Assurance that the house Will pass
soldiers bonus bill VERY early in
the coming regular session Of con-
gress" was given In Washington on
Tuesday by Representative Fordney
of Michigan, chairman of the ways
and means committee, in 9 state
ment denouncing the bonus amend.
ment to the pending tax bill.
Mr.. Fordney urged that the Reed
amendment be defeated in order
that the bonus bill may be taken up
soon. His statement caused some
surprise among house members, in
view Of the administrations strong
opposition to the passage Of the bon
M bill.
Regardless Of Senator Reeds
motives, his amendment to the rev.
enue bill supporting to effect adj
justed compensation for the ex-serv-
ice men, will only serve to delay and
hinder pressing legislation." said
Mr.. Fordney. This amendment to
the revenue bill. at q time when the
legislative situation in the senate
smachs of q democratic filibuster--
and Senator Reed 10 one Of the chief
talkers--will undoubtedly create
suspicion OF the veterans OF the SEN
ator's sincerity.
Senator Reed may know that his
amendment cannot under parliainen-
tary procedure of congress appropri-
ate one penny to pay bonus. APP
propriations must eminate from the
committees Of con-
gress. The revenue bill, coming
from the ways and means COMMITTEES
Of the house and the finance com
mittee OF the senate, cannot anthor-
ixe appropriations.
every early in the coming regular
session OF congress the house un-
doubtedly will pass an adjusted
compensation bill. Senator Reeds
action will hinder the passage Of the
revenue bill, which must be disposed
OF before the ways and means conn
mittee can consistently take mp the
bonus bill. As author Of the adjust
ed compensation bill let me ask Sem
ator Reed to end his long talks and
consequent delay Of the business at
hand. The sooner he does this the
sooner we can get at the bonus
BILL"

HAS A GOOD PATENT

Leo. A. Riggs. Of this city. has a
patent on a garage door hanger that
is entirely different from anything
now on the market. From all indi-
cations 1t IL going to prove great
benefit to the people of the country.
He has the patent right in the United
States and Canada. At the present
time the track and hangers are being
manufactured and it will not be long
until the finished product VIII be put
upon the market. Mr.. Riggs has a
small sample that he has been dem
onstrating with of late and all who
see 1t are convinced that he has q
product that will find ready sale.
It is the most convenient thing ever
produced in its line and those who
are in position to know, give It their
opinion that the article will find q
ready sale. !,
1t is to be hoped that the inven-
tion will be as great a success as Mr..
Riggs contemplates, and that within
q comparatively short time factory
can be erected in Audubon so that
the article can be manufactured
right at home.

TO HEAR PRESIDENT
People Of New York and San Fran
cisco To Hear Harding's Funeral
Address ON Armistice Day.

Thousands of people gathered to
gether in two vast audiences. one a
New York and the other at SaI
Francisco. will hear President Hard
ing's address and the funeral servic.
over the body of an unknown Amer
lean soldier at Arlington Nationa
Cemetery, Washington, d. c., or
Armistice Day, November 18th. Tel
ephone equipment will be installed
in front of the Presidents stand In
the huge Arlington amphitheatre
which will carry the Presidents
voice over wires to New York and
San Francisco, where IL will be
transmitted to audiences through
loud-speaking devices recently per.
fected by the engineers of the Bell
System. Through loud speakers" in
stalled at Arlington, the Presidents
words will be carried to the thous-
ands Of U. 8. troops and civilians
assembled about him on the hillsides
who otherwise would not be able to
hear.
This will be the greatest funeral
service the world has ever known.
Never before in history has the head

such vast numbers Of people. Never
before have the words Of any leader
been carried to vast audiences as
sembled in opposite portions Of his
country. II indicates that the day
is not far distant when the President
can speak from his office in the
White House to audiences assembled
In every part of the country. While
the address at Washington will be
held at noon, the clocks at San Fran
cisco will show nine o'clock In the
morning.
Telephone engineers say that this
project Is one of the most important
and difficult they have ever under
taken. It is another great scientific
achievement and not merely a con-
Meeting up Of opposite ends of the
country by long distance telephone.
The cloud speakers" which will be
used in carrying the Presidents
voice out over the great audiences al

Gently. The apparatus required Is

desired, with as much force and
power as though the orator were in

FARMER ORGANIZATIONS UNITE

At meeting OF the Iowa Farm
ers' Union Of the First Congressional
district Of Iowa, at Fairfield. on
October 28th, around $50 farmer
members of that organization decid-
ed upon q definite plan for the mar
keting OF their grain and live stock.
General dissatisfaction with the
present system of handling farmers
products at the terminal markets was
expressed and 1t was planned to do
all in their power to work in conjunc-
ton with other farmer organizations
with view Of building up an eff
cient marketing system owned and
controlled by farmers.
As result of the Fairfield meet
ing, farmers of southeastern Iowa
heartily endorsed the grain and live
stock marketing organization Of the
Equity Cooperative Exchange. the
largest farmers cooperative insti-
tuition in the United States. Their
support was pledged in the building
OF farmers terminal grain elevator
at Chicago by the Equity Cooper
alive Exchange, and to the strength
ening of the only farmers co-operat-
i've live stock selling agency on the
Chicago market, which II also part

AWARDED $4,000 pAMAGEs

In the damage case In the district
court at Red Oak wherein Kate Her
zog brought suit against the Red
Oak Electric company, the jury
brought in verdict after being out
all night. finding in favor Of the
plaintiff for $4,000. The amount
of damages sued for was $4,000.
and it has been intimated that the
cause of the jury's long delibera-
ton was that several Of the jurors
favored allowing damage for the full
amount asked.
Miss Herzog lost two fingers and
received injury disfiguring her hand
while ironing with an electIG iron
at her home in June 1910. She al
legged that heavy voltage on the
wires was the cause Of the accident.
The defendant commended that It was
not because of the voltage that the
accident occurred but was the re-
suit Of defective cord attached to
the iron.
Time was given the defendant for
the filing Of motion for a new trial
but In all probability the case will
be carried to the supreme court.
