INDUSTRIAL SLUMP
Is BEING PRoBED

Washington, July 15.-Prifiteering
by middlemen, speculative gambling,
arbitrary restriction of credits by the
federal reserve board, exorbitant rail
road rates and the breakdown of for
egn markets are responsible for agri-
cultural and industrial depression in the
United States Col. Smith w. Brook
heart, of Iowa, representing the Ma
tional Farmers union, declared Mon
day when the special joint COMPRESSION
al commission opened its probe of ag-
ricultural conditions.
Cooperative distribution ,prohibi-
ton of gambling, freer credits and tax
alton of war profits were urged as
remedies by Brookheart.
The investigation will go into:
Cause of the present condition of
agriculture.
2-Difference between prices Of
farm products paid to producer and
ultimate cost to consumers.
3-Comparative conditions of indus
tries other than agriculture, including
relative prices of commodities.
Banking and financial resources
and credits and marketing and trans

ANSWERED THE ROLL GALL

The funeral of the late Joseph Yule,
mention of whose death was made in
the issue of The Post last week, was
held Monday afternoon, July IL, at
the Presbyterian church in this city,
Rev. VIM. Eadie in charge. Interment
was in Highland cemetery at New Cas-
tie, and in the G. A. R. burial plot.
Mr.. Yule had for 80 years been a
resident of this county, having at first
settled on ranch on Garfield creek.
He was one of the charter members of
General Shields Post G. A. R., which
was organized at New Castle February
u, 1890.
In the early sixties when our flag
was threatened by the enemy, Joseph
Yule, hearing the first call for volun-
teers, shouldered a musket and hur-
ried to the Southland where he pla eed
his breast as a barricade between the
bullets of the enemy and Old Glory.
None loved to see it float out on the
breeze more than he, and none would
present more stubborn resistance to
prevent its being trampled under foot.
Resolutions of Respect
Whereas, 1t has pleased the Almighty
God in His wise providence to remove
from our midst our worthy comrade,
Joseph Yule,
Resolved, That we, the members of
the Grand Army of the Republic, do
extend to the bereaved wife, Mrs. Yule,
our heartfelt sympathies.
Resolved, That while we deeply
mourn her sudden loss, we do most
humbly bow to the will of our Heaven
ly Father.
Resolved, That copy of these reso-
lutions be sent to Mrs. Yule, and to the
press for publication, and copy to
