death ut the hands Of tyrant Caligu'a.
He was naturally weak and timid ana
was treated with contempt when no

the NEW DEMANDS Or 1sr MINES.

The Iowa coal miners are to ask Tor
a six hour day and increased compen-
sation in abrogation OF the present
wage scale which was to hold until
peace or April of 1920 and new con-
tract which while not fully worked out
as to the demands to be made by the
miners will include the points re-
marked upon above and is intended to
become effective October / next. Ac-
ton will be taken at the meeting Of
the United Mine Workers of America
which convenes September at Col
umbus, Ohio.

diets coal famine unless the demands
Of the miners are acceded to. He says
5000 miners have left the state be-
cause they could not get work enough
to make living and more are going.
The people who buy and consume
coal do not want men to starve dig
ging it for them. They desire wages
for miners and profits for operators
Just to consumer, miner and operator.
But they find themselves much puzzled
by the proclamation at one time that
scarcity Of miners threatens coal fam
in and Is responsible for price rises
and the other proclamation that the
men can't get enough work to mako a
living and are moving out Of the state
by the assertion at one time that the
miners are refusing work and the other
that they can't find 1t at decent wages

It does not need the passing OF
George Primrose to tell Us Of the death
Of that well-remembered Joy, the
minstrel show. Several recent musical
comedies have interpolated minstrel
scenes, with middle man and end men
as Of yore and row over row OF burnt
cork faces rising amphitheatrically
above them. But the grace OF the day
that is dead never comes back. Most
empha tically, the fault does not lie in
airing disabilities, nor yet in the dry-top
badness of the antique joke. The old
minstrel show was wittier than the
modern imitation even when allowance
IL made for things seen in the dark
abysm OF time; but It was not verbal
antics that made its memories forever
golden. wit 10 the smallest part OF

to do with horse thieves. In the early
days of the west horses were SO valu-
able and it was so almost impossible
for the settlers to get along without
them that they adopted the most dras-
tic punishment, and where the courts
were too slow the people did their own
hanging. A horse was. an easy thlns
to steal, for the thief could ride away
on his stolen property. 1t Is now about
the same with an automobile.

and support of the whole new world, which was saved from its own fate, until the equilibrium of things had been re-established. American Red Cross missions are located now in every country where the enemy has brought misery, and the work that they have to perform is looming larger and larger as the situations are brought under closer survey. The work must continue until the heed no longer exists.
 The campaign for clothing went over the top in the Southwestern Division. A letter just received from Manager Fairbank of the di- vision states: The clothing collec- ton campaign of March 24 to 31, was a most pronounced success in the states of Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, com prising the Southwestern Division of the American Red Cross. Acting Manager Fairbank authorizes me to make the statement that the Divis- ion's quota of 2,O00, ,000 pounds will be met and with some to spare. The most satisfying news from the cam paign, Manager Fairbank says, is the report that comes into head quarters that the clothing is all good, durable and great deal of it is new clothing, showing that the people of the Southwestern Division have sent the best assistance possi- ble to European sufferers.
 The clothing campaign of the Lee county chapter was success, not that we reached our quota, but that all the clothing was of the very best and great portion of it was new. The E. J. Beazley Co. donated over $500 worth of new clothing, consisting of mems suits, ladies' coat suits and dresses and children's clothing.
 Mrs. R. B. Pipkin, director of the Haynes auxiliary, had charge of the clothing campaign in that dis trict. On the first day or so of her canvass for clothing she was very much discouraged, fearing that she would never be able to gather the desired amount of clothing, but when she reached the store of J. J. Hughes, ST., her fear was turned to joy as if by magic when these two gentlemen, father and son, invited her into their store and bade her go through the stock of goods and see what she could find in the way
 of clothing for the poor European
 war sufferers, as result of Mrs. Pipklns' journey through the stock
 of goods in the J. J. Hughes store the Haynes auxiliary was able [
