It soldiers were exploited In Amershould we 80 willingly censure Europe for copying us. 18 also claimed in this article the French government wished that collect rent for the trenches occuto by American troops.

The pied sunlity of such a statement is self evident. That was one of the many rumors which were ever present around 01 army. 1 often heard it repeated jokingly, but not even the homesick doughboy really believed it. we are going to reap lasting benefit from the sacrifices made by perica in the war are we not defeating our own purpose by belittling the French, 6 nation which if we half way we could bind to 08 with ties stronger than the League of Nations.

YESTERDAY WAS PAY-DAY Yesterday was pay day at the McLean county coal mine. The miners got paid for the coal they dug the last two weeks in December. During that thirteen days of work there were six days when the local output was over 200 tons daily.

Thi standard of work le being maintained about the same at the present time. But the mine is not doing what It did ten years ago. A glance at the production books of the winter of 1909-1910 show outputs of 500 to 600 tons per day. Orders for coal are piled up two weeks ahead in the office of the company. The.

total amount of coal hoisted during the last two weeks of December is 2,533, which 19 an average of 194 tons a day, This tonnage includes, however, the slack and all. It is roughly estimated that 20 per cent of the coal is dropt thru the screens and becomes nut coal, pea coal and slack. The other 80 per cent 19 lump coal. Nut coat sells for $4.25 and pea coal for $3.75 at the shaft. Slack sells for 1.75, but there 19 no immediate sale for this in normal times.

There 1s other loss from the total tonnage hoisted thru the impurities that are picked out from time to time and from the droppage around the top of the shaft. Lump coal sells for $4.50 at the shaft The orders from the coal mine and those thru the local dealers are keeping Bloomington just A little ahead of the game.
