FIRST STEP
Taken To Eliminate Con-
tract Mining of Hard
Coal

Indianapolis, Ind Ct. L. N. ST.
United Mine Workers officials are
interested in the announcement from
officers of District No. / that the first
step toward the elimination of the
contractmining system in hard coal
mines of Pennsylvania has been ac-
complished. John Boylan, president of
District No. l, has advised interna-
tional officials that the Pennsylvania
Coal Company has eliminated the sys-
TEN at its Underwood Colliery at I'm
derwood, Pa.
The contract-mining system has
been held responsible for the warfare
between administration and insurgent
forces in this district where several
men have been killed as result of
the feud between the two forces.
President Boylan, successor to Ri
naldo Cappelini, who resigned because
of the strife over the contract system,
recently presented the matter before
the Anthracite Cancellation Board
with recommendation that the sys-
TEN be abolished by the operators.
1t is understood that other oper-
ators will take steps to do away with
the system and thus restore harmony
in the ranks of the miners in the
district.

LIE used to come in a reindeer sleigh,
II And then he came in rushing cars
He'll try to come in flying machine,
Eighty miles from the Christmas star.
He used to come Ger the attic roof,
And then he came by the road;
And now ell come from the rolling moor
To empty his Christmas load.
He's changed lot since the olden times
But he wears the same fat smile;
And he dances still to the little chimes
That have never forgotten their vile.
And he likes the children as once of old
When earth AZ the Christmas hour
Was ever land Of the dream of gold
With the heart of child In flower.
An altered world, and be must, too,
But he'll bring the bundle of play
things through;
By flying machine or by flying dream,
He'll fill the room, of our hearts
with gleam;
He'll buckle his belt and hitch his blouse
He'll swagger and puff and blow
While every one waits in the quiet house
As they did in the long ago.

THE
Little Christmas
Mother
BY B. b., in Baltimore sun.

OHE has little apron on,
She has little smile;
She has been up since break Of dawn,
She's gone full many mile.
Full many mile about her task
Of baking, kneadins
The little Christmas mother wears
A most enchanted glow.
She sends the children out to play,
She sends them soon to bed:
And then her busy fingers sway
With needle and with thread:
Clothes for dolls and everything,
And so much yet to do
Christmas comes before you know,
And mother must get through!
But all the while upon her face
That soft and gentle CLEAN,
And in her eyes light of grace
That elows the Christmas dream.
Oh. lily is her heart With song,
And in her soul there lie.
The motherhood of ell the world
Descended from the skies.

ROBERT FROTHINGHAM's ADDRESS

There much food for thought in the mastery ad- dress by Robert Frohngham of New York at the week y luncheon of the Chamber Of Commerce. an account or which appears in columns. We are each and every of us inclined to get so close to the trees that can't see the forest Our judgment and conclusions, both commercially and socially bound to be faulty less make real worthwhile effort to get the other mans point. We like MT. FrOthinghamS of the word 'preachment" His was sermon that every in Alaska could have heard with profit. Listen
 The average business is much in the habit of regarding his business from the inside looking out-that he forgets all about how things look to the people the outside, looking in".
 That applies to all of us The difference between the two ends of that statement finds its expression in the Golden Rule Only when put ourselves in the other fellows shoes and make honest effort to get his point of view can we hope to anywhere that ageod "preachment'.
 Then again-the idea that every man, woman and woman and child throughout the Territory is sales man is one to make us stop and think Are just putting over Alaska as exhibition of smart and cev tactics socially politically and commercially, we really interested Tn getting down to brass tacks with our neighbos and visitors and putting cards face up on the table? What sort of impression leaving with men who up here and spend their money by the thousands? These the things that matter to All aska and AlaskanS. These the things that count 1eSWe need to get on the outside every in while and take good long look the inside It may have tendency to make considerate of the other fellow
 It's good thing for us to have like Robert trothlngham drop in and give different slant on llfe We commend his address to readers all along the line. His IS constructive mind Incdently he con- ded to that he finished schoo at the ripe age of IA years since which time he has made his own living When man with a background of haf-centuly can hand out the kind of real stuff that Mr. Frothingham did at the Chamber uncheon it would appear that he had made good use of his time
 More power to him. May we have few more like him to come around and stir up to reasonable appre citation of our possibilities

80 AMERICAN FARM
EXPERTS TOUR EUROPE

Thirty of Americas foremost au-
thorities on the theory and practice
of scientific farming are touring
Europe this summer in search of
methods which may be introduced
into this country with view to in
creasing the income of the American
farmer.
Presidents of agricultural and en-
cheering colleges, home demOnstra-
ton agents, soil chemists, directors
of state experiment stations, pro-
fessors of animal husbandry, fertil-
izer exports, agronomists, crop spe-
cialists and statisticians are making
the tour which is conducted by ]. n.
Harper of Atlanta, Ca, co-director
of the Agricultural & Scientific Bur-
eau, and John S. Carroll, head of the
Jackson, Miss, offices of the N. V.
Potash Export, My.
Starting from Paris, the Ameri-
cans are following an itinerary
which gives them II days in France,
8 days in Switzerland, II days in
Germany, and trip through Bel
GUM and Holland and across the
North Sea to England, where several
days will be spent before the return
to America.
Surveys will be made of the meth
DDS of intensive cultivation, crop d.
versifcation and rotation, soil fer
tilization, animal husbandry and
farm marketing which enable the
European farmer to excel in per-
acre income from the production Of
crops, livestock and dairy products.
There will be inspections of the po-
tassium mines and refneries of Ger
many and France and tours of the
terrace-fiarm areas where intensive
farming is practiced with a mini
mum of efficiency.
There will also be inspections of
famous herds of pedigreed livestock,
and visits to noted agricultural ex-
pertinent stations, including the
worlds oldest, located at Rotham-
stead, Harpenden, England. A series
of conferences with agricultural ex-
perts of Europe will be held enroute.

Items of Interest
To AgricuLturiSts

. cesses which will enable the farmer
to turn this crop into dollars.
The cotton seed produced in the
South is reckoned sufficient, when
refined, to provide the protein re-
ouirements of 53,O00,0O0 people, or
46 per cent of our population. The
cost of protein produced from cot
ton seed is about five cents a pound,
as compared with 25 cents for corn,
80 cents for wheat, $2.65 for milk
and $3.50 for mutton chops.
| Farmers of the South have en-
parked this year up on stupendous
program of soil rejuVenatlqA. In II
leading cotton and tobacco produc-
ing states 4,765,225 tons Of CONNER
cial fertilizers were purchased dur
ing the first four months of the cur
rent year, according to statisticians
of the Agricultural & Scientific Bur-
eau. This exceeds by 1.092,91S tons
or 27 per cent the total tonnage pur-
chased during the first four months
of 1927 and exceeds by 1,9S2,O66 or
II per cent the tonnage purchased
during the 4-month period in 1922.
The IL mountaineering fertilizer
using states are Virginia, South Car
DINA, North Carolina, Georgia, Flor
ida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee,
Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and
Texas. Their consumption helped to
stimulate the importation or domes-
tic production of the three leading
fertilizer ingredients-potash, nitro
gen and phosphoric acid. Potash i'm
ports during the first quarter of 1928
jumped to 74,52S tons, as compared
with 1855 in 1927 and 17,149 in
1921.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
from National Editorial AssoeiGtiOg1

Washington, July 11.-This city is
preparing for long political siege.
The battle of the partisan mlmeo-
graphs will be waged from here as
it has been decided to establish
headquarters for the Republican
and Democratic campaigns in the
capital city. Herbert Hoover will
probably deliver the major of his
radio speeches from Washington,
supplemented by high calibered pub
licity. While it is expected that
Governor Smith will make more
personal appearances than the Re
publican candidate, the Democratic
party will mobilize it's publicity
here. In previous campaigns the
Republicans maintained their main
quarters at Chicago.
Ordinarily when Congress is not
in session the volume of political
news emanating from Washington
is materially reduced. The absence
of the President likewise diminishes
the circle of political intelligence.
AS evidence that a retiring Presi-
dent is gradually stepping out of
the picture of current news dis
patches, observers point to the fact
that the corps of correspondents
stationed at the summer White
House is very small compared with
other years. Though the headquar-
ters are maintained in Washington
the real political battle-ground is
in the middle west and east. These
two sections are considered con-
tested territory by the party lead
ers. The regional officers will be
charged with the responsibility Of
getting out the vote and selling the
candidates and the ticket to the
voters.
OF particular interest to citizens
of the voting age who have been
flooded with unwelcome and some |
times useless government docu-
ments by their Legislators, is the
tendency on the part of the Gov
eminent Printing Office to restrict
this waste. Approximately forty
five million copies of publications
were distributed by government de-
partments, usually at the request of
a Member of Congress. An effort
has been made to regulate the dis
tribution of official" documents by
having a board of review determine
or not the Thanking privi-
lege is being abused in the distribu-
ton of these documents. The Pub
