WHAT THE MINER DOES FOR THE NATION
In this era of consolidation to destroy competition it is
of note that the metal mining industry is one that encour
ages and supports all others and competes with none. A
new factory factor competes with established factories;
an additional farm tends to lower the price of farm pro
ducts; another source cuts into the trade and profits of
existing ones; the miner alone enirches all and competes
with none. He creates the real wealth, patronizes every
other establishment and, producing nothing that he can
consume; affords the best home market for the products
of others. The amount of his purchase depends upon the
amount of mineral development. His work sets in motion
and sustains a legion of other industries, all operating to
the common good.
As a promoter of railroad traffic, as a creator of new
enterprises, as a customer for manufactures of all kinds,
the miner is the best purchaser vivifying a wide circle of
activities. It has been calculated that each underground
miner affords employment for ten men above ground,
thus putting in motion industrial waves on which ride to
profit the merchant, the manufacturer, farmer and rail
road man. He asks for little, but self interests suggests
to every man in every capacity that anything that aids
the mining industry aids his own business.
The value of the miner’s patronage is manifested.
Whatever help the miner helps all; whatever depresses
the mining industry injures to that extent the welfare of
the nation. The miner needs no subsidies, concessions or
anti-trust legislation; he does need, however, to have his
importance more generally recognized. Were it not for
the miner one half of the entire nation would still be wil
derness and the other half filled with people preying upon
one another in the struggle for existence. The miner has
created the greatest home market in the world and is
thus far the foremost factor in all commercial develop
ment. When the miner has money to spend, everybody
in his vicinity is prosperous. And the truth of these
patent facts should be recognized in the legislature of
every mining state and territory.

CHANGE THE NAME
A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but the
feeling arises that Wrangel Island would be a happier
spot under another appellation. After all the trouble
taken by American and British explorers to plant their
national standards thereon, along comes a bolshevik mis
sion which takes both down and hoists the red flag in
their place. Now, if this desolate arctic waste had only
been nemad Conciliation, Harmony or Brotherhood, we
should have no fears.
The best plan to preserve peace is to have one big
nation that desires nothing living alongside smaller ones
it could lick.
ENCROACHING ON PRIVILEGE
The railway mail clerks have been given orders to
shoot to kill. Heretofore that was supposed to be the
privilege of bandits only, eh?
Learn whether a man had rather fight his own crowd
or the opposition and you know which party he belongs to.
PERFECT AND PLEASANT
A negro full of Florida com liquor had a five-inch
knife in his back and didn’t know it. Why look any fur
ther for a perfect anesthetic?
Some things will last a great while if pickled, but this
isn’t true of mortals. v
There is an epidemic of rabies in Russia, but the
cables don’t explain how anybody can tell.
lira SOCIAL
IT CHURCH FRIDAY
At the local Methodist church at 8
■o’clock Friday evening of this week,
under the auspices of the Ladies’ Aid,
will be given a Haloween box social.
While there will be good eats for
those fortunate enough to obtain a
“basket” yet the financial part of the
affair will be only a minor part of
it, its main purpose being a good time
socially. An interesting and enter
taining program, largely musical, both
vocal and instrumental is being pre
pared. There will be a few good read
ings, and Rev. T. P. Graham has prom
ised to give a real negro sermon in
true Southern negro dialect.
In accord with the spirit of the sea
son there will be a witch present to
tell your fortune; and other interest
ing stunts. Lets all go, for a genuine
ly good time is assured.

“The Home Maker”

ALICE JOYCE —CLIVE BROOK
Here is a startling picture that seethes with
human drama, that upsets all your pat conventions
of womarfs place in the home and man’s place in
business. It is vital, big in conception, sensational
in its revelation of unspoken truths. .. It is a picture
even more powerful than the widely read novel.
