Comes then William Howe, secretary of the Kansas Federation of Labor; and issues the following statement: ' "From the day Alexander Howat goes tO*:jail, September 8, until the day Hfe is released not a ton of coal Will he *dug by union miners in Dis|/trictKo. 14." , Howat has been aching and craving to "be a martyr for a good while.

There is about 5.5 per cent representing organized labor. Between these thin upper and nether millstones is 93 per cent, the remainder of the folks of Kansas. The question is, What will this 93 per cent do about it? They are the people whose representatives made the law creating the Industrial Court. During one of the many Howat' tantrums and strikes they stepped in and mined the coal that was needed and 1 kept Howat from freezing a helpless State to death. They are likely to do it again. There is a streak of stubbornness in the Kansan that Howat ought to know about. Because of it he is likely to spend quite a while in jail and his followers are likely to be out of work indefinitely. Governor Henry J. Allen is very fond of that court he created and he can be as stubborn as Ho vat dares be. Valuable By-Product Editor?Have you cut out a lot of the phrases as I suggested?

C. | "VHAT DOES A NEWSPAPER OWE TO ITS READERS?! (Whitefish, Mont.. Pilot.) The relation of a ncwspajier to its readers is one that at times is worth thinl-lncr 'ihnnfi It is mil'l'lv a IiUSilH'SS ; tiiiuuiu? ^?. - * relation in which the subscriber pays so much per year for his paper and the S publisher contracts to give in his news columns accounts of pink teas and lemonade socials, <?r that Mrs. .Jones took dinner with Mrs. Brown, and Smith's baby has the mumps? Or does not the average publisher expect to give more than is included in a i normal business relation? And doesn't the reader expect, more? If it was a pure business relation, a matter of dollars and eefits, the average pub{ lisher would charge more per annum J for a subscription. Eliminating every[ thing but news few if any of the nu| merous publishers of the country | could supply the paper at anything like the usual charge per year. We fancy that the average publisher likes to think of his readers as all comprising one big family having many things ' in common and who feel that when they receive the paper each issue that they are getting more than the two or three cnts that it costs them. Wo are inclined to think that between the average paper and its average reader there is a relation that is beyond and above a pure business relation. The paper should give that which passes as current news, to be .slife, but over and above this it must give a community service that cannot be measured in dollars. It must stand for the best that is in the community. It must have courage to condemn, as well as courage to commend. A pai per to command respect cannot be 1 spineless. It must have a code and I abide by that code. If it is a real i paper its readers will respect it if they do not always agree with it. A paper's great asset is a list of readers wno respect it. A town's greatest asset is a paper that its readers respect. A paper must be honest, and as far as humanly possible it should be impartial. A paper that does not have the confidence of its readers is incapable as a community spokesman. A paper that is run for revenue alone bannot long maintain the respect of its readers. These a.re some of the things that a paper owes to its readers. Sometimes, stop and think what you, as a reader, owe to the paper*, not in dollars, bpt in a way that is bigger than dollars. ? ICELAND SPAR One of the most interesting of nature's processes is that by which cracks in volcanic rocks are filled in with materials brought up in hot solutions from the bowels of the earth. It is by this means that "veins" and "lodes" of goal and silver are formed. In the eastern part of Iceland there is a locality where such cracks in rocks have been filled in with a pure carbonate of lime which forms clear and beautiful crystals. These crystals, called "Iceland spar," have a peculiar property of "polarizing" light, which makes them valuable for usein connection with microscopes and other optical instruments. Within the last few years deposits of Iceland spar have been discovered in Sweetgrass County, Montana, and in the Warner Rang, near Cedarville, Calif. Efforts are being made to develop them.

SHEALV. 1 PliUCRY pigeon finds way HOME ALTER EIGHTEEN DAYS Seventeen days behind his fastest companion, a wind-buffeted but plucky homing pigeon pushed through the trap that rings the automatic bell | at the United States Department of | Agriculture poultry husbandry farm at lifltsville, Md.. Wednesday meriting bearing a message from Mayor Thompson, of Chicago, to Congressman Martin B. Madden, of Illinois. He is the third to reach home out of 10 birds from the farm, which were liberated as part of the Chicago Pag eant of Progress, July 30. One of these broke a world's rec ord by covering the 614 1-2 miles in 27 hours elapsed time, which, in the opinion of Albert Jacobson, expert in charge of hojning pigeons, means less than 16 hours actual flying. This bird bore a message from Mayor Thompson to President Harding. The speed with which he covered the distance .seemed to indicate he realized the importance of his errand, bu\ when he 'arrived at the home loft he\was so overcome with modesty that h\ slipped in without even ringing thexsignal. Supt. Jacobson had been making hourly visits to the loft and found him there, and the record was officially clocked at the homing pigeon club. The shortest actual flying time ever made before between the two points was 25 hours. The second bird, bearing a message to Congressman Britten, arrived August 7. Another, bearing a duplicate message, reached Dry t Fork, Va., where it became exhausted and was taken in by a farmer. What misadventures befell the latest arrival in this 18-day journey the attendants are unable to tell. It is supposed that he became weak and was obliged to stop and -search for food and shelter. That he was able to resume his flight and find his way is regarded at Beltsville as a remarkable-* exhibition of the homing instinct. Xo Self-Flattery "Are you a servant of the people?" "No," replied Senator Sorghum; "I don't feel that way about it. While I enjoy a fair measure of confidence and esteem, nobody thinks of making the complimentary fuss over me that is made over a good servartt."

Sept: 7. 1921. i "DAWDLERS" NOT LONG LIVED J Lord Leverhulme, one of Great Britian's largest manufacturers, asserts that inofe people shorten their lives by dawdling in England than by hustling. He is a living proof that hustling promotes hale old age. He has always led the strenuous life, and at 70 is still going strong. He, presided at the annual meeting of the British Industrial Safety First Association the other day. In his address he drew largely upon his American experience. Steps had been taken there, he said, to ascertain whether it was the hustling, bustling business man who was supposed to shorten his days, or the man who crawled and dawdled through life. He declared there were men in the unnea states toaay 01 iu, su ana Between DO and 100 years of age who were still in good health and a<tivelv X engaged in business, whereas men who had retired early from business had shortened their lives thereby. He thought the crawl of the dwdler was largely instrumental in shortening the lives of individuals in Great Britian?that the more a man worked, whether professionally or in other vocations, the more he would conserve his life and strength and the life and commerce of the country. A Silent Approach "Look here, Moses," said the white foreman of a gang of colored laborers, "every time I come around you' are loafing. How does it happen I never find you at work?" "Ah'll tell you how come, bass," explained Moses aggrievedly. "It's cause dem rubber heels of yours don't make no noise a-tall." NATORETELLSYOU As Many a Lexington Reader Knows Too Well.
