term.ne just when these pensions will
start. The Law does not become ef-

clares that the pensions shall start
after the passag &c Of this act. The
question has therefore been raised as
70 whether or not the pensions will
date from the time the law passes the
legislature or the time It goes in eff
feet which Is July OF this year.

who introduced this law in the general
assembly. estimated al the time OF
passage there were from twenty 10

Crop Conditions in Northeast Iowa.
Montlcello.-Crop conditions in this
section are very good considering the
extremely cold weather which has pre-,

Not much spring wheat Is sown in this
immediate vicinity. A great deal OF the
blowing for corn has been finished. and
the farmers are getting the balance
ready. The soil is in excellent condf-
ton for blowing. A great deal OF new
land has been plowed up this season,
and the evidences are that more than
the usual amount Of acreage will BE-
put into corn and potatoes. Every
available spot OF ground In town, and
along the right OF way Of the c. N. e

For Injuries

Arbitrators Allow Claim Of EmpIoye
For Injuries.
The hearing before arbitrators in
the case OF Ernest Garlick VS.. the
Chrystal Company. was held at Man
chester and decided adversely to the
Chrystal company. Claim for compen
sation under the workmens compensa-
ton act was made by Garl!ck, who
was a carpenter employed by the de-
PENDANTS to work on barn on one Of
their farms.
The defense was based on the pro-
from liability hereunder and on the
further ground that Garlick was not
employed by them in an employment
carried on by them for pecuniary gain.
A. p. Funk. state Industrial commits
sioner, presided over the hearing and
z. II. Hoyt and Charles CawIey. OF
Manchester. acted az a-b!.rators. They
decided that the employment was one
covered by the provisions OF the act
and that the Chrystal company was
bound to pay half the weekly wages
earned by claimant for forty weeks,
holding that the injury was one per-
manent in character and resulting in
partial disability.
A claim Tor review was fled and the
commissioner will pass upon the mat
ter again after written arguments arc
filed by both sides. The supreme court
OF Iowa has not decided this question
which is Of Importance to farmers in
asmuch as under this decision It will
be their duty to insure their employees
under similar circumstances, tho it has
been generally considered that farmers
were not bound by the act.
