The weekly salary of coal miners
in Illinois during October averaged
$3617, according to the monthly re-
port of the state department of labor,
but dropped to $29.78 in November
The same number of names appeared
on the various mining rolls both

percent. The reported running time
at the mines of the state dropped only
2 percent from 49.4 percent of full
time in October to Ala percent in No

A NEW YEAR DISCOVERY
(By Dorothy Harper)


The first Monday after New Years
day a little girl and her grandmother
were taking down the Christmas tree
and piling the branches near the fire.
place. Then the little girl, who had in
fantile paralysis, started to put her
Christmas books in a bookcase which
was over cold air draft. When she
had finished putting the books in the
bookcase she happened to glance down
the cold air draft and saw something
moving back and forth. She felt sure
it was a snake. Suddenly she, push
ing her chair back, said, "Grandmoth-
er, there is snake down that draft, :"
but her grandmother could not believe
it, though to relieve her fright said
she would pour teakettle full of
boiling water down the draft. When
she did such a slamming back and
forth against the pipe as there was!
1t was enough to convince anybody
that there was a snake down the pipe.
AS soon as she could get second
teakettle full of boiling water, the
grandmother poured it down the pipe,
but this time only faint noise was
heard.
A third teakettle full of boiling wa
ter was poured down, but not a
sound was heard, not a funeral note
as his corpse to the basement was
hurried.
The above story is true.

Bill Nye's 18th Birthday

The little town of Fletcher, N. c.,
on August rs, next will observe the
18TH anniversary of the birth Of
Edgar Wilson Nye, the American
humorist by placing on the granite
boulder which marks his last rest
ing place in the yard of Calvary
church in that town a bronze tablet
Upon which will be inscribed the
record of his brief years, AS Maine
claims the honor of being the birth
place of this writer and speaker at
whose jokes and quips all America
was laughing three and more
decades ago, it would be fitting II
some attention were paid to his
birthday in this State. -
Bill Nye was a humorist because
he couldn't help it. Fun dubbed cut
from him as spontaneously as water
from a. spring. He didn't have to
think up his jokes and he did not
have to copy or readapt the humor
OF others. 1t was real honey fun. of
distinctive Maine flavor notwith-
standing that his talent was not dis
covered until long after he left this
state and he had not been writing
long before he had the whole coun-
try looking eagerly for his stuff and
having the best time ever laughing
over it. America may have produc-
ed greater humorists than Bill Nye
but never one who was more popular
on more widely read by all classes Of
people.
r Many are the stories told of the
spontaneity of his wit. On one oc-
casion it is related that he was ad-
dressing an audience in Ithaca, n

that DIR. Kelley was advertising his
famous gold cure. The collegians

RUSSIAN PEASANTS AND LAND

Land hunger had much to do with
the Russian revolution. Because the
peasant got the lands as a result the
revolution succeeded. Although a
comparatively few manage the gov
eminent of Russia, they could not do
this and go contrary to the peasants
possession of the soil. They have
attempted to make him a communal
worker, feeding the dwellers in the
cities and taking what he can get
but he will have none Of 1t. OF
course he is hampered, he cannot
make such productive use Of the soil
as he should, but doubtless does not
appreciate his shortcomings and so
is not as restless under existing con-
ditions as he should be.
Grand Duke Nicholas, one of the
best exemplars Of the class that once
ruled Russia, who undoubtedly IS a
patriot as well as an able man, and
who has had very little to say. now
declares the time is ripe to supplant
the bolshevist regime which he
thinks is tottering to its fall. He
tries to allay the apprehension of the
peasants by saying that of course
the lands they have acquired will not
be taken from them but that ar
rangements must be made to adjust
the claim of the former owners.
There is the nub which the peasants
are not likely to swallow at one gulp.

Neither Miser Nor Waster Be
IN " HoroId .TrihyfpoN

If every wage-earner in the
United States drew all he had out of
the bank and spent it in riotous liv-
ing 1t would cause tremendous
boom while 1t lasted, but at the end
we should be about where we were
when the war contracts ran out in
1920. What the nation wants is not
a boom, bat steadily rising demand,
steadily rising production and the
saving which will make both pos
sible. Habits Of thrift can produce
that, habits of extravaganza can
not; and II it were true that pres
ent-day business cannot operate
satisfactorily when the public is
thrifty, then it would be the part of
present-day business to read1ust
itself. But such a theory isn't any
truer to-day than it was when the
first caveman laid by his food
against a hard winter. Civilization
Is built upon neither miser nor
spender. If there Is a better word
than thrift" for the golden mean
between spending and saving we
have not seen 1t.

CRIME AND CAPITAL PUNISH.
MENT

Dean Inge returning from a brief
lecture course in this country takes
occasion to remark that he does not
approve of capital punishment. He
is q very intelligent person and has
opportunity to observe the way the
Ia, operates in his country. This Is
not saying, however, that there are
not just as intelligent and observing
Englishmen. who take the other view
Of the matter.
OF more weight is the opinion
which Warden Lawes Of Sing Sing
recently expressed speaking before
the Kiwanians. II used to think
capital punishment was a deterrent
of crime" he said, II don't any
longer, for it isn't. Eight
states have abolished capital punish
ment and the murder rate is lower
than in the states where 1t Is In
force"
He referred to England and re-
minded his hearers that In that
country A per cent Of the death
sentences are cor1muted. He be-
lieves, and with the best of reasons
that where there Is no death penalty
juries do not hesitate so much to
convict.
We are being reminded by recent
events in Illinois where there Is
capital punishment that those with
money enough to employ Clarence
barrow do not as rule get hung
Capital punishment that is not en-
forced without fear or favor is an
az, orroitv
