Kentucky Adds Coal to Its Long List of “Beautiful” Products, By Roger Batchelder. “Kentucky ts famous for {ts beauti- ful women, horses, cattle, * whisker and tobacco," asserted C. 1.. Ryley of Lexington, who {ts at the McAlpin “It is also the only State that raises hemp of any commereui! value, but only recently has Kentucky's come into promine “The coal strike,” Mr. Ryley went on, “has, paradoxically, been a boon to Kentucky and some parts of Weat Virginia, Those States are nov: ducing 90 per cent. of the coal in the country, and in Kentucky It ca produced cheaper than elsewhere. Non-union labor, of course, is em ployed. Tho geological lay of the land in also a creat help to us. Ours is practically surface mining, and the coal resources of Kentucky have as yet hardly been scratched. The strike has brought the State into an import ant position as a producer of coal, and, in my opinion, its position will be permanent, regardless of the events which come later."’ ee 6 COLORADO, IN BAD SHAPE, RB- COVERING. “T should say that 75 per cent. of the people in our country have lost money during the past few years,” said Prof. R. ©. George of the Uni- versity of Colorado, who is at the Astor from Boulder. ‘The only ones who made money were the money lenders, for many paid from 12 to per cent. for money to tide them over the crisis. “The cattle situation has been bad. Ope man whom I know told me re- cently that nearly four years ago he could obtain credit at any bank for $760,000, but that to-day he could not horrow $750. He sald that he had just sold his Jaat 1,009 cattle, and that {t cost him $14,000 more to raise them than he got for them “Trarmers get nothing for their products in comparison with the costs of labor, implements and general pro- duction, yet retail prices, for the most part, are as high as during the war. ‘Vhese thust come down before condi- ions will be right again. “However,” Prof. George cluded, “mines are picking up, our new tunnel will solve the transporta- tion problem, the people are optimis- fio, and we know that we are going to pull out all right.” oe coal AMATEUR SMUGGLERS LOSE NERVE. Yesterday we talked with a man from Chicago at the Martinique who had just come back from Europe. And he had lots to say, anonymously, about the people ‘who promise to bring back ‘some of the old stuff” to their friends. “On the way over," he related. “T talked with a number who said that they had a wee bit of liquor least which they were going to ring into the United States. The farther they got from Southamp- ton, the less they talked of it, and « by the time we sighted land, noth- ime was sald. They were scared imlf to death when we saw the Statue of Liberty, and I believe that the quart or two which they tad brought along spoiled the whole trip for them. “When the customs men came aboard, they all lost their nerve I know several who actually went to their cabins and hid their treas- ured bottles under their bunks. One would have thought that they were smuggling in a million dolla necklace from the appearance of thelr faces. And the relief when they came back empty-handed! No, it isn't worth while.” «es OCEANS FIVE HOURS APART THERE. “A steamer can go from the Atlan- Uc to the Pacific through the Panama “anal in about five hours,"’ reported ilugh J. White of Balboa Heights, Canal Zone, who is at the Pennsyl- ania, The best time from one ocean v another is four hours and twelve ninutes, to be exact,’” he went on. though a larger ship takes much longer. Panama is the land where one can pick blackberries and strawberries so) con-]} 11 every day of the Lava deposits from old erupt ave made the soil extremely rich, and the climate is ideal throughout the year. Panama is a true land of flowers, and is especially noted for its remarkable orchids.’* CUBAN FENCERS AFTER NEW YORK SCALPS.
