MR.. BRUNSWICKITE ARE.
YOU CHAUTAUQUA WISE!

Maurice VI. WitherspOon, last years
all-American football player from
Washington and jefferson. has come
10 town. not to play football, but TO
boost the chautauqEa which opens
here April p.
Mr.. WitherspOOn has spent the past
four summers in chautauqua work, he
has heard all kinds of talent. good,
bad and Indifferent. No program. he
claims, has ever been gotten together
which will in any way equal the one
the Redpath people are putting on
this year.
He further states that there is not
weak number on the program, which
from beginning to end is filled with
the best lecturers, musicians and hui
morists this country affords.
When you think for movie picture
prices you can hear the best this
country offers, one can scarcely keep
from going, for that is what it amounts
to virtually as the ID. A. X. and Kings
Daughters are selling season tickets
at $3.50 which admit TO the entire
q numbers, which makes an aver
age of IL cents number.
For this price you can hear men
like William Rainey Bennett. whose
speech has been received with the
greatest applause all over the country

and who il today conceded to be the
greatest popular lecturer in America
You can hear men like DR.. f. T. Hage
man. who has ben ranked a close
second to DR.. Cunsanlers as the great
est preacher in the country.
You can hear musical numbers
equal to any in the country. such as
the Nine White Hussars," the Shu
man quintet, the Killarney Girls OF
the Weatherway brothers.
You can see such plays as THE Pa
IRISH Players" pr on and which made
such wonderful hit in Chicago during
the past winter. Lastly you can hear
Nine. Julia Claussen, one of Americas
greatest prima donna grand opera
stars.
She sang before crowded houses
many times during the past winter in
Chicago. Minneapolis and many of the
largest cities.
In commenting upon her the Chica
go papers rs body voted her the
best of the season, and none of them
can understand how the Redpath chau

SHORTAGE GREATEST IN MANY
MONTHS, SAYS STATE EN-.
PLoYMENr BUREAU.
NOT ABLE TO MEET
DEMANDS OF EMPLOYERS
One Iowa Factory Alone Sends Call
For SEQ Men to Work in Foundry and
Machine Shops - Farmers Offering
Big Money For Harvest Hands-Pay-
ing $3.50 Per Day, Board, Washing.
Times Replblican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Aug. Mot for many
months has there been such a labor
shortage in Iowa as now exists, the
state free employment bureau reports.
Higher wages are now beng offered
for common labor, farm work and fac
tory work than for some time. The
state free employment bureau has been
on it for workers WITHIN the past sew
eral days.
Saturday. the bureau received word
from an Iowa factory that it wanted
800 men at once for foundry and ma
chine shop work. 1t is offering 70
cents to 40 cents per hour for work.
men and will give steady employment
the year round to men FOUND satIsfac-
tory.
In Des Moines alone 100 iaborers on
the new paving work being done are
wanted. the wages being 70 cents pei
hour for nine hours per day or $2.25
per day.
Big Pay For Harvest Hands.
Farmers are offering big money for
harvest hands AS much as $3.50 per
day with board, room and washing is
being offered for harvest hands Farm
laborers in general are wanted and $40
per month the year round and board
is offered in some instances. Common
labor is in demand all over the state.
In statement issued today the
bureau said: The bureau has been
unable to fill all applications for help
the past month owing to lack Of APP
piicants. There is great demand for
common laborers and farm hands and
all who are seeking employment are
again urged to file applications at
once"
There are many contributing causes
to the labor shortage. The principal
one Of course is that the immigration
from the old country has been small
since the European war opened in the
latter part of July, 1914. In fact many
foreigners left this country for their
old homes to join the armies when
war was declared. Then the sending
OF the national guard troops to the
border has taken out Of Iowa over
$500 young men and similar numbers
have gone from the other states. Har-
vests are heavy in Iowa and harvest
hands are needed more than in the
ordinary season. There is an unusual
amount of paving and similar WOE
being done in the towns and cities Of
the state and considerable building.
All of these factors contribute to the
shortage of labor.
Whether or not there will be much
immigration following the war seems
to be a disputed question. European
countries however, will make great
effort to keep their workers at home to
develop their depleted industries and
work their farms.

Romance 10 Spoiled.

There is Il mound of earth In st.

the noon hour to eat their lunches.
Among these regular frequenters OF
the place there has been much Specula-
ton as to the meaning of this new

An occurrence that caused a great

the moment. when a noise was heard
by Mrs. Smith, who was at the next
neighbours, and she went home to in

saw a large bull snake among the
dishes on the pantry rail. He had
evidently tumbled one of the plates off

Iowa City, Aug, "a thrilling es-
cape from grave injuries, if not death
itself was that of a party Of Mechan-
icsville tourists, when an Iowa City
Electric Railway Company car collided
with the big new Twin Six Packard"
of Charles E. Rhoads, on a street cor
ner in Iowa City, Sunday afternoon.
In the auto were six people and,
phenomenally, only Mrs. Rhoads was

was damaged. Mr.. Rhoads. his son,
Forrest. who was driving, and his two
other sons, Frank and Howard, and

were not injured.
Mrs. Rhoads was given first aid' and
then taken to Mercy hospital X-ray
skiagraphs were taken. and they now
show that her right hip, tho badly
bruised. is not broken. 1t is believed
that she will be able to leave the hos
pital in day or two. The other five,
tho they may remain here, are quite
able to return home at any time. The
escape of all from death or mangling,
at least, was spectacular.

SOLDIER BOYS MAY VOTE.
Guardsmen on Border Will Be Pc.
nitted to Use Absent Voters Ballot.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Aug. Iowa soldiers
on the border will not lose their vote
this fall nor will 1t be necessary to call
an extra session Of the legislature to
provide means for them to vote as was
the case here in Iowa in 1852, during
the course of the civil war. The lows
men can vote by means of the absent
voters ballot. Apparently this is wise
provision and will make it possible for
the soldier boys to vote at a much less
expense to the state than in the civil
war days.
On Sept. 3, 1852, an extra session Of
the Ninth general assembly was held
and law passed which made it posi-
BILE for the Iowa regiments to conduct
an election within their own regiments.
Each regiment carried on an election
on election day in much the same
manner as tho they were at home.
Judges of election were chosen and
ballots were cast just as they would
have been at home. Then the judges
canvassed the returns and reported
them to the state officials.
