TO IMPROVE BUILDING
Friends Mission on North b Street
Will Spend About 500.

The people of the Friends North H
street church, known as the Friends
Mission, decided on last Wednesday
night at their regular business meet
| Ing, to undertake at once some much
needed repairs and improvements on
their church building. They were en-.
couraged to undertake the work, by
the receipt some time ago, of a gen
erous gift from one who was former
ly associated with the work at that
place, but who is now a resident Of
another county. The contemplated
work includes some new roofing, some
excavation work., the installing of a
hot air furnace, fitting up an unfinish
ed portion of the building for use as
class rooms for the Bible school,
painting and papering. The interest
already manifested among the MEM
bers is encouraging and a campaign
will be started at once to procure the
balance of the funds necessary for
the work. II is estimated that $500
or 500 will be needed to complete
the work.
J. NJ. Lennon, A. j. Fryhoff and j.
G. Shinofield were appointed as the
soliciting and building committee and
the purpose is to begin work as soon
as the necessary funds are in hand
This is the only English speaking
white church located on the west side
of the M. e. st. L. Railway.

THE 0. K. GIVEN
BY PRESIDENT
WILSON THINKS STATE SHOULD
GIVE VOTE TO WOMEN.
WILL VOTE FOR AMENDMENT
Secretaries Garrison and TumuitJ
Who Are Also New Jerseyites,
Will Also Aid at Election
October 10.

Washington, Oct. 4.-President VII
son will vote for the woman suffrage
amendment to the state constitution
of New Jersey at the election to be
held October 10.
Secretary Garrison and Secretary
Tumulty, who also are Jerseyites.
will do likewise.
The women have been endeaYoring
for months to induce Mr.. Wilson to
declare his position on the equal bal
lot proposal, but their efforts proved
fruitleSs.
The president resented the attempt
to force his hand, particularly that
made by the Woman's Congressional
Hnion.
1t will be recalled that last winter a
delegation of women representing the
union was received by the president
In order to obtain from him an express
sion on his views on the suffrage
amendment to the federal Constitu-
fion.
At that time Mr.. Wilson indicated
that the matter was one for determine
ton by the states rather than by the
nation, and promised to make his po-
sition clear before the New Jersey pri-
mRries.
No statement has been made by the
president as to what he intends to do,
but Secretary Tumulty indicated that
his chief would support the New Jer-
sey amendment. Secretary Garrison
made statement just before his de-
parture from the city indicating that
he would vote for the amendment. He
said suffrage would do no harm, and
added that it might take the matter
out of the limelight and let other is
sues of greater moment receive the at
tention of the people.

Rock Island Should Build From
Knoxville to Melcher.

| D, The depression in the coal trade Sc
! far as it affects the local mines, es
pecially those contributory to the
Rock Island lines from Washington
and Knoxville, and from Des Momes
to Keokuk, still continues with no
signs of relief in the immediate fu.
ture, says the Knoxville Journal.
The two Marion county mines thus
affected are No. 3 of Knoxville and
the Anderson mine, Az miles south.
east of town. Anderson has not put
in enough time to make a full weeks
work since the middle of August,
(partially due to a washout on the
railroad SWITCH, and the miners at
No. 3 are sliding along the best they
may on an average of about two days
per week. The mining force at both
places have been dwindling rapidly
during the present month, the miners
leaving in flocks for Abba, Hiteman,
Melcher, Charlton, and elsewhere 1t
Is doubtful If the two mines are now
employing as many men as either one
did at Christmas time in 1914. No.
3 ran up to 1000 and $500 tons per
week eight months ago, whereas a
1000 tons or little better now sup
ply the trade.
- - -
The slump in mine work in the vi.
entity of Knoxville is said to be due
to the expense of getting the output
onto the through lines of the Rock
Island--No. and Anderson being in
pocket at the end of the Washing
ton branch, necessitating a back haul
before the coal can be put on track
that will take it to the western con-
sumers. most of the east Iowa con-
sumers being supplied from Illinois.
Electra (the Melcher mine) is on one
of the main lines, north and south,
with easy connections to the west
Consequently the work is good at
that place where 225 miners are now
sending ont 5000 to $500 tons per
week. Those who have figured on
the situation say that the only pros
pect of ever lettering local mining
conditions is to bring enough force
to bear on the Rock Island company
to have the Knoxville end of the road
extended to the southwest to a con-
nection with the short line at a point
eight or ten miles southwest of town.
Why don't Knoxville get busy and
boost for immediate extension?
