SPECIAL APPEAL TO
MINE OPERATORS

That upon the mine operator as
we'll as the mine worker lies the
patriotic duty of doing everything
possible to speed up the production
of coal is the tenor of letter sent
today by James B. Neale, Director of
Production of the U. S. Fuel Admin
istration to all the coal operators of
the country.
AS the mine workers have been APP
pealed to to work full time each day
for six days week, Mr.. Neale says
to the coal operators:
"You must practice the highest de-
gree of efficiency as to mine manage
ment and must see to it that your
employees are given fair and courte-
Gus treatment AS you well know,
there are two important factors in
the production of coal. One, the op-
orator; the other the mine worker.
The latter is helpless to do his part,
no matter how willing, if you do not
provide him with the means with
which to do it. Plenty of mine cars,
good air, sufficient timber and other
materials are a few of the things
you must provide. There are many
others, and you must exercise great
care to see to it that you do not fail
in your duties.
at is true that each day through
out the country many thousands of
tons of coal are not mined, due to
absence, inefficiency and short hours
worked by the mine employees; but
it is equally true that each day many
thousands of tons of coal are not
mined due to the fact that the ope
rators have not made it possible for
the mine workers to do as much as
they are willing to and would do.
Both effective factors must be deter
mined to do better than ever before.
| hope that a wholesome, friendly
spirit of rivalry will quickly develop
between the mine management and
the mine workers so that each group
will try it's best to see that it has
not prevented marked increase in
tonnage and that, on the other hand.
it has contributed the major part of
a large increase in tonnage"

THE KAISER MET THE DEVIL
(By Wright M. Cooney)


The kaiser met the devil in an ag-
itated way, and the devil stopped his
prodding just to hear what Bill would
say. Bill approached him quite con-
tritely, for he wanted something
done; he would make his last endeav-
or to enlist him with the Hun. So he
said: "My dear good Satan, I'm in
trouble, Pm afraid; if we do not
work together, sure as hell my grave
is made. l have worried and I've
wondered, and the Huns stand in dis
may, when they hear the preparation
over in the U. S. A. l had thought
that Gott was with me, but of late
He's hard as bone; so I've come for
your assistance and we'll oust Him
from His throne. Now dear Satan,
won't you help me? We're a team
that would work well, and when
the awful war is over, We'll own
Heaven, Earth and He'll. l surely am
disgusted with the Gott up in the
skies; instead of helping me, He is
helping the allies. Just say the word
and I'll abide; you come along, but
I'll decide; and tonight at eleven I'll
call out string of Zeppelins and
we'll make a raid on Heaven"
All this while old Satan wondered,
scratched his head and then he pom
dered. When he found his equili-
brium, after Bill had gotten thru,
he address Bill Hohenzollern in these
words sincere but true: you're
dirty low-brow migrate; you're the
worst I ever knew; you are dippy,
talking flighty and to win your great
est blunder you would wreck your
God Almighty You for years have
had notion that you had regular
call, and some day you'll rule in
Heaven, but, oh, Bill, you'll get fall.
And this fall is not far distant; it is
coming sure as hell, for the Allies
have your measure and they'll fix you
good and we'll. You have stopped to
lowest level; you have broken every
rule; all the world is now against
you; you're big jackass fool.
don't like your talk of methods; l am
the Devil that is true; but you have
wrecked and butchered millions, and
I've no use for you. Look at Bel
gium, poor bleeding Belgium; look at
France and England, too; all because
YOU had a notion that the world you
could subdue. For Furnishing, I've
reputation, but I've watched you all
the while; and for downright ornery
meanness you have the Devil skinned
a mile. All the fire and the brim-
stone, all the groans and shrieks of
hell; you have equalled and sur
passed them, and you know it nigh
ty we'll Now, Kaiser Wilhelm, lis
ten; you'll not finish what you have
started; and the Hohenzollern family
and throne will soon have parted
You heard from President Wilson, he
told you what he'd do, but you thot
he was only bluffing, now you know
he's coming thru. Over there they
are training soldiers, and oh my God,
how they can fight! They'll get your
ing right. When the bugle call is
sounded, you will have no time to
pray; for they're coming on in mil
lions, and they hail from U. S. A."

No More Sweaters of Bright CoIors;
Wool Too Scarce
Exit, the vari-hued sweater.

Exit, the vari-hued sweater
The miss who now has sweater
of the bright sort, had best cling to
the garment, for it will likely be
some time ere she may exercise her
color taste. This disconcerting news
was brought to Denver by Frederick
w. STANDARD, Director of the Noun
tain Division, Bureau of Supplies,
who, with Henry Swan, Assistant Di-
vision Manager, attended various Red
Cross conferences in Washington.
Director STANDARD declared that,
because of the increasing shortage in
wool, it has become necessary to re-
strict its uses. This restriction ex-
tends to yarn which ordinarily, is
available for girls apd women's
sweaters.
Within very short time yarn will
be confined to three or four colors,
which will be approved by the gov
ernment and the Red Cross. If the
present shortage continues there will
be no wool for general civilian use
within year, according to Director
STANDARD. 1t, therefore, becomes the
Red Cross to be as careful with its
wool as possible, and make only
socks, sweaters, etc, that will stand
the most rigid inspection.
The records of the State Board of
immigration show that more than
100000 acres Of unbroken land in Col
orado has passed into the hands of
persons from other states during the
past two years and that most of it
already has been placed in cultivation
or will be cultivated next year. Per-
haps no other state has had so large
an immigration during this time of
people who are actually prepared to
begin agricultural operations.
-O-
We cannot cure the evils of our
day and time by return to savagery.
1t is not necessary to Iecome igno-
rant to increase our happiness. The
highway of civilization leads to the
light. The time will come when the
human race will be truly enlightened.
when labor will receive it's due re-
ward, when the last institution be-
gotten of ignorance and savagery will
disappear.-R. G. Ingersol.
