Employers Must Help.
These organizations have under
taken to find employment for our re-
turning soldiers and sailors. This
great work must succeed and with
every employer in the state offering
his vacancies to discharged men sue
cess is assured. Every employer with
a vacancy to fill should feel it his
duty to offer that opening TO dis
charged soldier or sailor. In this pa
per you will find box addressed to
these returning boys, giving the, adj
dress of the bureau in this county.
The next vacancy that occurs in any
position in our county should be re-

desired may be waiting there for
work. e.
This newspaper is heart and soul
behind this work and has contributed
the space occupied by the box adj
dressed to the returning soldiers and
sailors, to the cause. We intend to
carry this box >as long as it is neces-
sary so that every boy who reads our
paper will know where to go for in
formation in regard to employment.
Will the employers of this county re-
spond by listing their opportunities
with the bureau?

Meeting Held at Marshall
town, When Farm Blu
reaus of Iowa Voted
to Federate.
TO ADVANCE FARMING.
Constitution and Bylaws
Adopted for the
Federation.

The Hamilton County Farm Bureau
will unite with other county farm bur-
eaus of the state in effecting a state
wide farm federation. William r. Oak
land, president, expected toiattend the
recent gathering Of farm bureau repre-
sentatiyes at Marshalltown, but was
prevented by sickness in his home.
However, the purpose Of the meeting
was accomplished along the following
lines:
After briefly stating the purpose Of
the meeting, the chairman, J. r. How
ard, called for an expression from the
deiega ties present The large attendance
in itself demonstrated the interest Of
the farmers of the state in getting to-
gether on a statewide basis and upon
motion to proceed with the organiza ton
of the county farm bureaus into one
body, the vote was unanimously IN fa-
yor Of the procedure.
The Object.
Constitution and bylaws were adopt
ed. The object of the federation as set
forth shall be to effectively organize,
advance and improve in every way pos
sible, the agricultural interests of the
great commonwealth Of Iowa, economic
ally, educationally and socially, through
the united efforts of the county farm
bureaus Of the state. The name recon-
mended for the organization is the Iowa
Farm Bureau Federation. Each county
associate is entitled to one director
and all directors must be actually en-
gagged in farming in order to qualify.
The affairs of the federation will be
conducted through the executive COM
mittee consisting Of one representative
from each congressional district. The
federation is not of a political nature.
Federation to be Ratified.
A copy Of the constitution and by
laws and report Of the meeting will
be sent to each county farm bureau inn
mediately for their formal ratification.
1t is expected that the membership Of
the federation will include every farm
bureau in the state. Each county is now
well organized with a total membership
in the state aggregating 10000 and an
executive force of l ,596, and with Il, 500
district coOperatOrs. During the period
of the war, the farm bureaus have
largely devoted their efforts to war ac-
tivities, but at the present time the ex-
ecutive committee of the federation will
occupy itself with plans and recon-
mendati0ns covering reconstruction
work and establishing future policies.
BY the federation of every county in
the state and every state in the union
as outlined at this meeting, the farmer
will receive more direct representation
at Washington. Every farmer in Ham
ilton county should be interested in this
movement.

Mrs. Henry Gath, Promi-
nent and Widely Known
Jewell Woman, Hangs
Herself.
IN ATTIC OF HER HOME
Was Very Despondent Over
Her Continued iii
Health.

Jewell, Iowa, Jan. 4-Special to
the FreemanJournal: Mrs. Henry
Gath, one of Jewelrs best known and
prominent women, committed suicide
this morning in the attic of her fine
home. Dependency was the cause.
She had been in poor health for
some time. The family lived in one
of the best homes here, just south of
the school house. This morning while
Mr.. Gath and their little son, aged
3, were down town, the girl employed
in the home missed Mrs. Gath. She
thought nothing of it at the time,
but about noon she began looking
around for her and found her lifeless
body hanging from rafter in the
attic. Assistance was summoned, but
the spark of life had been extinct
some time before the body was found.
Coroner Arch Foster Of Webster City
was summoned and held an inquest
this afternoon.
Mrs. Gath was about "A years of
age. Her health had been bad for
some time and she had been at n
sanitarium in Battle Creek, Michigan
She returned from there only a short
time ago. She got little relief, how
ever, and brooded much over her
condition. Some few nights ago she
had u dream that she would never
get we'll This depressed her very
much and she could not get it off
her. mind. Continual brooding over
this is believed to have directly led
to the taking Of her own life.
Family Prominent.
The Gath family is widely kir,wn
here, the husband having lived hire
for some 40 years. He owned a big
farm north of town. Mrs. Gath's par
ients live in Nebraska. The family
are among the most prominent and
liisnly Respected hereabouts and Mrs.
Gath's sad end has brought wide
spread sorrow to the community. The
husband and little son have the deep
EST sympathy of all in their hour OF
darkest grief.
