reorganization of the old Third
Iowa, 16Sth infantry. C. w. Atkins
and John Wintrode attended the
meeting of the officers of the old
regiment in Des Moines recently and
requested that Winterset be given
its old company. Stuart, Dubuque

pany. All of the old members of
Company A want the unit to remain
in Winterset and urge the citizens
of the town and county to give
their support in reorganization OF
the old Third Iowa which lost so
many men during the war. The
Third is being re-organized under
the national guard plans. The
strength of each company will be
100 men. The proposed officers of
the company are: Major, First Ba-
tallion, c. w. Atkins; Captain, John
Wintrode: First lieutenant, Earl
Null; second lieutenant, Robert
Breeding; first sergeant, Trotter.
The new personnel of Company A
will include very few of the men who
left Winterset in June, 1917. OF the
$50 men in the company who went
to France, there are five who were
not in a hospital. Not private of
the original company returned home
a private. Some of the men have
four wound stripes. OF the twenty
officers who were on duty with the
company at different times. three
were killed and ten wounded. The
company went into the battle at
Chateau Thierry with six officers
and 264 men. They came out with
20 men available for line duty.

Civil War Veteran Dead

Frank Bourne is dead at the
county home in Hardin county. He
was known all over the north CEN
trail part of Iowa as Don Pedro"
He was rs years old. For many
years he travelled over a half dozen
counties doing odd Jobs here and
there. He would entertain large
crowds of people by singing quaint
songs composed by himself, accom-
panied by the rafting of bones. He
was in the war of the rebellion and
received severe injuries in an explo-
sion OF gun boat which beclouded
his intellect and while harmless he
was both erratic and irresponsible.
He wrote splendid hand indicative
of good education. All efforts to
obtain his war record under the

Higher Prices for Farm Products

w. j. O'Brien of Bayard who ship
ped 1913 head of hogs to Omaha re-
Gently which average 401 pounds per
head thinks that we are on the
verge of the highest priced era the
world has ever known. He said:
"Old hogs have been practically
cleaned up in our locality owing to
the recent heavy break. Farmer
after farmer has disposed of his
brood sows and will raise only en-
ough pigs for immediate needs.
Mark my words, this is the dawn of
the highest prices the world has
ever known.
Mr.. O'Brien says that at the be-
ginning of our reconstruction period
many untenable and unjust PROPOSE
tions are receiving support that will
work more or less disaster before
the errors are discovered.
Mr.. O'Brien has about 100 pigs
but says that at present values it
would have been much cheaper to
have purchased stock pigs than to
put the corn into them in order to
get the present growth. ''I am
afraid to figure up how much / have

tie as they cost him.
Probably the most disheartening
blow the farmer h"S received in a
long time is the proposed Kenyon
bill. Appara"''v aimed at the
packer, it misod the intended target
and If passed will hit the farmer
hardest of all.
"The farmer has become helpless
under these abnormal conditions
and the average tiller of the soil and
raiser of live stock has determined
to cut production until the industrial
and commercial world reaches a
practical, sane and permanent bust
ness basis policy that will furnish
the farmer a reasonable feeling OF
security in his future operations.

To Get Increase in Wages

Iowa postoffice employees are in
terested in an advice from Washing
ton to the effect that an agreement
on increased pay for postal EN-
ployees was reached by the senate
and house conferees, a graduated
scale ranging from 500 TO 5000
annually for general employees,
with smaller raises for rural mail
services, being approved.
The increases would be retroac-
tive from July LIST and the estimat-
ed cost to the government would be
between thirty-eight and forty mil
lion dollars.
Those to receive the general in
creases include assistant postmast-
ers, clerks and carriers at first and
second class postoffices, railway mail
clerks, inspectors, mechanics, labor
ers. watchmen and third-class post
masters. The 5000 increase would
go to those now receiving between
$1,000 and $1,000: $3.50 to those re-
ceiving between $1,000 and $4,000
and $4,000.

He is the proprietor of harness
business which he has conducted sue

to have some one read his CORE

of it he does himself, the janitor

business letters, using a typewriter

When business is slack he makes

One Mine at Perry Runs Right Along

There is one coal mine in the vi
cinity of Perry which has been kept
in operation in spite of the strike.
1t is located nine miles northwest of
Perry and is known as the Snake
Creek mine.
It is operated by non-union miners
and is one of the two mines in Iowa
where the miners are paid the scale
by the union and the men are receiv-
ing the 60 percent increase for a
six hour day and five day week.
The mine is owned by Fyfe &
Mansell and is operated under great
difficulties. About a year ago all
the buildings and equipment above
ground were destroyed by fire, and
the machinery which now hoists the
coal from the shaft is in the open
air.
The owners of the mine have paid
price" set by the government. To
Offset the 60 percent raise to the
miners they applied a so percent
raise for the coal and it is selling at
Sc per ton at the mine instead of 81.
The farmers of the neighborhood
are taking the output which is about
16 tons daily. Coal delivered to
the bins in Perry costs $40 per ton,
instead of the 81 which was fixed by
the dealers.
The few miners employed really
work but 5k hours daily. Their
time starts when they report at the
mine shaft, and It takes fifteen or
twenty minutes each way to get to
and from their work.
