WIVES OF DAIRYMEN
ENFORCED MILkMAIDS
Farmers In Chemung Talk Strike
Profit Too Low. Thew Saw.

Albany, July 29.-Ten hearings held
before the Wicks Investigating Com
mittes on dairy affairs. show that the
dairymen In central and southern New
York are talking Of a strike, such as
that Of last spring in Chicago. A sur
vey of 55S farms in Chemung County
showed an average labor income TO the
farmer of S277 a year The dairymen
demand higher prices.
They protested to the committee that
labor, fodder and machinery was con-
stantly going up in prace and their
narrow margin of profit had been
dwindlng for years. They declare that
if they were to get the returns OF
man in another business upon their in
vestment the big milk concerns would
have to pay them at least rs per cent
more for their product. 1t was found
that returns wer ESQ small in Delaware
County that most farmers wives took
the place Of the hirded man and did the
milking and other chores.
Ice cream was also investigated by
the committee and there are indica-
tions that Standardization of the sum
mer dessert will be sought.

If Republicans Show Great
Strength Mitchell May
Not Run.
STATE RESULT, TOO,
WILL BE A FACTOR
AT Present @. o. p. Leaders and
Independent Democrats
Favor the Mayor.

A good deal depends on the local
results Of the national and state cleo
tions this fall in calculating whether
John Purroy Mitchell will run again for
Mayor in 1917. The question has been
asked frequently In local political
circles recently. Some OF Mayor
Mitchel's close friends have gathered
the impression that he would not seek
a denomination. The Mayor himself
ia non-committal at this time.
Several Of the leaders In the New
York County Republican organization
at present look favorably on his re
nomination.

would run again" ono OF them SAID
yesterday, "but think he would take
denomination II conditions were
favorable. A good deal depends on the
vote cast locally in the elections this
fall in determining the lineup against
Tammany in 1917. Some sort of fusion
will be sought, suppose, but who the
man may be-that depends. II Charles
f. Hughes polls the big vote in TINS

nublicans may be in position to nomi-
nate a straight Republican next year
for Mayor. Under such conditions

independent Democratic vote
Koenig for the Mayor.
Samuel s. Koenig, chairman OF the
Republican County Committee, de-
c,ared that he would favor Mayor
Mitchell for another term, unless the
fall elections materially changed the
situation. He said that no Mayor

Mr.. Koenig declared that many hepuo-
icans would gladly indorse the Mayor
again on his record. =,
some of the politicians in the Dem
ocratic camp declare that the Mayor
has been farsighted In "coddling Re
publican interests" They claim that
reports BY the Washington air line

ING that he is reelected, will exert his

CATCHES ANOTHER
MARSHALLTOWN SECTION HAND
DEVELOPS INTO A REAL
SLEUTH.

Marshalltown, Jan. 14.-The pur'
pose of a supposed thief, and the cap.
ture of another one, was the unusual
situation that resulted when Charles
A. Wood, &C. & N. w. section hand
in this city, turned over to the police
Will Chase, aged 80, of this city.
Knowing that the taking of several
rolls of copper wire had been reported
at Boone, Wood gave chase to a man
seen rolling a bundle of wire near
the right-of-way. The man dropped
the wire and ran, with Wood after
him. The stranger got away, but in
his path Wood found Chase as he was
taking from a sack a pair of mittens.
Instead of aresting the man he was
after Wood took Chase and turned him
over to the police. Mittens and other
articles in the sack were identified by
F. C. Nichols, owner of the Duck-An-
derson store at Lamoille, as having
been stolen from his place of busi-
ness.
After Chase had been placed in
Jail he confided to another prisoner
that the officers did not get all of his
stuff. as he had hidden it in a brick
kiln west Of town. The prisoner told
the sheriff what Chase had said. and
officers upon visiting the kiln found
other merchandise which Nichols iden-
titled as having been stolen from his
store.

RULES THAT FIST
is DEADLY WEAPON

Des Moines, Jan. 14.-That a fist is
a deadly weapon under certain condi-
tons, was the ruling of the supreme
court in affirming the conviction of
William Sayles of Council Bluffs, on a
charge of murder in the second degree.
Sayles was given an indeterminate
sentence.
q The case is unusual. Sayles is
charged with having struck John G.
Runyan, May 7, 1914. Two hours later
Runyan died of suffocation. The ply
sicians asserted that death was due to
the injury produced on the throat by
the blow from the first. The trouble
arose when Runyan attempted to pre-
vent Sayles from taking a bicycle be-
longing to a messenger boy. The
court finds that a fist is a deadly wea-
pom under these circumstances and
that the conviction vas warranted.

IOWA ACHIEVES
UNUSUAL H0N0RS
STATE RECEIVES 100 PER CENT.
AGE OF EXCELLENCE IN
FIELD OF LITERATURE.

Iowa City, Jan. 14.--Iowa has
achieved the unusual honor Of being
rated 100 per cent excellent in a field
OF literature. F..
In his review Of the best short stor'
les Of 1915, Edward J. O'Brien, liter
airy critic Of the Boston Evening
Transcript, places every story publish
ed by the Midland during its first year
in his list Of stories Of distinction.
The Midland is the little magazine
issued by the faculty and students in
English Of the state university of
Iowa.
O'Brien grades the Midland 100 per
cent in it's literary merit. How signi.
fcant this recognition is appears ore
clearly when it is explained that such
magazines as Scribner's, Century and
Farper's rise only to ratings of II per
cent, so per CEN and sc per cent re-
spectively. Indeed, but one other
magazine, the Little Review, reaches
the standard Of the Iowa publication

Des Moines, Jan. 4.-Although tho
Iowa Blue sky law has been in opera
ton since April, 1915, only 40 permits
to sell stock and securities lin this
state have been issued under 1t. Only
one brokers license has been issued.
The state officials say that brokers
are disregarding the law. One big in
terurban company of Minnesota was
denied permission to sell securities in
Iowa because the president of the COM
pany was too stubborn to make the
proper showing to the state officials,
it Is said.
