Scotch

Lord Dewar, distilier OF the

scarce now, and so few In the busi-
ness. that the majority ARE ration

who, in many cases, only get about
so per cent. of what they order.
With genuine Scotch whiskey go
scarce in the British Isles. boot
ieggers' customers car understand
why counterfeit Scotch labels are
frequently found by the hundreds OF
thousands in raids by federal rum
sleuths.
In France 1t now costs $50 francs
to buy, on the average, the same
commodities that sold for o
francs before the war.
With cost OF living nearly lour
times as high as 1t used to be ncr-

to understand how any FrenchmAn

@. Is it rue that more plants
die from improper watering than
from any other single cause ?-F. X.
A. A report recently issued by
the Purdue University Agricultural
Experiment Station says that this IS
true. II recommends the following:
Water thoroughly and then allow the
soil Il dry out until 1t Is only wen
moistened (just before it crumbles
and cracks), before watering again;
Water your plants when they need

humidity of the air In the room,
and the size and vigor Of the plant.
Each pot will require its own parti-
cular amount of water. Never al
low plants in jardinieres and bowls
to stand IN water for any length OF
time. In addition to the regular
watering, plants will re<pond to fre-
quent cleaning. Put them in the
bathtub, kitchen sink. or cellar dur-
ing the winter, or out of doors
ing the summer, and wash on the
leaves. Large leaved plants like
rubber plants and palms may be
rubbed with water and a sponge or
soft rag. This removes the dirt and
grease which clogs the breathing

RURAL THIEVERY

81 A cartoon published in a daily paper shows a kindly
old man standing in the midst of his melon patch looking at
the broken melons and empty vines around him. Underneath
the picture is this legend: "Pa says he don't mind the
melons, but he is sorry to see folks steal"
1t is a fair hit. Too many persons riding out into the
country consider it a golden opportunity to pilfer the farm
ers tempting produce, speeding away without pay OF thanks
to the man whose property they have lifted and of whose
arduous labor they have taken mean advantage.
Th queer part of it is that this sort of petty theft is not
confined to the criminal classes whose members may be joy
riding in the pleasant countryside. 1t is a common practice
among some persons who in their town relations are ordi-
narily honest and who would be highly indignant to have
even a simple farmer class them as thieves.
To these people their raiding is a joke. They figure
that the farmer can well afford to spare from his abundance.
Perhaps he can, but their performance is stealing just as
truly as if they had held the farmer up and robbed him of
the money in his pockets.

LYNCH, KY, Oct. 3.-The lot of
the coal miner may he learned by
seeing him at work and seeing how
he lives. by seeing his home and
his wife and children. Reading
about what he earns is not Alto
gether enlightening.
In a typical Kentucky coa mine
thu miner earns his bread, and
everything that goes with it. Yet
he enjoys a sense of freedom. He
may go where he likes and be as
sured of good wages, and the labor
turnover in kentucky mines, large
and small, large ones especially,
shows that he does go when he
likes. And he likes often to go.
| Why. so, inasmuch as he does not
same reason that a domestic serv-
ant, weary of washing another
lwoman's dishes, moves or to a job
nc better in a vain attempt to get
away from dull routine.
1t is necessary for a tall man to
bend almost double in the tunnels
which lead to the rooms in which
the miners work. The tunnels are
i'll darkness and it is necessary to
ba careful not to touch an electric
wire overhead which runs the mine
trolley cars. Miners get used to
the STOPPING position and grow con-
temptuous of the live wire. One
strong man grew finally TO believe
the wire would not hurt him aud
in a spirit of bravado took hold ef
it. The wire did not say him, bus
left him alive as if to teach him
a lesson. 1t visited upon him for
life the grim jest of an unseen Titan.
AJnanct fahu1nIIa SfnrinS are told
of the possible, and occasionally
actual earnings of miners wnen coal
is high. but the average earnings
of a miner may be learned, if any
where, from the ledg ers of a min
ing corporation. The company en-
ployes don't tell. The miners don't
know, apparently.
A man who does hard manual
labor in an isolated room opening
upon a tunnel which runs a half
mile to daylight on a mountatnside
ought to be well paid. A man
whose hair does not Stand on end
when he removes coal which has
been left in the form of pillars, till
the vein has been robbed. and sees
the mountain settle in front OF him
and close the opening that has been
made, has the admiration of any
one.
Few desire to witness that fea-
ture of mining. Occasionally an
error of Judgment in that work,
or an error as to the stability of a
slab of slate in the roof of The room,
results in a three line raDort in the
press that a miner was killed, and
leaves a widow and numerous chill
dren weeping in a cottage in a coal
camp.
Hazards of Mining

sional fatalities, but the statistics of

other street.
At Himlerville. upon Tug River
in Martin county, across the stream
from Kermit, West Virginia, there
is a settlement of miners which at
tracts considerable attention be-
cause it represents the first expert
ment in cooperative mining.
The Himlerville operation 10 a
small n compared with those in
West Virginia, across Tug River. or
in Kentucky. 1t is a project OF
Martin Himler, well known In Eu-
lrope as a Hungarian journalist and
: welfare worker for his follow Hun
fgarians here and elsewhere. Mr..
Himler, the owner and publisher of
Magyar Banzlap', a New York
newspaper, conceived the idea OF a
coal mine worked by wage earners
who would own the mine Jointly
participate in the dividends and own
their own homes. Himlerville Is a
Hungarian community OF several
hundred, set down in the hills in
which the Hatfields and McCoys
fought their bloody feuds, and
across a tiny river from the state
in which the fight between miners
and operators has attracted nation
al attention.
Himlerville may be the means OF
providing an illustration of the Pcs
sibilities of the cooperative idea
applied to mining, but it is not at
all likely that its success would AZ

ators because large operations de-
mandN large capital. 1t seems prob
able that there will be within the
next twenty years fewer examples,
like Stearns. of home ownership by
miners, and more model camps like
Lynch where the company owns
everything.
Mining coal is at best hard labor.
Nothing could make it attractive to
some men. but an adage of the min
ing country is 'once a miner al
ways a miner" The exception to
the rule is the native Kentucky
m~outaineer who. not infreqaently,
gives up comparative wealth to re-
turn to his log cabin and the indo-
lent life Of the hills.
