The coal miners strike which ha9 been on in Kansas for some time has finally drifted over to Missouri, and ast week about half th miners working in the coal mines at Rich Hill laid down their picks and quit work. The other half still remain at their post and the coal companies claim they are all right and can get all the men they want to work their coal. About 200 miners who took part in a parade were discharged. It is said the men who have quit work are foreigners almost to a man. The sheriff with several deputies spent last week at the mines. But all was quiet and there was nothing to do but stand around "and look on. The companies intimate that in case of necessity they will again ship in mgro miners. The miners at Rich Hill had no grievance or cause for striking ex cept sympathy for their Kansas brethren and their course will sure ly prove bad judgment and will re sult finally in disaster to those who have followed the advice of M. L. Walters. The Times hopes the miners will see the folly of their rash act and return to work, ere they get in the bad predicament of their Kansas brethren.

Bat now Europe is short of bread stuff's, there is a great demand for American wheat, it is already on the move, the price paid for it most come back to this country, gold will flow in. the money situation will be relieved, all will be well and even farmers may be happy yet Ex. . The writer of the above might have added if the farmer acts with judgement enough to hold his wheat crop for the raise.
