Not Wise To Develop Many Small Coal Mines
It is not the small and widely scattered coal mines of Kansas that need to be developed, but the larger fields that have not been worked to final capacity, according to Ermanna Hafer, a professor at the department of geoyen at K. U.
He thinks that it is not a wise policy to develop such small mines as those around Lawrence. He believes that they may try to mine in the small mines near here, when there are long veils that have not been developed. The farmers used to mine it near but they now find it more profitable to buy them.
"Kansas mines that are idle in Linn county, at LaCygne, Pleasanton, and Boicourt are vastly better to be mined than the little ones like these here in Douglas county. Coal in these mines could be obtained for two-thirds the cost of operating the little mines of the state."
"With a vein of coal only twelve to eighteen inches thick," he said, "such as that in the strip which extends through Lawrence from Atchison south past Ottawa to Sedan, it costs too much to mine it. The mines in the southeast can mine it so much cheaper and it is better coal."
professor Haworth also pointed out that the vast amount of timber land in the state could be used if the coal gave out. He said that there was plenty of it and that it is good field material; demand is not enough for it, to make its demand worth while for many to go out to cut it.

WHEN the first snow furries drift through the crisp air, and you settle down in your favorite chair with a good book, don't you begin to get something of the spirit of Christmas? Or as you swing along in the invigorating breeze with your coat buttoned tight 'round your neck, and you catch a gay bit of song or a rippling note of laughter from the lighted houses, and see the way the bell tells me you're not 'taking your heart swell a little and your step a trifle quicker?' Even the crunch of the soft snow underfoot seems to mingle with the sleighbells in their proclamation of the glad season.
Christmas, above all other times, is the occasion for unconstrained joy, for fellowship, and happiness. The sordidness of the every-day world, "with its petty round of irritating concerns and duties," is forgotten. Bells peal out from the church tops, and the miracle of the "Christmas Carol" is re-enacted n a million homes.
GIVE HIM CIGARS
At no other festival of the year does the common bond of fraternity so strongly grip our hearts. Whether we still hang up our stockings in youthful expectation, or believe that all men are equal, it is the bond of us who does not feel that strange something within us which finds its expression in a spirit of sacrifice and tender remembrance.
But don't give him any kind of cigars. Give him a good brand!
