Mason City. Aug. 9.-Tho heavy rains
have occurred in several sections in
this vicinity, within a radius Of twenty
five miles, up to Friday night. no rain
had fallen in several weeks and corn
and pastures are badly in need of rain.
Harvesting and threshing is we'll under
way and farmers say grain never was
in better condition but growing crops
are suffering,
Barley and oats threshed from the
shock are as white as ever seen. Not
drop of rain has touched them and
as far as appearance goes are prime
quality for the market.
Many trees are shedding their leaves
and some are dying for want of mois-
ture. In the city many lawn trees are
being treated by tree surgeons, COM
pany of whom are, here from the Davey
Tree Expert Company Of Kent, Ohio.
These men dig trenches in circle
about the roots of the tree, fill the
trench with bone and blood meal and
lime stone, and place tile thru which
water is poured at intervals. The tile
also furnishes the free access of air.
They claim this process will save the
tree whereas 1t would die.

A horse belonging to o. S. Olson and

threshing machine at the P. NJ. Phillops
place, northeast of town. Tuesday. 1t
seems that the line became in some
way entangled in the drive belt, which
made the team attached to the lines
back up against the separator. The tail
of one of the horses thus got caught
in the cylinder shaft and before the en-
CINE could be stopped the tail was
yanked Off to within eight inches OF
the body. 1t was a frightfully painful
experience for the horse. and he fairly
writhcd in agony for several hours. 1t
is thought, however. that he will re-
cover in due time.
Randalia.
The second election on the CONSOLE
dated school question at Randalia was
held Thursday and the proposal to con-
solidate almost all of Center township
and small part Of Westfield carried by
a vote Of los to 70. At the election two
weeks before the majority had been
larger. but that election was set aside
on account of an error in describing
the limits Of the territory. The vote
in the village of Randalia stood &c to 3
in favor of the school. and in the coun-
try outside stood ~ to 20. So far as
we are informed this is the first trial
of the consolidated schoo, experiment
in Fayette county or in any county ad-
joining this. The first action to follow
will be the organizing Of the new dis
trict. after which the erection OF a four

OF widows pension to Mrs Irene Van
Dyke. Of Morning Side, to whom Judge
David Mould. of the district court,
granted a pension. The pension granted
was IS week from July JIG to Jan. 4,
1914, with optional extension by the
judge. This was at the rate Of $3.50 a
week for each OF four children. The
supervisors declined to pay the pension
because Mrs. Van Dyke owns eighty
acres OF South Dakota land. which she
asserts is unstable. Plans Of the sup
ervisors. thru County Attorney C.. N.
Jerson. to carry the case to the. state
appellate court on writ OF certiorari
have been too slow, II Is stated, so the
damage action was started. Damages
In the sum Of $24, the pension from
the week beginning July 10 to the week
beginning Aug. 8, inclusive. are asked.

Finds Employers Of state Disposed to
be Fair-courteousIy Treated.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Aug. 9-Mrs. Ellen
Rourke, state factory inspector, has
just returned from her first work in
the line of inspection for the benefit
of female workers in large establish
ments. She started the work at Sioux
City.
"Everwhere I have been we'll re-
ceived," she said. "The employers OF
labor seem to desire to do the right
thing. I believe the work will be very
interesting and important"
One Of the first things she took up
was that of providing that women
employees be provided with seats and
be permitted to sit while at work at
machines where this is possible. For
instance she found that, following
customs from time immemorial, laun-
dry workers are supposed never TO SIT
while at work. But modern machinery
has been introduced and at some OF the
machines the worker may as well SIT
as stand. These machines, however.
were made for men. and generally TOO
high for women, hence nothing mas
ever been done to provide for the seat
ing Of the female workers. In Sioux
City the inspector found what she re-
CARDS as model laundry in which the
best OF machinery is supplied ana
there is opportunity for the women to
sit while at much of the work.
Mrs. Rourke expects the next rev
months to visit most Of the larger In
dustrial centers of the state.

In Property Assessments.

In Property Assessments.
Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Aug. 9.-Cedar Rapids
business interests are entering an en-
phatic protest against what they term
Is the injustice of the recent order in
creasing assessment values in this city.
They claim the executive council has
taken an unfair advantage Of them, and
assert that unless the injustice is
remedied an appeal may be taken to
the courts. The council raised the as
sessed value Of Cedar Ra pids about 10
per cent. The assessed value of Linn
county farm property was not raised.
Figures compiled by those interested
are produced to show that the raise is
unfair. From the books Of the county
recorder it is shown, where actual sale
prices of property are given. that the
assessed value of Linn county farm is
about 40 per cent of the sale price. The
figures for the city show that the as
sessed value therein is 20 per cent Of
the sale price.
