Question-Have you seen the
male and female quail setting on
two nests that eggs had been laid
by the same she quail? A friend told
me they would do that but 1 never
believed it at ALL We read your
stuff every week and will take your
answer. SAMUEL MARTIN.

Answer-Will answer your query
by quoting from NJ. D. Mowser,
state game and fish warden of
Tennessee, who, in a recent article
tells about pair of quail domiciled
near the State Tubercular Hospital.
EARLY in May the mother-bird laid
a clutch of Is eggs. A day or two
after she had finished her task, it
was noticed that the cock-bird was
setting on the eggs and that the
| hen had built another nest nearby
The mother quail laid another
clutch of 10 eggs, which she incu-
bated. In due time the cock-bird
Matched the first setting and pro-
ceeded to brood the young quail
and care for them until the hen
| came off with her brood. at which
time the families were united and
both coyeys reared together, each
of the parents taking equal interest
in caring for them This l con-
slider a very unusual incident. but
commend this species of quail as
excellent breeders or producers.
! The feathered parents are to be
congratulated upon having Torn
up their Union cards and getting
down to long hours and productive
work.

A FAMOUS OLD CAR

An exhibit of unsual interest at the
recent automobile show in San Fran
cisco was the once famous 1893" rae
ing car, the champion of the world
Ford nearly 20 years ago and the first
car to cover circular track mile in
less than a minute. 80
On the foundation laid by the 1903
and 1904 campaign Of this car both
men rose to fame and fortune. Mr..
Ford founded the Ford Motor Com
pany and became the worlds motor
king. Mr.. Oldfeld became similarly
supreme in the field of motor speed,
and is now also manufacturer, being
President Of the Oldfeld Tire Com
pany, with an annual output worth
many millions.
When the Ford-Oldfeld partner
ship was dissolved, in 1905, the old
speed chariot dlifted TO California
and lay for many years forgotten in
a private garage at Venice. It was dis
covered and BOUGHT by w. L. Hughson,

ESSEX WINS OIL LAND RACE

Defeating scores of other cars, an
Essex won tn right to file the first
notice on section of government
land near Choteau, Montana. The oc-
casion of the race was the recent
signing Of the Oil Leasing Bill by
President Wilson. This threw open q
tract Of government land which was
considered valuable because of its oil
possibilities.
Throughout that section of Montana
great preparations were made to in
wade the tract the instant it was
thrown open to obtain the most yalu-
able locations. Tt was case of first
served, SO a young attorney who
wished to file a claim enlisted the aid
of DR.. H. J. McGregor, an Essex
owner.
When the word came that the bill
had been signed, the race began. The
Essex was the first car to reach the
tract, covering 20 miles Of snow COW
cred roads in 36 minutes, thereby
gaining oil rights which may be
worth q fortune.

TROUBLE ON THE ROAD

According to new dispatch sent
from Harrodsburg, a profitable bust
ness has been developed in Mercer
county by certain farmers on certain
of her pixies, says the Wilmore En-
terprise. They are pulling automo-
biles out of the ruts, when they (the
automobiles) stick fast in the mud
and are earning nearly as much a day
as bricklayer does-which is to say
they (the farmers) are getting more
per day, from the use of a team of
horses and crow bar, than the Gov
ernor of this great State gets for the
use of his head
For Sundays work one man got
fifty dollars. He could have made
more but he thought it was wrong
to work all day on Sunday and quit,
when he had accumulated that much
out of respect for the day and to calm
his conscience. Presumably in church
| that night he put dollar of it in
| the collection box and went to bed
afterWard with the comforting
thought Of day well spent in doing
good to the unfortunate, forty nine
dollars worth.
At another place horse and
| twelve automobiles got stuck in q hole
and had to be pulled out and at yet
another a Coca Cola truck was res
cued before it sunk out Of sight. At

WHERE IS THAT
 B MILLION TONS
 OF EXCESS COAL ?
Miners Produced That Much More Than Last Year for
 This Winter.
WHY THE SHORTAGE?
Something Wrong Somewhere
 According to Governmental Official Figures.

Coal miners cannot be held responsi- ble for any shoetage of coal that may occur, Ellis Searles, editor of the United Mine Workers Journal, said. Everybody is; bowling for coal and everybody seems to be jumping on the miners because there is said to be a coal shortage" MT. Searles said. Newspapers and everybody else are saying that the trouble is with the miners. They say if the miners would work there would be plenty of coal but they will not work. Now, let's see about it. The report of the United States Geological Survey dated Sep tember 4 shows that in 1919 up to August 28 the miners of this country dug 2o7,713,OO0 tons of bituminous coal. In 1920, up to August 2s, they dug 347, ,406.O 900 tons of bituminous coal. bituminous coal in 1920, up to August 28, than they dug in 1919. And yet the people are complaining about a coal sE6 1tage. On all sides we hear people say they have no coal for the winter. What has become of this 50,000,000 tons excess over last year? Where Is 1t? Why is it that the people have no coal There was not much difficulty about the coal supply in 1919 when the production was 50,OOO,0O tons less than the pro- duction this year up to August 28. Then why should there be any trouble about the coal supply this year? The only exception in 1919 was the short time that the coal strike was i'll progress. When one stops to think about the situation he cannot help but feel that there is something wrong in the distri- button of coal. If coal shortage hits the American people this year it will not be the fault of the miners, for they have produced 50,OOO, 900 tons more soft coal than last year.
 "The hard coal miners produced 5000, GOO tons more coal this year than last year.
 TO those who are in the habit of placing all blame on the miners for everything that goes wrong in the coal industry I might call attention to the following statement from the report of the Geological Survey for September 4 ::
 Tn spite of labor disturbances, transportation disability in one form or another, remained the dominant factor limiting production, far outweighing all other causes of loss combined.'
 But in spite of all of the drawbacks, including car shortage, labor shortage and everything else the miners have given the public 50,000,OO0 tons more coal this year than last year. Surely no oe can truthfully say that the miners are responsible for any coal shortage that may occur"

MINERS REFUSED
 WAGE RE-HEARINC
President Tells Anthracite Men He Can Not Yield on Account
 of Breaking Contract.

Washington, Sept 17-President Wilson has refused the request of rep resentatives of the anthracite coal miners to reconvene the joint scale committee of coal owners and miners for the purpose of considering inequa1- ities in the recent award by the anthra- cite coal commission. The President thanked the trade unionists for their declaration in favor of contract observ- ance, but insisted that he "could not yield one iota to the men in the anthra- cite fields who are violating the contract so recently entered into between them selves, the coal operators and the gov ernment of the United States"
 Il appreciate the earnestness of your efforts to get the men to return to work and commend your stand in support of the obligations of your contracts, which all men must honor, but for the reasons stated above, I regret that l. cannot grant your request to reconvene the joint scale committee of the operators and the miners"
 In reply the strikers claim that they are taking vacation" the President said:
 When body of men. collectively re- frain from working by mutual under standing, however arrived at, it is a strike, no matter what name may be given to it.
