CARRIERS GET RAISE OF
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS
Beginning July I, 1911, All Mail
Carriers On Standard Routes
Receive $1,000 A Year.

A dispatch from Washington, ID.
c., says that the 40, 900 odd rural free
delivery carriers in the United States
are to receive salary increase as a
result of a decision reached by Post
master General Hitchcock. The
order will provide for the disburse-
ment during the current fiscal year
of $4,000,000 which will mean an
increase of 500 over the present
salary of 5000 for all carriers on
standard routes.
Congress provided last session for
the expenditure of this extra
"a, 900, 900, but left it to the discretion
of the postmaster general as to how
much of it should be expended. Mr..
Hitchcock decided Saturday to authorize
the expenditure of the full amount.
In the current year the rural service
will cost the government about
$40, 900, 900, the estimated loss being
about $25, 100000. The postmaster
general expressed the belief that the
parcels post system under proper
management would insure the mainte-
nance and extension of their rural free
delivery service as self -supporting
branch of the postal service.
The rural delivery system was
started fifteen years ago with eighty
three carriers, who were paid only
5000 a year. On July there were
Al, 526 carriers, their aggregate salaries
being $35, 1913, 900.

A Fine Yield OF Wheat.

A dispatch from Shenandoah says the
wheat yield in that part of the state
is unusually heavy this year. 1t is
thought by many that the wheat har-
vest will be the best in many years
in that section. The wheat is being
delivered to the Shenandoah Milling
company's warehouse at the rate of
more than fifty loads a day. In an
interview ]. w. Trullinger, manager
of the mill said:
THE yield this year is the greatest,
the quality the highest, the acreage the
biggest / have ever known it to be, and
the prices are good. The farmers are
beginning to realize that fall wheat is
the surest and best paying crop. Corn
may fail but fall wheat never The
gain in wheat acreage this year proved
that my theory is gaining ground. Be
fore farmers have always sowed their
poor ground to wheat, and got good
yields. Some of them this year have
put their good land into wheat and
it has paid them big.
Probably U. p. Hoffman, north of
town, has the largest acreage with
200 acres all in wheat. Lots of other
farmers have from forty acres up and
all of it is making thirty five to forty
five bushels, the majority of it forty or
over. The price has been around rs
cents and the demand good l."

Removal OF Mail Car.

Word reached Audubon, Tuesday
that orders had been given by the post
Office department to remove the mail
car and the mail clerk from the train
on the Audubon branch of the Rock
Island. The news caused a stir among
the business men who are unanimously
opposed to such action. If this were
done the mail would be received and
sent of course but pouch would have
to be made up for each Office between
here and Atlantic and one each for the
east, south and west from that city. 1t
would make it necessary to have all
mail in the postoffice half an hour before
time for the train to leave and no chance
to mail letter on the train. A tele-
gram was sent by Arthur Farquhar as
chairman Of the Commercial Club and
editors of the papers, asking Judge
Green to take the matter up promptly
with the department and enter vigor-
GUS protest against such action. Later
IN the day petition largely signed was
forwarded to the chief clerk of the
railway mail service at Des Moines
urging that matters be left as they are.
A reply was received from Judge Green
yesterday afternoon saying that he
would attend to the matter at once and
see what could be done.

Kenyon And Reciprocity.

Senator Kenyon, on his visit to
Iowa this week, announces that he
will vote against the proposed re-
treaty with Canada. The
Bee is glad that the junior Senator
takes this position, for he thus evil
dences his purpose of keeping close
to the people of Iowa, and of being
governed by their wishes. He has
made careful. investigation of Iowa
sentiment, has received thousands of
letters from Iowa people, and finds
the judgement of Iowa overwhelmingly
hostile to the proposed agreement.
The average Iowan is not seriously
afraid of competition with Canada
on agricultural products, but he
objects to being made the victim of
an unfair trade, and of approving a
treaty" which is not treaty, but
merely mass of concurrent legis-
lation that is inequitable, imperfect
and illogical. Jefferson Bee.

Alfalfa In Iowa.

In jackson township, Shelby county,
j. w. White has just finished his first
cutting of alfalfa hay. From sixty
five acres he has put up 100 tons,
which is easily worth $12 to $14 per
ton. He expects to cut another crop
of at least ton or ton and half to
the acre. Mr.. White has been raising
alfalfa for five years and he considers
it surer crop than red clover. He
finds it increasing in strength with
each succeeding year and he fully in
tends to continue growing it.
The statistics for the county indi-
cate that Mr.. White is growing about
half the alfalfa that is produced in
Shelby county. The question naturally
arises. why should this be so? His
income from his alfalfa land this year
will not be far from $50 per acre. This
beats other crops, even corn. Sixty
bushels of corn per acre at so cents
per bushel is equal to $50 per acre but
corn takes fertility from the soil while
alfalfa adds fertility. -Nonpareil.

Just AS True In Audubon.

The Atlantic Telegraph referring to
their Chautauqua speaks as follows:
Every farmer in Cass county should
make up his mind that his sons and
daughters are going to attend all
sessions of the Atlantic Chautauqua.
If they will attend and take an active
part, and get interested in the studies,
lectures and amusements it will do
them more good than any six months
course in any college. 1t comes at the
time of year when yon can afford to let
the young folks take little lay-off.
Plan to send the young folks to the
Chautauqua for the benefit they will
derive. You owe it to the young folks
to give them every possible advantage.
Get season ticket now so as to be in
on the ground floor. The Chautauqua
brings to your very door the attrac-
tions you used to have to ride many
miles to get chance to see and hear.
Make the best of this opportunity.

Boost The County Fair.

To use the language of another Audu-
bon county is going to have a big fair
this fall. II will be bigger and better
than ever. Its bigness depends upon
the loyal support given it by home
folks. It Is time for the women folks
to decide what they are going to
exhibit at the fair. II is time for the
men folks to be looking over their stock
and picking out the candidates for blue
ribbons. Every stock raiser ought to
take keen interest in the fair. The
bigger and better the stock the better
the live stock business will become in
this section. Why, years ago when we
never got ideas from other people,
what was there to the live stock bust
nessI The same condition prevails
with reference to poultry and farm
products. Any farmer or any man in
town who imagines he can't learn
something by comparing notes and
products with his neighbors is fool
Get all the pleasure you can out of the
fair. Boost it along. Attend You
might get an idea that would be worth
81, 900 to you on the farm next year
The fair books are out and copies can
be secured of Secretary Curtis. Re-
member the date is September 10 to %.

Judge Green Saving Wood.

Judge Green is not making much
noise in his new position as congress-
man, but the report comes from
Washington that he is saving wood
just the same. 1t never was Judge
Green's intention to 20 down to
Washington, and after being there a
few days, proceed to tell the big
guns" just what the trouble is with
the country. The chances are that
he will be heard from later, and when
he does speak he will have something
to say which will be worth hearing. =

ahead of him with horse being led on
behind and ran into it breaking the
horses back causing it to be killed and

Representative Green In Washington

A Special to The Daily Nonpareil
says that Congressman w. r. Green is
now settled in Washington but, because
the house has been in session SO little
of late, up to this time has not had an
opportunity to vote on any important
bills except the constitutional amend
ment providing for the direct election
of senators.
On this question Judge Green sup
ported the stand taken by Bristow in
his amendment permitting congress to
retain control over the election of sena-
tors and opposed the democratic program
providing that the time and manner of
elections be controlled entirely by the
several states.
Judge Green was presented to the
president and was very cordially re-
ceived. A most pleasant conversation
ensued in which the president made it
apparent that the representative of the
Ninth district of Iowa would not suffer
at the white house as the result of his
personal stand on Canadian reciprocity.
