 This is at the rate of 26T, 900 tons per week. The Thursday record was better than those of the three preceding days, but the average for the four days of this week has been, according to these figures of car movements, A,000 tons per day. This is at the rate of 264,OoO tons per week.
 The figures of production during the first week of the general strike call have been forwarded to the government The official total of reporting mines is A, ,ss tons, compared with 253,ooo tons during the week just preceding the general strike call. Both these figures are official and do not include any estimates of mines that failed to report production. They show decrease in production following the general strike call of less than per cent.
 LARGER PRODUCTION
 The figures relating to movements of carloads from the mines this week indi- cate larger production than during the first week of the general strike call.
 Marvel, one of the mines that resumed operations recently, has been producing more than 200 tons per diem steadily.
 Piper mines has a large force of men re-

 Balancing the production that has maintained in spite of the strike, it is evident that, but for the the fear that many miners entertain of the striking ele- ment and their sympathlzers, there would be a much larger coal production Re ports of intimidation, in some cases amounting to terrorism, have corr- rom 1 mi 6ald i1,f ha t1ac cf feW Ia and there was more of this daily as the week advanced.

The stretch of country across
which the present lava streams are
moving is mass of under-the-sur-

old flows, mostly in the great erup-

rivers, running through these and
entering sealed caverns, are continu-
ally blowing up the cavern roofs
with loud explosions and showers Of
red hot rock, which make detailed
examination hazardous.
The scene by night is described as
one never to be forgotten. Great
crevasses, small cracks and the living

in the flows, add their lurid glare

rankest growth of rye. The half of
plat A, which had received sulphate
of ammonia, following nitrate of soda
in 1918, stood second. and the half
receiving nitrate of soda continuous
ly stood third. Plat 5, receiving a
complete fertilizer, was fourth in
yield of green rye, though was far
behind the plats above mentioned.
Plats and 8, receiving acid phos-
phate and suphate OF potash alone,
respectively, produced a growth of
rye very little better than plat 6, the
check plae, which received no ferti-
lizer at all.
The important point in this work
to be emphasized is that quickly avail
able heterogeneous fertilizers, such as
nitrate of soda and sulphate of am
monia, are not leached out of the soil
as quickly as some investigators have
thought. From this work we would
expect liberal applications of such
fertilizers to be effective to some ex-
tent for at least two crops following
the one receiving the application.

Residual Effects of Fertilizer.

Some fertilizer experiments with
sweet potatoes were begun at the
Georgia experiment station in 1908.
Six plats of Cecil Clay soil were
planted to sweet potatoes and fertil-
lied in the same way, excepting one
plat, through the year 1919.
The following was the plan for
fertilizing the plats each year dur
ing the tests:
Plat /, stable manure alone.
Plat 2, acid phosphate alone.
Plat 3, sulphate of potash alone.
Plat 4, nitrate of soda alone, until
1919.
Plat 5, complete mixture.
Plat 6, check-no fertilizer.
In 1919 plat a, which had receiv-
ed nitrate of soda alone since 1908.
was divided and one-half receN d
sulphate of ammonia-nitrogen
equivalent to the nitrate CT soda on
the other half of the plat.
AS soon as the potatoes were har-
vested in 1919 the land was sown
broadcast to rye. No fertilizer was
applied to the rye, but when the cover
crop was turned under April 18th,
1920, there was a very marked diff
ference between the growth of rye

SOME OF THE MANY QUEER
FREAKS OF LIGHTNING
Girl Whose Clothing Was Torn Off
Experienced But Slight Shock.

Killed by lightning while standing
under tree during a storm, it was
found on medical examination that
the victims body was marked with
the imprint of the tree. Such a freak
is not uncommon. The markings on
the skin are reddish brown in color,
and resemble Photographic imprints
of trees or shrubs. Lightning, how
ever, plays many strange tricks. A
girl was once crossing a meadow dur
ing a thunderstorm when she was
struck by lightning. Although every
shred of clothing was torn from her,
she herself experienced slight giddi-
ness. In another extraordinary case
a man was killed by lightning while
riding horse through a storm, but
the animal was untouched and I'M
alarmed, and carried his dead master
home at a gentle trot.

AN EDITOR GAINED

For more than 40 years Col. E. A.
Rogers has been connected with the
Prescott Courier, first as printer
associated with John Marion, later to
be reditor and owner. Throughout he
has been steadfast in his political
faith. He always referred to towns
man as "a good man and a Demo-
crat." So these were the words that
were inscribed upon a gold-headed
cane proffered with ceremony at a
dinner at the Yavapai club Monday
last, following presentation at the
Courier office of gold watch.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers were on the
eve of leaving for Hollywood, Calf,
where they had acquired home in
which they expect to spend their de-
clining years. He sold the Courier
last January, but till this month had
remained as editor. He arrived in
Prescott in 1879, punching burro
from Leadville, Colo. In addition to
his work as printer, he was the city's
first ice man, storing natural ice he
later said for or 4 cents pound

ADVANTAGES

Her husband had lost his money,
and she was lamenting the fact that
now her daughters must go without
the advantages she had hoped to give
them.
That meant an education in a pri-
.a.e school, European travel, and
other things of the sort which COM
mon people cannot have
For what is an advantage" il any
body can have it?
And then the second woman spoke
up.
I'VE also lost our money, but il
brought advantages to me- I do my
own work and I know the cost in
labor of every little dainty and every
elegance. At my own back door
which I never used to go near, I talk
to all sorts and conditions of men
and | know their point Of view. ]
have learned more at my door about
foreigners and their ways than
learned through months of travel
abroad.
AS for my daughters, they have
discovered that decent clothes and
three syquare meals day are no
small blessing; they know how to do
useful things: they do not imagine
that there is something peculiarly
respectable about idleness; if they
ever marry they will not demand i'm
possibilities from their husbands !:
and they will not think life failure
If it does not bring them something
which others cannot have as we'll.
IF the special opportunities you
speak of happen to come their way,
so much the better. But if they can't
make life worth living without some
kind Of advantage over others, then
they are inferior to the common
working people that can.-Tomb-

SCHOOL DAYS GONE BY

School days are with us again, and
some Of us will be looking back over
the days of childhood and recounting
the precious hous that were filtered
away.
Young people are seldom able to
penetrate the veil of the future and
realize the imperative need of an ed
ucation.
But the need Is there and Is becom-
ing more insistent as time goes on
and civilization progresses.
In the olden days the educated
class were few in number Today
they are almost universal. Tomorrow
who knows what the requirements
will be?
There is a training school for every
profession, for almost every trade
and even the tiller of the soil has his
colleges and universities for the dis
semination of knowledge necessary
to wide and more diversified field OF
agricultural activity.
With our children back in the class
rooms again, it would be we'll for us
of mature years to enlarge our inter-
est in their welfare.
We should extend to the teacher a
full measure of encouragement and
support, and thereby add ii the zest
of their labors.
Our duty does not end with start
ing the child to school in the morn
ing. That is only the beginning.
An active and daily interest in its
progress will lend encouragement to
its efforts and spur it on to greater
success.
PARENTAL commendation is sweet
to every child.
Indifference is the father of neg
