STATE BUYS COAL NINE

The state coal commission has
bought a coal mine according to a
statement recently issued by Gov.
ernor Norbeck telling what is being
done in the way of progress. The
commission after investigation Of sew.
eral months failed to find a coal pro-
ducing territory in the state which
was available within practical distance
Of railway transportation, and under
authority of the law giving them
power they crossed the line into North
Dakota a few miles and purchased a
tract Of coal land near railway facili-
ties, including a mine already in OPP
GRAFTON in a small way, and are in
stalling machinery TO increase the out
put of this mine.
The governor shows that they have
purchased a tract within three and
a half miles of Haynes, North Dakota,
including 80 acres underlaid with a
feet in thickness; that the tests show
that the tract is underlaid with fully
1000, 900 tons of soft coal, which at
the price of $4,000 paid for the prop
erty would mean practically three
cents a ton for the coal, this without
taking into consideration the value Of
the mining plant on the property.
The purchase includes a right of
way to the railway tracks in Haynes,
and includes coal tipple, mine tracks,
mine cars, buildings and tools.
The present capacity of the machin-
cry is 200 tons a day, but the plant is
being increased.
The state is building the track to
connect the mine with the railway as
well as putting in new machinery,
and will be ready to send out coal
as o o as the track is completed and
work can be commenced.
Just what the production cost will
be will depend upon the labor which
can be secured, and the other condi.
tiOns which control in mining work,
but the cost will be practically that
Of placing the product upon the mar
ket.
Governor Norbeck gave out these
statements in reply to an inquiry from
a nonpartisan publication, which in,
sisted that they understood that the
state had paid an excessive price for
the property purchased.

BLACkIE
BY Mary Collins Terry

BY Mary Collins Terry
Once upon a time there vas an old
mother hen who had twelve baby
chicks. They were all fluffy and yell
low, except one who was so black
that be was called Blackie,
Every morning the little girl who
lived in the big farm house came out
to feed the chicks.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck," said the old
mother hen, and Peep, peep, peep"
cied the baby chicks as If they we're
saying thank you" to the little girl
for taking such good care of them.
Peep, peep said Blackie, now
that l have had my breakfast I'm 60
ing to take a journey" And away he
hoped from his mother and little
brothers and sisters as fast as he
could go.
By and by he came to a hole in the
fence and out he went. He found him
self on the nice green lawn and very
near a lovely big flower bed full Of
pretty red and yellow tulips.
What a fine world this is" thought
Blackie, I'm glad | ran away from
the old chicken yard, for it was never
so wonderful as this" With that he
began scratching around the tulip bed
to find something to eat.
Just then a terrible noise sounded
quite "a him.

WHY WORRY ABOUT OIL?

troleum and it's products are continually increasing, but even more striking is our increased dependeRce upon few of the products of the o1refinery, notably gaso- line, kerosene, the many types of lubri- eating oils and fuel oil.
 There are said to be 300 or more prod- ucts of petroleum, each with it's own use. Some of these products serve mere ly our convenience, such as the artificial
 vanilla flavoring or the cover of paraf- fine on the jar of jelly or marmalade; others were found during the war period to be absolutely essential to industry oh a large scale; for example, the heavy oil used in tempering steel plates.
 Tt is when we think of the marvellous growth of the automotive industry that we realize a future demand for lubrica- tion that staggers even the prophetic st;tistician. With more than e,000,o00 pleasure automobiles operated in the United States alone, we have an annuaa consumption estimated. by the officials of the foremost company manufacturing high-grade lubricants, at 12O, 900 of lub- ricating oil, where twenty years ago the demand for this purpose was p1ActicaNy nothing.'

LUKE M,LukE SAYS

Some men seem to go to church on Sunday so they will have nice quiet place to cough
 Even a dealer in second-hand-eeods might draw the line on marrying a wom- an who has been divorced four times.
 A woman never knows half as much about the neighbor who sends her wash to the laundry as she does about the line.
 We have noticed that having big feet won't make a girl wear ankle-length skirts the way having little calves will.
 If a girl knows that she has a shape like Aphrodite, you can bet your socks that she is gong to dress that way.
 During the engagement she giggles at every word you say. But when you are married she'll act like you are as funny as a hanging on rainy Friday morning.
 Even if the letter that comes to the house addressed to her husband is ad- dressed on typewriter. you can't make a wife believe that 1t isn't addressed in A feminine hand.
 Once in a while it happens that man is paving installments on his wedding sult and his divorce suit at the same time.
 You have often opened a letter writ ten on perfumed stationery and founss a check inside, haven't you? Neither have we.
 Do not blame the women for all the matrimonial fusses. No man is as good- natured and cheerful around the house as he is when he is downtown.

From the Baltimore sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 This former governor of Alabama, who is now a candidate for the United States Senate to succeed the late Senator Bank head of that state, in the first fornfai statement of his campaign has announced himself in favor of light wines and beers.
 He says the Volstead act is a force nff, and is certain to become a source of un- paralleled bribery. corruption and tyr amy. Such an attitude is an unusual
 enc in southern candidate for office. l But Emmet o'Neal has been ever a fighter. He male a fighting speech in Baltimore eight or nine years ago, roasting the radicalism of the west
 that aroused the ire of several western
 governors. He had a fight once with
 Woodrow Wilson over the question of the
 initiative and referendum, which Mir O'Neal did not like. As governor of Ala.
 bama he had various fights with various
 clements in his own state, once with the
 corporations over mining. bill which ht put through the legislature; once with
 the lawyers over the laws delay and the establishment of court of appeals which he also put through, and severa times with the prohibitionists He wa:
 best known, during the early years oi
 his term as governor. as the man whs Ihad notified every sheriff in Ihe stat.
 that if he permitted prisoner to bt taken from him and lynched he woult
 be impeached and removed from office. Usually he won his fights; maybe h, will win this one.

THE MINORITY LEADERSHIP,

Senator Underwood being the abler and the more influential senator of the two. should be made an example of. These few southern senators, for be 1t said to the credit of the majority of the sena- tors from the south, they supported Sem ator Underwood, managed to get a tie vote on the leadership by combining with the western senators who begged for 8 western man on the grounds that in their states they were put on the defensive by charges that the south was ruling the country by dominating the democratic party.
 The natural result of a declaration by the Anti-Saloon League that Senator Hitchcock will not do and should be beat en, is to release sucn senators from southern states as had been previously whipped into line by the activities of that organization In the minority leadership fight which they have now abandoned. Regardless, however, of any action by the Anti-Saloon League in settling by itself the leadership of the Senate. it has been reasonably certain all along that Senator Underwood would be chosen mi- nority leader, This selection was de- ferred by courtesy of Senator Underwood until after the treaty fight, which was led by Senator Hitchcock, and which went against. the democrats. Senator Under
 wood has further extended that courtesy while Senator Hitchcock could take ten days rest

From the Montgomery Advertiser.

From the Montgomery Advertiser. lWN HAYNE B. WHEELER, Attorney MW and chief lobbyist fop the eAnti- Saloon League, has indirectly indorsed, on the part of the Anti-Saloon League, the candidacy of Senator Under wood for minority leader, by attacking Senator Hitchcock, the only opponent of
 Senator Underwood for the honor of be- ing minority leader. Senator Hitchcock, the Wheeler statement declares, should be beaten for President. for which he has announced himself ass candidate, and he should be beaten for minority leader. | This cuts the ground from under few sriteful Alabamians, who turned on the
 most distinguished southern senator to demand his defeat by a western senator, who had voted as often as Senator Under wood had against extreme prohibition I laws. It also leaves certain southern sen ators, only few in number, however, who were made to support Senator Hitch cock by pressure brought on through the | efforts of the Anti-Saloon League. These senators overcame their natural inclina-
 ton to vote for Senator Underwood and l suppressed their convictions that he was
 the ablest man to lead the party. because of the demands of the Anti-Saloon
 League They were disposed to argue lwith the Aati-Saloon lobbyists that Sen ator Hitchcock had the same record on
 prohibition legislation as did Senator Un- derwood but these few senators sue cumbed when the lobbyists insisted that
