Demands Made by Men. ' The demands made by the opera­tors, submitted just 24 hours before :the walkout, were as follows:

Day work—six days, eight hours daily, $30 a week, and overtime and extra at the rate of 60 cents an hour.

Night work—Six nights, eight hours, $35 a week, and overtime and extra 'at the rate of 75 cents an hour.

Vacations to remain as at present A proportionate increase for chief

and subchlef operators. Mr. Stone's reply stated that he

had no power to grant the demands, and that, they would have to be sub­mitted to the board of directors and that it was impossible to call the board together'within the time named.

"The changes involved arl so radi­cal," the reply states, "as to add over $100,000 a year, and probably more, to the expense of this organization. The Associated Press is mutual in its character, makes no profits and has no surplus fund out of which such a eum could be paid. Any such in­crease must of necessity be levied back upon the newspapers as a part of their weekly assessments." Operators Present Formal Demands.

Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 14.—A com­mittee of the strikers formally present-ed thelr demands for a 15 per cent, in-crease and eight hours to the local managers of the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph companies. The telegraph officials declined to receive them as coming from the union and the strikers withdrew to. consider further the situation. .

That is what «ne lady writes and millions of others-prove they believe, by using more Arbuckles' ARIOSA Coffee than all the other packaged coffees in the United States put together, .

The fact that Arbuckles' ARIOSA Coffee costs less and has suited the health and taste of most American people for over

37 years, ought to induce every­body to at least sample it. M

Kendallville. There is no use trying to catch any

fish here in the river since the name j has been changed to Oneota Elliotta | Wanawa; it is as much as ever that we

. can tell where we live now. I Mrs. Geo. Daskam and sister, Mrs. | Fifield of Fayette, left last week for a visit with relatives at Monticello, Minn.

Will Deane, carrier on route 1, had the misfortune to forget the Kendall-

i ville mail pouch on Monday. If the P. O. Department can furnish a larger mail pouch it might help some. Of course we never did care about a daily | mail here, as we live way out on the river Oneotaelliotawahawa, but you bet there will be something doing on route 1 if this happens many more times. If there is anything wrong with the mail pouch have it fixed, but what­ever you do, don'jt forget the little dog.

G. C. Burgess had to bring the mail to Kendallville Monday. Daisy lost his gum and forgot to bring the mail—you ought to have something to cool the blood.

The oat crop around here seems to be very uneven as some fields show a very good quality of grain, while some other nearby fields on close examina­tion appear not to have filled out very good and are very light.

Mrs. Nettie Kendall gave a supper last Tuesday evening for the benefit of the Eddy Cemetery Association, the proceeds amounting to nearly three dollars. Ihe next supper will be given at the home of Mrs. Arthur Curtis du­ring the first week in September. Everybody is cordially invited to attend.

The plate glass front is here, the carpenters have the store front nearly ready to receive the new window, and the building will be ready for plaster­ing very soon. This will be the first Department Store for the village.

Mrs. Mary Porter and son Harry, of Irwin, S. D., concluded their visit here and returned to their home last week.

There seems to be some attraction north of the village on a. Sunday even­ing for some of the young gents in this vicinity. That is all right, you bet. "When the Frost is On the Pumpkin, Maggie Dear;" good song; we like to hear it.

Don't forget that Walt . Kendall bought the machine oil he is selling before John D. got stuck for the 29,-240;000. It will sound like 23 for John D.

Elsie Handke has been engagad to work in the store for Joe Johnson; the increase in trade demands more help and Joe is helping to harvest the crops on his farm near here.

"•"A. "3*. IPIISIiiS DIED' SMM KETTLESON,

Charles G. Kettleson was born In Norway, January 6, 1841. He was one in a family of four, two sons and two daughters, born to Mr. and Mrs. Ger­man Kettleson. While yet an infant, his parents moved to Wisconsin, and later, to this county.

In 1852 he enlisted in Company K of the 26th regulars, and served three years. He died on the old home farm, in Paris township, in this county.

He was married, in 1869, to Miss Mary Garfield, who, with three sons and five daughters survives him. Two sons died in early childhood.

Mr. Kettleson was a plain man of the people; honest, earnest, industrious; loyal to his friends, his country and his God. He will be sadly missed; not for his seeming, but for his being.„
