the new law goes TO the last legisla-

Just decided that the law Is valid and
the tax exemption on homes will be
carried out. II is generally consid.

undeniably praiseworthy, In making

POTATOES IN THE RIVER

Boston Transcript-Eighty carloads
% Delaware white potatoes, so a tele-
gram from Wilmington informs us,
have been dumped into the Delaware
river neal that city in an effort to
maintain the prices now prevailing in
the local market. Witnesses to this
abominable sacrifice have testified TO
il. II ought to be a crime to destroy
food in order TO keep up the price.
Il is not the first time that the same
or a similar thing has been done. Ger
tain New York market manipulators
land we are not sure the thing has
not been done in Boston) have carried
vegetables out to sea on floats and
dumped them there in an effort to
keep prices up. And to a great ex-
tent they have succeeded.
To the suggestion that such destruc-
ton as that recorded at Wilmington
is criminal, the owner of the dumped
potatoes will no doubt answer, Are
not these potatoes III property, and
have We not a right to do with them
as we choose? Would anyone dispute
u right to keep them in bins until
they rot? And in that case would the
potatoes not be lost to the consumer
as much as If they were dumped into
the river"
This reasoning may be within the
law" but il is not within that funda,
mental morality which is the basis of
law. The earth exists for the benefit
OF the children Of earth. It's fruits,
though they may belong, as they grow,
to those who produce them, are not
born TO be DESTROYED for a price.

JUDGE HAMILTON
TO BE ARBITER
Fort Madison Jurist Will Be One Of
Three Of Board Of Arbitration to
Settle Dispute in Burling-
ton Cracker Works.

Judge W. S. Hamilton, Of Fort
Madison, yesterday morning received
notification from Governor Hardine
of his appointment as a member o!
the board of arbitration and concilia
tion to which is submitted the dispute
which has arisen between the Iowa
Biscuit company of Burlington, EN-.
ployer, and the bakery and confec.
tionery workers local, No. 2ss, Bur
Iington, Iowa, employees.
The other members of the board
are J. A. Macarthur, on behalf Of the
employer, and G. =. Turner, on behalf
Of the employees, both of said mem.
bers being residents Of Burlington.
1t was suggested that Judge Ham
ilton arrange with the other mem
bers Of the board time and place,
mutually agreed upon, for the pur-
pose of organizing and proceeding as
provided by chapter Sb, title IL, OF
the supplement to the code and such
organization will be effected at an
early date.
The submission Of this matter to
board of arbitration and concf1ia-
tion was requested in a petition
signed by twenty-five citizens Of Bur
lington. On November "a. 1919, fifty
six employees of the Iowa Biscuit com.
pany entered upon strike against
certain alleged wrongs they expert
enced as employees of the said Iowa
Biscuit company.
The employer and employees have
been absolutely unable to get to-
gether, and 1t is realized that pro-
longing the strike must he attended
by moral effect that is likely to
prove deleterious to other workers.
1t is the Judgment of the signers of
the petition that no progress Is DOS
sible under the plans and efforts thus
far put forth to bring the parties to
the controversy to any agreement
whatsoever, and it fs their desire to
bring the facts at issue before some
competent body empowered to hear
and, II possible, to adjust the same,

WAS HELD IN CHICAGO
Z keo<uk Was Second to Chicago in All
But Ore Thing, Reports to
a the Convention
a~&a Showed.


The fourteenth annual session of
the Keokuk district Sunday school
convention, just closed in Chicago.
was the most successful and inter
testing in the history Of the Keokuk
district. Every school in the district
reported and Keokuk stood next to
Chicago in everything except in the
number of accessions to the church.
The papers presented by the dele
gates were highly interesting and
dealt mainly with conditions actually
met and how they were improved.
There was not dry hour during the
entire three days session, and the
discussions brought out many ad-
vanced steps the various schools
have taken.
One great forward movement the
district has taken is the organ Haton
of a teacher training class in every
school The delegates argued that
the high caliber of the graduates be-
ing turned out by the high schools
demands trained teachers to lead
them. The convention went on rec
ord declaring that every teacher in
every Sunday school throughout the
district must take up the teacher
train ing work From the reports it
was brought out that a majority of
the schools have adopted a teacher
training course.
The delegation from Keokuk was
headed by Mrs. P A. Jones and in
-cluded Mrs. G. r. Waters Miss Anna
PyIes, Prof w H. Jones and A. w.
Draine. Mrs. Jones was on the pro-
gram for a paper on The Value of
the Sunday School in the Formation
of Character" and the subject was
very ably handled The convention
spent much time in discussing her
paper.
The Allen Christian Endeavor
league was in session the afternoon
of Wednesday, and the young peopl*
had a splendid program of paper.
