COAL.

According to news dispatch of
the Goth inst, from Chattanooga,
Tenn, coal prices fell 50 ton Sat
urday in that city. Prices were as
high as $11 ton, the dispatch says,
but some grades are not selling for
81 ton. Commenting on the item
the Cape Girardeau Southeast Mis-
sourian says: prices of coal are
gradually declining in the Cape, and
that coal dealer was soliciting or
ders Saturday for good grade of
Kentucky coal at $40 a ton" Con-
tinuing, the Missourian says: Deal
ers say the continued warm weather
is having its effect. Coal is being
mined in great quantities and the
railroads are improving delivery SER
vice right along. This combination
has had the effect of creating sur
plus of coal and consequently prices
are tumbling. 1t is predicted that
prices will get down to Sc a ton, or
even less, within the next few weeks
IL the weather continues mild"
Wonder if the Kennett dealers have
heard of this slide downward in
price? The cheapest grade one con-
Germ had Wednesday was $40 per
ton delivered News.

Blytheville Council Forbids Street
Selling. |

BLYTHEvILLE, Ark, Nov. 26.---
No more will the raucous shouts of
pink pills for pale people and get
'em boys while they're hot resound
through the city's busy thorough
fares Never again will crowds
stand agape at the marvellous spec
! tacle of half man and half alligator.
The day of the street faker in
Blytheville has reached sunset with
the city dads in special called meet
ing today as ushers in of the twi-
light. 1t took hasty action to keep
the city from complete surrender to
these gentry of the great outdoors.
In every alley way, on every vacant
lot and thronging the downtown
business streets the leather lunged
locusts had spread to fatten on the
plentiful cotton money pouring into
Blytheville. They sold everything
under the sun from oil stocks to
Texas farm lands and from shoe
strings to mules. But it's over now.
II the horny handed sons of toll
want to spend their money in riot
GUS living they can buy some Of
this 14O proof for the people swamp
nectar for which the empire county
is Justly famous. No California boom
city of 40 has anything on Blythe
willie. The money is here and the
city council means that it shall stay
here and that no fly-by-night deal
ers shall reap golden harvest at
the expense of substantial local mer-
chants. Under the new ordinance
passed today no licenses or permits
will be issued to the unwelcome Wis
itors and prompt and effective meas
ures will be taken to see they stay
out.
The same condition has prevailed
at Hayti and the same remedy
should be applied, and we. under
stand the city authorities are taking
steps to that end. And while about
it the alleged "street fairs" should
be barred. If there ever was de-
moralizing fake it is the so-called
street fairs" that swoop down up
on the community in the money sea-
son, and relieve the people of their
hard-earned coin.
1t ought to be stopped.

LYcEUM NUMBER.

The people of Hayti who heard
School auditorium on Nov. 8 realize
that they had rare treat They
were stirred and entertained by Il
man SO gifted that his like is rarely
heard in town of this size. That
one evenings entertainment was
we'll worth the price of a whole sea-
son ticket.
White and Meyers Lyceum Bureau
are this year celebrating fifty years
of success. They are letting us
share in the celebration by sending
out such excellent talent-attrac-
tions which we could not otherwise
get at the price we pay.
The next Lyceum number comes
on Tuesday evening, Dec. 5. At
that time We will have the Petty
john Concert Party, company Of
finished artists in program of in
strumental ensemble, varied by cos
TUNED readings and ballads.
Miss Frances Pettyjohn is the
pianist and reader of the party.
She is we'll known to Lyceum and
Chautauqua audiences through her
association with the Gypsy Sere-
| naders.
Miss Frances Quackenbush is the
elloist. Mics Quackenbush has had
all the training in America. and has
concertized extensively. She plays
her beautiful cello because she loves
| it; she has warm sympathetic
tone and her experience makes her
invaluable in ensemble.
Miss Mary Raleigh, the violinist,
is an Irish girl with an English name
although American born. Nearly all
her training and concertizing ex-
perience has been in the East. Up
on very valuable old violin she
prefers to play the "tunes that reach
the heart" though her repertoire
embraces all the standard concert
numbers.
Are you going to the party?

MISSOURI'S DEATH RATE
1913, CALIFORNIA; 12.1
Figures in Census Bureau Report
Are Based on Number of Deaths
to 1000 Population.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-That
Missouri is a more healthful State
than California and st. Louis more
healthful city than San Francisco
and Los Angeles is indicated by a
report issued today to the Census
Bureau showing death rates for
1921.
Both a crude" death rate and
an adjusted" rate for various areas
which takes into account factors
such as occupttions of the inhabi-
tants and the Sex and age distribu-
ton, is said by the bureau to give a
fairer idea of the healthfulness of a
locality.
The crude" rate for Missouri in
1921 was 10.S deaths to each 1000
population and the adjusted" rate
was 1913. In each case there was a
decrease from 1920. The compara-
tive figures for California were re-
spectively 1872 and 12.1. Montana
had the lowest adjusted rate, S.S,
and Maryland the highest, 1874
For St. Louis the 1921 Crude
rate was 1872 and the adjusted
rate 1877, which compares with 1871
in Los Angeles and 1874 in San Fran
cisco. The corresponding rate in
Kansas City was 14.4. OF all the
cities above 100000 in population.
Akron had the lowest rate, 90, and
Memphis the highest, 10.
The bureau deduces from it's fig
ures that 1921 was remarkably
healthful year, nearly all the areas
showing record low death rates
st. Louis adjusted" rate dropped
two points from that of 1920, while
the "crude" rate diminished 10.

friends and attending to business
matters, and said he was we'll

TROOPS ON STRIKE DUTY
COST STATE $242, 1873

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, Nov. 27.
The approximate cost of maintain
ing troops at the strike centers in
the State during the railroad shop
crafts strike was announced as
$242,379.S9 up to date. This will
be augmented considerably Adjt.
Gen. w. A. Raupp said, when the
troops are transported home the
first of December.
Gov. Hyde today requested Gen.
Raupp to order the rehabilitation OF
the troops at Moberly and Franklin,
Mo-, the only strike centers where
troops remain. The order was sent
out this afternoon.
The Missouri herald., 1922-12-01

And what good did it all do? The
governors of Tennessee and other
States refused to call out their troops
under exactly the same conditions
that existed in Missouri, yet got
along as well or better than we did,
So Hyde took just this much hide off
the State when there was no earthly
use of 1t. Local authorities were at
all times able to cope with the situa-
tion.

WHAT is SENTIMENT?

There Is q widespread Misunderstanding con-
cerning the meaning of the term sentiment.
Recently. In various quarters. there appears to
have been a revival OF respect for sentiment.
People have Just discovered that sentiment oc-
cuples a very large place In life, that It is "A
good thing to respond to It and nourish 1t in
all things. Hence folks In general seem to have
all OF a sudden become wet nurses to sentiment.
A hurried look into affairs of this kind
arouses tho suspicion that most of these folk are
merely nursing prejudice instead OF sentiment.
Now prejudice isn't sentiment at all; 1t can't
begin TO qualify; It is. in fact. the precise OPP
posite OF sentiment.
Sentiment is something good to look upon,
ennoblng to those who yield TO Its tender and
elevating ministrations. inevitably makes life
brighter. does good TO all and sundry, and under
no circumstances does harm Prejudice Is
biightlng and degrading to those who yield to
It. It inflicts untold injustice upon mankind in
general and darkens life as nothing else.
Look your child over carefully, and SEQ II
It Is sentiment or merely prejudice masquerad-
ing in the clothes Of sentiment.
