OUT AS PROTEST AGAINST
DISCHARGE OF ASSISTANT
POSTMASTER AND THREE EN-
PLOYES.

twenty-five clerks and carriers in the
local postoffice struck this morning
as a protest, it was said, against the
discharge of w. H. Brand, assistant
postmaster, and three other en-

Postmaster Charles H. Manley,
found on his desk this morning a
large piece of cardboard on which
was written: "Your clerks and car
riers have quit. Here are your keys"
Brand was recently dismissed on
the charge of giving assistance to ap-
plicants in civil service examina-
tions. He had been with the post
office for seventeen years. Other
charges resulted in the dismissal a
few days later of Perry Burton, Geo.
Cochran and James Hall.
Manley is a Democrat A majority
of the striking clerks and carriers
are Republicans.

Hesitates to Make Declaration.

LONDON, Nov. 17-The Greek gov

less uncompromising attitude, says
the Athens correspondent of Reuters
Telegram Company.
1t is believed to be seeking a sat
isfactory solution on the question as
to it's attitude toward allied troops
which might take refuge in the Greek
territory, although it hesitates to
make a declaration in the form de-
manded by the allies. The CORE
spondent says King Constantine has
expressed desire to see Earl Kitch-
'ener, the British secretary of war,
who is now in the Near East, and dis
cuss the situation with him from a
military standpoint.

CANDIDATES OUT
FOR CITY OFFICES
RUMOR HAS 1T THAT A NUMBER
OF CONTESTS WILL BE De
CIDED IN JANUARY.

Although the election of city Off
GERS will not be held until sometime
in January there is already talk of
"a number of interesting contests, and
ut seems probable that council will
have number to decide. This talk
1t seems, is result of the primary
held on Tuesday, when four aldermen
for the coming year We're nominated.
ana yesterday reports of number of
contests were rife; in fact two or
three announced candidates for va
rlous places are already in the field.
and the fight has merely started.
One contest which council will have
TO decide will be that of city physi-
clan, and so far two well known ply
sicians of the city are in the race
Dr. 7. f. Abercrombie, the present
city physician and health officer. will
onthe first of the year become county
health officer and, while he will still
be in charge of health affairs in the
county, at the same time it will be
necessary for him to resign as CITY
physician, and new official. who
Will, 1t appears, have charge only of
charity and such cases, will have to
be elected. Whether or not there will
be any more entrances into the con
test is not yet known, but it is gen
orally understood that DR. l. N. Bishop
and DR.. j. w. Simmons will both make
application for the place.
AS to the other city offices only
rumors are afloat at present, but if
they are really an indication of any
thing, then a majority of the present
officials will be opposed

SERBIAN ARMY IS
NEAR THE CRISIS
Passes of Importance Reported
in Control of the Bull
garians.
GREECE MAY YET ENTER
Considerable Pressure Is Being
Brought to Bear by the Allies.
New Scheme of Teutons In
augurated in the East.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE fate of the
Serbian army may be only a matter
of hours. Monastir, in southwest Ser
bia, is reported to be in such peril
GUS position that the consular officials
have departed. From the various con-
flicting reports the following appar-
emily may be deducted as facts:
The Bulgars have taken Krusevo,
and are six miles west of Perlepe.
Thus the southern Serbian army and
it's Franco-British allies re confront
ed with the imminent pelil of an out
thanking movement.
Tetovo is in the hands of the Bull
garians.
The fate of the Serbian3 holding
Babuna Pass is more obscure. One re-
port states that the pass las been
forced. 1t seems certain thai the de-
tenders are at least threatened so Sc
riously that their position soCn may
be untenable.
With Krusevo and Babuna in the
hands of the invaders, the fate OF Per
lepe would be sealed and the road to
Monastir opened.
While the military situation be-
comes darker from the standpoint of
thA allies, the diplomatic phase of the
near eastern venture is somewhat
more favorable. Greece is giving some
indication that she is seeking a solu-
ton of the problem, which would be
presented if entente troops should
take refuge on Grecian territory.
1t is clear that the allies are bring
ing considerable pressure to bear on
Greece, not the least of which is Eng
lands detention in home ports of a
fleet of Greek merchantmen. Greek
shipping is making enormous profits
out of the war, and even a temporary
check of it's activities would mean a
great loss.
Along the eastern front interest cen
ters ON the attempted recrossing of
the Styr, where the Austrians and
Germans claim an important success.
Petrograd reports merely admit
Austro- German occupation of the vii
lage of Podgacie, about five miles
from the river and a slight advance
east of that place.
1t is asserted the advantage gained
by the Teutonic forces is due to the
arrival of reinforcements from other
sections of the eastern front and
heavy artillery brought up by railroad.
From the conflicting reports it may
be seen that the east bank of the Styr
is held by the Russians, while the
battle of the crossings is still unde-
cided
Reports from the western front in
dicate that military activities there
are limited to rather general artillery
exchanges.

Township Meeting Places.

A good many farmers OF Iowa may
not know it, but there is law per-
hitting townships to tax themselves
for the erection and maintenance of
a township hall for township meet
ings of all kinds. The object is to
make these halls a kind of cOmmun-
ity center. The people of the country
are surely entitled to something of
this kind. Where consolidated schools
have been provided these may serve
the purpose but even then township
structure centrally located is one of
the modern ideas of making rural
life more attractive to old and young
alike. Farmers will flock to public
sales by the hundreds, not that they
want to buy anything but simply be-
cause it affords an opportunity for
meeting other farmers from different
neighborhoods. 1t is the social in
stinct that attracts. Why not provide
place where farmers and their fam
lilies may mingle in social converse
occasionally and at stated times have
debates, literary exercises, spelling
matches and the like.
The law permitting the construc-
ton of township halls authorizes
THE trustees on a petition OF a ma
pority of the resident free holders of
any civil township submit the ques-
ton Of building public hall to the
electors thereof, by posting notices
of such election in four conspicuous
places in the. township, thirty days
before the election, and the forms of
the proposition shall be: Shall the
proposition to levy tax for the erec-
ton of public hall be adopted?'
If the proposition carries, the
trustees certify the necessary tax to
the county board.
The trustees select the site to ac-
commodate the most people and not
more than one hundred dollars may
be paid therefor.
The trustees have charge of the
building, receive bids, etc.
The township clerk under direc-
tion of the trustees, is custodian of
the building, and is clothed with the
authority and powers of a constable.

No Profit in Dollar Wheat.

A dispatch from Seymour, Ind,
quotes farmers as saying there is no
profit in wheat at 81 a bushel. 1t
costs $12.37 an acre to produce
wheat, all processes from seeding the
ground to marketing the grain in
Guided, and the average yield is
twelve and a half bushels to the acre.
1t is improbable that wheat at any
thing less than dollar will ever
again be profitable to American
farmers, who must pay increasing
taxes and labor bills, comments the
Louisville Courier-Journal. The OBJ
vious remedy for the condition de-
scribed in Indiana is the increase of
yield, as county agent Cobb at Scy-
mour points out. But it would re-
quire a greater increase than per-
haps is possible in actual farming ex-
perience, to get the yield high
enough for wheat to be generally and
regularly profitable at less than 81.
The production of small grain is
attended by vicissitudes. Sundry con-
ditions may operate to depress the
yield below the capacity of the soil
in ideal circumstances. Wet weather
at harvest time, and between harvest
and threshing often damages the
quality of the grain. The thresher
does not always clean it perfectly.
There's many slip 'twixt the SOW
ing of wheat and the marketing of
the crop. The farmer who gets to
the mill was top grade grain and gets
the market price is fortunate. Those
whose wheat does not fully meet
milling requirements must accept
the reduction proposed by the buyers
or feed the grain on the farm.
Farmers always will sell in
market stage managed to get the
crop into stronger hands at low
prices. Lacking storage facilities
and a surplus in bank, or ability to
borrow without the expense and dan
ger of a mortgage, the average farm
er is easy game for the financially
prepared buyer. If he can increase
the yield to the English level he can
make profit upon his capital and
man and mule labor, at the same
time increasing his capital by the up
building of soil fertility. But as
long as he sells dollar wheat" often
selling an inferior grade at cut
rates in a dollar market, he will
find wheat growing a risky passage
between Scylla and Charybdis, rath-
er than broad road to bonanza.

A small crowd had gathered to wit
ness the departure of the brothers
They spoke to acquaintance and
seemed glad to get out into the open
air of the country again. Neither of
the men had anything to say regard
ing their future plans, beyond the
fact that they were going to their
aunt's home. They were practical
ly free men from early that morning,
but remained around the prison until
their citizens clothing had been fin
ished.
The liberation of the men, convict
ed of Staying Enoch Johnson, the
father-in-law of Frank Rainsbarger,
in Hardin county in 1884, into the
world, after Imprisonment for so
long, is the elimination of practical
ly continuous efforts since 1905. to
obtain their release. 1t is also
thought to be the closing chapter IN
one of the states most famous muir
der cases. Nathan Rainsbarger is 81
years old, and Frank SIS. They were
"a and q years of age respectively,
when the supreme court affirmed the
conviction. The pardon will become
absolute after three years If the men
are law abiding.
The murder of Johnson, whose
body was found on a public highway
in Grant township, Hardin county,
one morning in November 1884, fol-
lowed a long period of outlawry dur
ing which citizens of the vicinity mad
been terrorized. Johnson had been
arrested on the charge of counter
feiting, and his release had been et-
fected through bond signed by the
Rainsbargers. Immediately AFTER
ward, the testimony in the case
showed, they began getting out in
surance on his life, until total OF
$16,5OO had been secured. 1t was
following this that Johnson suddenly
disappeared, his mangled body being
found later. 1t was statement or
Mrs. Frank Rainsbarger which caus-
ed the arrest of the men.
Some delay in the release of the
Rainsbargcrs was caused by the fail
ure of the reformatory tailors to get
their citizens clothing finished.
Warden McClaughery said the broth
ers were reticent as to their future
course, fearing that personal enem-
les, believed to have been responsible
for former failures to secure pardons
will frame up circumstances
against them with view to obtain
ing their recommitment to the prls-
on. 1t was stated, however, tina
they expected to go to the home of
an aunt at Iowa Falls for the i'm
mediate future.
