ence held in Birmingham, Ala, adopt |
ed the following as an outline of the |

suit of community effort,

ton of labor to eliminate waste and
maintain highest efficiency.

of the system of farm management so
as to keep labor employed proftably
the whole year.
Provision for better living condi-
tons on farms to make workers
more efficient and better satisfied.
| Cooperation in exchange OF labor
and implements between farmers.
Recognition that the work Of the
farm labor specialist is primarily an
extension effort and should be organ
Tally and intimately connected with
the agricultural extension service in
each state, so that other branches OF
the extension service may be brought
into closer cooperation with farm Ia
Dor work.
: The farm help specialists also
adopted resolution urging the inl'
portance of stabiIizing farm labor by
. providing better houses and more
privileges for tenants and laborers
and calling for consideration of def
mite plans to eliminate losses caused
l. by shifting workers.

their states to resume their work O.

From the Harrisonian July 3, '68
We present the people of Harr-
ison county and the public gener-
ally, With the first number of the
,'Harrisonian'' and, while it is not
fair specimen of what we hope
TO make it, yet it is as good as
could be expected, gotten up as it
was, in the hurry and excitement
of a removal and the re-arrange-
ment OF our office.
We have no promises to make
for he purpose of securing public
patronage: our paper will be
Democratic in politics, believing
as we do, that the honor, glory
and prosperity of this country
depends upon the speedy return
to the Doctrines of the Fathers
OF the Republic and a strict con-
struction of the Constitution as
the supreme law of the land, and
thus believing, we shall advocate
and defend, with all our limited
ability, the Democratic policy and
party and candidate who will be
placed in nomination by the New
York Democratic National conxen
ton.
We shall be independent in all
things, serving no clique or sectie
but laboring for the permanent
Improvement of Iowa in general
and Harrison county in partic-
ular, and while we. desire to
promote amily with all, we will,
nevertheless, demand IAN eve for
an eye and a tooth for TOOTH.
We have no friends to- reward nor
enemies to punish butt commence
our labors in peace swith all the
world and The balance of mankind
We shall. as our. name indicates
be Harrisonian i'm our work, and
VIII endeavOr TO promote the
growth and Improvement of all
sections of this county, and while
we may speak more often of our
own location than others, it will
ltor be for the purpose of dispara
cement of other sections, or
promoting spirit of i'll will be-
tween those who should be friends
working together for the common
good.

owners of an elevator situated
on 5th street where the old two
story restaurant is now standing.
This elevator was run by horse
power, which of course is quite
ancient at this time, when we
have steam and gasoline engines
that do all kinds OF work. They
also owned lumber yard situated
east of the Harker garage.
Now certainly had to make
the acquaintance of the doctors
in the city. At that time there
were three doctors, who relieved
the sick and distressed. They
were DR.. George McGavren, q
good jovial man, we'll met, who
was very fond of teiiing stories
and jokes, and withal good
IdoctOr.
DR.. G. w. Colt was another Of
the medical profession, a man of
splendid principles, always ready
and willing to attend the bedside
of the sick and relieve them in
their sickness and distress. He
was very successful man in his
practice.
DR.. E. J. Chapman was man
that was beloved by all who knew
him, a man whom you could ap-
proach at any and all times with
the certainty that you would re-
ceive a kind reception, and q
hearty hand shake, which always
made you feel good that you
knew him.
| 1t is a certainty that upon my
arrival in Missouri Valley at that
time, it became me to form an
acquaintance with the city Off
Gals, which I did at my earliest
opportunity, which perhaps was
a stepjin the right direction, for
| formed the acquaintance of the
mayor, j. X. McGavren, who adj
.ministered the affairs of the city,
which he did with rigorous
hand.
Harvey Mann was city marshal
at this time, at the munificent
sum of $15 per month and the
fees that would accrue from ar
rests and other sources. Not .
VERY lucrative position, neither
were the emoluments of the office
of such nature as to make it an
office to be aspired for: in the
then troublesome times of that
day and time.
The writer Of this article was
unfortunately appointed city mar
shal on the 10 of September, 1880
at the stated salary of $45 per
month and the tasks of bringing
the offenders of the law before
the court for their misdeeds and
past malefactions, which was no
infants job. For the offenders
