New York. the log says, illustrate the
great Importance Of aerial advertise
ments
At distance of 1000 feet above
New York, the air was disturbed, part
~ because of the heat rising from the
city and partly because OF an approach
ing cyclone from the Great Lakes.
The airship was very steady under the
circumstances.

headed for her Scottish base at an
estimated speed of sevcnty-four miles

crossed the American coast line -Four
engines were running at that time,
while a fifth was being rested An

friends. was very nice and warming"
BY 9:l5 o'clock Thursday morning
the dirigible had covered 430 miles
from New York The mail was then
sorted. 1t included letters for King
George, the British Foreign Office,
other governmental departments and a
number OF newspapers. The log adds ::

Farmers Bank and Duvall Trust
Company's Large 1aie Door
Arrives.

Mr.. Henry Wilke, mechanic for the
Mosler Safe Company of Hamilton,
Ohio, has been in the city the past
week experimenting the unloading
of the large round vault door they
have sold to the Farmers Bank and
Duvall Trust Company, to be put i'll
their safe deposit vault in the new
building. 1he unloading and deliv-
cry Of the door was done by J. w.
Rock and Son, of this city, who
moved it on their house moving truck
with eight horses to pull it. 1t was
backed up in front of the new build
ing last night.
The door is of the Mosler Mangan-
csc construction, some seven feet i'll
diameter and IL inches thick, and the
weight of the same is 10000 pounds
MIR. .Wilke said last night that when
this door was placed in the safe de-
post vault of the new building and
the bank moves their large Corliss
Safe, which weighs 10000 pounds and
which type Of safe has never been
burglarized, and instals it in their
new building, that the Farmers Bank
and Duvall Trust Company will be
the best equipped bank in the State Of
Missouri, outside of the large cities,
for burglar-proof and fire-proof pro-
lection.

Strikes And Living Costs.

A detailed report just issued by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of the De
partment of Labor on Wages and
Hours OF Labor in the Coal Mining
Industry i'll 1910 shows the average
hours worked in the bituminous field.
before the strike. were -o.I in hall
month, average hours worked per
week day were SIS, and the average
earnings per hour ~. This is all
average OF $500 per day. There are
said to be approximately 100000 min
ers on strike. which therefore means
a daily loss in wages OF $I.5S4,ooo.
On a basis of thirty working days
since the strike began the miners
have therefore up to this time lost
$47,52O,Ooo in wages The mine op-
orators and the various transporta-
ton interests concerned in getting the
coal from the mine to the consumer
have lost several times that sum. II
would probably be conservative .es-
innate to say that the direct loss to
date is 5000, 100000. But this sum.
vast as it is, is small compared with
the incalculable loss that is now fall
ing upon all industry. With factories
closing down all over the country
where dependence is placed upon BIZ
luminous coal. figures of loss rise
to proportions too large for comprc-
hension. In Chicago alone yester-
days dispatches report the closing
down of 1000 industrial plants, put
ting 100000 employees out of work,
with daily wage loss of $I.Ioo 900.
We have just gone through a steel
strike of proportions almost as great,
and of direct losses to wage-workers
and producers perhaps equally great.
The strike of the printing trades
workers and of the longshoremen in
New York, both against the orders of
their national organizations, have
caused losses of many millions, and
many other strikes. great or small,
have contributed and are still con-
tributing 10 the ,prodigious total. The
loss has borne. heavily upon wage
workers, and, the great strikes, at
any rate. haW failed of their purpose.

knows that the one remedy for the
high cost of living is production.
The only way by which the cqualiza-
ton OF supply and demand can BE
restored is by such concentration up
on production that the normal bal
ance can be regained. Every man in
this whole country should be busily
at work, giving his energies to pro-
duction. whether he be directly or
only indirectly a producer The sup
ply. the supply of all things, must be
SO increased that it will reach and
overtake the. demand, and then the
sure and memorable law will turn the
scale of prices downward. There is
no other thing that will do this. Leg
islative and administration measures
may alleviate but they cannot cure.
TO produce. to produce, and still to
produce, is the only way out.
And every strike is brake upon
or complete stoppage OF production
in the industry affected, and. more or
less. according to its nature. in the
industries related to it.. The steel
strike not only lowefed production in
the steel mills but in all the factories
dependent upon the. steel mills for
material. The adverse effects upon
production went far beyond the Dor
ders of the steel industry But the
coal strike goes far beyond any other
i'll the paralyzing of production. The
production of coal is essential to the
production OF all things that depend
upon the creation OF heat and energy.
Nothing could occur so destructive
to production. and therefore no thing
could occur so contributive to the con-
tinuance and the augmentation of the
high cost of living. as the stoppage
of the coal supply. The coal miners
are not only losing wages that in the
aggregate are over a million day,
but they are helping materially to
hold up. and to increase the living ex-
penses against which they. in COM
mon with all of us. complain.-St.

themselves assumed in opposing il
comes as an awful blow TO the bitter
endcrs.' The demand of the Ameri-
can people that the peace be settled
becomes more ins!stent each day and
it is -dawning upon the Republicans
that they have failed m,serably in
their efforts to make Wilson the
goat.
The fact is that the republicans tool,
upon their own shoulders the respon-
sibility OF holding up the peace of
the world solely to gain for them
selves political advantage, and up
on their shoulders that responsibility
must continue to lie The president
can do nothing more. He has pre-

their own people ior peace and the
settled conditions OF peace. proceed

Chambers of Commerce Throughout:

realizing the financial dangers OF the

and the Republicans charge that the
money interests are behind the

But the American people are not
fooled. They know where the re-
sponslhllity rests and they know that

unwise provisions the whole matter
would have been settled long ago.
The very nature OF the fight carried
on by the Republican leaders is a
