The Southwest Missouri Railroad
Company have agreed to extend the
South Main street line in Galena to
the east and west line and meet the
regular car service without extra
charge. The city council appointed n
committee to meet with officials of the
line on Saturday with the above re-
suits. The Galena Times, relative to
the matter does not say whether the
company or the city did the asking,
but it is likely the city did. Galena
has been in q bad position. Ever since
Mr.. Rogers built his line to the south
of the city to. the confusion of certain
city parties who had taken an author
tive position in the matter. While the
interurban company had the satisfac-
tion of humiliating Galena at the same
time they "cut off their noses to spite
their faces" and the extension of the
line from town to the interurban line
is q natural outcome and pleasant ar
rangement for both sides-it only re-
quired one side or the other to "crawl"
to the other side. Many people have
moved away from Galena because of
the mile walk between town and the
car line. The new arrangement will
be a big help to the town. Transfers
to any part of the city will be given
from the main line without extra
charge and it will be possible for any
one to ride from Galena as far as
Blackjack for 5 cents. The extension
is expected to be in operation by Sep
tember.

The Methodist church building board
have been making some improvements
on the original specifications as the
work of building goes forward. The
improvements will make the church
cost quite little sum more than was
originally intended, but will make it
one of the most beautiful buildings Of
it's kind in this part of the country.
One of the items is the covering of the
basement floor with flooring. The
floor is cement and the original inten-
ton was to leave it bare, but it is
more sanitary and satisfactory to
cover the cement. This item will cost
several hundred dollars. 1t was in
tended to make the cornice metal, but
later it was decided stucco would be
more appropriate and beautiful. L. l..
Cardin said if the board would make
the change he would pay the differ
ence of several hundred dollars more.
The church will be thing of beauty
as we'll as convenience.

The cry in Baxter Springs is
houses and more houses. The query
one answers q dozen times day in n

me where could find n four or five

greater than the supply. Few people
know how many people turn away
from Baxter Springs every day be-
cause they cannot get a house to live

WHEN THE CoLoRs WENT BY.

Omaha, Neb.-It was a wonderful
day in every way when the great mil
itary parade was started, and I never
expect to see another spectacle like it
unless I see an Allied army march in
to Berlin. AS the different depart
ments filed past, the people seemed to
get more and more enthusiastic. until
l believed they had reacehd the limit;
but when the Salvation Army passed
with the flags in front of the great re-
viewing stand and in front of the
court house, they stood up and cheer
ed till every window ratified. The Sal
walton Army has a warm place in their
hearts. DR.. Knowles, the War Drive
director, made many friends for the
Army, and with the kindly help of the
generous hearted members of the Elk
lodge, made it possible to raise $751;
900 for the Salvation Army War
Drive. God bless the people of Oma-
Ina

England has discovered that the war
has wrought Transformation in India
in shorter order than legislation could.
Take the Santals for instance, those
hillsmen of India. "In their isolated
hill villages it is rare to find a Santal
who can read" says Clinton H. S.
Koch, citizen of Devils Lake, now a
Methodist missionary in India, ."and
yet, now that great numbers of them
have been recruited for the Labor
Corps in France, there has been a de-
cided change. Those at home want to
know what it all means. They want
to know what their allies are. War
is taking them out of themselves,
teaching and broadening them. As
yet no statistics are available as to the
exact number of Santals who have
been recruited, but judging from the
common talk of the Santals them
selves I have been amazed at the
seeming large number of men who
have volunteered and been accepted
for service in France"

Haynes, N. D., Dec. 10.-The only
cooperative coal mine in North Da-

operating here with pronounced suc:-
cess. An unusually large force is be-
ing employed this year and produc
ton has been greatly increased. The
company maintains thoroughly mod
ern bunk-houses, hotels, amusement
places and other institutions for its
employees, who are well paid, satisfied
and generally permanent. Much OF
the coal mined here is sold in South

Bismarck, N.D.--Renewed effort
toward the conservation of anthracite
by those h%ouseholders in zones where
it is still available for domestic use is
urged by the United States fuel adj
ministration. In North Dakota COM
paratively little anthracite will be
used this winter outside of the eastern
third of the state, which includes the
Red River Valley.
The total output of domestic sizes
of anthracite is confined to households
and important reconstruction work.
Because of the need for decreasing
transportation as much as possible,
only those sections Of the country
nearest the anthracite mines were per-
mitted this. kind of coal for domestic
use, other sections formerly having a
supply now finding it greatly curtail-
ed or entirely cut off and the exclusive
use of bituminous or sub-bituminous
Goals substituted. Because North d.
kota is relatively close to the head of
the lakes, it is fortunate in obtaining
almost 80 per cent of its normal al
lotment of anthracite. OF this allot-
ment, however, less than so per cent
has been received from the docks to
date, and but for unusually favorable
late fall weather some of the districts
which rely almost exclusively on an
thracite might be suffering.
Capt. I. P. Baker has taken up with
the district and national fuel admin
istrattive executives and apparent
discrimination against North Dakota
against North and South Dakota in
favor of Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Both of the latter states have re-
ceived a larger proportion of their al
lotment than have either of the Dako-
tas. This inequality is due to impro-
per distribution upon the part of the
dock companies at the head of the
lakes, and Capt. Baker has announced
that it will Immediately be corrected.
The flu epidemic reduced the pro-
duction of anthracite up to October /
from five to fifteen per cent, or about
100000 tons. The reduction since
that date due to this cause has been
greatly increased. There will not be
enough anthracite to go around and
northwestern states will be fortunate
if they obtain even their much de.
creased allotments.

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 10.--As a result
of the recent reduction in the freight
rates on Ignite, amounting to approx
imately 80 per cent per ton to Fargo
and other Red River Valley points
from such producing centers as Will
ton. Garrison, and Bitumina, this ma
tive fuel is expected to enjoy anotne,
increase in popularity in the eastern
part of the state, which already, large.
ly due to the efforts of the federal fueI
administration, is using twice as much
Ignite as in any previous year.
