THE BRITISH STRIKE.

Great Britain is fully conscious of the fact that it has been having a strike. Not only Is it apparent to the strikers who are said to, have been starved out as the result of refusing to work for a period of three months but to a great many others in the British isles who felt the effects indirectly and 1t will be a long time before the dama ging effects are offset
 Thus there are good reasons why the announcement to the effect that the strike has been ended brings feeling of relief to the people of that country. It will permit of return to different and better conditions. The trouble was pre- cipitated when the government relin- qffshed control of the mines There was a strong demand on the part of the min- CTS that the coal industry be national ized together with large number of other requirements. It was impossible to reach an agreement or a compromise. The miners believed they could win and hoped for the help of other organizations to accomplish their aims. That help failed and now they have agreed to ac- cept what they could have obtained some time since. and they fail to get their many demands even though parliament will in all probability vote the subsidy of ten million pounds as a means of hoping the industry over the period of changing from war time and government control conditions back to conditions more in keeping with those before the war.
 No one can tell how much the strike has cost. The men have. of course lost their wages. inc coal industry has done no business and industry throughout the isles has been seriously affected to the extent that much higher prices have been paid for fuel and factories have been closed. Great numbers who have noth- ing to do with the coal industry have been forced into likeness because fue could not be obtained. One estimate is that the strike has cost Great Britain over. two and a half billion. That rep. resents loss that Is going to be hard to recover but the ending of the strike should bring much relief to many other: than the miners, who get some conces sions but by no means what they sought.

LOOK AFTER THF HORSES.

By no means are there the number of horses that there used to be to get con siderate attention during the seasons of extreme weather. Where the horse was to be found few years ago the auto mobile is employed today. Still the horse is by no means 8 stranger, or so scarce that people stop to gaze as one passes by.
 Nevertheless even if autos have made great strides in supplanting the horse there remain sufficient number of such animals there being over twenty million on farms alone, to warrant the appeals whlch are made at this time of the year to, those who own or have anything to do with horses to zee that they are treated humanely. There are plenty of appeals. They thoroughly recognize the fact that the horse responds In keeping with the treatment he receives and that good and considerate care makes a bet ter animal.
 Because the horse doesn't know his power, because he is subject to human direction does not justify the ,overtsxine of the faithful beast either as to the size of the load or the distance trav eled Neither is it any reason why h. should be treated like . piece of farm machinery that is left to deteriorat' when a little care would prevent it. The horse should be given the bened of shade wherever possible, prope thought should be given to his feed ant 1 his stable. Cleaning the horse shoul' not be neglected while the dangers o watering and washing the horse mus not be disregarded if they are heate and are going to be allowed to stan for any length of time
 Negligence of horse ought not t he tolerated any more than cruelty. H l Is more than a piece of machinery eve though there are some drivers who d not seem to realize 1t. Care during tn hot weather should be increased tn same as is to be expected during tn winter months. The smaller number c horses means less cases where such al
 tention has to be given but while ther
 are any horses they ought to receiv afr treatment and the necessary atter l tion.

It is the most natural thing in the world therefore that there should be a demand that these disabled men, who suffered so much more than others, so many of whom will always bear the disfignra- tions, should be fully provided for It would be the height of injustice to think of compensating the -able-bodied while there are those sick and injured who are
 not getting the care and attention they deserve. The National Disabled Soldiers

PETITION FOR PARDON

To the Governor of the State of
Mississippi and the Board of Par
dOns:
We the undersigned citizens of
Monroe County. Miss. respectfully
ask that you pardon Ben Shaw,
negro boy, now in the state peniten-
tiary, and respectfully show the fol-
lowing facts: That Ben Shaw, young
negro boy from Monroe county, Mis-
sisslppi. was sentenced on March
18th. 1917, at the March term of the
Circuit Court of Monroe county, Mis-
sissippi, to serve a term of ten years
in the penitentiary for the killing of
another negro. Nathan Henderson.
The jury found him guilty of man
slaughter, and from what we know
of the facts in the case, we think he
has been sufficiently punished. Since
he has been at the penitentiary, or
farm, he has made a model prisoner,
and has been a trusty for a long
while: He has an aged and intirm
mother. who is now solely dependent
upon this negro boy for her support;
as she ia too old and infirm 70 work
she will become a public charge IN
less this boy is pardOned.
Respectfully submitted.

END OF LIFE ON EARTH.

Atmospheric changes of compost
ton, not to mention cooling Of the
sun, are suggested by w. Flinders
Petrie, F. R. s., as likely to make
all life impossible after the next few
hundred thousand years. Assuming
the earth to have been once red-hot,
all lime and soda must have been
combined with the silica now exist
ing as sandstone, and all carbonic
and hydrochloric acids at present
locked up in limestone and salt
must have been gases in the at
mosphere. Cooling has brought the
gradual decomposition of the sill
Gates by the acids. Only a minute
part of the carbonic acid once pres
ent in the atmosphere is now left
and this will be exhausted by the
decomposition of few inches more
of silicates. Then plant life, and
after it animal life, must cease.
