Locust Grove Population
Has Gradually Decreased

Locust Grove, eighteen months
ago n bustling little settlement of
negroes, who were employed at the
steel plant, to-day has n population
of sixty. When the buildings were
first erected about two years ago as
high as four hundred negroes lived
there and the population was al
ways around that mark until the
armistice was signed. Since Novem-
Der of last year work has gradually
decreased at the steel plant and the
population of this settlement has
slowly dwindled away. The lowest
number of negroes at Locust Grove
was eighteen, officials of the plant
said this morning. At the settlement
a cafeteria, gymnasium and 1er
amusements for the negroe re
running full blast a year ago. The
doors of these places have now been
closed and in a few words Locust
Grove has passed out of existence.

COWBOYS BOOT
SHOP IN STRAITS
Labor Shortage May Close
Up Unique Kansas
Establishment

Topeka, Kan.-The largest hand
made cowboy bootshop in America
is at Olathe, Kan. The custom OF
making handmade boots, however
is becoming lost art, the owner
declares. Within another ten years
ne visualizes machinery taking over
the thread d-needle-thimble combina-
ton.
Forty-three years ago II. c. Hyer
came to Kansas from Illinois and
got a job as teacher in the shoemak-
ing shop at the deaf and dumb
school at Olathe. He conceived the
Idea of setting up shop of his own,
and hung out shingle sign: Cow
boy boots made here" To-day a
gold-lettered sign has taken It's
place. The shop, instead of being a
one-man establishment, has eighty
employees. Close to $1,000 pairs of
boots are turned out annually.

LOCAL PLANT NOT AFFECTED
BY SLOW COAL SHIPMENTS

Slow shipments of bituminous
coal did not affect operation of the
local steel plant to any great extent,
according to officials of the plant
this morning. A large amount of
bituminous coal is used at the plant
but officials managed to get enough
shipments to keep things running
over the temporary layoff of miners.
Railroad and coal tieups are injur-
ious to the operation of the steel
plant but so far the situations have
been met without any great difficult
ties.

THE POINT OF VIEW

"Do YOU think you can get me out
of this scrape?" asked the confidence
man of his shifty lawyer.
"How much would it be worth to
me?"
suppose we say $1,0O0?"
"And you made $4,000 out of the
deal? No sir. / don't see the slight
est chance to get you acquitted for
81, 900, but, ahem, we might view the
matter from another angle"
what do you mean?"
'T4ooking at your case from $5,-
600 angle, don't see the slightest
chance for you to be convicted. =

EVEN. AFTER ALL

A suspicious-looking customer was
hoa sting to a grocer of the cheap
ness of ten pounds of sugar he had
bought at a rival shop.
"Let me weigh the package" said
the grocer.
The other assented, and it was
found two pounds short.
The man looked perplexed for a
moment and then said: II don't
think he cheated me much, for while
he was getting the sugar I pocketed
two tins of condensed milk."-Edin-
