To Establish a Trade School

E. E. Bailey and wife returned Sat.
urday morning from Sioux City where
they had been attending the Third
Animal Convention of Master House
Painters and Decorators of Iowa. This
association at three years of age stands
third in membership in the United
States and is doing some great work
One thing, it is establishing the open
shop plan in the cities of Iowa, which
will give the contractors chance to
conduct his own business without the
dictation of the Unions.
Another and very important thing it
has undertaken is to establish Trade
school for painters, paper hangers and
decorators in the state, something
every business man and property owner
as well as all parents should be interest
ed in, and the Association thinks the
only solution of the apprenticeship of
today. There will be two days meet
ing in Ames Immediately following the
New Year. Use of buildings given
free of charge, by the Authorities of
Ames College" for the purpose OF
creating more interest toward a Trade
School in the state. Everybody has a
cordial invitation TO attend this meet.
ing. The next or Fourth Annual Con.
vention will be held in Davenport IN

Miss Whittier. who was buried here
last week, held its final meeting last
Friday afternoon in Chicago to further
consider evidence and to render a YER
dict in the case. A. G Harmon, coro-
ner of Audubon county wrote the

~Replying to your communication of
the 23rd inst, beg to state that the in
quest over the body of Marthina Win.
theirs was concluded today and the
verdict rendered was one of suicide
while temporarily insane. The facts
briefly stated are these:
On July 18th at about 12;30p. IN. the
body of the deceased was found hang
ing to fence post in a field about one
mile northwest from Oak Forest in
this county The article used as q
means of strangulation was piece of
her skirt which was tied around her
neck and suspended from the top of a
fence post. No other marks Of violence

tie the enemy was throwing hundreds OF
shell and solid shot into our lines on
cemetery hill, and a clasp of the hand
of those brave men not ashamed Of
dinned eyes, not in sorrow but IN Joy
for the ACHIEVEMENTS of the past. An
other enjoyment was TO meet the men
of the south and shake hands and each
say God bless you and yours, the war
is indeed over and we each are glad of
the way il terminated
In conclusion l will say that the
changes have mentioned are the only
difference that call to mind of the
great battlefield, so wildly was the
situation fixed on my mind at the time
of the awful battle. / also wish to say
that the government did good job
feeding the 10000 and more old veter-
ans camped on the grounds over which
we fought 80 years. ago The fare con-
sisted of bread, steak, butter, potatoes,
cabbage, evaporated apples, 'apricots,
beans aud pork, and one or two morn
ings rolled oats. Not all of this one
meal, but at different meals.
Sanitary conditions were good as
nothing was allowed to remain about
the mess tent or the grounds hut all
garbage was consumed in a fire near
each mess tent into which the veterans
were requested to throw anything left
over from the meals.
Respectfully,

Auto Breaks Down With Democrats

Some of the enthusiastic democratic
bretheren wanted to show Gov. Glenn,
of North Carolina every courtesy pos
sible while he was in the city Monday.
After his lecture at the tent in the
evening he was invited to take an auto
mobile ride, but the boys got to talking
so much politics and were so jubhant
over their success last November that
one of the hind tires exploded and the
party was compelled to come to town
on the rim. Tuesday morning he was
again invited to take an auto ride and
only consented to go on condition that
they would agree to refrain from men
tioning politics and would promise to
get him TO the depot in time to take his
train for Harlan.

The Noisy Automobile

The new automobile law requires
that mufflers on all automobiles and
motorcycles be closed when the engines
are running within incorporated cities
and towns. This is good law and
should be strictly forced. There is no
sense or reason in running a machine
in town with the cut-out open. Some
drivers crank their car with a wide
open throttle and cut-out and the
deafening noise which follows is an
intolerable nuisance and prohibited by
law. The comfort and satisfaction in
motoring is to operate your machine
quietly and smoothly The man who
tries to attract the attention of every
body within half mile by the upearth-
ly clatter of an open exhaust and racing
engine is not motorist but nuisance
and should ~ suppressed.
