A COAL MINING CAREER

Did YOU ever think of cOal-mining
your way to wealth and happiness! l
did once. l was taken whizzing into
long West Virginia mine head on an
electric car. l saw little sticks of dy-
Mantle loosen whole wall of black
diamonds, watched great undercut-
ting saw rip the wall loose at the bot
tom and send it tumbling down al
most into the shovel of the miner.
Somehow it was the power thus re-
leased with so little effort, not the
fearsomeness of being a mile under
ground, that l carried away with me.
But our state laws have definite
ideas against women as mine workers.
So the only chance is to make good as
an owner. And Leila b. Gum of Mid
dlesboro, KY, has done just that. Not
because she wanted spectacular ca
reer Far from it. 1t is because her
husband needed help to acquire full
ownership of a good mine that Mrs.
Gum Is now president of the Lower
Ignite Mining company. He had mar
ried without capital or expectation of
the Inheritance that so often deter
mines ownership of the great under
ground wealth. So the two of them
buckled down to long systematic
struggle that lasted more than twelve
years.
Meanwhile there were children. The
three Of them have all graduated at
high school. each with the highest
standing in the class, thus setting a
record for the Gum family.
And there's the home itself. Mrs.
Gum planned the inside of the resi-
dence, and won newspaper prize for
Its arrangement.
Then there's the world about them.
Physically, it's wonderful. I'VE sit on
our porch" reports Mrs. Gum, and
look out on q million dollar sunset
scenery such as city people travel hun
dreds of miles to see. We have one
Of the purest water supplies that can
be had anywhere"
But mentally and em0tiOnallyf Wen,
l asked Mrs. Gum about that. I've
won a college education for my chill
dren," she answered hrst. Then she
went on, II do not come In contact
with an unassimilated foreign popu-
lation, and my children's friends are
pure-bred Americans. I've many de-
sirable friends. have q good deal of
influence over the Middlesboro schools.
I'm a member of the Democratic state
committee. And I've been asked to do
a good deal of newspaper writing on
home economics and politics. Besides,
the human animal has been used to
outdoor life and to family life through
hundreds of generations. City life is
antagonistic to the entire history Of
the race"

GOOD DUCK HUNTING
Bloomington Record)


There have been an unusual num-
her of wild ducks along the MISSISSIPPI
pi river near Bagley during the past
week, and Friday was the best duck
hunting day seen in this vicinity for
several years. Ora Hatch, Foster
Porter, Linn Woodhouse, Ora Brodt,
James Sprague and A. G. Bishop were
the members of q party that got 70
fine mallards south of Bagley Friday
and had all been experienced hunters
the party should have gotten as many
more. But all had enough for a good
wild duck dinner, which in these days
of game scarcity any hunter should
be satisfied with anyway. We hear OF
a number of other good bags over THIS
vicinity, one of which was made by
Leonard Kalt, who shot five mallards
on Rattlesnake creek near his home
southwest of town; and of a farmer IN
the eastern part of Little Grant who
saw flock of wild geese light near
his house and was able to shoot one
of them. But the most unlucky hunt
ers we have heard of were VIM. F'orck
and Myron Myers of North Andover,
who were standing on the bank of the
Plondke lake south of Bagley one
morning last week, loaded down with
guns and fishing tackle, when three
wild geese flew lazily past them at a
very close range. Their guns were I'M
loaded, however, and they could not
get them loaded in time for shot.
