U. S. PROBES BLAST
AT DETROIT PoSToEElcE

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. Nov. IA.
Detroit police were asked today
to cooperate with Federal officials
investigating the explosion at the
postoffice here Wednesday night, in
which three persons were killed.
Investigators believe now that the
premature defamation of a bomb
mailed from Detroit, caused the
blast.
Samuel Baucina, confectioner Of
1856 wealthy street, told police last
night that he received a letter
Monday threatening him with death
unless he complied, with demand
for $1,000. The letter was post
marked Detroit. He did not heed
the demand.

DIES MONIES. Iowa, Nov. A.
Iowa coal miners have Joined
forces with mine owners in a
campaign to keep home fires burn
ing this winter with home.mined
coal. Incidentally, the men who
do the actual labor of production
not only hope to extend the mar
ket for Iowa coal, but to take
mine labor out of the seasonal
occupation" class in the Hawkeye
State. And they're willing to put
up part Of their hard-earned wages
to turn the trick.
They are splitting campaign ex.
pensdS fifty.fifty with the mine
Coal Is Soft.
All Of Iowa's coal 10 soft"
Neighboring States, producers Of
semianthracite and other hard
fuels, have used this fact in their
effor6J to compete with the Iowa
product, advertising their coal as
''clean and sootless."
Whats SCOT compared with dol
lars?" ask the Iowa miners and
operators, sending out an army Of
poster men to stick their slogan
shield Of every automobile whose
owner isn't looking.
The miner-owner combination is
carrying on extensive newspaper
advertising--spl fifty-fifty on
the costs-educating coal users on
heat units, freight rates and other
things that enter into the competi-
ton between Iowa coal and "for-
eign products"
Campaign Successful.
With the fall coal-buying season
fairly started, both miners and
operators declare the campaign q
success. Mines Of this district are
working full time, and operators
say the demand for Iowa coal is
approximately SO per cent heavier
than at the same season for the
past four years.

Il knew that, but I had never thought OF

will give when plausible statement is put
before them regardless of whether or not
they really have heard it thought it out
for themselves Among the many things it
goes TO prove is the psychological fact that
men are at heart progressive and. likewise,
that many lack the energy, the initiative and
the vision to be actual pioneers but are pre-
fectlv able OF comprehendng and following
when some one else sees and shows the way.
One OF the first lessons, if not the very
first that man 1earned-back before he be-
came a man-was that in numbers there was
safety. Many of the words and visions we
have today had their genesis in this stage Of
development This lesson-to work together
has, through various vcissitudes brought
mankind to its present eminence in the things
OF the world.

From the Jackson Herald.
A lady received the following reply from
neighbor in answer to a question to
why she allowed her children and her hus-
band to litter up every room in the house:
The marks OF little muddy feet upon the
floor can be more easily removed than the
stains where the little feet go into the high
ways of sin. The prints OF the little fingers
upon the window panes cannot shut out the
sunshine half so much as the shadow that
darkens the mothers heart over the one
who will be but a name in the coming years.
And if my John finds greatest refuge from
care and worry and his greatest happiness
within its four walls he can put his boots

it and he enjoys it, don't see that it is any
