New Sharon Star: The Oskaloosa
school board has announced that they
will hold no Star Chamber" sessions,
and that all interested are welcome
to attend. There is no more import
ant officer of the community than the
school director, and his services are
less appreciated and more often criti-
cised than any other. The patrons
in most cities frequently form mis-
construed impressions of school con-
ditions through ignorance of the facts,
due largely to lack of interest on their
own part, but too often increased by
the policy of the school board in
keeping their proceedings more or
less secret The public must be kept
informed and interested in school
matters before the directors can ex-
pect the fullest support in their work.

ON PEARL BUTTONS.

II is proposed in the Underwood
tariff bill now pending in congress TO
make material reduction In the tariff
on pearl buttons. II this proposal is
enacted into law the inevitable effect
will be the destruction of the pearl
button industry IN the, United states.
There were no pearl buttons made
in the United States prior to the pass
age of the Mckinley bill which was
passed in 1892 or 1893. Previous to
the enactment of the Mckinley law
there was imported into this country
about ss,00O,O0O annually. The Nc
Kinley law gave the necessary protec-
ton to the pearl button industry and
the business of manufacturing such
buttons was moved to the United
States. The present tariff gives man.
ufacturers of pearl buttons 11a cent
per line specific duty and 25 per cent
ad valorem duty. The proposed law
gives them 40 per cent ad valorem
and no specific duty. They feel that
they should have at least one cent a
line specific duty and about 20 per
cent ad valorem. Unless better pro-
lection is afforded them than is pro-
Fided in the Underwood bill the indus
try in this country will be destroyed.
The manufacturers will be compelled
to move to Europe, to the great detrl-
ment of the United States.
Muscatine is the chief center of the
pearl button industry in this country,
and the people there are greatly
wrought up over the danger that men
aces it, One day last week they met
in mass convention in the Grand OPP
era house. The attendance was so
large as to tax the capacity of the
theatre. A number of leading citi-
zens addressed the assemblage and all
emphasized the gravity of the situa-
ton that now faces the manufacture
of pearl. buttons in the United States.
Two plans of action were suggested,
one being that resolution be pre-
scented at Washington and the second
was that a delegation be sent to the
national capital and seek through per
sonal interviews with those promi-
nent in the democratic party relief
from the threatened condition, which
it is claimed by many will mean the
decentralization of the button business.
Oskaloosa business circles, and the
Commercial club in particular, should
petition Congressman kirkpatrick to
help save this industry in this city.
While protection is republican party
principle, we do not believe our rep
resentatiye in congress could afford
to condemn it in this instance.

IOWA CROP SERVICE
Review of the Past Week by Di-
rector of Weather Bureau.

For the week ending April 20, 1918.
Des Moines, Iowa.
Nearly a full week of bright sun
shine. with practically no rain has
started the growth of all vegetation,
put the ground in fairly good condi-
ton, and enabled farmers to do a
great amount of field work. The av-
erage temperature was about seven
degrees above the normal, and the
daily maximum temperatures ranged
from so to so degrees. Except on
low and untitled ground. where the soil
is still too wet, rapid progress was
made in seeding and blowing. The
bulk of the oats is now in, and with
favorable weather, all small grain VIII
be sown before the close OF the COM
ing week. In many localities early
potatoes have been planted, and a
good start has been made In prepar-
ing ground for corn. Grass is start
ing nicely, and is earlier than usual
although farm work is two weeks late.
Winter grains are in fine condition.
Peach and plum trees are in blossom
in the extreme southeastern counties
and all fruit trees show an abundance
OF healthy buds.

ANOTHER FAKE EXPLODED.

During the past winter there have
been persistent reports of the discov-
cry of gold and other valuable ores in
the vicinity of Albion, Pushmataha
county, Oklahoma. some finds being
reported as exceeding $50 ton and
some even as approaching value of
$500 a ton. 1t has been known in
the Interior Department that several
mining companies" have been or are
being organized on the basis of these
assertions and that many persons
have been induced to invest in the
stock. The excitement produced by
the alleged rich values has resulted in
requests for an authoritative examin-
alton of the lands and the temporary
suspension of the sales of the tracts
of Indian lands on or near which the
supposed finds were located. Al
though from its general knowledge Of
the geology of the region the Geolog-
ical Survey reported that there is no
likelihood that the area contains com
mercial quantities of gold. the reports
and the demands were SO persistent
that by direction of the Secretary of
the Interior a field examination was
maui loDt Wy VI ti 81
son, associate geologist of the Survey.
Mr.. Ferguson reports the entire abb
sence, so far as can be recognized in
the field, OF gold or other metals in
commercial quantities. There is not
the slightest indication of any vein or
lmetalliferous deposit of such charac-
ter as to increase the market value of
the land. The rocks in the region
consist of ebert, shale, and sandstone,
carrying here and there small
amounts of pyrite. which is known to
the miner as FOOLS gold. None of
the supposed rich ore, which Is gen.
orally brown or gray sandstone,
when crushed and PANIED yielded any
free gold.
The entire local excitement appears
TO be based on certain fabulously high
assays made chiefly on material dug
from wells. Assay certificates which
reported as much as 80 ounces of gold
la ton we're shown to Geologist Fergu-
son, but samples OF the supposed gold
ore. collected by him and assayed by
Ledoux & Co., OF New York, showed
less than 2 cents In gold and half a
cent IN silver 70 the ton. The assay
