OVERWORkED AND OVERFLOW.
 ING ASHPtT

Of all ugly sights in a yard the overworked ashpit is the worst. It has pyramid of ashes, tin cans, wire, old rags and paper, rising above it and overflowing on the sides. Such sight is a disgrace to any home. It is a badge of slovenliness that cannot be argued down. No housewife, or househusband for that matter, can feel proud of such sight or justify it to critical neigh bors. It is an eyesore to the whole block It makes no difference if it is in the back yard and can not be seen from the front. The neighbors see it if strangers do not. Any person viewing the neighborhood critically, perhaps with a view of buying some home that may be for sale, is certain to be unfavorably inn pressed by it.
 How is this to be remedied? If the owner has so little sense of neat ness or his duty to his neighbors as to let it overflow, he can be brought into line this week when the Cleanup and Paint-up Campaign is on. Now is the time when neighbors feel that they can speak to him about it. If he once gets the cleanup spirit and the idea of neighborhood cooperation into his mind he will get that ashpit regularly emptied ever afterward. That is one of the greatest features of the campaign; it gets people to thinking in the right terms about their own premises and surroundings and they want to keep things clean and attractive all the time. That campaign is death to the overflowing ashpit.

BRITISH MINERS
STICK

London, England.-By a vote of
432,511 to 193,827 striking coal miners
have refused to return to work on
plans suggested by the government
and coal owners.
The miners are putting up one of
the most heroic struggles in the in
dustrial history of this country.
Their determination to stick, in the
face of actual want, is shown by
vote that surprised even themselves.
The miners are demanding that pres
ent inequalities in the coal industry
be ended and that living wage be
guaranteed This can be accomplish
ed, they say, by placing a small as
sessment on every ton of coal mined.
This money will be used in districts
where the cost of mining is high, and
will be distributed by committee on
which coal owners and miners are
represented.
The coal owners declare the plan
is more offensive to them than gov
ernment ownership.

PARAGON OIL
COMPANY
Opens a Branch Office Here

A branch office of the Paragon Oil
Company has been opened at 81 High
street with F. w Whitney, formerly
Of Hamilton, in charge. The office
has been opened for the accommoda-
tion of local investors. The officials
of the Company include Edward H.
Nein, John Nein, Senator Roddiee and
E. A. Gatlin, of Ada, Oklahoma.
The company has very choice 40
acre tract in the Manning survey, be-
tween the Brazos river and the Barnes
Company well I'M block A, located
three miles east of South Bend, Texas.

from what could be seen among them
all conducted themselves in respect
able manner. There were also quite
few young ladies and boys who
were having good time in the creek.
Nothing was seen disrespectful among
them, and at no time were any of
them seen dressing and undressing in
the open.
1t is said that the old-timers in
that locality have witnessed many
sights along the creek and that the
actions of some of the bathers was
simply awful. The nearest farm house
to Four Mile creek and Cotton Run
creek is a quarter of mile, and no
farmer and his family could see the
bathers unless they came to the
creek
We don't think that the farmers
along Four Mile creek really mean
to stop the bathers from going into
the creek There is something back
of the move, and the farmer is using
the excuse that the bathers are con-
Quoting themselves in disrespectful
manner. Perhaps if the ice cream
and soft drink merchants would pull
up stakes and give the farmer

MARTIAL LAW
Of Governor Upset BY Su-
preme Court

Charleston, w Va.-The state su-
preme court has upset Governor Nor
gan's martial law in Mingo county.
The court refused to say whether
martial law was proclaimed wisely or
unwisely and acknowledged that the
governor has the power and authority
to substitute military rule for civil
rule.
''We hold that military occupation
of any territory is incident to state
of war and martial law is incident
to military occupation" said the
court.
eve don't think that it would be
advisable to set aside martial law
under the conditions 1t ought to be
limited to meet the conditions In
order to maintain military rule, the
state must organize military force
Then, if the conditions warrant it,
there should be martial law.
But under the circumstances the
rules and orders made by the gov
ernor are not enforceable"
The court, in effect, ruled that if
the governor wants martial law in
Mingo county it should be enforced
with properly organized military
force, and not by private armies.

TEACHERS WIN
Suit From "Gatling Gum
superintendent

Fresno, Cal.-Three public school
teachers in this city have won their
libel suit against Jrome o. Cross,
who was recently ousted from the
office of superintendent of schools.
Last year Cross dismissed the
teachers for professional incapacity."
The real cause was their membership
in the Teachers Union. They based
their libel claim on the ground that
the records show they are competent
teachers and Cross statement amount
ed to libel, as it tended to injure them
in the pursuit of their calling. Or
ganized labor in this state came to
the aid of the injured teachers and
generously furnished funds for the
law suit. After the jury rendered a
verdict in favor of the first teacher,
Cross ceded the cases of the other
two.
The superintendent recently secur-
ed notoriety by his statement that the
way to handle organized teachers was
with gatling gun or base ball bat.

FARMERS ORGANIZE
To Stop Bathers in Four
Mile Crek

Some of the ever progressive farm
ers of st. Clair township met last
Monday night in Squire Bolser's new
court house on the Seven Mile pix.
| From newspaper reports the meeting
was called for the purpose of seeking
the assistaice of the Squire and his
constable to stop the city bathers
from going into the creek bathing.
During the past two months thou
sands of Hamiltonians have motored
up to the Four Mile creek for the pur-
pose of cheating the hot weather by
going in bathing. When the stores
close on Wednesday afternoon, hun
dreds of clerks find Four Mile creek
an ideal place to go in bathing, while
on Sundays thousands of people, most
ly families with small children, find
the creek great sport for themselves
and the kids
The creek is lined with merry bath
ers who are clothed in bathing suits
of every fashionable color The place
on Sunday afternoon is wonderful
sight, and many people just go up to
see the others in the water. The bath
ing has reached such proportions that
several thrifty persons have pitched
tents along the road from which they
sell ice cream cones, soft drinks,
sandwiches and candy to the bathers.
1t is said that these dealers realize
quite little sum from their wares
on the days that the bathers are plen-
tiful.
From personal visit to -Four
Mile creek on a Sunday the writer,
like many others, watched the bath
ers in the water. The bathers are
made of up little children from four
years to their mothers and fathers
forty-fve years old. All of the
bathefs had on bathing suits, even
the little tots wore bathing suits we
suppose for the express purpose of
pleasing the lgoggle-eyed St. Clair

youthful vim, vgor and vitality, to a ripe old
age, you must supply the deficiency of Phos-
pilates lacking in your food by using Argo
Phosphate, the form of Phosphates most easily
assimiated
NOTICE: Argo- Phosphate which is
mended and prescribed by physicians in all
anemic cases, is not secret or patent medi-
cine. but that is sold and recommended by
well known druggists everywhere, and physi-
clans daily prescribing the constituents
contained in it. Being entirely unlike many
other Phosphates. it is easily assimilated and
will be found effective in the treatment of in,
digestion and stomach troubles, well as for
care worn nervous conditions. The manufact-
urers of Argo- Phosphate will forfeit to any
charitable institution $4,000 if they cannot
treat any under 65 who lacks
Phosphates, and increase their strength and
endurance from 100 per cent. to 800 per cent,
in months time, if they free
from organic trouble. 1t is dispensed by all
reliable druggists.

other monopolies have the exclusive

all of the offices in the New York
state building material dealers as
sociation, composed of 400 concerns
which circulate price lists through

1t was found that the foreman of
the June grand jury is one of the deal
ers slated for investigation. He has
monopoly of the sale of face brick,
which he buys from manufacturers
for $47.50 thousand and resells for
$500.
A copper-riveted, rock-bound sand
and gravel combine has eliminated
competion within 100 miles of this
city. The brick combine reduced the
output of its plants and refused to
ship brick to New York city on the
ground that it chad no material to

the brick companies acknowledged
