100000 IOWA MEN OUT OF WORK
Survey Show That the Factories
Have Let $4,000 Go.


AT least 100000 persons are. I'M
employed in Iowa, according to A..
l.. Urick, state commissioner of the
bureau of labor statistics.
OF this number, it is his belief,
from surveys which he has conduct
ed, that about $4,000 have been drop!
ped from factories and industries of
the state. The normal personnel of
Iowa industries is about 100000 per-
sons. His survey showed that pre-
sent working forces are about 40 per
cent normal.
How many have found positions
in other places Commissioner Trick
is unable to state. However, he
admitted that few places are open
for men or women in the state, ex-
cept temporary jobs for day or
two. He is getting many calls from
employees for this class, 'and finds
that unemployed persons are jump
ing at such chances to make even
few dollars.
The state labor bureau has sent
about 1000 men to the harvest
fields of the middle west in the last
five weeks. Pay averages about SO
day, he said, which is little below
prewar level.
Packing houses seem to be doing
nearly normal business, according
to Commissioner Urick. The auto
mobile industry in Iowa also has
taken turn for the better.
However, threshing machine and
farm implement factories, canning
factories and many other normally
active industries practically are
closed down. Until month or two
ago, manufacturers of threshing ma
chimes and other farm implements
were overstocked with orders, he stat
ed. A slump followed, and most of
the orders were cancelledA
Canning factories are confronted
with the problem of having con-
tracts for large acreages of com,
tomatoes and other farm products,
but with the certain knowledge that
if they open up for business they
will lose money. One factory that
had contracts for thousands of acres
will resume operations only for about
ten days in order to neutralize the
loss to certain extent, according to
Commissioner Urick.

Still Lives in Cresco

-Sresco, Iowa.--Sixty years ago
Monday Howard county was organic
ed 1855.
Edmond Gillette, then young man
now SO years old, and still living on
the same farm he entered from
the government in 1855, a part of
which is now the site of the present
city of Cresco, was appointed or
ganizing sheriff. He rode horseback
from New Oregon to Bradford,
Chickasaw county to secure the nee
essary papers for the organization of
this county. The country from New
Oregon to New Hampton was all
a wild prairie, with but one house
in sight in all that distance of thirty
three miles.
On his return a meeting of the
voters of the county was called and
the first election took place on the
first Monday in August, 1855. +.
Gillette was elected clerk; William
Woodward, recorder and treasurer;
]. G. Upton, county Judge; John Har-
low, sheriff, and w. n. Burdick, pro-
scouting attorney. Later, when the
county seat was moved to Howard
Center, Henry A. Cook was the first
treasurer at that place.
These men have all passed away
many years ago, while Edmund Gil
lette still lives to tell the story. He
is the oldest living citizen of Howard
county in point of years of continued
residence.

PAVING TOO HIGH
State Opposes Scott County Paving
at Cost of S5S,O00 A Mile.

Fifty-eight thousand dollars is too
high a price to pay, for primary
road paving in the opinion of the
state highway commission. The com
mission has disapproved contracts
let by the Scott county board of SUI
pervisors for paving Is miles of the
Davenport New London road and the
Davenport Cambria road with brick,
bound with a bituminous filler.
As further reason for disappIov-
ing the contract the commission de-
clares its belief that the levying Of
the special assessment of % per cent
of the construction cost against the
adjacent property would prove a
grave burden to property owners mt
der present conditions. Futher it is
pointed out that in view of the heavy
improved program carried out during
the past year by the county, in which
over 20 miles Of brick pave

would have to finance the pro-
posed improvement entirely by means
of bond issues and that, in the pre-
sent condition of the money market,
bonds would undoubtedly have to be
disposed of at a discount of from 6
to Z per cent. This would add sever
al thousand dollars more per mile to
the pavement construction cost.
There was filed with the commits
sion a petition from over 20 per cent
of the property owners in the assess
ment district asking that the pave
ment on the proposed project be
postponed at least for a year or
more. The commission has just
written the Scott county board dis
approving the two contracts and CIV
ing as its reasons for the action,

Tragedy Happened at Mason City
Last Thursday.

Mason City, Iowa-Two men were
instantly killed and a third badly
injured when two airplanes executed
tail spins and crashed to the ground
from height of four hundred feet
at eight o'clock Thursday night. The
dead are w. w. Johnson, pilot and
Ray Koch, who attempted to climb
from one plane to the other. Ray
McWhorters, the second. pilot is IN
a hospital suffering from a broken
leg and other bruises. They were
practicing for an exhibition which
was TO be given at the fair here
which opens Monday.
The crash occurred when a cable
ladder suspended from Johnson's
plane caught in the other machine
below which Koch was getting ready
to perform his dare devil feat. While
attempting to pull apart the cable
broke but both pilots lost control
of their machines at an altitude of
500 feet.
Johnson is a commercial flyer and
has been flying for four years. Koch
was employed at the Craven-Dewing
garage here. McWhorters of Algona
has been travelling for the Mason
City Hide and Fur company here in
an advertising campaign.
The three were rehearsing an act
which they intended to perform for
county fairs in Minnesota and were
to have left tonight on their tour.
A large number of spectators saw
the fall and rushed to where the
planes were nosed into the ground
twenty rods apart.

POWDERED MILK FACTORY
Now Operating on Large Scale
At Waukon

Little is known throughout the
country of the advancement being
made in the dairy sections of the
middle west in the milk powder in
dustry. Milk powder is not new in
vention; on the contrary, its manu-
| facture and distribution is a well
established industry. But powdered
milk that will return to the form and
full consistency of whole milk with
out breaking the fat globules and
upon which cream will rise and may
be churned into real butter, is q
new invention of the past two years
and its manufacture is today con-
fined to only four factories in the
United States, three of which are in
Wisconsin. The fourth recently con-
structed is located in Waukon, in the
very heart of the greatest dairy
section of Iowa.
Iowa's only factory is now operat-
ing daily in Waukon and producing
large quantities of the powder. The
Waukon product is called "Murco",
deriving its name from the incorpora-
ton, 1.-THE Murphy Co." which owns
the plant DR.. Dick, the inventor, is
director of the International Dry
Milk Co., of Minneapolis and ST.
Paul, who own the patents ana VINO
grant rights to use the process and
receive a royalty on all production.
Farmers about Waukon bring their
milk in daily to the factory. A
sample is first taken from which TO
figure the price on butterfat basis.
Other samples are also taken from
the mixed milk for further tests
which are made in the laboratory OF
the plant. The milk is first weighed,
strained, then pumped into clarifier
which operates similar to cream
separator and which takes from the
milk every particle of dirt which the
strainer failed to get. This process
alone especially recommends the pro-
duct for infant feeding. From the
clarifer the milk runs by gravity
through a brine cooler which chills
it and prepares it for keeping fresh
in the mammoth glass lined, brine
cooled holding tank where small
propeller keeps the milk, in motion
and prevents the cream from rising
while it is, being pumped from the
tank to the top story of the build
ing, Here it first passes through a
pasteurizing or pre-heating process
and then into the spray where 1t
flows through several discs revolving
at 1850 revolutions per minute,
which spray it out like fine mist
into the top of the huge cell. 1t
is in this cell that the change from
whole milk to powder takes place in
twenty seconds time. --Waukon

Threshing Machine Blows I'm

Humboldt, Iowa-The Knutson,
Nelson and Ersland threshing Com
pany had an accident last week while
threshing for A. Anderson on the
James Nervig farm, which might
have proven very serious.
The separator was blown up by
what was supposed to have been a
dust explosion. The water glass on
the engine burst and the escaping
steam frightened the teams of the
men who were hauling to the separa-
tor so that they started to run and
the separator tender had just jump
ed off the separator to help catch
the team and at that instance the
explosion occurred.
1t seems that bursting of the wa
ter glass saved the men who were
in the most dangerous positions, as
no one was injured in any way.

Band Concerts Cause Trouble

Sigoumey, Iowa-Why is band
concert?
This is the question asked by
many Sigourney merchants, tired of
the disagreements and arguments
brought on by the choosing of the
dates and place for the concerts
which are held each week. This
spring Sigourney hired band
leader and started out fourishingly,
but soon the contributions for the
concerts became too small. Some
business men wanted the concerts
on Saturday, some on Wednesday
and some didn't want any at all.
But, compromise was effected and
now Sigourney has band concert
on Wednesday evening one week
and on Saturday evening the next
week. And, although the band stand
is on the northeast corner of the
square, a temporary platform is
erected each week on a different
corner so that there may be no
hard feelings on that score.
The result of these compromises
is that one must come to town
every Wednesday and every Satur-
day so that he may not miss con-
cert, for only an expert mathema-
tician could keep track of the dates,
and, moreover, he must park each of
his four cars on a different side of
the square to be sure of a good
seat.
