 He has also served as mayor of Newark.
 Judge Arnold has been mar ried twice and has nine chil- dren living and all grown.

| Price cutting for threshing grain is alb
solutely barred by the state food admin
istrator, according to a letter of in
struction read at meeting of nearly
$50 threshernten, held in the east court
room Friday night. The letter, which
was brought to the attention of the
threshermen by L. c. Abbott. county
food administrator, makes it very plain
that owners of threshing machines
must fix the prices before the season
opens and not cut prices in order to get
more work.
1t is pointed out in the letter tina,
some farmers, in order to save a small
part of the cost of threshing, will wait
until Very late, with the result that
there will be much waste OF grain in
the shocks. 'rhreshernen are expected
Mr.. Deems indicated in the letter, to fix
the price. stick to It. do what thresh-
ing they have to do aud then quit.
Altho no scale OF prices has been
actually agreed on by all the thresher-
men of the county, Il. has become the
quite general opinion that the follow
ing prices per bushel are fair: Oats
N cents: wheat, s cents: rye. cents;
barley, cents; timothy, 35 cents;
clover, So.
Machines to Be Tagged.
The food administration has sent a
supply of large cards on which is print
ed "Pitch evenly-he;ids first" These
cards are to be tackled on each side
of the separs.tors, constantly to call tc
the attention OF those pitching bundles
INTO the machines that they n1pst fol-
low the directions n that there may
not be any waste Of grain In the oper-
alton.
Thresherm,sn have been supplied with
record books, furnished by the food ad
ministration. in which, they are to keer
an account Of the quantity of grains
threshed for each man and to note in II
| if the grain is Of coed quality. These
record books are to he turned into the

because thre shing is always delayed
early in the forenoon until the dew is

the evening will be quite generally OBJ

pointed out by Merritt Greene. who
suggested this hour, that the most valu-
able hours Of the day for threshing
were those Of the late afternoon

o'clock, so that the working Sday will
actually be no longer than ten hours

5 LOCAL COMMENT

Reports OF depredations in numerous
war gardens Of the city are to be re-
GREETED exceedingly, not alone for the
loss to the owners Of the gardens. but
because of the acknowledgment to gar
deners who are trying to aid in pro-
duction because OF the shortage due
to war. Case after case OF trespass
and theft have come under observation.
and in some cases the losses have been
severe. One man who has put in much
time and some money. into potatoes.
has lost ten bushels of his crop. Others
have had beets stolen; others corn. In
fact 1t appears to mike no difference
as to the crop; the thief is not particu-
lar.
Most war gardens are not on the
premises of the owners. They are re-
moved in some cases many blocks from
the owners homes. Consequently they
are not under observation much OF the
time. Gardens in Binford Park place
have suffered heavy losses, and in the
Second ward many cases Of depreda-

not yet ready for the table, and broken
down fences. The latter have let In
stray cows from adjoining pastures, to
finish the work already begun by the
youngsters. 1t is discouraging, to say
the least. after people have spent
countless hours preparing seed beds,
planting. and cultivating, to have crops
go to waste over night. and II the num-
Der OF non producing slackers is not
reduced, and their lawless acts curhed.
there will be fewer war gardens in
Marshalltown next season..
