BURN CORN IF you HAVE TO

Normal times will return to the
people of the United States shortly;
they will be with us again before we
realized that the change has taken
place." Henry c. Wallace. secretary
of agriculture, who is in Des Moines
attending the annual meeting of the
Iowa Fair Managers association.
ST believe the depression has
Stacked up considerably already"
Mr.. Wallace said.
Mr.. Wallace was asked IL he
thought the farmer should burn his
corn.
This is matter for intelligent
thought and decision" he replied
"If the farmer needs the money and
must make sacrifice to get money
with which to buy fuel, and il he can
burn corn at. saving over the cost of
coal, then believe 1t is right.
However, If the farmer can hold
his corn for higher prices, which I
believe will come, and IL he can buy
fuel cheaper, then he should save
his corn ;"

SCHOOL TEACHER
KILLED in CELLAR
DEMENTED FARMER RESIDING
NEAR SCHOOL HOUSE ARREST
ED ON CHARGE OF MURDER.

Earl Throst, young farmer, is
under arrest at Waukon and must
explain the finding of bloody over
alls at his home, following the dis
covery of che body of Miss Igna Mag
nusen, pretty school teacher, in the
! cellar Of the school house just north
west of Dorchester. Tuesday night.
The arrest was made at Postville.
Il came as the climax of a hunt
made with blood hounds that took
their scent from a block OF wood
with which the young woman's head
had been crushed. The dogs led dep
uty sheriffs to the Throst farm
house, which was locked. At che
house was a note which instructed
Earl to stay there until his parents
returned from Caledonia, an adjoin-
ing town. But there was no sign of
Earl about the farm.
The door was broken open and the
dogs rushed through the house until
they came to the young mans room.
There overalls, bloodstained and
torn, were found.
The dogs shifted the overalls and
then leaving the house, went 20
farm Just over the Minnesota line,
where it was reported that a pony
was stolen that night The dogs fol-
lowed the trail of pony and reach
ed another house, where the author
tiles were told a man resembling
Throst had stopped to rest a pony
about 5 o'clock yesterday morning.
The man ate breakfast at that house
and left about 7.
At Postville a man was arrested
and papers in his pocket convinced
the authorities he is Earl Throst.
He refused to say anything.
From the evidence found at the
school, the teacher apparently had
gone to the cellar to fix the fire be-
fore leaving the building for the
night. When her father, brother
and neighbor looked for her they
found the school room in order, but
by chance decided to look in the cell
lar, whore they found the body.

AUDUBON WINS
and LOSES GAME
GIRLS BASKET BALL TEAM
WINS GAME, WHILE BOYS
TEAM LOSES ONE.

The two teams from the Audubon
public schools went to Irwin last
Friday night to play their first game
of the season. The girls won their
game by a wide margin, but the boys
team lost their game by one point.
The crowded floor space was a Sc
we're handicap to the Audubon
teams.
The girls team won their game
by score of Al to g. Audubon
made their first score within two
minutes after the game started when
Daisy Johnson made her first bas-
ket. From then on they practically
scored at will The work of the
guards and centers Kept the Irwin
team from making single point
in the first half of the game, which
closed 10 to 0. During this period
DDaisy Johnson shot five field bas-
Grace Mclaughlin shot one basket.
At the beginning of the second
half of the game the position Of the
players on the Audubon team was
completely changed. The change
seemed to work exceptionally well,
for the home team kept on scoring
and prevented Irwin from making
any showing to speak Of. During
this half, Daisy Johnson shot ten
field baskets. and WyEona Master
son four.
The Audubon lineup was as fol-
lows: Forwards, Daisy Johnson,
Grace Mclaughlin; centers. Ger
trude Barentsen, Wynona Master
son; guards. Dorothy Beason, Re-
land Spencer.
The boys game was an exciting
one from start to finish. The OPP
ponents were all large. husky play
ers, and had been playing the game
since the first of November Re-
CARELESS of the disadvantage to
which our boys worked, the score at
the first half stood to- z in favor
of Audubon. The Irwin team show
ed real speed when they started the
second half of the game. They
were exceptionally lucky, for they
shot five baskets from the center
of the floor. With only two min
utes of playing left, Kruse was in
jured and Niklason was substituted.
At this point the score stood IL to
IL in favor of Irwin, but when the
final whistle blew, Irwin had but
one point to The good.
The Audubon lineup was as fol-
lows: Center, Cramer; guards, Nell
son and Jensen; forwards, Kruse
and Gardner. Substitution, Nikla-
son for Kruse.

oADDooK TO wREsTLE sTEcHER
Iowa's Favorite Son TO Prove He Is
Master of the NebraslSan, in. New
York, Early IN Januar

The banners Of. Iowa and Nepras-
ka will be carried into Tex Richards
arena in Madison Square garden, in
New York, the night of January 9Th,
when Earl Caddock, of Anita, meets
Joe Stecher, of Dodge. Gene Mela-
dy, Caddock's manager, Tuesday
night received a telegram from the
Gotham promoter stating that the
match would be held on the above
date and that a contract would be
sent Immediately.
Melady accepted Richards terms
last week and notified him that Cad
| dock was ready to meet Stecher "any
time. anywhere" At that time
Stecher had not agreed to match
with the Iowan.
The match should prove the best
of the season, for both grapplers are
aggressive and among the topnotsh-
ers in the game and have the largest
following.
In 1917, Caddock beat Steciier in
two out of three falls and in Janu-
airy, 1920. Stecher threw Caddock in
a one-fall match after two hours
and five minutes of struggling.
At the time the latter match was
staged, Caddock had not been out
of army service long and was Is
or 20 pounds under weight. He also
was nursing broken bone in his
shoulder.
However, Melady did not attempt
any alibis. but he believes his charge
is capable of handling the Nebraskan
and says he will demonstrate H.
Both men will enter the ring with
the privilege of using their favorite
holds, as the only hold now barred
by the New York commission is the
strangle.
Richard states in his telegram to
Melady that he will atttmpt to have
pin falls instead of rolling falls. This
will serve to insure faster match
as neither grappler would want to
go 20 the mat with rolling falls
counting.
Caddock will weigh around 1873
pounds while Stecher will have the
edge on him by about 25 pounds.

CHILDREN ENJOY FRoLIC

The children enjoyed frolic last
Saturday when the Alderman Com
pany gave away a number of toy
whistles. A large crowd congregat-
ed in front of the big department
store before dinner in order 60 be
on hand promptly at 1890 o'clock
when the distribution was to take
place. There was lively scramble.
1t provided a great deal of amuse-
ment for the children. 1t was a
clever wa yof putting out holiday
advertising, and the manager, ]. A.
Lougheed, said he knew of nothing
more effective than to have some
thing of interest for the children.
During the afternoon hours the
children were given another treat
when souvenirs were given away at
the johnson Grocery, and Santa
Claus made his appearance.

RAIL WORKERS 4
OVERTIME IS Gu.
NEW RULES MADE WHEREBY
SOME EMPLOYEES TO RECEIVE
PAY AFTER 10 HOURS LABOR

Changes in overtime pay are the
outstanding feature Of new rules
which the railroad labor board pro-
mulgated in Chicago, Tuesday, for
maintenance OF way rail workers
The rules take effect Friday and
they effect some $4,000 men under
normal business conditions, the
number at present being greatly re-
duced
Under the decision, time and a
half rates are TO be paid after the
tenth hour of work instead of after
the eighth as under the old national
working agreement. The finding
reaffirms the "basic" eight hour
day. It sets forth that except as
otherwise provided in these rules,
eight consecutive hours. exclusive
of the meal period, shall constitute
a days work"
old rules. But punitive overtime
hours work. For the ninth and
tenth hours pay is to be at the reg
ular hourly rate. After that the so
per cent extra goes on.
While II Is a pronounced change,
the ola national agreement dppl1eu
the same principle to a large class
of maintenance OF way employees.
Under the old rules, the time and a
half rate started after the tenth
hour for laborers employed in extra
or floating gangs whose employment
is seasonal and temporary. The
board extends this principle to regu-
lar track hands.
What the saving to the roads will
be in dollars and cents none Of the
figure wrestlers is able to compute.
Estimates place it as low as $780,
900 month and as high as $780,
900 month, depending on the sea-
son, on the financial situation of
the roads. and on the factor of gem
eral business depression or activity.
It's a guess.
