RArLwa@ o CUT RATES
Important Meeting to be Held in
Chicago Later, which Will Discuss
Rate Problem More Freely

Developments which were declar-
ed to pressage early reduction in
railroad freight rates and clearing
of the railroad situation generally,
came at Washington, Saturday, from
several railway quarters.
A group of prominent railroad ex-
ecutives conferred with President
Harding and Senator Cummins, re-
publican, Iowa, chairman Of the SEN
ate, and discussed steps toward
freight rates reductions preliminary
to the executives meeting at Chi
cago, October IA.
Rate reductions also was the prin-
cipal topic on the program at a
meeting of democratic and republi-
can senators comprising the unof-
fetal agricultural "bloc." Senators
attending the meeting said there
was wide and vigorous demand for
rate cuts, as imperative to the agri-
cultural interests.
Senator Cummins, after his con-
ference with the railway executives,
said he believed they would adopt at
their Chicago meeting his sugges-
tions for an immediate reduction of
freight rates. No definite assur-
ances to this effect were given him
at the conference. he explained, but
he expressed the opinion that the re-
auctions would be made by the car
riers voluntarily.
The carriers then. Senator Cum
Minis said. probably would ask the
railroad labor board to reduce
wages or appeal to congress for leg
islation to meet the situation caus-
ed by the voluntary rate reductions
The railway executives in the con-
ference included T. Dewitt Cuyler,
representing railway security hold
ers' organization; Samuel Rea, pres
ident OF the Pennsylvania system;
President Smith OF the New York
Central. President Holden of the
Burlington system, and julius Krutt-
schnitt, chairman of the Southern
Pacific.
"The railway executives" said
Senator Cummins after the confer
ence, "feel that the only substantial
way to reduce rates is to reduce
wages. They also feel that the wage
fixing functions of the railroad labor
board should be transferred to the
interstate commerce commission,
which has the rate making. or return,
powers"
Senator Cummins said he did not
gather that the railway executives
favored complete adjustment of the
labor board. but believed that the
same federal authority which estab-
lished railroad rates, or returns,
should also have power to establish
wages. This would require amend
ment by congress of the transporta-
ton act and may be brought up later,
after the Chicago conference.

CAFE CHANGES HANDS

The virginian Cafe. which has
been closed for the past month, was
sold the fore part of the week to c.
o. White and Jess vandivier, OF Har-
Ian. A force of workmen have been
employed in cleaning the place the
past few days, with the intention OF
opening for business on Saturday
morning. Mr.. Vandiyier will be in
charge OF the business, but we un-
derstand Mr.. White will move his
family here about the first Of De-
The Cafe was sold by John
Horning, who was appointed trustee
when Fred Morrison. the former
owner. took the bankruptcy law.
The new owners come highly
recommended and will no doubt give
a splendid eating house.
Their new cook has arrived and IL
he can deliver the goods. there is no
reason why the Virginian Cafe
should not do thriving business.

over the community in which she
lived so many years.

IOWA HAS ITS INNING
October Weather Brings Rare Beau
ty to Those Who Enjoy Gods
Great Outdoors.

Now arrives the season of the
year wherein Iowa stands alone and
resplendent. There is nothing in the
world like an Iowa October when
Iowa is on her good behavior. Along
about the 29th Of September or the
first OF October frost comes, not a
sharp freeze, but timely frost that
nips the tender foliage and hints
gently of colder days to come, the
kindly warning nature gives to the
dilatory who haven't bought their
coal and looked over the storm win
dows and gathered their pumpkins.
From then on the air chills as the
sun goes down and bites with a
pleasing tang, and the morning air
that comes through the open win
dow says good morning to goose
pimples. But the sun peeps
through the east and southern win
dows with smile and the little fire
in the furnace when you go down
stairs is the essence of comfort.
Breakfast tastes different.
Seven o'clock and sun up and a
world that looks good as far as the
eye reaches. smoke steaming up
straight from chimney, sounds that
come from afar OF wagons rumbling
out to work, the explosion of the
motors take on sharp stacatto, the
leaves are turning red on the line of
maple trees along the street, and
over all the sunshine like golden
flood and the air like wine (before
the Volstead act came into force)
Life is something new and glor-
ious in an Iowa October. All the raw
ing of italian skies" and gentle
coast breezes" fades into bunk. An
Iowa October is the apotheosis of
weather, the supreme. effort of Prov
idence and providential kindness
to man.
The grass stays green while the
leaves turn the groves into a glory
of color. The yellow elm leaves
freckle the close mown links of the
golf courses, the birds gather in
masses to discuss the ways and
means of the southern flight, the
ducks come slipping down from the
north on the easy stages of their
trail to the summer. the cattle pack
together on the hillsides. across the
field comes the thump OF heavy ears
falling against the bang boards
where the final crop of the year is
being harvested. the roads are rib
bons of smooth passage reckoning
and teasing toward far horizons. dry
under foot, blue and deep overhead,
sun and shade and color, and every
where the bounty Of the autumn
Iowa in October
"Breathes there a man with soul
so dead that never to himself hath
said" this is my own, my native
Iowa, land of infinite opportunity
where God showers his best gifts
upon man. Can any exist in Iowa in
October who fails to see and realize
the grandeur and beauty of life
within her borders7 "If such there
be, go mark him well; the wretch,
concentrated all in SELF" shall go
down unlamented and "unsung. to
the vile dust from whence he
sprung"

COON RAPIDS MAYOR DROWNED

News reached Audubon Tuesday
OF the accidental drowning Of 0. v.
Middleton, mayor of the town Of
Coon Rapids. Mr.. Middleton was
drowned in the large city water tank
while making some repairs on the
trap door. 1t is thought that while
working in the heavy wind that was
blowing, he was thrown off balance
and fell into the tank. A painter
was working on the opposite side OF
the tank. but did not see the acct
dent. Another workman who had
been sent after cold chisel, on re-
turning to the tank, saw the may
or's hat floating on the top of the
water. An investigation was made
at once, with the result that Middle
toms body was found in the bottom
OF the tank 1t was known that he
could not swim and this accounted
for his body sinking as soon as 1t
fell into the water.
Mr.. Middleton was quite well
known in this part Of Audubon coun-
ty. He was prominent Mason and
for several years managed the estate
of Chas. Stuart in Guthrie county.
A STANCE coincident is that Mr..
Middleton contemplated celebrating
his 50th birthday at his home that
night.

AID AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS
w. II. Green, of Ninth Iowa District,
Gives Interview Regarding
Help to Farmers.

In some quarters there is the opin-
ion that Congress has been willing
20 help the industries of the east,
but that it has been unwilling to
come to the assistance OF the farm
er. This is not true, as will be seen
by the following interview which
was given by Congressman Green
of the Ninth Iowa District. Because
the people of this community are so
we'll acquainted with Mr.. Green and
have implicit faith in him, the in
terview will be of special interest to
our readers:
THE plight of the farmer has
been fully appreciated by the pres
emit Congress, which has passed
more laws intended for his benefit
than ever before. In fact every def
mite plan which the farmers organ
izations have agreed upon have been
enacted into law.
1.-THE first of these measures was
my Farmers Emergency Tariff bill.
So far only the farmers have receiv-
ed any relief from the Underwood
democratic tariff bill.
Shortly after followed the bill
to restrict trading in grain futures
and the bill to control the packers,
both of which were strongly urged
and supported by the farm organ
izations.
Very important measures were
also passed enabling the Federal
Land Banks to market its bonds and
resume making loans without in
creasing its rates to the farmers, al
so 20 authorize the War Finance
Corporation to use billion dollars
to purchase farm paper, finance the
export of farm products, and sus-
tain farm credits. For the first
time provision was made for twelve
months time ON ordinary farm
paper and three-year loans secured
by liens on live stock, this last pro-
vision being particularly for the
benefit of the western cattle raiser.
This Congress has also created a
Joint Congressional Agricultural
Commission to report on agricul-
tural conditions for the purpose Of
ascertaining what further Legislative
action may be taken which will be
balnf,tI N fha farmar
"To expect Congress to complete
ly remedy the situation is to expect
the impossible. Legislation cannot
stop the natural and inevitable eff
feet of wasted billions in world
wide war. nor can it restore TO Eu-
rope its purchasing power. Work
and thrift only can do that. Nor
can Congress revoke the natural law
Of supply and demand and make
corn worth as much after three
record-breaking crops IN succession
Ia thing never known before--as
1t would be IL we had had short
crops for the last two years. On
the other hand, Congress has con-
sidered that agriculture was not
only the most important of our in
dustries but was suffering from the
present depression in business, and
has placed it first and above all
other industries in the matter of re-
lief measures. So far as other lines
OF business are concerned no bills
have passed and none have been pro-
posed except the complet tariff bill
and bill to authoriz the War FL
nance Corporation to negotiate half
a billion OF railroad securities"
