KNOCKS VISIT IS SIGNIFICANT
REGARDED As IMPORTANT AZ
PERRY's FAMOUS TRIP.
Expected to Cause FrIendller Feel.
Ing Between orIentaIs and
Americans.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE highest
diplomatic significance is attached to
the announcement made by President
Taft at the White House that Secre-
tary Of State Knox will go to Japan az
the representative of the president at
the funeral ceremonies of the late EN-
peror Mutsuhite. In his announce
ment here President Taft indicated
that he regards the forthcoming Knox
mission on level of importance with
the famous visit of Commodore Perry
to Japan more than half century
ago, which resulted in the opening of
Japan to intercourse with nations Of
the western world and influx of west
ern civilization.
Mrs. Knox will leave Washington and
proceed to Seattle and there board an
armored cruiser of the United States
navy which will convey him to Japan.
Ransford s. Miller, chief of the divi.
sion of far eastern affairs of the state
department, will act as secretary OF
the mission. Mr.. Miller has lived
more than twenty years in the orient,
speaks Chinese and Japanese and is
the state department expert on affairs
of the far east. An admiral of the
navy and general OF the army, neither
of whom has yet been selected. will
accompany the secretary as aides.
Among other things, 1t is hoped that
Mr.. Knox's visit will tend to remove
whatever sting Japan has found in the
Magdalena Bay incident and its re-
sultant Lodge resolution" and in the
recent agitation in this country over
the manner in which Japan has con.
Quoted the trial of several Corean
Christians, accused Of conspiracy.
Both of these incidents, especially the
latter, were the source of irritation
and embarrassment at the state de-
partment-embarrassing because they
were regarded as unnecessary and
unpleasant insinuation against Japan.
It is well known that the Japanese
as people are peculiarly responsive
to attention and recognition from the
western nations. Those acquainted
with the Japanese predict that the
presidents act in sending Mr.. Knox
as special envoy will awaken the
warmest feelings of gratitude among
the Japanese. The Knox mission
should take its place. it is predicted,
as one of the most notable acts Of in
ternational friendship ever performed
by an American president and which
will find great appreciation in Japan.

Tnfeener0 VINO CneaS eATmeTes
Several threshermen in Iowa are
booked for trouble, according to the
state dairy and food commissioner.
He says that complaints have been
made about operators who thresh 30
bushels and charge for threshing 100
bushels. When this III done the farm
er is forced to pay for work not done
and is cheated into believing that his
wheat is better than it really is.
Scales are used to measure tho
grain from threshing machine. The
operator adjusts the scales 80 that
they cheat from Z to 10 per cent, &C.
cording to the complaints received.
1--WE have had half dozen COM
plants recently" Mr.. Barney said. Il
sent an inspector out to find out
there is cause for complaint.
In two places we found the threshers
cheating the farmers. Unless the
system is changed 1T once prosecu
tons will follow"

to employees of factories and work.
shops in the state, according to the
state labor commissioner. The bien-
NAL report of the commission is made
up from reports from only slightly
more than half the factories of the
state. Owners have been negligent
about making reports and the COM
mission does not have enough help
to force these reports.
Thus far the commission has not
prosecuted the delinquent ones. 1t is
probable that such course will be
followed in the future.
From the figures compiled 1t 10
learned that there were twenty-eight
fatal accidents and 1859 non-fatal &C.
cidents during the last year. Seventy.
i've per cent of these are considered
preventable and so per cent of them
are accredited to carelessness Of
those hurt. With additional inspec-
tors the commissioner believes he
could lower the rate.
Wage earners and salaried EN-.
ployes in Iowa factories last year
earned about 100000 more than
the previous year, according to the re-
port. The total amount earned was
close to $42.00o,o0o.
From the tables compiled Il 10
learned that the average wage OF
adult males is 1876 a year, adult fe-
males, 1920, and children. $751;.
The newsboys were included in the
children thus increasing the number
employed and not increasing the
wage.
The average increase in the wage OF
men was SO per cent, and the mum.
Der affected by the increase was g..
6s4 in 1911.
The average working day was 50
hours.
The average number Of days work.
ed during the year was 307.
The superintendents, managers.
clerks and other salaried employees
earned: Men, 1910, earning $780,.
$3.50, az against $7,793,5S9.99 the
previous year; women, 1921, earning
$s26,078.2O as against $733,464.93;
making a total of $9,792,435.59 ~
against $S,527,O54.

Abandons the Public Drinking Cup

No more public drinking cups on
the Northwestern trains. The anci.
ent tin cup got a death blow from
the operating department of the Chi
'cago & Northwestern railroad by an
order issued last week taking out all
the cups from their trains in Iowa.
This order also applies to the drink
ing places in the stations and de-
pots. You can either carry your own
cup or buy one from the news agents,
who will have sanitary cups for sale.
The old water tanks will remain.
