No action has been taken in the case
of the petition presented to the county
board of supervisors recently, asking
for an increase in wages for county
assessors and it is doubtful If the
board will act upon the matter in the
immediate future. as the salaries have
already been fixed for the year. All
townships with the exceptions of Els
worth and Webster. are given $132 for
assessing work. The other two have
been apportioned $50 each. Town
corporations are given the following
amounts: harrisburg, $40: Ellsworth,
$50: Jewell. $40: Kamrar, $3.50 !;
Stratford, $50: Stanhopc, $50; Will
liams. so. and this city $500.
There has been no increase in the
salaries of assessors in Webster coun-
ty The amounts paid there are mater
tally lower than assessors are receiving
in this county. as the sums range from
a minimum of $50 for Sumner town
ship in Webster county, to maximum
salary of S12O for Douglas and others.
Towns range from SO for StratfOrd
to 81 600 for Fort Dodge.

1916 IN TREASURY

Members of the Hamilton county fail
association met in the city hall Fri
day afternoon and voted in favor OF
a fair this year. Those present ex'
pressed their satisfaction over the sue
cess of last years exhibition and de-
clared themselves in favor of con-
tinuance of the fair in this county.
H. o. Cutler read reports as to fl
nancial standing of the fair associa-
ton. At the present time there is
1876 in the treasury but when one or
two outstanding bills have been paid,
the association will just about break
even. This is gratifying when one con-
siders that in many counties adjoining
Hamilton county. Wright county and
Webster count, for instance, the fair
associations are deeply in debt. Mr..
Cutler also made an inventory of the
improvements which have been made
on the fair ground. The sum Of $2,335
has been expended on these PERMANENT
improvements.
Following Mr.. Cutters report. the
following directors were elected:
CASH.. L. Baird.
Freedom-Boyd Wiedlein.
Scott-Carl Sparboe.
Webster-A. E. Naylor.
Rose Gr0ve-Henry Hill.
Fremont-R. r. Downs.
Independence. n. Mason.
Blairsburg-W. J. Irving.
BoOne-F. A. Huddlestun.
The new directors will meet in the
city hall next Saturday afternoon at !
o'clock to elect a president, vice-presi-
dent, secretary and treasurer. Plans
for the fair will also be worked out.
G. E. Richeson, who attended as an
invited guest of the association, pleds-
ed the support of the business men OF
the city. He declared that the bust
ness men were whole heartedly in IA
vor of fair and would cooperate with
the farmers in making the project
success.

MRS. FALLEN,
FOUND IN West
Woman who Disappeared
From Des MOines Store
! With $500 is in
Los Angeles.
FOUL PLAY FEARED
A Former Friend Accident
ally Meets her in a
Store.

Stratford, Iowa, JAM IA. (Special.)
Mrs. Hannah Fallen, who disappear
ed as completely nine weeks ago as
though she had dropped off the earth
and whose whereabouts have been un-
known to relatives and friends since,
has been located in Los Angeles. Word
t. this effect reached relatives here
yesterday through Mrs. Esther john
son, former Stratford resident, who
met Mrs. Fallen in store in that
city.
The disappearance of Mrs. Fallen
was sensational and such as to cause
alarm as to her safety. She was in
Des Moines and bought new coat at
one of the department stores in that
city. She gave the clerk large check
in payment and received some $500 in
change. She left the store with the
coat and the $500, which was the last
seen or heard from her until yester-
day. The matter was soon reported to
the Des Moines police and practically
nationwide search by police and pri-
vate detectives has been in progress
ever since. Mrs. FALLEN was pioneer
resident of this city and had been
prominent in the life Of the community
for good many years, until a short
time ago when she moved to Des
Moines to live with son.
No Reason Known.
No reason could be ascertained for
her disappearance and it was feared
that she may have met foul play, on
account Of the sum Of money she had.
Police and detectives worked both on
this theory and the belief some held
that she may have become temporarily
unbalanced and wandered away.
The letter written by Mrs. Johnson
states that she met Mrs. FALLEN in a
store In Los Angeles. The latter told
Mrs. Johnson that she knew relatives
and friends were looking for her.
She seemed to have no reason for
keeping them in ignorance Of her
whereabouts and said that she planned
to return to Iowa in February. Mrs.
Johnson's letter was written to rela-
tive in Dayton and the latter at once
telephoned Mrs. Falleins relatives in
Stratford. Mrs. F. is quite well along
in years and it is feared that her
health may be somewhat undermined.
A load of anxiety has been lifted from
the shoulders Of relatives. however, by
the word that she is alive. She Is
quite we'll known over Hamilton coun-
ty, especially among older residents.

u. c. Chase has been appointed
drainage attorney for Hamilton county,
the appointment being made by the
board of supervisors. There are 2i6
established drainage districts in this
county and, necessarily, there is much
legal work of a drainage nature to be
done. In counties which have cOnsid-
cradle drainage business, it is custom
airy to name some attorney to act in all
drainage litigation and in an advisory
capacity. Hamilton county is listed
among the counties Of the state where
the drainage work is unusually heavy.

-cornered dingus with kinks and
curiicues and cats and q chicken
head pinned on one side and young
onion on the other and two strips OF
red flannel hanging down the rear,
he would be arrested and slammed in

do it and get away with it. Why?
To which another exchange replies:
Well, we don't know. If woman
went down town with a big wad of
tobacco in her mouth and stood on
the corner and told stories and squirt
ed tobacco juice all over everything
and swore every other breath, used
foul language and staggered around
she would soon be arrested. But a

Inch Equals 120 Miles in PhOniDg.
Best results in telephoning are to
be obtained if the speakers lips are
one inch from the mouthpiece and he
is talking directly into it, according
to recent tests made.
Every inch of additional space be-
tween the speakers lips and the
mouthpiece is equivalent to adding
120 miles of wire to the line" says
the expert on the subject.
If one talks at a greater distance
than one inch, such sounds as 81, f, p,

closer than one-half inch, such nasal
sounds as m and n do not enter the
