Notice To Farmers.

|
Men frequently come into the
News Office asking for work.
That reminded us that The
News could do it's su bscribers
lot of good by establishing a
free employment agency for
their benefit.
From now on The News will
keep a list of those needing help
on the farm and of men wanting
work If you will soon need
help to harvest, call phone No. 7
and tell your troubles to The
News or come in and leave your
order. We will direct such men
as come to us for job to the
farmers needing help in the
order in which their application
is on the book. That is the first
one down will be first served and
so on in regular order. This
service costs you nothing and
for that reason. if after you leave
an order for help you secure the
men needed from some other
source, phone us so that you
may be checked off.
This last is important as it
may cause man to walk out to
your place, needlesly and at the
same time may lose the man a
job.

PRoUTY MAKES POINT
Judge Shows What New Freight Rate
Increase Would Cost Des Moines and
Also DiscIoses Why cummins'
Amendment Was Defeated.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, June 3.-The figures
given in a speech in this city by Judge
Prouty showing that the increase OF
freight rates announced this week
would, in force, cost Des Mones people
about s1,275.00O a year. were furnished
by Commissioner Wiley, of the local
boosters club, which is also a booster
club for Captain Hull as we'll as for
other things. 1t was at first proposed
that the whole matter be stirred up
with regard to all Iowa, but upon adj
vice this has been put off until after
the primary, when it may be safely
aired.
The cost to the state has not been
computed, but it will be enormous. The
point which Judge Prouty makes Is
that it was to make easy a way of
heading off this sort of an increase
that the Cummins amendment was
bill, and because the Cummins amend
ment would prevent just such an in
crease, 1t was defeated.
This exaction of added charges for
shipment Of freight really comes from
the consumers and buyers and no.
from the shippers, for the shippers and
dealers must add the freight to the cost
of goods.
Now the Iowa grain dealers learn
that an increase is in contemplation
for grain rates eastward, which will be
a still further burden
