THE THREATENED COAL MINERS* STRIKE
Somehow or other it sooms that the people are going to
be forced to hardship of one kind or another in spite of all
that can be done.
According to present prospects there is likely to take
place a strike by the coal miners. Already coal consum
rrs are forced to pay double the normal price for coal and
with the appoaching of winter comes the talk of likely sus
pension of delivery of the nocossnry fuel.
This is one example presenting to us the reason for the
trouble we are now having in bringing about adjustments
of general conditions. In New York milk wagon driver.,
have left their jobs in demand ofc more money for their
services, while the eight million consumers of the prod
uct, many of them at least are unable to pay the price
that is already heaped rpon them. We will never get
away from the depression that is confronting us until the
people begin to take a different attitude.
As a matter of fact selfishness is at the bottom of all
our rouble. The tiling best for the country is for us all to
get away from the idea of absorbing everything coming
within our reach and reaching out for what little is left
for tlie nourishment of the other fellow. We need to read
over and over the saying quoted below, and study the
meaning of the quotation:
‘•Unshared prosperity palls and pines, and carries
no blessing in it.”
Arrival at the above conclusion will be the beginning
point of the good old days when men freely expressed a
wilingness to confide in one another. We need to go back
and study the principles that gave America the reputa
tion of being the most democratic country in the world.
U'c are allowing ourselves to too rapidly depart from the
good fellowship once existing amongst rs.
We are told upon good authority yiat our insane asy
lums are growing faster in number of patients than at any
time in years past We are also advised that the present
depressing conditions are responsible for this particular
situation.
In view of the true facts surrounding us, it seems that
without question of doubt it is high time that we do away
with the idea of remaining unrestful. Already, we are
rapidly Raveling upon the road that leads us steadily and
leg.daily down the hill and' unless we reach a different
conclusion quite soon it is likely we will have gone so far
as to make impossible our return to the point from where
we started. The grade we must pull for recuperation is
growing steeper and steeper each day, all of which means
that our climbing back will be all the harder the further
we go.
Contentment is the tiling that will start us back onto
tile road of prosperity. It is much better for us to make
up our minds to this effect now than to wait until a later
date.

IMPROVING SWEET POTATOES
By J. A. McCLINTOCK
WATSON ON THE FIRING LINE
Frankly, we were in hope, that Senator Wal.mu might
conduct himself in the United States Senate in such a way
as to bring no uisgruce upon the state of Georgia, and on
accotnt of our optimistic disposition we are still hopeful
of sueh in the end of ilia junior senator’s career in con
gress.
However to say the least of it, we do not feel good over
the antics of our high national rnpresantative. Senator
Watson, according to our way of viewing his actions, is
imply making a sort of monkey out of .himself. His la
test charges as a member of our national law making body
is that many young men soldiers were put lo death while
selling with t'ie American expeditionary forces without
legal investigation and trial by army officials. Frankly,
v e have no Idea that Senator Watson is of tlie opinion that
lie can substantiate any of these charges, but rather
strongly believ that he as no ill' ll of being able to pro
duce any evidence that will prove the assertion.
The making of a charge without evidence to substan
tiate same is nothing more nor less than the doings of a
child. The actions of a man supposed to possess even av
erage intelligence, in making serious accusations is dis
gusting in tho extreme and is unworthy of the confidence
of anyone. It is now up to Mr. Watson to prove that wliat
lie charges is time or subject himself to being pictured in
the minds of liis constituents as a real joke.
Of course, we are used to listening to all sorts of
( urges made by Mr. Watson during years gone by. How
ever, we diti thihk better of him thun to believe that ho
possessed no more judgment than to go to Washington
and mako rtdMilous statements in the presence of man
who make it a business in know what is going on over
the country. Honestly ns little as we t 'ink of our junior
senator wo are almost forced to confess that even we are
somewhat si rprirod at his actions.
Never before did we hear it intimated that n man
might subject himself to danger by giving evidence before
a congressional investigating committee. Nevertheless,
we would not be surprised to know that any witness Mr.
Watson might call for would subject himself to impeach
ment and if impeachment proceedings could be termed
dangerous we expect that our senator would be doing the
wise thing to keep his friends out of the limelight.

Your Jte of health largely
depends upon the food you eat
No one who is physically ailing in any way
can afford to take chances with the food he eats.
For upon the selection of your food, and upon
its perfect digestion and assimilation largely de
pends your state of health.
The most important thing in connection with
the digestibility of any cereal food is the way it
' is prepared—and the length of time it is cooked
or baked.
Grape-Nuts, the rich cereal food made from
whole wheat flour and malted barley, is probably
baked longer than any other cereal food.
A large part of the starch of the wheat and
barley is changed into dextrin and grape-sugar in
preparing Grape-Nuts. This is one reason why
Grape-Nuts is so easily digested by even the
most delicate people.
Grape-Nuts is wheat and barley so processed
as to make it delicious and appetizing; even young
children thrive on it and grow strong and rosy.
Go to your grocer today and get a package
of Grape-Nuts. Eat it as a cereal with milk or
cream, or make it into a delicious pudding. It
will be enjoyed and relished by every member
of the family.

trm typo of sweet potatoes will bo obtained if only th !
'ilium sized, well shaped potatoes are saved from the i

ored, carefully, by itself, preferably in crates, in a mod- i
n curing house, which will insure (heir keeping until :
jady to bed in the spring. Where growers have no stor j

Some growers believe that potatoes stored In banks or

is proven by the JCxperiment Stations and growers
