He had tried to look pale

He had sighed heavily and wearily
as he went down to dinner.
Now and then he had cast his eyes
up to the ceiling Of the dining room

ORDER IMPROVEMENT
The Loop Will be Built Early Next
Spring.

At a meeting of the board of direc,
tors of the Oskaloosa Traction &
Light Company it was voted that the
company make the improvement con,
templated in the extension of the
tracks on A street and First avenue,
a distance of two blocks. to create a
loop.
The curves and switches must be
put in as special construction work
made to order and measurement in
factory and this will take considerable
time. There is not time to get the
work done before the coming of Sc
we're weather and the improvement
will not be made until spring. With
the opening of the season the mater
ial will all be readytfor installation.
Rough estimates indicate that the
improvement will cost from $500 to
$4,000. 1t will mean much for the
business section OF town and will
greatly facilitate the operation of cars
and the transfer of passengers.

IOWA SEED CORN WEEK
Experts Urge Early Selection of
Grain For Planting.

The last week in September, from
Sept. 26 to Oct. l inclusive, is to be
officially designated as seed corn week
in Iowa by a bulletin soon to be is
sued from the Iowa experiment sta
ton. In this bulletin the department
will urge everybody to observe the
week by selecting their seed corn for
the coming year. Reminded by the
experience of thousands OF farmers
last season who had to pay enormous
prices for poor grades of imported
seed which eventually resulted in a
poor stand, the department considers
that the farmers of the state will be
more considerate this season and look
after the selection of their seed more
closely.
Don't wait until husking time to Sc
lect your seed" will plead the bune-
tin. IF every ear of corn that is to
be planted could be harvested before
the freezing nights of October and
November, and thoroughly dried out
before it has been weakened and the
vitality killed, it would add millions
to the wealth of Iowa. Much of the
seed planted is bad, not because of
the fact that 1t was not good when Sc.
leeted and properly cared for, but be-
cause it was selected when husked and
had already been frozen"

JOHN p. WHITE.
o.. Sketch of Mr.. White.
John P. White was born in Coal
Valley, Rock Island County, ILL.,, Feb.
28, 1870. He was the youngest son
OF Jos. and Catherine White, and his
father died when he was but two
years of age. In 1883 the family
moved to Lucas, Iowa, and he attend
ed the public school at that place I'M
til the age of IA, at which time he en-
tered the mines.
He was married to Miss Ida Behold
of Burlington, Iowa, in the year 1890.
Five children have blessed this un-
ion, two sons and three daughters,
four of whom are living,-Thomas,
aged Is; Paul, l6; Marie, ID, and
Mildred, 6. Mr.. White and his family
reside at Oskaloosa, Iowa.
He has been actively Identified with
the United Mine Workers ever since
it's inception, and in 1889, when the
movement was but fragmentary, he
was chosen Secretary-Treasurer OF
District 10, position which he held
until April l, 1904, when he was
chosen President of the District. He
served in that Office from 1904 until
April l, 1908, when he was unanimous
ly elected as Vice President of the In
ternatiOnal Union. He served in this
position for one year, retiring at the
end of that period. He returned to
Iowa, and at the earnest request of a
large number of the miners of Dis
trict 10, he again accepted the presi-
dency of the District in April, 1909, a
position which he now holds.
In 1906, he was chosen by the In
ternational Convention as a delegate
to the Worlds Congress of Mining,
which convened in London, England,
and he has been a delegate to the
American Federation of Labor on sew
eral occasions.
The present good condition of the
organizations affairs in District ID,
which is without doubt the best fl
nanced organization in the miners
movement, is largely due to his untir.
ing effort, In his candidacy for the
presidency of the International Union,
he will undoubtedly have a host of
friends. 1t Is conceded that he is the
most logical candidate and is well
and favorably known throughout the
country.

To the Members of the United Mine
Workers of America, Greeting:-
Oskaloosa, Iowa, Sept. 10, 1870
Having been importuned by my
friends in the United Mine Workers
to permit the use of my name as
tional President, take this oppOrtun-
ity of making known my wishes in
this respect. ....,
AS l felt that the many urgent re-
candidate for this high and exalted
position did not properly reflect a
strong sentiment among the members
in the various districts, | would re-
gard but them but lightly. In past
years my name has been prominently
mentioned in connection with this
big office, and have given it in times
gone by no serious consideration. Re-
Gently, however, the requests have
been so numerous and the sentiment
so pronounced that i have yielded to
the earnest solicitations of my many
friends in the organization, and have
decided to become a candidate at the
coming election for the Office of In
ternational President.
| In doing So have only one object
in view, and that is the desire to be
helpful to our great cause. My friends
seem to be legion and are of the opin-
ion that ! can best serve the United
Mine Workers by aspiring for this
high honor. | realize that there is
great amount of dissension ana many
discouraging features in connection
with our organization at this time,
and | know full well that it will re-
quire heroic effort to sOlidify our
forces and accomplish the great pur-
poses for which the United Mine
Workers organization was instituted,
feel that | can contribute ip a large
measure to. the accomplishment of
these high aims. = < E 's,,s2g
The emoluments of the office have
little charms for me. 1t: viii be my
purpose to refrain from abuse, and
Islander in this contest, and if in the
judgment of the membership OF the
United Mines Workers / should be
honored with the office of Internation-
al President, | shall, with the CO.
operation of those who might be
chosen with me, do everything in my
power to promote their interests by
inaugurating such policies. as, will in.
