Hawkeye Regiment Enroute Home
From the Border, Will Pass
Through keokuk Next
Week.
GOING TO DIES MONIES
Suggestion is Made That if Troops
Arrive at the Proper Time,
Welcome Could be
Given.

The Second Iowa infantry will pass
through Keokuk enroute to Des Moines
either late Monday night or early
Tuesday morning. according to ad-
vices received here today. The troops
are travelling in three trains, compris-
ing forty-eight cars, and left Browns
Vile today. They travel via the Gulf
Coast lines, Frisco and c., B. & @.
which will deliver them to the Keokuk
and Des Moines.
The exact time of arrival is not GER
tain according to Agent MiIligan's mes
sage, but will be either late Monday
Or early Tuesday morning according
to the present schedule and the speed
with which the southern roads handle
the trains to st. Louis. From St. Louis,
the Burlington will take the soldiers
to Keokuk.
AS Keokuk is the first Iowa point
the Second Iowa troops will touch
on their way. to Des Moines, it has
been suggested that it would be a
good idea to give the guardsmen
some kind of welcome here. After
soldering for eight months on the
border the guardsmen would undoubt-
eddy appreciate a welcome as they
enter Iowa again.
If the train arrives here at an
early hour. plans are on foot to have
the soldiers march up Main street
before leaving for Des .Moines. Com
pany L, band, and patriotic organi-
cations would meet the guardsmen at
the train and escort them up town
and back.
A committee will likely be appoint
ed to arrange some sort of program
of welcome.

Washington, Sept 26.-Menacing
labor problems in navy yards, ship
building plants and the coal industry
will be adjusted soon, officials de-
cIared today.
President John P. White. of the
United Mine Workers, chairman OF the
joint bituminous wage conference
here, announced there was mo- talk

tors at the meetings. With Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield as umpire, any
disagreement over the wage demands
of the union miners will be accepted
by both sides, he says
The miners ask a minimum of from
So to $3.50 for day work and an in-
crease of 5 cents a ton in the rate
where coal is mined on basis of pay
for production work. The central field
comprises mines in Ohio, Indiana, Hi
nois and western Pennsylvania. Wage
scales in other fields are based on the
pay given in these districts.
In the threatened big strike in
Seattle shipyards, the government
shipping boards wage commission is
striving to reach a satisfactory scale.
The men have been urged to await its
recommendations.
While the Norfolk navy yard strike
threatens to spread to other yards,
where dissatisfaction with the new
wage scale exists, the navy department
feels that the trouble will be kept in
check.
Miners Final Demands.

veloped the miners final demands in

only rains reported up to Tuesday
were a few light. scattered showers
the Topeka office of the U. S. Wealth
err Bureau announced today. Condi-
tons were favorable for outdoor work
of all kinds and farmers have been
exceedingly busy sowing wheat, cut
ting corn, and making hay
The nights were somewhat too cool
for corn, but the warm afternoons
and abundant sunshine were quite IA
vorable. and it made fair progress.
The early planted is now safe from
frost in all parts. A large per cent of
the late planted will not be safe for
at least two weeks, however, except in
the south-central and southeastern
counties, where it has practically all
matured. Cutting corn and filling ST
los has begun in all parts and this
work is well under way in the central
and southeastern counties. where most
of the cutting is done and silos are
about all filled.
Sorghums in Head.
The grain sorghums are generally
in head, but are from one to two
weeks later than corn in maturing.
kafir and feterita stand a reasonable
chance of maturing grain in the
part OL Tie SldlSs mt a
considerable per cent of the cane will
soon mature, even in the more north
western counties.
Broom corn pulling is being carried
on as fast as possible in the south
western counties.
Wheat sowing is general. with the
ground in fine condition, except in a
| few central and northeastern coun-
ties, where more rain is needed. Early
sown wheat is coming up in fine
| shape. Only a few indications of Hes
sian fly are reported so far.

under way in places where labor can

NJ. Avskentieff, former minister of

the peasant delegates in a patriotic
speech in which he said Russia must
fight Germany resolutely if it desir-
