Peace-Time Topics

Let's forget the busted kings,
for a while; more uplifting,
helpful things are in style; let
Jus paint up our abodes, let us
boost for better roads, so the
mules may haul their loads with
"a smile. We have talked so
long of scraps, and of gore, that
our voices and our maps are a
bore; let it now be understood
we intend to cut some wood, so
our credit may be good at the
store. Let the kaiser sit and
nope, in distress; let the kron-
prinz hand out dope to the
press; I've abandoned words for
deeds; I'll supply our daily
needs, buy my wife a string of
beads and a dress. Let our
gifted statesmen frame terms of
peace; doubtless they can play
the game, slick as grease; it is
ours to put up ice, it is ours to
earn the price, so the children
may have rice and roast geese.
To the tale of war so long we
gave tongue, that the old-time
chestnut gong should be rung;
now the war is done and past,
and the guns have ceased to
blast, let us hustle till the last
dog is hung. Let us scrub, on
Bonded knees, all the floors; let
US paint the apple trees, out of
doors; let us mend that broken
walk, fix the clothesline, wind
the clock-we can find an end
less stock of such chores.

MDIANA's FIRST COAL SHAFT
Old Mine Near Evansville Disappears
and the Site Has Become a
Beauty Spot.

After mere than fifty years the old
Ingle coal mine has disappeared from
the Ohio river front between Evans
vile and Howell. 1t was the first
mine to be opened in Indiana and it
was owned and operated by an Eng
lish syndicate, the Indianapolis News
states.
When the shaft was sunk it was
called thesBodiam mine and was man
aged by John Wymond, who came to
Evansville from England for that
purpose. The mine had been com
pletely worked out when it was aban-
doned. The workings had Grifted un-
der the Ohio river to the Kentucky
shore.
The English syndicate sold the mine
to John Ingle, Sr., and it remained in
his family many years. The last own
er was James II. Moore, owner of the
Crescent coal mine in Evansville.
The clearing away of the tipple
gives an unobstructed view of the
river for the new West Side junior
high school. The hill has now be-
come one of the beauty spots of the
city.

JOSEPH w. SMITH,
First Lieutenant, 10th Infantry.

Lieutenant Smith was decorated for
conspicuous gallantry in action near
st. Baussant, France, September 12
1913. Finding that his platoon would
be under heavy fire from six enemy
machine guns in crossing the Rupt de
Mad, Lieutenant Smith plunged into
the stream ahead of his men, and
crossing to the opposite bank, exposed
himself to fire from the guns in order
to ascertain their exact location. He
then led his men in flank attack on
the enemy position, capturing the guns
and nineteen Germans, this officer him
self carrying rifle and using it with
telling effect. Lieutenant Smiths
quick judgment and disregard for per-
sonal safety enabled the entire line to
advance without being separated from
its barrage. His mother, Mrs. Rita l..
Smith, lives in Austin, Tex.
