THIS IS THE BIRTHDAY OF
Francis Lubbock,
is IT YOURS?
OCT. 16. 1915.

A trip in search OF lost brother
was the cause Of Francis Lubbock s
becoming governor Of Texas. He lived
TO see the wild country he made ms
home grow and develop into the power
ful state il now ii. ~,
He was born in South Carolina, tne
son of an enterprising man who own
ed the first steamship to go between
Charleston and Augusta. Ga. AT the
age of IA he was a clerk in hard
ware store a; the munificent wages OF
$3.50 a month.
The romantic stories Of the city or
New Orleans attracted him. and there
he went to engage in the drug bust
ness. He failed and had to accept po-
stion as a clerk in jewelry store. The
wear before his brother had gone to the
Mexican war and when he did not
come back Francis started in search
Of him, His travels took him INTO
Texas and tho country SO charmed him
that he decided to make the new state
his home. He built the third house in
the settlement that later became ne
city of Houston.
He fought Indians and Mexicans ana
grew as the state grew. He was mace
governor at the end. of several years.

managed to sidetrack letter three or
four days in transmission between

precisely clear. Maybe they managed

AsrRIKE THAT MEANS INTERFERENCE

The coal strike order Is. out for
Nov. 1. Unless some arrangement Is
made thru the offices OF the govern
ment the bitunlinous coal miners are
to cease digging coal regardless Of the
consequences to the country at the
beginning Of winter.
The secretary Of labor. Mr.. Wilson.
announces that the presidents OF the
mine workers and Of the coal opera
tors organizations "have accepted his
invitation to a conference with him.
He hopes that the strike may be
ayerted.
II the strike may not be "averted"
thru the secretary OF labor what then!
Is the country to freeze, railroads
cease to transport freight and pas
sengers, factories shut down and gen.
eral disaster follow in the wake OF the
determination Of the miners to force
certain demands and the similar uc-
termination Of the coal owners ana
operators to deny? That Is what that
strike, called for the first day Of the
first severe winter month means. 1t
means suffering from freezing weather
without any opportunity Of any kind
to relieve it in the larger centers. FOR
when the railroads can not transport
fuel to populations Of millions crowded
into cities there Is nothing left but to
freeze. There Is no possibility Of
supplying the cities with fuel except
coal and coal is to be left in the mines
or lie where It was digged with dead
locomotives beside it Factory hands
are to &c thrown out Of employment at
the beginning Of the'season when their
labor is most imperative to the needs
Of their families, business Is to Ian
guish. the products Of the western
farms are to be denied to those who
depend upon them to exist In the in
dustrial centers and large cities.
The coal must be digged and
shipped. That Is the place to begin
arguing this question. It will come to
congress and the president In q way
that can be shifted or avoided the
first consideration 10 protection Of the

Cat. "You see, ever since you tried to

O. Possum was startled. You don't
mean to tell me you are In love with
Lady DuckT
"That is Just itr--that ID why want

very serious, that is the reason am
going to see the king. Lady Duck Is
such kind creature that I cannot help
but love her I am going to ask the
king II I can marry her"
They came to the kings throne.
Tinker Bob knew they were coming
and was ready for them. Each told
his story and asked that he might
marry Lady Duck.

said the king. You remember when
both Of you wanted to Kali Lady Duck.

sprAxlnn or KITCHENS.

The Cedar Rapids Gazett is finding
fault with the modern kitchen. 1t IN
sists that the kitchen should be twice
az big a. any other room in the house,
wants a big fireplace with andirohs
and a crane and q place to toast ap-
ples and would hang all the clothes
In the house up in the kitchen. 1t
imagines that would be coy.
Folks get that way. It's the natural
reaction that comes when the young
fellow reads about the old times wnen
the cheerful blaze OF the fireplace lit
the ROOM and SO on. Perhaps the edi-
tor has been reading whittier-s Snow
bound.
But that old fashioned fireplace
wasn't what the poets crack it UP to
have been. The fact Is that nobody
ever was warm on both sides before
fireplace on a cold day. n Is also true
that the old houses were drafty and
that the doors didn't lit, that those
who lived in them crouched over that
deep mouthed fireplace" while the
chimney reared" baking their bowels
and burning their cheeks while little
zero devils played tag up and down
their backbones. 1t sounds and reads
beautifully. poetry about the long ex-
panse of snow and the warm breath
OF the oxen and all that but did you
ever get up in one of those old lash
toned houses OF a cold morning, pull
on a pair of frozen boots and go out
10 feed the stock? Pshaw boy.
And that old fashioned kitchen with
its big stove why it was fair woman
killer. There's just as much reason Tor
putting a Job printing plalt In a room
twice az big as it needs as in that
harm of a Kitchen. Grandmother walk
I'd miles to DO her work where her
granddaughter walks rods. She lived
in that blamed kitchen. She had to
II she got her work done. She smoked
her eyes out over f;replaces and wrest-
led with stoves and carried in the wood
to keen the kitchen fires burning. Her
srandda lighter or great granddaughter
turns a screw and the flame OF the gas
stove springs alive. She turns a tap
with her other hand and water gushes
as 1t did when Moses did that biblical
stunt with the boulder. She doesn't

Wouldn't 1t seem strange to wander
out into. the great forest world ana
have tho jewellers come together and
make you king? 1t seemed very
strange to Tinker Bob. But after think
ing about it, he decided 1t wasn't so
after oil. The secret Of becoming KING
was the stone of knowledge. This gave
him so much more power than any
dweller of the forest, because by this
stone he knew and Gnderstood--and
anyone that knows and understands
everything has u right to be king.
Tinker Bob was happy while he was
king, and all of the dwellers were
happy too. Never before had Jerry
the Jay and little Baby Owl been
friends. Now 1t was common to see
them perched on one limb talking to-
gether. And to think o. Possum was
now a friend OF Lady Duck! But
strange things happen when the king
has the stone of Knowledge. and this
is only the beginning OF o. Possum's
capers. y
One night when everything was
silent in the great forest, o. Postum
vcntured forth. He looked about to
make sure that all was well. He want
ed to see the king, but he wanted the
king to be all alone. Something very
important was on his mind and no one
could hear his story but the king. for
the king was good.
But just as he started out, another
forest dweller appeared in the path
that led to the kings throne. 1t was
