Harding Calls Conference.
Washington, June -N. Invitations
went out from the W lute House yes
both kory O'Connor and Eamon
De Valera have made appeals to the
people for support. Mr. De Valera
paper, the Republic of Ireland, which
lotted O'Connor's communique as a
".stop press" supplement, was posted
on walls in various parts of the city.
The communique was accompanied
bv an editorial statement saying:
"In Kory O'Connor and his com
rades lives the unbought and in

thracite fields of the United States
to meet President Harding Saturday
"to devise methods upon which ne
gotiations for the settlement of the
cat strike can be initiated.
John L. Lewis, ciiief of the United
Mine Workers, who remained in the
city after a personal interview with
the president, accepted at once in bc-
ialf of the union.
The wording of the president's
message was interpreted as demon
strating the desire of the administra
tion to hold the meeting above the
tontrovcrsies which have deadlocked
the unionized section of the industry
unce April 1. Official but informal
comment emphasized it was the in
tention that the conference should be
held merely to discuss ways and
means for a settlement and not to
take up the miners' demands for
continuation of wartime wage scales,
nor the operators' demand in the
bituminous field for separate district
wages supplementing the semi-national
wage contracts that have here
tofore been made.
Boone, la., June 28. The non
union wagon mine of the Boone Bib
lical college near here, which closed
down Saturday following a request
by union officials, resumed operations
today, according to members of the
local union of the United Mine
Workers of America.
It is considered likely that strik
ing miners of the vicinity will visit
the mine in a body tomorrow and
again request that the pit be closed.
Similar demonstrations have been
made at several other nonunion
mines in Iowa, and in all cases the
pits are reported to have closed.
Stage Demonstration.
Punxsutawney, Pa., June 28. A
large crowd of men, said to be strik
ing miners and sympathizers, went
from this region to Valier in auto
mobiles, wagons and afoot, and
staged a demonstration at a number
of working mines.
Reports to county officials said
mat many ot tne working miners
walked out but that three men who
refused to quit work were assaulted
and badly beaten.
As a result, the mines which had
been operating with about 300 men
since the strike began, were closed.
The owners, all residents of Punx
sutawney, have appealed to Sheriff
S. A. Lowrie at Brookville for aid.
f he regular army command is tak
ing the most elaborate precautions
to exclude from Dublin anybody
or any supplies intended to aid the
irregulars. F.vcry road leading into
the city has been blocked and is tin
dcr the guard of armed men. The
Great Southern railway has been cut
at several points and its is reported
that an important bridge has been
blown up.
College Green, the center of the
city, was almost deserted today.
Impassioned Plea.
An impassioned plea "for all citi
zens of the Irish republic," to rally
to its support in this supreme test
of the nation's destiny," is contained
in a proclamation issued by the Irish
army insurgents who are holding the
four courts against the free state
forces.
"The fateful hour has come at
the dictation of our heriditary ene
my." says the appeal, "and our right
ful cause is being treacherously as
sailed by recreant Irishmen.
The crash of arms and the boom
of artillery reverberate in this su
preme test of the nation's destiny.
Uaiiant sldier ot the Irish re
public, stand firm in its defense and
worthily uphold their noblest tradi
tions. The sacred spirits oi the illus
trious dead are with us in this great
struggle. Death before dishonor be-
11 g an unchanging principle of our
national faith as it was found, they
still inspire us to emulgate their
glorious efforts.
We especially appeal to our form
er comrades in the Irish republic to
return to that allegiance and thus
guard the nation's honor from the
nfamous stigma that her sons aided
her foes in retaining the hateful
domination over her."
Washington, June 2. 'farm's 011
foodstuff occupied the attention of
the senate again today, with com
mittee rates on milk, cream, poultry
and honey receiving overwhelming
endorsement despite fights from the
democratic side and some opposition
fiom the majority side in the case
of the rate on cream. Duties ap
proved were:
Milk, fresh, 2 1-2 rents a gallon,
house rate, 1 cent; onr and butter
milk, 1 rent a gallon, house rate, 1-2
rent; cream. 22 1-2 vents a gallon,
house rate from S to 111 cents; milk
powder, 5 cents a pound, house rate,
8 cents.
Poultry, alive, 3 cents a pound,
house rate, 2 cents; dressed, cents
a pound, house rate, 4 cents; all
other poultry, dressed, 8 cents per
pound, house rate, 20 per rent ad
valorem; poultry, prepared or pre
served and not specially provided
for, 35 per cent ad valorem, house
rate, 22 per cent.
Honey, 3 cents a pound, house
rate, 2 1-2 cents. j
Debate over milk and cream duties
developed a controversy among New
t.ngland senators. The amendment
of Senator Lodge, republican leader,
to provide for 10 cents a gallon on
all imported cream not used for mak
ing butter, was rejected, S3 to 19.
Discussion of the proposed duty
on honey brought forth considerable
humor and sarcasm from the demo
cratic side. Senator Stanley of Ken
tucky remarked that no doubt the
duty was designed to sustain the
higher standard of living of the
American honey bee. and he declared
that the "utter indifference of the
democratic party to the American
honey bee is nathetic."
Senator Hitchcock, Nebraska, gave
it as his opinion that the duty was
designed to protect the American bee
from the German bee, which, he said,
necessarily enjoyed a much lower
living cost than the American bee.

of travel up and down the land and

place in his book of memories.
Mr. and Mrs. Cowell and their

everywhere and have see neverything
until you go through a monsoon in
the China sea, said Mr. Cowell.
"You never know just when a mon
soon will come along, but when it
does appear you know something is
happening. You think the ship is
going to pieces or will turn over. It
is what you would call quite a blow."

United States Trust Company, Omaha, Neb:, Trustee
The Central Mutual Telephone Company of Iowa, organized in 1903, has
operated continuously and successfully telephone toll lines and exchanges in
Calhoun County, Iowa, and vicinity. Calhoun County is in the heart of the
richest agricultural section of North Central Iowa, the county alone having an
assessed valuation of approximately $50,000,000. The population served by
the company is approximately 18,000. The company is at present operating
over 560 miles of telephone lines, serving 3,248 subscribers.
Since its inauguration the company has been in a 'strong financial posi
tion. During the past four, years net earnings have been over three times
the annual interest requirement of this issue.
According to the independent reports of Edward E. Burt & Company,
Appraisal Engineers, Chicago, for the company, and C. L. Swancutt, Appraisal
Engineer of the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company, for the United States
Trust Company, the actual valuation as of March 1, 1922, after giving effect
to the present financing, was more than two and one-half times the amount
of the first mortgage bonds. Upon completion of the present financing the
company will have no outstanding indebtedness other than this issue of bonds.
It will have a special reserve for additions and betterments of $25,000.
Under the terms of the Trust Agreement the company covenants to set
aside annually during the life of this issue $12,000 for depreciation account,
additions and betterments. Of this $12,000 there is to be deposited annually
$5,000, beginning June, 1923, with the United States Trust Company for the
purchase of bonds at not to exceed par and interest, thus insuring with the
assistance of the local market a good market for the bonds.
The Central Mutual Telephone Company maintains very satisfactory con
nections with the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company, and other inde
pendent companies, thus insuring their subscribers a nationwide telephone
service.
These bonds will be secured, in the opinion of Counsel Edgar M. Morsman,
jr., by a first and closed mortgage on all the operating property of the com
pany, including real estate, toll lines, exchanges and materials used and usable
in the business.
Price 98.90, to yield 6.60
We recommend these bonds as a safe high-yield investment.
