STREET CAR STRIKE
is NOW SETTLED
JUDGE WADE ISSUED ORDERS
FOR OFFICIALS AND MEN
TO GET TOGETHER

The end OF the street car strike
In Des Moines was scheduled for l
O'Clock this morning. Through its
executive board the men promised
to return to work at this time and
Immediately after a inassmeeting Of
the carmen was held to vote on the
proposal.
The men return under the order
Of last Monday decreeing that the
10 cent wage shall be paid them
from now and that all money in ex-
cess Of that needed for wages and
other current expenses shall be used
In settling back claims. Under these
< conditions Judge Wade agreed to
permit the wage contract to stand
pat and to cancel in entirety his or
der of yesterday morning.
Jndge Wade's early order yester-
day made 1t apparent that the men
could not win their fight. Not only
did the jurist refuse to grant them
the back pay from other funds, but
he declared that their own actions
cancelled the wage contract and that
they were no longer employees of the
company.
The first impulse of the men was
to take the case to the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals. but upon
legal advice they decided to hold the
advantages they had already won in
the long fight and to capitulate I'M
der the best terms obtainable.
The receivers were called upon to
meet with the executive council, and,
after an extended session both par
ties agreed that the order of Monday
should be used as a basis for settle
ment. Immediately after Judge
Wade issued the order authorizing
the receivers to engage the men.
Judge wade's order follows:
''Now, on this twenty-fifth day of
August, 1920, the receivers herein
having presented their report of the
proposal made by the former en-
ployes in the street railway service,
and the court now being fully adj
vised;
''It is ordered and adjudged that
II said employees shall resume serv-
fee at as early a time as Is prac-
ticable, the receivers shall accept
them in such employment under the
order of Monday. Aug. 23 1920, and
all other previous orders heretofore
outeEeu ucreln, Lne eiupiOyes u DC
reinstated in exactly the same posi-
ton as they held before the strike
with reference to wages and legal
rights.
"If service is not resumed as
aforesaid, the conditions of the or
der heretofore made on this, date,
Aug. rs, 1920, shall be observed
with reference to caring for the prop
erty during the continuance of the
strike.

CANNING FACTORY OPEN

The Audubon Canning Co. began
their 1920 pack with the opening OF
the factory Monday morning. A
large force of workmen have been
busy taking care of the corn brought
to the factory. The qualitity of the
corn is excellent and there is much
reason to think the yield will be
large this year. Yesterday they
were unable to run on account OF
so much threshlng in the country
surrounding the town. and the far
mers were unable to deliver the corn.
However, this week the factory will
probably run night and day until
the close Of the season.

That the republicans have nothing

BACK FROM COLORADO

F. G. Sampson who has been out
at Yuma, Colo, assisting with the
harvesting of the small grain crop,
returned home the latter part of tho
week Mr.. Sampson is we'll pleased
with his Colorado crops this year, in
fact he as well as all Of the other
Audubonites who own land in that
section of the state have profited by
the big yields of small grain. He
said it would take several months
perhaps before any of the crop could
be moved owing to the shortage Of
cars.

AVIATOR KILLED AT MILFORD

Upon investigation 1t has been
found that the fatal airplane acct
dent at Milford SsiGay, in which
Captain Adair of Oelwein was in
stantly killed. was due to the break
ing of the rope that held his para
chute bag to the plane.
Captain Adair's stunt was to drop
from one airplane by means of a
parachute to another plane at a
lower level. thence to the ground.
AS he leaped from the plane Sun
day piloted by one of the Donaldson
brothers, the rope that held the bag
from which the parachute was to
slip gave way and the entire appara-
tus came loose from the plane.
The accident happened about a
mile from the Donaldson aviation
field where the planes went up and
the highest plane from which Adair
Jumped was between 500 and 1000
feet from the ground. So small did
Adair's body appear that the major
ity Of the onlookers thought it was
a piece of paper floating to earth.
The parachute artist was dressed in
white tights to make himself more
conspicuous.
The impact OF the mans body
with the ground left hole almost
eighteen inches deep.
Mrs. Adair, the widow has gone to
Milford to take charge of her hus-
bands body. There are also five
children surviving, one of the sons
performing the same parachute stunt
that his father did. The son gave
exhibitions during the past week at
Waverly.

COTTON ASSN. TO
CONTINUE WORK.
MEETING DECIDES

Failure of many cotton growers to
pay bale tax to the Imperial Valley
Growers association has resulted in
a deficit in the treasury of the asso-
citation, and plans to relieve the strin-
gency were discussed yesterday at a
public meeting attended by associa-
tion officials and directors, cotton
growers and ginners, and representa-
tives Of the valley banks.
According to trial balance sub
mitted to the meeting, the association
has spent about $4,000 to bring la
bor into the valley, has on hand as
sets amounting to about $4,000, and
owes about $4,000. But $4,000 has
been collected from cotton growers
as bale tax while $4,000 has been Sc
cured in loans from banks. Expenses
of operation during the cotton pick
ing months are about $4,500, and

he steadily outdistanced Curly Craw-
tord in the Dodge, Coggins' For,.
having thrown tire in the second
lap. The tire from Coggins' Ford
was freed at such terrific rate of
speed on the turn next to the Alamo
river that it leaped to watery
grave in the bottom of the muddy
channel.
In the sixth lap Hackett stripped
one of his rear hubs and was totally
disabled, although useless attempts
were made to replace the damaged
wheel in time to finish. In the sew
enth Coggins' Ford came in for it's
third lap, but the Dodge was too near
the finish to be overtaken, although
it went to the pit with flat tire in
the ninth lap.
Keen rivalry is felt between the
two Ford racers. Coggins claims to
have the laurels cinched in any Ford
contest, while H. l.. McCurdy, de-
signer and builder of Fred Hackett's
Ford, is undaunted with the results in
the last two races, and knows the
possibilities of his car. The people
of the valley can look forward to
very exciting race between these two
Fords.
The ladies' race scheduled was not
run, owing to the non-appearance of
two challengers in racing togs.l How
ever, Mrs. Fred Hackett was given
$25 for three laps on the track. Her
average was l minute 20 seconds.

ARE RULED BY SUPERSTITION
Almost Every Act of a Roumanian,
From the Cradle to the Grave, Is
Thus Guided.

Roumania is one of the favorite
homes of superstition, where supersti-
tions accompany life literally from the
cradle TO the grave. Before a child
is christened it must undergo the
important ceremony of its first bath,
given in a huge wooden bowl, which
also serves as its cradle, at the home
Of its godmother. If it is a boy there
must be poured into the bath SYM
bolical mixture of corn, wine and
honey; if a girl the bath must con-
tain feathers from the wings of dove
and petals Of a rose to serve as a
prayer to the Three Spinners. believed
to be weaving the chiId's destiny, that
her footsteps through life may be as
soft as a dove and her face as fair as
a flower. A book, loaf of bread and
a rod are offered a boy. If he chooses
the book he will be scholar; If the
bread. he Will be a thrifty, practical,
successful man of affairs; if the rod,
which is laid on his back. he viii be
