The Man Who Acts

Roosevelt acted, and the world had
the Panama Canal.
Dewey acted. and the United States
had the Philippines.
Lincoln acted, and America had
emancipation
The forefathers acted, and we had
the Declaration Of Independence, the
Revolution and the American nation,
Justified though they were, neces-
sary though they were, the original
coal injunction proceedings did not
get the coal for the country. Sincere
or insincere the negotiations between
operator and miner, OF Cabinet officer
and miner, or Fuel Administrator and
miner, did not get the coal for the
country, Imperative though they may
be, the new court proceedings again st
the officers of the United Mine Work
ers may not get the coal for the coun-
try. Legal proceedings against both
the operators and the miners might
not &c the coal for the country.
But out in Kansas, where there was
complete tie up by the strikers, a
man acted and the people Of his
State got the coal.
Letting no grass grow under his
feet while all the conferences and COM
mittees we're meeting and adjourn
ing, wasting no words while all the
talk was going on, Governor Allen
got the mines through receiyerships.
Governor Allen got volunteers TO
mine coal. Governor Allen got them
to rhe mines with motor tracks when
strikers interfered with passenger
trains. Governor Allen, whatever
happened and under whatever circum-
stances goth the coal out Nobody
doubts that he will go on getting it
out, Nobody doubts that this man
who acts will get the coal delivered
to the-people Of Kansas.
And, thanks TO the example OF Gov
ernor Allen, who acted on the spot,
other Governors may get coal for
their States in the same way.

GATHERING OF PLANETS

Wild Predictions That Calamity Is
Due the 18th of the Present
Month

4 great deal of interest has been
aroused by the announcement of n
tremendous world catastrophe to
occur on or about the nth of this
month This prediction, attributed to
professor Porta," is based ON the
fact that six of the planets-Mercury,
Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and
Neptune-Will then be grouped to-
gether in the morning sky. The
planet Uranus viii be directly op.
posite.
We are told that the magnetic cur,
rents between Uranus and six plan
cts will pierce the sun like mighty
spear" There will result, according
to this prediction, the hugest sun
spot on record-a sun-spot that viii
be- visible to the naked eye" The
electromagnetic energy given forth
by this sun-spot WILL we are assured,
produce on the earth hurricanes.
lightning colossal rains and floods,
gigantic lava eruptions, great earth
quakes and fearful cold"
While the planetary grouping this
month is unusual, it is by no means
unprecedented. Many times in the
past similar groupings have taken
place without any remarkable results
and there is no reason to expect any
thing ont of the ordinary this time
Careful observation of sun-spots, ey-
tending over many years. has shown
that these spots attain maximum fire.

The last maximum occurred some

The best evidence available tends

ance in the solar atmosphere similar
to a terrestrial tornado. 1t is prob
ably produced by an eruption of gases
from within the sun The gaseous
column moves at first upward, then
along the surface, with whirling
motion as in tornado. Many at
tempts have been made to trace some
connection between these spots and
occurrences on the earth. The only
relationship discovered so far is be-
tween sun-spots and terrestrial mag
netism. 1t has been found that mag
netic storms, accompanied by dis
plays Of the aurora borealis, are most
frequent when sun-spots are in evi-
dence. Thus even if a huge sun-spot
should appear, nothing in the way of
world catastrophe would result,

against the appearance of such spot

THE RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEAL

l. DR.. Phillip P. Jacobs OF the Ma.
tional tuberculosis Association states
that in many parts of the Country
here has been considerable confusion
between the Red Cross Roll Cali and
the sale of the Red Cross Christmas
Seals. Many people have the impress
sion that the Red Cross have hardly
finished one financial campaign when
they are starting second one
through the Red Cross Seals.
The first Red Cross Seals were
printed by the American Red Cross in
very limited quantity. In 1908 the
National tuberculosis Association
asked the Red Cross for the use of
the seals to raise funds to fight
tuberculosis. This was granted
Each year the tuberculosis Associa-
ton have extended the sale of the
seals until this year it is hoped that
it will bring in six and one-half mil
Ion dollars to fight tuberculosis.
Before the Red Cross Seal made
its first appearance there were very
few hospitals and sanatoria, no pre-
ventoria and no open air schools.
Only a few of the larger cities had
any organization that was fighting
The disease The Red Cross Seal had
been largely the means of changing
all Of dis for through its sale yolun-
teer organizations were financed
and influence brought to bear on Off
oials of the Boards of Health and
Legislatures. There are now con-
stantly increasing number of tubercu-
losis hospitals, sanatoria, prevention
ia and clinics.
Most everyone in the country has
had preached to them the import.
ance of cleanliness and fresh air.
This work has not been without any
results for the death rate from tuber-
culosis has grown less consistently.
It is estimated that at present there
are fifty thousand less deaths an
nually form this df3ease in the
United States than there were 90
years ago.

This was demonstrated here by

with an awful thirst, and no other bev-
erage, except water, being available
at the moment, they proceeded When
the nurse was not looking to imbibC
freely of alcohol, a bottle of which
was standing nearby. Then they de
cided to adulterate the alcohol with
i formaldehyde. The effect was very
similar to that of casting a match into

blossoms were entirely over, the furni-
ture in the room was nearly all

PROPER ADVERTISING PAYS

This city will grow just to the ex-
tent that its business men make #
grow. They can make it CONNER
cial and tourist center or thew can let
it jog along as it is. If they think
they are able to devise successful adj
vertlsing methods. well and good, #
they don't know how, then they should
be willing to foot the bills while some
one who does know how demonstrates
his ability to do SO.
The most successful merchant in
any town, large or small, is the one
who does the most advertising in an
intelligent way. Advertising is an art.
1t is mistake to suppose a novice
can write a successful ad. He NAV hit
1t right, but it would be only a guess
at the best. 1t takes time and studv
to learn the business just as it does to
become a doctor or lawyer. Few
mercantile houses in small cities
maintain a professional advertisi.q
man, and it is wise for such concerns
to secure the services of an ad writer.
The Leader knows the virtues of adj
Vertising. 1t knows why some ads
bring results while others fail. It will
tell you these reasons if you care
enough about it to call and ask US.

BREATHEs THERE THE MAN?

Breathes there the man with soul 81
dead
Who never to himself hath said.
This is my own, my native land,
Whose heart has meier within him
burned,
AS home his footsteps he hath turned
From wandering on a foreign
strand?
Il such there breathe, go, mark him
well!
For him no minstrel raptures swell;
High though his title, proud his mama,
Boundless his wealth as wish can
claim
Despite those titles, power and pelf,
The wretch concentered all in self.
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he
sprung,
Unwept, unhonored, and unsung.

Bird Saves Boys Life
on French Battlefield

Manchester, N. H.-How a
bird on a battlefield of France
indirectly saved the life of Pri-
vate Edward Lassonde of the
United States heavy artillery
was told by the young man in
a letter to his father.
Lassonde said that he was
riding on a caisson loaded with
ammunition when a bird began
to circle about his head. 1t
flew so close that its wings al
most brushed Lass0nde's cap.
Finally the young soldier sprang
from his seat and ran after
the bird. Just then a German
shell struck the caisson and it
went up with a mighty explo-
sion. The Manchester boys
chase of the bird saved him
from injury or death.

Work.

There is nothing but what's bearable,
as long as man can work. The nature
Of things don't change, though it seems
as if ones life was nothing but change.
That the square of four is sixteen, and
you must lengthen your lever in pro-

when a mans miserable as when he's
happy; and the best of working Is, 1t
gives you a good grip-hold of things
