w. A. sTARN.

AS a candidate for the nomination
for sheriff on the republican ticket, W.
A. Starn has made a strong Showing,
and it is conceded by those who are
best informed that he is one of the two
high men out Of the five candidates
This showing is chiefly due to the fact
that Mr.. Starn has made clean. ag-
gressive campaign and has had good
record to recommend him to the people
thsuout the county. AS a member of
the local police department for a period
of more than six years he has dis
charged his duties well. The people
with whom he came. in closest contact
during these years of service are his
friends and are unanimous in their
statement that his nomination would
be good thing for the party which he
represents and also the county. In the
event of his election. the county would
be well served in the sheriff's Office.
He is comparatively young man who
has had experience that qualities him
for the Office he seeks: this, together
with mis- personal record, makes iiiir d
strong candidate and contender for the
nomination.

1917 BROKE ALL RECORDS

New York, Jan. lin 1917
there was more coal mined in the
United States than ever before in
one year. In spite of poor labor
conditions, ten million more tons of
anthracite and AZ million more tons
of bituminous coal was produced
last year than in 1916. This is
shown in figures just compiled by
the United States geological survey
and the anthracite board of infor-
nation.
The impression that much of this
coal was. sent to Europe is erro-
neous. Very littel left the country
With incomplete figures of exports
for last year, experts today esti-
mated that about 100000 tons or
approximately three per cent of the
entire coal output was exported.
One-half of this went to Canada.
Expanded war Industries, experts
say are responsible for the increas-
ed production. Figures availa Bile
for 1917 show that 544, 100000
tons of bitiminous coal and 9e,6S0.
000 tons of anthracite coal was
q mined in this country.

dress. I'VE must fight hard to save
the organization from internal foes"
White urged the miners to adopt the
washington wage agreement" In
explaining the penalty clause, to which
there has been some opposition, he
said.
This will prevent sporadic strikes
