will be the critical time for the pa.
tient. It may suffer relapse unless
the diet is watched closely.
The diet is fairly well prescribed by
the present banking laws, but boys
will be boys you know, and these high
spirited youngsters like Farmer" Ha.
gen and Farmer" Sherman and
"Farmer" Waters and Farmer
Townley just couldn't be bothered with
observing the banking laws, so they
fed the patient anything he would
take. These farmers" should be
chided for their playfulness and told
not to do it again.
It reminds us of the story of the
colored man who was induced, for So
to take the place of fellow negro who
was about to be lynched, being told it
was a moving picture stunt" The
rope, fortunately, broke, and the in
nocent victim exclaimed: "Doggone
you fool white folks; you're gwine
hurt some niger one of these days.
Well, somebody's going to lose some
money one of these days if the boys
aren't restrained.-Forum.
-BuY W. s. s.-
The bituminous coal situation is liza
BILE to become very acute in the near
future. Four hundred thousand coal
miners have been ordered to strike on
November first. This strike is going
to work terrible hardship all over
the northwest and is going to cause a
lot of suffering at the hands of lot Of
men whose only thought in life is to
harass the people and gouge them.
These men are getting good wages
right now and their demands are un-
Just and unreasonable. It is such &C.
tons as these contemplated by the
miners that is putting the country in
it's present state of unrest and caus-
ing more Bolshevism than any other
one thing including the league of ma
tons. Our government should get
busy and use it's strong arm to pre-
vent this strike in the interest of hu-
mainly. The miners are taking the
people by the throat-not the en-
ployers. 1t is the people who have to
have the fuel and that are to be the
real sufferers in this strike deal. Ev-
cry ounce of energy ana power that
the government has should be used
to stop this strike at this time. There
is no justice in it and the sooner some
of these foreigners and radical agi-
tators who are the ones that are re-
sponsible for strikes should be sup
pressed. You can trace nearly every
strike we have had and after you
have run them down you find that it
is the doings of men who come from
foreign lands that are the leaders in
the radical movements and strikes.
The government should play an i'm
portant part once in awhile in run
ming this government and instead of
talking itself to death in the congress
sional chambers congress should get
busy and do something. We hear
nothing from day to day but league
of nations and talk, talk, talk on rati-
ication. If the senate would get busy
and either reject the treaty or ratify
it and then give the people of the
country some real service and less
hot air, we would all appreciate it.
The president is sick, the round table
outfit cannot agree, the senate of the
United States is chewing the rag over !

youging the public, the Bolsheviks !

What show have the people under
