KILLED BY AN
| ELECTRIC WIRE
Roy Haslip Met Death This Morn
ing at New Butcher Shop
Building of Holmberg &
Erickson.
CAUGHT HOLD
OF ELECTRIC WIRE
Was Working in Basement of Build
ing. Lived Only Short
Time After Shock.

A deplorable accident happened
at the new butcher shop building un-
der erection for Homberg & Erickson
on East Water. street about eight
o'clock this morning, which cost the
life of Roy Haslip, a carpenter in
,he employ o. Contractor Albert
Austad. Roy was at work in the
basement of the building. An cleo
trio light wire was connected to one
in the butcher shop next door, and
this was used to light the basement.
Whether the ensulation was off the
wire or just how it happened, we
do not know, but understand Roy
was in the act of moving the light
to another place in the room, when
he got the shock, which caused his
death. We understand the wire car
ried voltage of 110, but the base
ment floor was wet, which made it
the more serious.
Drs. Hexom and jewell were on
the scene of the accident shortly
after it happened, but nothing could
be done to save the young man.
He was son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Amos Haslip, who reside in the for
mer +. K. Hovden residence on East
Water street. He was born in Al
lamakee county "a years ago. The
family have been residents here
three years, and Roy had been is
the employ of Mr.. Austad for the
past two years. He was fine young
man, well liked by everybody and
his sudden death is a severe shock
to all. He was a world war SOL
der also. He is survived by his
parents, one brother and one sister.
An inquest will be held over his
remains this afternoon at 1:30, to
determine the cause of the accident
Arrangements for the funeral ser
vices have not been made at this
writing.

GETS
STATE CHARTER
Local Company Now Ready to Drill
For Oil and Gas Here,
And Sell Stock.
THE BOOKS ARE
NOW OPEN
Company Getting Leases on Land,
And Expect Big Derrick Here
Any Day Now.

The preliminary work of getting
ready to drill for oil and gas in De-
corah is we'll under way now. A
few days ago Atty. j. A. Nelson re-
ceived a charter from the state, for
the company here, to permit the de-
velopment and drilling for oil anc
gas, and also to sell stock. The
books of the company are now open,
and the company is getting leases on
various pieces of land here. The
derrick has. not arrived yet, but is
expected most any day.
As soon as the leases are COM
pleted, the geologists will come and
pick out the most likely spot to
start the drilling, and this is ex-
pected sometime within the next ten
days.
An Office of the company has been
opened up the the west side room Of
the Winneshiek hotel and any in
formation concerning the project can
be secured by those in charge.
Mr.. o. Brown, of Breckenridge
Texas, is here now and will have
charge of the sale of stock. He
has his Office in the Winneshiek.
A few days more will no doubt
see things humming here, when the
big derrick arrives and actual drill
ing operations start.

Visiting Relatives

Millions of people used to spend
vacations in visiting relatives.
Country folks went to "see" their
city cousins, and the city folks
camped down on Uncle Reuben. In
those days of free and easy times
the latch string was always open,
and people took care of unexpected
guests without getting fustered
If people could see chance to get
away, they wrote to their friends
that they would be glad to come
and visit them. The suggestion was
rarely turned down. The visitors
helped with the housework, every
one had jolly time, and family ties
were kept close.
In these times people are not sat
isfied unless they entertain in a sty-
lish way. The folks who used to
spend weeks with relatives perhaps
come and take a meal or make an
afternoon call. Labor is saved foi
the housewife, but the old family
intimacies are breaking up.

/. Under any economic or indus
trial system men and women must
inevitably continue to work for
wages.
2. Some workers must always
be paid more wages than others
workers, either owing to special
ability or the class of work per-
formed.
3. No worker can continuously
be paid wages that he does not earn.
A. The value of the work must
be controlled by the saleable value
of the articles produced.
8. The cost of living is governed
by the cost of production, both in
regard to primary products and
secondary manufactures.
6. The community cannot expect
cheap bread, meat and other foods
at the expense of the farmer and
grazier.
Z. Shorter hours of work must in
crease the cost of all articles, in
cluding food and clothing.
8. The maximum output in the
hours worked, will result in cheapen-
ing the articles produced, as the
cost of production inevitably governs
the selling price.
9. Men and women in a free
country cannot be prevented from
saving money and acquiring proper
ty.
10. In order to promote industrial
development and provide work, the
nation must continue to depend upon
its intellectual citizens.
IL. The community or nation that
develops most brain power and in

Iperous, and brains must inevitably
command more reward than mere
manual labor.

WHY join THE
FARM BUREAU?
Every Member Get Member" Will
Be The Slogan For One Day
State Wide Membership

is THE BIG DAY
Effort Will be Made to Boost the
Present Enrolment to 10000
Members. !.

There are many farm organizations
of one kind and another. In aim, OBJ
jects and ambitions the Farm Bureau
is not particularly different from
other farm organizations. Like the
various denominations in church
work, which are all striving for the
same end, the farm organizations are
travelling the same road, the differ
ence being mainly in matters OF gov
ernment, procedure, discipline" etc.
At the same time it should be rec
ognized that the Farm Bureau has
certain advantages over many other
and older farm organizations For
one thing it is new, up-to-the-minute
in matters Of business rules and us
age, which have undergone marked
changes during and since the great
war. Again, and this is important,
the Farm Bureau has the strength,
the power, the popularity and the in
fiuence that inevitably go with large
membership, and for this reason 1t is
able to accomplish many things, es-
pecially in the way of legislation, that
are denied to smaller, weaker organi-
cations.
In business economies, as in other
lines new machinery becomes neces-
sary from time to time, to fit in with
changing conditions Today the Farm
Bureau is the one outstanding far
mers' organization that is getting re-
suits, and for that reason, If for no
other, Is the logical one for the pro-
gressive farmer to join.
Membership Drive Ready to Go.
Farm Bureau workers over the
state have completed plans for the
member ship drive to be conducted
Wednesday, October IL. The drive
will be limited to the one day, and
a concerted effort will be made to
boost the present enrolment to l50,.

A series of district conferences
were scheduled for the last week in
September and the first week in Oc'
tober by way of preparation for the
day. These conferences, one in each
of the eleven congressional districts
of the state, to be in charge or the
local member of the Executive Com
mittee of the Federation, were design
ed to be a school of instruction for
special workers for the day, in order
that the same plan of campaign might
be adopted over the state and every
county go forward in harmony with
every other county.
The Farm Bureau membership fee
is s. a year. 1t is divided as follows:
81 remains with the local county or
ganization, so cents goes to the State
Federation and 80 cents to the Amer
ican Farm Bureau Federation, the
payment of the S. fee giving mem
bership in the three organizations
The dues in Iowa are cheaper than
in many other states, where the an
nnal fee Is $40
