The painters and psper hangers in the
city of 0ttumwa, Ia, are on strike and
the employers have been unsuccessful
in securing any competent workmen to
fill the places of the strikers. A vein
of humor enters into the situation in
some of the advertisements inserted in
the local papers for non-union workmen.
the following is a sample: Wanted
Two live paperhangers; no bill posters
need apply Notwithstanding the
strike now on. the members Of the paint
ers' union are all at work for fair en-
ployers. the employers having signed the
scale. being rushed with work. while
the non-union employers are largely in

mission, is in Chicago to attend the
meeting Of the committee appointed os
the president Of the national assocla-
ton Of railway commissioners 10 take
up with the managers OF express com
panies the matter OF revising rules anu
rates as TO intrastate commerce. N.Y.
Lewis was secretary OF the Iowa COM
mission when the drst OF the express
rate suits was fought thru that Iowa
commission. resulting in the notaoie
decision written by the late wizard
Eaton directing reduction IN express
rates IN Iowa. It vas this case "hlch
was taken into the federal court, where
Judge Mcpherson Upheld the Iowa
commission.
Mr.. Lewis viii call attention to the
fact that the express companies nave
virtually accepted the Iowa reduced
rates rs all right, FOR they were given
time BY Bishop Mcpherson to make
showing that the rates We're not com .
peusatory, as they had claimed. and
they have not TO this day made the
slightest effort to show any such fact.
They were told to file reports showins
that The rates were below cost II they
desired to pursue the matter further,
but they have never filed any showing
at all. thus accepting the decision OF
the Iowa commission.
Other states may take this as cue
as TO what can be done in those states
and thus that the low mark set for
Iowa should De the standard for many
states.

HONEY FOR CHRISTMAS
State Bee Inspector Would Make Pro.
duet Of Busy Bee DeIieaey For Every
Holiday Fsast-Iowa Rank. High rs
Producing state.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. Dee. le.-Honey for the
Christmas table as regularly as turkey
ana cranberries and plum pudding.
That IS the ideal of Frank Pellett state
bee inspector, rs he outlined his plan
for advancing the Interests Of bee keep
ers a. the state association today He
would begin al once campaign of ed
ucation Of the public as we'll as the bee
keepers. In his address as head Of the
society he made the following points:
Only one state of equal area out
ranks Iowa in the value OF bees. Iowa
far leads Colorado and other western
states of great area.
With proper announcement Iowa
will soon be first in the industry. area
considered, as a honey producing state.
Only California and Texas with their
great areas are now far ahead. New
York and Missouri are slightly ahead.
The society has secured foul brood
quarantine Law and better support for
the inspection work, also has secured
greatly increased premiums at the
state and county fairs.
TIE greatest .eeS ef the Industry in
Iowa is better understanding on the
part of the public of its Importance TO
the state and better methods of pro-
duction and marketing on the part OF
the bee keepers.
Instead Of asking for increased sup
port for bee inspection the bee keep
ers should begin a campaign Of edu-
cation to the end that the treatment OF
diseases be better understood and in
specticn be less needed as a result The
state department OF agriculture. the
state college. and other agenctes should
be enlisted in the cause Of honey pro-
6uction.
The use OF second hand honey con-
tanners should be discouraged. as tht.
has been a source OF the spread OF
much of the disease now present IN
Iowa
The society should endeavor to work
out some system Of crop distribution
that will net the producer better prices
without injury to the consumer. Too
much honey is shipped to commission
houses in Chicago to be seld tos5ob oers
who in turn sell 1t back TO the grocsrs
near.
The securing Of list OF all persons
who desire to purchase honey by the
secretary OF the association who will
place the list at the disposal OF every
member will be a step IN the right di-
rection. If grocers wishing to buy
honey know that by writing 10 the sec
rotary their wants will be placed before
hundreds of Iowa honey producers they
will readily take advantage Of the OPP
portuntiy.
A system of crop reports with view
to governing prices.
A plan Of cooperative marketing by
the members.
Campaign to establish the use OF
honey on every table for the Christmas
dinner. The salvation army and other
charities to be provided with honey for
the poor who are unable to buy for
such occasions. With a little effort
honey can be made as essential to hol-
iday dinners as cranberries are now.

Des Moines, Dec, 10-iowa farmers
harvested a crop worth more than
$37,o00,000 more this year than the
crop last year

port of DR.. George NJ. Chappen, sec
ton director OF the Iowa weather and
crop service, made to the state asrl-
cultural convention today. This IS
final result OF direct reports from every
county as to acreage. crops and values
and careful estimates as to value OF
some of the crops.
The total value of the crop is over
S42s. 900. 900, as against sSs2.o0o,ooO for
last year. This is despite season
regarded as somewhat untavorae BILE and
in some parts of the state destructive
to some OF the staple crops.
The corn yield was less than last
year but better price prevailed Po-
ta,oes alone showed a serious decline
In total value.
Report Gratifying.
The report is very gratifying IN
view of all the circumstances. The
following Is the complete report by
DR. Chappell:

ditions that prevailed during the sea-
