SARAH BRowNRIGG.

Sarah Brownrigg was born October
30, 1859, at Sharon, Noble County,
Ohio. She was the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. John w. Brownrigg.. In
1860 she came with her parents to
Iowa, where she has since resided. On
February %, 1884, she was united in
marriage to John Dickinson, and to
this union six children were born:
Ray, William, Clyde, Mrs. A. O. Nal-
son, Walter and Lloyd. Beside her
husband and six children she leaves

member of the Methodist church, and
always most kind and loving mother.
She enjoyed good health until about
three years ago, when a cancerous
growth appeared which finally caused
death in spite Of all that could be done
by skillful surgical and medical at
tention. Death came on her ,sixtieth
birthday, October 30, 1919. Though
she was not well during the war just
past, she always thought of her four
enlisted sons in the army and never
failed to send each one kind moth
erly letter weekly; but thanks to Him
who doeth all things we'll, her boys
all returned home safely to her be-

DUNLAP LEGION A LIVELY
CR0WD

Dunlap, Ia, Nov. 21.-One Of the
worth while affairs of the week was
the meeting of the American Legion.
held in the library on Wednesday ev-
ening. The legion was organized
some time ago with membership Of
lightweight, differed as follows:
Post Commander. Lieut.. r. G. Moore;
post vice commander, Frank Mccain;
post adjutant, John Adams; post
finance, E. T. Ryan, Jr.; post histor-
ian, Max Chauncy.
General Wood sent the legion
souviner, handsome picture of HIM
self, which the boys have had framed
and hung upon the library wall. The
meeting adopted the RULES and regu-
lations of the organization of the
order and are making plans for a
meeting place. The meeting was ad-
dressed by Attorney Welsh of Dem
ison, who has recently returned from
the national convention at Mime
apolis, and came here full of his sub
ject and certainly gave the boys
good talk. He gave them much in
teresting data from the convention.
Attorney w. l. Wolfe of Logan also
gave a short talk.
Some discussion was held concern
ing the possibility of erecting men,
orial hall for the town as a meeting
place for the boys and also for other
public gatherings. There is really no
need so great at the present time as
public hall. and the time seems OPP
perfume for some public spirited man
who had a son in the war or mayhap
still better chance for one who
didn't have son in the war, to start
this fund with good liberal dona-
ton, and in that way show their APP
probation for what the boys did and
also do good thing.

COAL SITUATION SERIOUS.

City and County Fuel Administrators:
A. Edgecomb.
Dear Sir: The coal situation is be-
coming most alarming and the sup
ply in many localities is very low. In
some communities it will last but a
few days. Hundreds of families are
now without coal except such as can
be obtained from their neighbors, and
if the strike lasts few days longer,
drastic measures will of necessity
have to be taken.
Consumers who have plenty of coal
and are able to heat their house do
not fully appreciate or realize the
seriousness of the situation and prob
ably will not until they are advised
that their neighbor has no coal and
they are called upon to divide.
1t is necessary to conserve every
pound, and we should begin to do so
at once. We are getting some dock
coal, but. this will last only short
time Even if the strike is ended
we cannot expect shipments to any
great extent for two or three weeks,
and it looks as though the citizens of
Iowa will have to take care of them
selves. The Governor desires me to
advise the public of the true situation
and authorizes me to call upon the
citizens of the state to cooperate in
saving the supply we have on hand in
order to preserve the health of our
families and friends.
The strike is producing the same
result as would an invading army. It
shuts off our water, heat, light and
food supplies, and is threatening in
dustries of every nature which will in
time throw thousands out of employ
ment. l. therefore, call upon cities
and towns where necessary to discon-
tinue advertising signs, and street
lights, excepting those necessary for
police Election.
Fuel Administrators should at once
call conference fof city officials,
school directors and business men and
discuss the feasibility of closing ali!
places possible. 1t may be necessary
soon to commander coal where there
is a surplus in order, to distribute to
those who are in need. Coal in cellars
OF California, and Florida tourists
should be voluntarily turned over to
the Fuel Administrators. Those who
have waited until this time, as many
have, and then filled their cellars
while their neighbors have none,
should be asked to divide their sur
pluus or be ostracised by the COM
munity. Not to exceed one ton
should be delivered to household.
BY strict conservation, the use of
large quantities of wood and the
rational and equitable use of coal on
hand, we will be able to make what
we have last for considerable
length of time.
Very truly yours,
Charles Webster,
State Fuel administrator

JUST REMARKS.

Some stomach specialists die of in
digestion.
II you would get at the root of evil,
arrest the man.
Skirts may soon be as high as the
price thereof.
A man is boss of the household
when the wife is away.
Rally round the flag more and
around the key less.
If the stork goes on strike what
will we do for babies?
Premature formation of opinion is
a common ailment.
He who is Industrious, cheerful and
intelligent is capitalist.
Ten billion telephone calls in the
U. S. per year. Too much talk
A country where even a poor man
can have pie is great country.
The ultimate consumer is the under
dog and pays the freight.
Tho rich did not originate the equal
division theory.
By the time we are able to buy
what we want we don't want it.

"A UNIQUE SITUATION.
An Institution Which Serves ths
State But Receives No Funds


From State Treasury.
In our brief story about hospitals
last week it was not stated that the
Iowa Methodist Hospital located at
Des Moines is constant benefactor
of the entire state. Patients from
four to five hundred Iowa towns and
cities are cared for at that institu-
ton each year. This is evidently a
state institution which is not financed
by the state in the usual acceptance
OF the expression. People having
means are expected to pay for their
services, but no one is barred for lack
of money.
This hospital is not, operated as a
commercial enterprise, however, and
its large volume of free service con-
stitutes it one of the greatest and
most helpful philanthropies in the
entire state.
Its ministry of healing is enjoyed
by people of religious faiths and by
many who do not profess Christianity.
A very notable service to the state
is also rendered thru the Nurses
Training School of the institution.
Most people realize that competent
trained nurse is as important in SER
ious illness as good physician. Dur
ing the war over eighty graduate
nurses of the Iowa Methodist Hos
pital volunteered for army service,
and an additional group of ten risk
ed their lives by service at Camp
Dodge during the "Flu" epidemic.

HARDING HEARS FROM GOV


n Des MONIES, la, Nov. 21.-Governor
|W. L. Harding Of Iowa had received
replies from the; governors Of seven
bitnnainors coal producing states to-
day to his suggestion that the states
take concerted action in an effort to
have sbituminous coal digging resum-
ed.
Not enough had replied for Govern
or Harding to say whether he would
call conference of governors, he de
clared at noon. States from which he
had heard were: Indiana, Illinois,
Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Ten
ressse and Pennsylvania. !.
Governor Lowden of Illinois said in
his message:
Situation becoming serious in this
states Still hope that authorities at
Washington will effect settlement
shortly. If not, will be glad to at
tend conference with governors coal
producing states to consider ways and
means for resumption of production .
Governor Cox of Ohio replied:
"unless there is some. adjustment
soon, governmental interference in
shape of operating the mines will be
necessary. 1t ought to be done by
federal authorities, but if emergency
continues much longer the states must
act.''
Governor Black of Kentucky simply
said: Miners Of Kentucky gradual
ly returning to work"
Governor Cornwell of West Virginia
telegraphed: "Inasmuch as compare
lively few mines in this state are idle
and production of entire state more
than rs per cent of normal, no such
action as you suggest necessary
here"
Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania
wired: Conditions here not so criti-
cal as you describe: Large proportion
of our miners now working. l would
hesitate before would make scale
what you suggest. Might complicate
conditions in Washington conference
and possibly work HARM"

Really Not Their Fault.

Marjorie and Cle,, are prinl little
sisters, and as there is baby brother
mamma has some trouble putting on
the last touches and getting them
away to school mornings. In the in
terest of discipline their teacher was
obliged to lecture them on tardi,ess
and next morning they were late as
usual. She waited for them at the
door, trying to look stern. but Clea
upset all her dignity and cut her lee
ture short by observing: well. we
can't help it If yon ring the bell too

pers to make money.
If this situation were the result Of
manipulation or monopoly, it might
be dealt with by the usual legal meas
ures, though prosecution and legisla-
ton are disappointing in results. In
fact, the present situation is the re-
suit of shortsighted attempts in the
past to restrict the price of paper,
which has kept capital out Of manu-
facture, SO that the industry now is
not able to meet the publishers needs.
The crisis can be met only by VOL
tary self-denial-unless it be allowed
to develop until the weaker publish
ers go under. The Tribune is in a
fortunate situation because it manu-
features its own paper. But it be-
lieves it would be national misscr-
tune if newspapers or other publica-
tions of merit were victimized by this
abnormal condition, perhaps even to
the extent of being forced out of ex-
istence.
The Tribune believes, therefore, that
the stronger publications should fore
go their advantage to reasonable
extent and enter into an agreement
to curtail the consumption of news
print paper. The agreement must be
general and advertisers should give
public spirited help by asserting to
restrictions of space.
The Tribune would be glad to lead
the movement for restriction, but has
gone rs far as it feels it is reason
able that it should go until general
agreement is put in force. 1t stands
ready, however, to join in a general
movement to bring consumption down
to the level Of supply and thus save
a situation which must soon prove
disastrous to many publications anc
a public misfortune.-Chicago Trib

RI. When the pendulum swings to the
right or left, it always has to swing
back again, and then it always swings
just as far to the one side as it did to
the other.
And so it is with people. They
swing one way and then in time swing
back, and in swinging back they go to
one extreme as much as they did to
the other. Finally, though, thank the
Lord, unless they are wound up again
with some other key they gradually
get down to level, and quit swinging.
