AN AUTOMATIC
CROSSING PROTECTOR
Device Made by Local Men to Avoid
Accidents on Railroad
Crossings.

F. e. Brown and son, B. r. Brown,
of the Brown Spring Skate company
have brand new invention, model
of which was displayed in this office
this morning. The device is an au-
tomato railroad crossing protector,
and for simplicity of construction
and practical effectiveness, it GER
tainly looks like winner.
AS depicted in the working model,
the device is attached to the Ordi-
nary steel rail, perhaps distance of
a hundred yards from the crossing.
With the weight of the approaching
engine upon it, the contriyance au-
dramatically causes to be let down
across the roadway slender bars with
Ia bell or flag attachment.
The tracks may be equipped with
the device at various distances from
the crossing or on either side. Mr..
Browns idea is to place two on each
side, one perhaps a hundred yards
back and another still farther in the
rear. With all railroad crossings fur
nished with this automatic protector,
which is simple enough in its con-
struction as to be easily looked after
by the regular section hands, it
would seem as though crossing acci-
dents could be reduced to a minimum,
aside from an enormous saving, to
the railroad companies in watchmen
hire and other means now used to
protect traffic at these points.
Mr.. Brown has written the presi-
dents of several large railroads, ask
ing If they would be interested in
such device as he has invented, and
has already received replies from
each, asking for model and full de-
tails regarding the new protector. A
patent has been applied for, and as
seon as it is received by the Webster
city firm. negotiations will be begun
with some OF the leading railroad
officials. @2tNtsa s59 :,a'st,i:
1t looks to an outsider as though
the Messrs. Brown had a gold mine
in the idea which they haveS worked
out for the effective protection Of
railroad crossings throughout the
country. It's application will serve
not only to reduce the annual ex-
pense Of the railroad companies, but
be the efficient savior Of lives un-
numbered.

IOWA GUARDSMEN DO
NOT HAVE TO PAY
Cannot Be Sued for Debt During
Term Of War and for Six
Z II Months Thereafter.

Des Moines, July 1.-Two impor.
tant measures affecting the enlisted
men were passed by the last legisla.
ture and are now in effect, one ex.
empting the man who joins the col
ors from payment Of debts during the

pendents pensions which will be

in the regular army are not included
in the beneficiary" list, but they
do come under the law exemptine
them from debts.
The moratorium law is as follows:
"All soldiers and sailors and other
persons in the military or naval SER
vice of the government of the United
States, or who may hereafter enter
such service during the present war,
are hereby exempted while in such
service and for period of six months
after the termination of the war, or
for said service or death, from pay
ment of any bill of exchange, or any
negotiable instEument, or of any 9TH
er payment in pursuance of any con-
tract or from any writ of attachment
or execution"
The homesteads of all soldiers or
sailors are exempt from taxes during
the term of service in the present
war. If they have no homestead,
other property to the actual value of
$4,000 is exempt.
The pensions to the dependent rel
atives of national guardsmen will be
paid out OF the million dollar war
appropriation. With the approval
Of Governor Harding. a sum of $40 q

TO BRING FARMER AND
. FARM HAND TOGETHER
Farmers National Bank Has Taken
Up the Work at Request of
the Government.

The Farmers National Bank OF
this city has volunteered to act as q
farm labor bureau to help the farm
ers in this vicinity, as we'll as those
who want to work upon farms, in, get
ting together. The agricultural de-
partment at Washington suggests
and recommends that farm labor
bureau be established in every COM
munity throughout the country. The
work in connection with carrying out
the idea will be done gratuitously by
the bank. simply to help those who
desire farm laborers and those who
want to work upon farms Farmers
who want help and those who will
work upon farms can register their
names at the bank and the problem
of supplying the farmer with labor
will be largely solved.
During the past few days the bank
officials have secured helpers for
farmers in several instances by
knowing of hands who desired work
on farms and farmers who wanted
helpers. BY making the plan more
public and informing all interested
in it, the bank hopes to be in posi-
tion to supply the farmers with help
whenever they need it.
