Sir
The story published in the Jan. 10,
issue of your paper regarding the
Jespersen Newsprint Corporation was
not only entirely incorrect but was
of such a nature as to jeopardize an
industry which it would seem should
have your loyal support and to cause
a financial loss-and loss of employ
ment to many of your fellow towns
men while its i'll effects will last for
years to come.
No claims have been filed against
the company nor any suit started, on
the contrary "a most unusual spirit
of good will and cooperation has
shown by all whom we owe.
The company has ample assets to
pay every dollar it owes by n safe
margin. The disasterous fire of last
fall unfortunately placed the company
in a position where il could not
promptly realize on its assets and an
extension of time to meet its obliga-
ton was necessary if they We're to
be paid in full. This company elected
to do although they might easily have
wiped out everybody by following a
strictly business policy.
This attitude has been appreciated
and such an exceptional spirit of
friendliress shown as not only to
make me very proud but very CRATE,
full and am glad to say so publicly.

CHARGE THAT MINES

United Mine Workers OF America,

ment filed with the Federal Coal
Commission. One year ago producers
Of West Virginia "smokeless" types
Of lump coal were selling at prices
ranging from 1915 to $3.50 q ton, tho
statement made public today said.
while buyers In cities like Chicago.
Columbus and Cincinnati during the
last week Of February OF the present
year were paying from $3.50 to $3.50
per ton.
A proportionate increase was said
to be noted In the current prices of
screenings and mine-run coal, which
normally sell at less than the lump
product.
"There has been no increase in cost
Of production during the year." the
union statement commented upon the
quotations 1t gave, "and the COM
panies are not paying their miners
any higher wages now than they
paid a year ago. 1t is merely case
OF piling up additional profits. Coal
prices at the mines have been boosted
in other sections of the country also,
but the increases do not even ap-
proach the robber figures on West

Uses for New Antiseptc
There are so many uses for the new antiseptic--
it's possibilities enorous-that space does not
permit full discussion of them here. From colds
and sore threats, diphtheria and pneumonia most
human ailments rise from the lodgnent and propa-
cation Of germs in the throat and nasal passages.
At these points in the human anatomy the bacteria
of contagious diseases make their initial entrance
and attack. The knowledge of this was of small
value in the past, because the known antiseptics
powerful enough to destroy the invader would de-
stroy the membrane WELL Zonites at proper
diutions may be used with inapunity in the nose
and throat of a child as well adult.
Another important fact in connection with the
dents It is no longer necessary to risk the horrible
catastrophe which bichoride tablets, carboc acid,
etc. may bring upon household 1t will be folly
to keep such deadly compounds In the family edl-
cine chest when a effective and non-Poisonous
