
must pass before liberty and democracy are vim
dicated
