WAGON UPsETs CAR
RAILWAY LlNEMAN HURT IN
" PECULIAR ACCIDENT.

John Wentworth and A. E. Sturke
linemen in the employ of the M. & St
l.. had a peculiar accident last Fri
day near Marshalltown, resulting in
more or les serious injuries to the
extent that one of the men is now
under treatment in a hospital at Mar
shalltown. The men were riding the
line at a fairly lively clip. A little
ahead of them they saw hay rick
pulled by team crossing the tracks
The team stopped, then started up and
as the rig was clearing the track the
car was not slowed down. After the
wagon had cleared the track the team
became frightened at some thing and
began backing. The end of the rig was
pushed over the rails just as the cal
hit the crossing and bad tangle oc
CURED. Wentworth was badly cut VI
and had an ear almost torn off. He
was crushed about the chest and had
to be carried back to Marshalltown
Sturke was not so badly hurt but he
is we'll decorated with scratches ant
bruises.

iowa 100000 TONS SHORT
Coal Production Falls Far Below
Schedule of Observation-Disclosures .
frY ing Predicted Next Winter.

Des MOines, Aug. 13.-On July /,
Iowa coal production was million and
half tons short of the amount SEIZED.
uled by the government to be produced
up to that time. This is the statement
of Governor Harding, who is making
an effort to stimulate storage of coal
and a more general use by factories
and big consumers of steam coal of
which the mines now have a surplus.
Scarcity of miners, lack of orders,
the piling up of steam coal at the
mines due to the unusual price of 80. so
per ton, and production schedule set
for Iowa mines far in excess of normal
are given as the reasons for the fail
ure to SO far meet the government
schedule ~.
1t all means suffering next winter
for those who do not have coal in
storage when the cold weather comes
this. Lack of storage space and the
inability of good many consumers to
pay cash for their winters coal sup.
ply as required by the majority of coal
operators and dealers prevent the
early storage of coal from being uni
versally practiced. 1t is practically i'm.
possible for some consumers to store
coal. This makes it all the more
necessary for those who can to do so,
the fuel officials here declare.
Many Miners Idle.
Some 2,400 miners in Iowa were idle
the most of the time during the first
and second weeks in August. Many of
the mines have shut down because
they can't move their steam coal at
the price the government fixed for it
$3.50 per ton. Consumers are refusing
to buy at this price if they can pos
jsibly avoid it. Miners are still leaving
the state it is reported.
1t is probable that the railroads in
this section generally will follow the
suggestion of Governor Harding, made
to regional director r. N. Ashton, of
Chicago and officials in Washington.
that they burn mine run coal instead
of lump.

When the waiter came with both the
French and American cigarettes, he
took the French, we wondered why!
We gave him an American cigarette.
to see the effect. Well the effect was
much different than we had expected.
He took the cigarette, looked at it, lit
Ut, looked at us, then slipped over to
our table, patted us on the back and
said: "Vive L'Amerique," and that
Americans We're good soldiers, and a
lot of other things we did not under
stand. He became very friendly,
and ordered something we did not
know what until the waiter came with
a big bottle of champagne, then we
fell to; he was treating us. He was
from another town and came to help
celebrate the Fourth of July. His
champagne cost him $4.75. The
French think the "Soldart L'Amerique
all right"
France All Right, But
Would you go into restaurant and
treat three strange soldiers from an
other country, who could understand
very little of your language? In
French restaurant it is perfectly in
order to smoke at the table where
you eat. Customs are so much diff
ferent here that l am only beginning
to understand them a little. 1t GER
tainly is a good place to learn good
manners in most things.
But there is no place anywhere near
so good as the U. S. A. Just one pic
ture from there is worth the whole of
France. You should have heard the
boys yell the other night at the "Y."
when there was movie picture that
showed Washington Square, N. Y.

THREsH|NG RECORD
FLOYD LOCKE SETS SEASONS
WORKING PATTERN. .-t

The Floyd Locke threshing outfit
made new record Saturday afternoon
at the John Nelson place north OF
East Center school. 1t was a new rec
ord in two days, amount of grain
threshed and the yield per acre. The
separator turned out 1903 bushels OF
splendid oats in a run of six hours
The oats made an even ninety 900
bushels to the acre.
Floyd says he will make a better
record than this before the season is
over; but Saturday he set a pretty
fair mark for the other crews in the
county to work by.
