II is said that the demands of the
coal miners of the country If grant
ed will double the price of coal and
add a billion dollars year to the
.country's coal bill. This is not al
together a very cheerful prospect.
Evidently we have altogether too
large a supply of radical agitators
who are making too rapid steps
toward Industrial decentralization.
The thing is being overworked
II is claimed that candy and ice
cream makers of Chicago haze ten
alillion pounds of sugar, while re-
tail srccers we're Unable to get a
supply OF sugar for their trade. II
vas a fact commented upon last
year that the candy market was al
ways II ,ly supplied and one coull
bGy candy in any desired quanti.ie,
while people were buying sugar on
the card system and limited to a
certain amount each week.
E. E. Byrum and wife, who have
been guests at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Davis, the past week, re-
turned to their home in Des Moines
on Monday. Mr.. and Mrs. Byrum
lived in Audubon many years ago,
but since they have left here they
have been back occasionally on a
visit. They noticed many improve
ments in the city since they were
here last and feel that Audubon is
about the best town of its size on
earth.
Almost every school boy has read
the fable of the man who killed the
goose that laid the golden eggs,
thinking thereby he would get the
entire laying all at once, only to
find that he lost the goose and got
no more eggs. The story may yet
become a realized fact. There are
strikes and strikes. If they keep
on, the demand for higher wages
will yet so increase cost that con-
sumption will fall of. production
will stop, and instead of princely
wages there will be no work at any
price.
An Osceola preacher made the
following announcement one Sunday
evening recently: Next Sunday
/ expect to preach about Liars, and
win ask the congregation about
some of the things in the seven
teenth chapter of Mark" The next
Sunday arrived, and the preacher
asked all who had read the seven
teenth chapter of Mark to hold up
their right hands. About fifty-five
people hoisted their hands. Now
you are the liars ! am going to talk
about, said the preacher. There
are only sixteen chapters in the
book of Mark"
