ECONOMY AND WARMTH

There's a way out of the coal and rent situation Funny no one has pro- posed it until this minute. Don't pay double rent and don't worry about coal shortages. Just put on your over- coat and your suit case and get on the train for Mexico Go. across the border and into the first bandit camp you find there and say, "Tm an Amerl- can who has come over to be held for ransom" It's warm down in Mexico and the bandits will have to keep you we'll fed for fear of losing the ransom if you die on their hands. You can stall them along all winter and then in the spring you can pay what they ask and return home. You will have avoided all the annoyance of the coal situation and your bill for services in Kidnapping and ransoming will be less than your landlord would have asked. Special trains for the purpose, the Kidnappee express, will be made up if enough applicants apply.

THE EVER-USEFUL BANANA

Here's hope Some useful nut has discovered that cloth can be made of the fiber of banana plants. All you have to do, first, is to find your banana plant. You select, if possible, one that is only one year old. You chop the plant down and unroll it's many layers. which are put on the same as an onions overcoat. Then you steam the layers over boiling water until they are soft. Next you pull the pieces, one by one, through an apparatus which consists of two dull blades that act as scrapers. These remove the covering and leave the fiber After this you wrap up the fiber in cloth and pound it to remove the excess moisture. Last the fiber is cleaned, twisted into yarn aid woven into cloth. The material is said to be very dur able and of an attractive appearance.

Atlas must have been a genuinely strong man. No question about it He must have been so strong that all other strong men, Samson and John l.. Sullivan and Sandow and Goliath, were mere children. It is only re. gently that Atlas has really been ap- preciated at his worth. People recog- nized in way that he must have been quite fellow to hold the earth on the back of his neck. But it is only re- gently that anyone has taken time to figure out just what the earth weighs It weighs, according to Professor Louis E.

THE COMING ELECTION

The municipal election takes place three weeks from next Tuesday, and thus far there is not an announced candidate in the field for any of the local legislative honors There is a mayor to be elected aand the terms of three of the present council expire and as one of the hold-over members intends to resign, there will be four vacancies in the councilmanic body
 Several very important public i'm proyements are at present alnder con- sideration, and it is imperative that available timber for the administra- tion of the city's affairs during the coming year, At best it is thankless job. but one that has to be filled, and those who have the interests of the city at heart should be patriotic and self-sacrifcing enough to be willing to serve their constituents.
 The election of a mayor is also inn portant, as he is at the head of the local government Tn this connection the Daily Times would suggest that A. J. Adams, the incumbent, be pre- vailed upon to again allow the use of his name at the April election for the mayoralty. He has proven himself a most efficient executive, and should be reelected without opposition.

CHICAGO, Nov. g (by Associated Press) The National and American baseball leagues have broken up and a tWelve-club league organized by the meeting of eleven major league repre- sentatives, the twelfth club to be named later.

 The reorganization plan will be laid before the minor league meeting at Kansas City. One member of the tribunal is to be named by the minors. OPPOSITION IN MINOR LEAGUES
 KANSAS CITY, Nov. 9 (by Associ. ated Press).-First arrivals for the minor league baseball meeting de- Clared the minors would not accept the proposal for new control of base ball by civilian tribunal. The view was expressed that the minor clubs were able to govern themselves.
 President Ban Johnson of the American league and five of the club owners of that league today declared war to the finish against the forma- tion of the new twelve-club league Johnson said clubs will be established in Chicago, Boston and New York to take the places of the clubs joining the new National league.
 We are prepared to give them all the battle they want. The American league is going on about it's own busi- ness and will have clubs in the eight cities which have composed the cir cult for years," Johnson declared.
 War is the best cleanser, and I'm for it as l believe it will clean mp baseball. What the game really needs is to be cleansed of some undesirable owners who have been detriment because they allowed gambling in the ball parks"
