NEW REGULATIONS PRO- VIDE FOR IMPORTATION

To assist in meeting the present shortage in unskilled labor restrictions have been temporarily removed on the importation of Mexican labor to be used in certain occupations. This step supplements the order by which the Department of Labor has arranged to bring Porto Rican laborers into this country for work on government con- tracts It is estimated that 75,000 islanders can be brought in while transportation is available.
 New regulations on the subject of Mexican labor contain rigid provisions to prevent any attempt at exploitation on the part of prospective employers. Wage rates current for similar labor in the localities in which the admitted alien is to be employed are assured, as well as good housing and sanitation conditions.
 Applications for permission to im- port Mexican labor under the new provisions may ze filed with United States immigration or employment service officials, giving the number of laborers desired class of work. wages and place of employment.

be awakened in the morning to catch

The notice of the cutting out of

came from higher officials of the
company to Manager Williams. 1t
says that here more than seven hun

been larger in number than most
people imagine. Then it says much

Manager, Williams is silent about
whether the new limitation of tele-

Long Delay in Paying for Large
Amount of Street Concrete
Paving Causes
Suit
KEOKUK MEN PLAINTIFFS
Claim and Denial That There are Low
Joints in the Paving is the
Chief Facts at
Issue.

A few years ago, Fort Madison did
"a large amount of street paving and
built fine concrete street leading
down town from far out of the city
in this direction. 1t has been the joy
of touring motorists ever since 1t was
completed.
But it cost lot of money, and the
city administration that ordered it
hesitated to levy the tax necessary
to pay for it. Also that city admins
tration went out of office soon after,
and their successors said they felt
that they had inherited an elephant.
With no tax levy, the work has not
been paid for. Pressed for payment,
the city councils engineer refused to
approve the completed work on the
ground of some low joints in it, which
the contractors say he ordered in, If
they are there as all. This alleged
fact is the contention.
Negotiations of the contractors to
get their pay for the work have been
going on for long time.

Now, the Keokuk Quarry and Con.
struction company and L. ]. Mont
gomery, trustee for the State Central
Savings bank, are plaintiffs in suit
filed in the district court against the
mayor, city council, city engineer and
city clerk of Fort Madison.
They claim in the petition on file
that the city of Fort Madison has
failed to pay for that part Of an i'm
proyement of Santa Fe avenue from
the west line of Richie street to the
west line of Ohio avenue in Fort
Madison, have failed to ascertain the
amount due for making the improve
ment and have failed to pay the
reasona bic value of it, The petition
further asks the district court to
ascertain the amount due the plain

asks a mandatory order requiring de-

tain the amount due the plaintiff and
to make necessary assessment and to

Digging a cellar for the past four
days had meant a series of adven-
lures to Charles Whapales. Yester-
day afternoon he found another
skeleton. Saturday he unearthed one
of a man. This time the skeleton
was that of woman. She was found
only thirty inches from the surface
and it looked like she had been
buried side by side with the man.
The supposition is that the two were

The frame was identified as that of
woman by the skull. The jaw was
off the body which lay full length

stroke of the shovel the skeleton fell
to pieces, in fact only the larger
bones were preserved The bones
were badly dried and crumbled some

teeth remained.
Bracelets Of Pure Gold.
Two large rings, which might have
been bracelets or other feminine per-
sonal ornaments, of considerable size,
and of solid gold, were found with
the bones. These were preserved,
and the peculiar articles found with
the mans skeleton last week, will be
presented to some historical museum.
A bit Of red powder was found
with the mans skeleton Saturday
This looked like bright paint, which
led to the conclusion that the man
might have been an Indian.
The Rev. George Giglinger took
charge of the woman's skeleton also.
1t was inferred in the Catholic ceme-
terry near the skeleton which was
buried there last Saturday.

STAY AT HOME
Food Administration Causes Throw
Out of All Weighing Under
a Hundred and Fifty
Pounds.

In view of the heavy receipts of
hogs weighing under $50 pounds,
which are too ligh. for converting
into meats suitable for export trade,
the food administration, after con-
ference with Governor Stuart, chair
man of the agricultural advisory
committee, has determined to include
in the throwouts from packers drGves
all hogs weighing less than $50
pounds.
The continuation of this program
will be determined at a meeting of
the agricultural advisory committee
and representatives of the hog pro-
ducers, packers, commission men, de-
partment of agriculture and food ad-
ministration, to be held in Chicago
December 3rd
! The exclusion OF hogs weighing
under $50 pounds, which cannot be
utilized for export trade, is necessary
for the maintenance of price stabili-
cation. The food administration
urges that they be retained on the
farm until they reach proper market
ing weight. This is of prime import

duced in the next few months will be
