In order to relieve the restitution
of hundreds of Jews who are strand

announced yesterday it has forward

the Japan Advertiser of Yokohama,
$1,000 with which to lease a suit

the Far East representative to

row and measure up your hay and
get any information that may be
needed and turn it over to COM
petent attorney. The attorney will
send his bill to me. You try to
forget your troubles"
Not long afterward an employee
of another line in the city was
elected from his house because, on
account of illness in the family, he
was behind in his payments. Mr..
Bamberger saw an account of the
affair in newspaper he was read
ing while on his way home from
Ogden the same afternoon.
Upon reaching Salt Lake Mr..
Bamberger rushed to telephone
and called up his representative at
Ogden. aai
"You saw that story about Mr..
- in the paper this afternoon
he queried. ''Well, you hunt him
up right away and see that he is
cared for. Go down to the viaduct
and pick out the best house there
(the houses were the ones bought
as result of the complaint at the
construction of the viaduct), have
it repapered the first thing tomor-
row morning, put ton of coal in
the shed, order a hundred pounds
of flour, a bushel Of potatoes and
anything else the family may need.
When it's done tell Mr.. to
move in and stay as long as he
likes, and charge it all to my per-
sonal account"
In every charitable movement he
always is in the front rank. But
the big amounts opposite his name
on the subscription lists represent
only a small share of what he really
did. Probably the. bulk of his char
liable work will remain unknown
unless made public by those whoy
received the benefit of it. F

Petrograd.- The unexpected Sue
cess of the Bolsheviki, it is feared,
has rendered the position of the
Russian Jews very precarious ac-
cording to the local socialist papers.
Pogroms are expected in all parts

ports, hundreds of women and chill
dren and few aged men have been
trying to get their relatives and
friends in this country, and they
have been coming by way of China
and Japan. Some have come
through, but majority have been
unable to continue their journey.
Secretary of State Lansing mott
fled the Immigrant Aid Society that
these Jews are in deplorable con-
dition. The investigation made by
the United States Consul at Yoko-
hama, showed that many of them
have been exploited, and that they
have been left absolutely without
means
The following letter has been re-
ceived by Mr.. Lansing:
Zone man, 15o women, and 10
children, Jewish refugees, are in this
port awaiting transportation to the
United States in order to rejoin rela-
tives. They are poorly fed, quarters
crowded, and unsanitary. Exploit
cases in the matter of the exchange
of moneys, purchasing transporta-
ton, and hotel accommodations,
have occurred among them. No
white slave cases authenticated.
More than 1000 immigrants en-
route to Yokohama are held in Har-
bin lacking accommodation. * * *
The number arriving is increasing
steadily, at the present moment ex-
ceeding steerage accommodation
on all steamers plying to North
America"
Advices received by the Immi-
grant Aid Society show that the
need is urgent and that already the
charitably inclined in Yokohama
have been heavily taxed to keep
these hundreds Of women and chill
dren from actual starvation. In the
Platter city 100 persons we're found
living in nine rooms in house in
a squalid neighborhood. In China
town house, the investigators found
twelve persons living in small
room. In another were crowded a
mother and her six children.

SOME NEW YEARS THOUGHTS.
The lay Used to be Time for Max.
ing Good Resolutions.

1t is sometimes said that you can
judge Of peoples characters by the
use they make of their leisure time.
The New Years celebration might
be regarded in the same way. Peo-
pie who are worshipfully inclined at
| tend watch meetings. They open
their hearts to the spiritual feeling
Of the hour. 1t is an imaginative
moment, as one thinks Of the vast
cycles of eternity, and the compile
ton Of one more yearly journey Of
our earth about its accustomed
path. The moment suggests the
immansity of the universe, the infin-
ity of the fret and fever of this life.
Those who are bent on gaiety
watch the old year out. They blow
horns, eat and drink overmuch, and
dance until they are footsore and
leg weary. Enjoyed in spirit Of
temperate moderation, these frolics
may be useful break in the monot-
ony of life. Frequently they are
principally notable as creators of
headaches.
| New Years used to be time for
making good resolutions. The eX-
lpression turning over a new leaf"
was favorite one. The idea has
been vastly ridiculed. Certainly the
man who can make good resolutions
only once a year stands little chance
of accomplishing anything. Still
thare are many people Of hesitating
and uncertain impulses who have
been helped by the idea of fresh
start.
There is something rather exhilar-
ating about the idea of a new begin
ming on January /. 1t suggests the
mystery and the possibilities of the
future. To many of us 1917 will
bring great changes. 1t will opeh
new vistas of opportunity, and it
will bring losses now mercifully
hidden. But the joy should out
weigh the sorrow in all normal
minds. So here's a HAPPY NEW
YEAR TO ALL"

THE JANUARY FIRST BILLS.
New Year Season Marred by Shove,
of Bills That Usually Come at
This Time.

For many people any pleasure
that may attach to the New Year
season is marred by the shower OF
bills that usually comes in at that
time. 1t is a period when creditors
are unusually active. They look ov-
Ter their books with the beginning of
La twelvemonth, send out statements
for every delayed account, and write
a great many dunning letters. 1t
lis period of storm and stress for
debtors.
Many persons throw anything that
they recognize as bill into the waste
basket unread and unopened. They
are naturally sahguine and have lit
tie conception of the obligation Of a
debt. They intend to pay some
time" but that Sometime" never
comes. They always have bouyant
hopes that some good fortune win
turn up enabling them to satisfy all
creditors and start anew.
These strokes of good fortune
however do not turn UP for happy
go lucky people. They are the logi-
cal sequence of hard work and meth
odical business methods. The pre-
paration for them is laid long time
beforehand by persistent applica-
tions. Debt paying people are the
kind that strike unexpected wind
falls.
Therefore let everyone start out
this January to make better rec
ord. If one cannot clean up his
1915 accounts. IL is sign that his
expenses have been too large. A
strict measure Of economy may be
|distastAful, but 1t is the only honest
way. To live under condition OF
practical bankruptcy ought to be SO
hateful condition that almost any
|frugalities would be better.
Many people have had misfortunes
and OF course cant Pay. Others
would gladly pay il they could col
lect what other people owe them.
But if everyone would pay who
could. new wave of business
would sweep the town.

Claude Morton Chairman.

The Winneshiek board OF super
yisors met yesterday for their Janu-
ary session and have lot of work TO
do in settling UP things of the old
year and getting ready for the new.
After the board convened yesterday
and the matter of the chairmanship
of the board for the ensuing year
was taken up, the honor was con-
ferred upon Claud Morton, the
popular and efficient member from
the third district. Mr.. Morton has
been on the board for the past six
years and has been a good, square,
conservative official. He declined
to run for reelection last fall, and
has one year left to serve on the
board, and this recognition in elect
ing him chairman for the ensuing
year is an honor worthily bestowed.
The retiring chairman j. P. Kuhn
filled the chair in most satisfac-
tory manner the past year, and gave
the best of satisfaction in all things
being good, conservative official.

MAIL BY AIR ROUTE.
Carrier Gets Big Salary From Uncle
Sam.

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 2S.-Earl L.
Byers, nephew of II. w. Byers, for
mer attorney general Of Iowa, and
now corporation counsel for Des
Moines, has one of the most unusual
contracts ever let by the United
States government. Earl Byers has
agreed to carry mail by aeroplane
over a route in Alaska at compen-
sation of $49,500 annually.
Byers will make two trips each
week bstween Nome Alaska, and q
camp 3S1 miles inland. He will car
ry mail and passengers and the SER
vice he will render will bring the
mining camp three weeks nearer the
outside world.
The difficulties which the young
Iowan faces are in keeping with the
high salary he will receive. The
country over which he will fly is
tracts On which to make a landing
in case his engine should not work
properly or ''go dead" In winter
the snowfall is between twenty-five
and thirty feet and hughe drifts form
Even should Byers aeroplane make
a safe landing in the snow between
terminals, it would be impossible for
the operator to get away again.
All of these possible troubles wer :
considered by Byers before he took
the contract. On trial trip he car
ried four passengers, the weight be-
ing 1000 pounds. He is <using a
Curtiss tractor, with various ideas
in aerial. navigation worked out by
himself to meet conditions in Alas
ka.
The United States government has
made only one or two contracts for
the carrying of mail by aeroplane.
Owing to the fact that Byers will re-
ceive nearly $4,000 for his work
the cost of postage over the route,
and passenger fares will be high.
The service, however, will do away
with three weeks trip over a trail.
which formerly was the only way to
reach Nome from the inland camp.

PIONEER CITIZEN PASSES.
j. III. Mackenstad, Well known Tail
or Passed Away Friday.

John Henry Maekenstadt, another
one of Decorah's well known and
highly respected pioneers, passed
away last Friday at his home on che
West Side, after an illness of nearly
twelve weeks, having suffered "A
stroke of paralysis
The deceased was born in Deep
holtz, Germany, June 81, 1871, and
came to America in May, 1851, and
to Decorah the following August.
He was tailor by trade and started
in business in Decorah on his arriv-
al here and for fifty years he was
one of the well known merchant
tailors of this place and northeast
ern Iowa. He retired from the busi-
ness few years ago.
On Aug. /, 1864, in this city, he
was united in marriage to jeanette
Stevens, and the family home had
been here ever since. Five children
were born to the union, all of whom
with the bereaved wife and mother
survive. They are Fred H., Wag-
ner, S. d., Albert, Platte, S. D.; Mrs.
Jerusha Hislop, Decorah; Charles
Jasper, Mimi, and Roger c., Dixon,
Mont. --~-.-
The deceased was an excellent
citizen during his long life here, a
man who enjoyed the high respect
of all. He was educated in Deep
holtz and Braham, Germany, where
he learned his trade of tailoring,
and during his days in the business
he was one of the best tailors in
this section of the state. He was a
man who did everything for the
betterment and upbuilding of the
city he called home for so many
years, and was honored by election
to the city council and served with
honor. He was a member also Of
the Masonic bodies Of this city for
4s years. joining in January 1865.
In his passing tue community loses
a fine citizen, and the sympathy OF
many friends is extended to those
left behind to mourn his departure.
The funeral services were held
Sunday at two O'Clock from the
hatne, Rev. NJ Willett of the Cen
gregational church officiating, the
funeral being in charge of the Ma
sons, who attended in a body The
interment was in Phelps cemetery.

WILSON SIGNS FERRIS BILL.
New Homestead Law Allows $40
Acres for Settlement. Big In
crease in Cattle Raising
Expected in West.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 90
President Wilson late today signed
the Ferris bill opening up '64O-acre
homesteads for stock raising ami
grazing purposes. 1t is accounted
OF great Importance to the western
states.
The bill passed the house year
ago, the senate on the closing dag
of the last session of congress, and
final agreement was reached be-
tween cOnferees last week.
Representative Ferris of Oklaho-
ma, its author. said tonight that a
considerable part of the 800, ,OOO.-
cee acres of public lands in the west
and the 375,0O0,OOO acres in Alas
ka could be utilized for stock rails
ing, under the law.
Thus, he said, thousands of home.
less citizens would be able to gain
homes. The law raises the home
stead unit from maximum of 800
acres to $40 on arid, semiarid, non
irrgible and nontimbered public
lands.
improvements of SIPS per acre
must be made by the homesteader
The bill was strongly indorsed
by the interior department, which
informed congress that it would re,
suit In having the number of cattle
in the west greater than during
the most prosperous days of the
cattle kings"

Greater Iowa Association L
tention to Some Facts Rega !,
ing Iowa Products.

A great hullabaloo is being raised
by the states in the extreme south
west and southeast corners of the
United States because of an increase
pfabout two million boxes In the
orange crop Of 1916, as compared
with 1915.
Little news stories have crept In
to the newspapers all over the coun-
try calling attention to the fact that
the total orange crop of the United
States will reach an aggregate value
this year Of about $1s,000,00O.
But the Greater Iowa association
has sent out a little story to the
newspapers all over the country that
the Iowa hen was on the job during
the year 1915, too, and that she laid
$22,000,000 worth of eggs. Accord.
ing the Greater Iowa associa-
tion's news bulletin, Iowa has not
been advertising her products suf-
ficiently.
Every now and then we read spe-
ciai stories describing the remark
able fact that whole trainload OF
oranges made up Of twenty-five or
thirty freight cars has pulled out of
southern California headed for the
east.
Newspapers unwittingly follow the
trail of this train through the coun-
try and when it passes through this
town or that town, a special story is
written.
A trainload OF oranges may be
worth $20.000--proyiding it is a
good big train.
In the meantime a hundred train
loads o. Iowa live stock might cross
tas alississsfpf I'd their way ID chi
cago, and no mention would be made
OF it at ALL If the newspapers of
Iowa and Illinois endeavored to write
little feature story about each solid
trainload of Iowa livestock that pas
sed its way, there would be room for
little other news, and our weekly
newspapers would have to publish
daily editions.
A trainload of livestock Is worth
several dollars more than a train
load OF oranges. An orange blossom,
you know, is much prettier than a
hog, and gives off sweater per-
fune.
