in the spring so that the mines could
run regularly at minimum expense.
A great many labor troubles could
be avoided if the industries could be
operated on this even basis all thru
the year. And in most cases, they
could run this way if the public
realized the advantage and neces-
sity of it and would distribute theic
purchases evenly through the year.
There ought to be nation wide
campaign for the purpose of stabil-
izing all intermittent industries. The
public should be pursuaded to dis
tribute their purchases so that shops
and mines could run regularly and
avoid the periods of unemployment
that bring suffering to the workers
and create social unrest.

Loses Left Hand in SiIo Cutter

A deplorable accident befell
Thomas Farley Tuesday afternoon at
one of the Farley farms in Union
Prairie township northwest of town.
He was engaged in operating a
combination corn husker and silo
cutter when some part of the ma
chine became choked with husks and
while attempting to clear them
away, Mr.. Farley's mitten was
caught which drew his left hand in
to the husking apparatus and it was
cut and mangled so fearfully that it
was necessary to amputate it at the
wrist joint. He was brought to the
Meikle hospital where the operation
was Performed by DR.. Huecher.--

"The bond requirement caused
little Inconvenience among the re-
sponsible physicians" a prominent
member of the profession declared
"Quacks now may take advantage
of the opportunity to store up a
great amount of whiskey.
1--WE have always been permitted
to buy any amount of whiskey we
wanted. The government, thru the
collector Of internal revenue, checked
us up to see if We were using an un-
reasonable amount. This rule still
prevails in the purchase Of narcotics.
Checks of liquor probably will still be
made regardless of the lifting of the
requirements of bond"
No real difficulty has been ex-
perienced by physitions, it is said,
in purchasing whiskey for medical
purposes. Drug firms handle it, i'll
accordance with the law, and boot
leggers do not have to be resorted
to, it was pointed out.
Members of the profession declar-
ed that the great majority of doctors
in Souix City are ION the square"
and under no circums,snces will they
give any liquor to persons unless it
is absolutely necessary in cases of
illness.

THE COST OF UNEMPLOYMENT.
Some of the Miners Complain OF
LOafing Periods.

The business community and tee
consuming public have never cor
rectly figured what it costs to run an
industry in an irregular way. Ore
reason alleged by the soft coal min-
ers for striking is that they have to
loaf good deal of the time when
the demand for coal is small. Now
when this condition prevails in any
industry, it follows that higher
wages have to be paid during the
limited time when the work is go
ing on. If such industries could be SO
stabilized that they could run even
ly the year through, then it would
not cost so much to get the work
done. $685.
1t is claimed in regard to the coal
industry that this can't be done, as
so much more coal is used in the
winter. But if the public could only
realize the additional cost of run
ming an industry in an intermittent
way, they could see that it would pay
to cooperate and spread their pur-
chases evenly through the year, so
that the industries could run on a
minimum cost.
1t is usually possible to buy coal
cheaper in the spring than in the
fall. 1t would seem as if railroads,
manufacturers, and the public gen
orally ought to see that it would be
for their interest to buy more coal

Getting People to Church.

e Down at McGregor the Congrega-
tionalists have adopted Sunday ev-
ening Picnic Supper system to get
the saints and sinners out to preach
ing. Each family brings their bas-
kets of eats and cups to the church
at six o'clock and the ladies pour tea
and those enjoying the hospitality
are supposed to stick around for q
social hour and also stay for the
spiritual feast. And yet the attend
ance week ago Sunday night was
only twenty-seven. Did the q go
for the eats or because they wished
to attend church?
If the church must lure the peo-
pie to the means of saving grace
with attractive bait, why not go to
1t strong? A few Sundays ago we
heard a minister remark that back
in the good old Bible days the choice
chickens wore dresses made OF a
material three times as thin as the
georgette the women folks Of the
present time wear, which must have
been good for sore eyes and almost
the undraped reality. Why not get
some of the old goods and doll-up a
big chorus choir-then watch the
men folks pile into church and 1ostle
each other for front seat position.

Office, for instance, it records like a

leaf books, dates and numbers the
entry, adds up the individuals total
payment, and then at the bottom OF
the page records the grand total OF
the entries on that page. Two
columns of figures can be added
simultaneously and will skip all
numbers used for dates, etc., and
not intended to be included in the
total. The machine operates by cleo
tricity, the motor starts when the
key is pressed, and automatically
stops within a minute or two after
the operator ceases to manipulate
the keys. The cost of the machine
was something over $66o.-Waukon

Chicken picking is in progress "a

Among the pickers is one George
l(Swede) Anderson, who has the
reputation of being one of the fastest
and best pickers in the business. 1t
is related that he picks and pin
feathers two hundred chickens dali
ly, and a ten hour day at that. He
gets six cents chicken and conse-
quently has $12 coming every night
when the old town clock strikes the
bell six times. He does his work so
rapidly that the chickens dont't real

up on the shelf, and it is said that
instances have been known where q
rooster would stand up on the shelf
