COAL $3.50 AT DIES MONIES.

Prices Less Than $3.50.

Des Moines, oct. 3O.-The price Of
soft coal jumped from s. to $3.50 in
Des Moines to day.
There are two reasons given by the
dealers:

operations an increase OF 40 cents ar the
mine
(2) Iowa miners have been granted
n wage increase of $l:40 a day by viz
tue of All agreement entered into sat
urday by a joint arbitration committee
of workers OF District 10, United Nine
Workers OF America, and the Coal
Operators association OF Iowa
The new price contemplated-So.o
will incorporate not only President
Wilson's raise but also the increased
wages to be received by Iowa miners
according to Frank Dole OF the Car
bon Coal Company.
Altho the presidents order only pro-
vides for a Ascent increase at the
mines. local dealers assert they must
boost the retail price five cents to
cover the cost OF handling and the like.
II we sold for the same price we
bought we wouldn't last very long,

Vaccination by a veterinarian seems
to be fairly successful in preventing
spread of the disease. Experimental
vaccinations reported to the veterin-
airy division at Iowa State College in
1916 showed that out of 1851 animals
vaccinated in herds in which the dis
ease was presented, only 81, or about
one-fourth of one per cent died.
There does not seem to be any
ground for the belief that eating Of
corn stalks will cause the disease. The
association of corn stalks with tho dis
ease is probably due to the fact that
the corn stalk season Is also one of
the seasons for the disease.

freight rates and the length Of the
haul. However, the $3.50 price may
be regarded as fairly stable, as it is
said to represent cost Of production
and handling plus the average freight
rate.
The foregoing figure is by no means
final, however. Uncle Sam is going
to fix a retail price for Des Moines,
but thus far has not announced 1t.
Whatever the governments action may
be, the consumer can not hope to buy
