MISS VELDA THOMPSON WEDS MARSHALLTOWN MAN. The Ten Years Ago. Recorder is called upon to chronicle'the death of James Linebeck, who moved to Butler county in IStio. He was born in Indiana in 1S3S. Wilbird and Wayne Langenhagen entertained at a combination birthday party on Friday evening, covers having been laid for sixteen.

Early in the evening the young folks were kept in an uproar of laughter when Dale Van Eman gave an exceedingly interesting talk on the "Life, habits, characteristics and modes of warfare of a horned toad." The fun and frolic lasted until a late hour. W. C. Knight, another old veteran of the Civil war, has answered the call to the great beyond. He was in his field shocking corn in the afternoon and died suddenly.

He did not return to the house and Mrs. Knight went out and found him dead. The next call to Camp Dodge is October 27. There are 18 listed from Butler county. We are oiled, that is the city authorities have received a carload of oil and the streets and everything i oiled.

We'll say it is. Walter Thorp went to Waterloo, for examination and enlistment in the army. Gertie Spillman, the Recorder's linotype operator, spent the weekend with her people in Ossian, Iowa. Twenty Years Ago. There is "oil excitement" over on the West Fork near Dumont.

A Mr James Harvey, an expert in locating "oil, is on the ground and a tract ot acres for prospecting is being secured. Henry Stolte was a lucky fisher Miss Velda Thompson and Mr. Ken- McKittrick, both of Marshalltown, were quietly married in Des Moines, Saturday, October 1. Returu- ng in the late afternoon they were the honored guests at a dinner party, given by one of their friends. The bride is the daughter of Mr.

Ole Thompson, formerly of this place, where she graduated from Greene High with the class of 1925. Since that time she has lived in Marshalltown and been employed in the telephone office. Velda is a very capable young lady and held in liighest esteem by all who know her. The groom, although a stranger to Greene people, is regarded as a model young man in his home town. He is an employee of the Northwestern Railroad company at Marshalltown.

Mr. and Mrs. McKittrick are at home to their friends at 612 West Main, Marshalltown. The Recorder joins the host of Greene friends in extending congratulations and best wishes for a very happy wedded life. INTERESTING DEMONSTRATION TO BE HELD IN GREENE.

He displaced a string of a dozen or more large bass and pickerel. The Kelly orchestra failed to ge liere for the dance for the fire com pany, and the local boys got togethei and furnished the music. Greene is visited by big fire. The livery barn owned by O. M.

Kuhn and livery stock there, owned and operated by McCracken Bros. Clarence discovered the fire about 9:30. The barn and four horses were burned. Hubeler's blacksmith sTiop damaged, also warehouses of the Clark Grocery, and Prichard Son near rear of barn were scorched and flour and feed soaked with water. McCrackens and Hubeler were the only ones to carry insurance.

Auburn, a distance of 75 miles, was made in five hours, regardless of a heavy wind. How many people in Greene have feet? How many people within a radius of fifty miles have good feet? These question may seem odd, but according to authorities on the foot only three out of ten persons have really normal feet. All the rest are either pestered with corns, annoyed by callouses, suffer with tired, aching feet, weak ankles, sharp shooting pains in the legs, or they endure often for hours agony with bunions. Yet all of this suffering is unnecessary, declares Mr. W.

S. King, a foot specialist of Chicago, who is coming to Greene on October While here, Mr. King, who is a representative of Dr. Wm. M.

Scholl, the famous foot authority, will give a free demonstration of Dr. Scholl's Method of Foot Correction at Evens, Blumer Ce. Store. This store has issued an invitation to all foot sufferers to come and let Mr. King look at their feet." He will, they declare, be pleased to show them how easily they can be rid, forever, of their aches and pains by simply being correctly fitted with shoes or perhaps with light appliances which are worn in the shoes.

The Sheriff's jury, whose duty it was to appraise the damage to property along the Shell Rock river caused by the raising of the dam by the Northeastern Iowa Power finished its work here last week and filed its report with the Clerk of Courts, Thursday. The total amount of the damages awarded is over $23,000.00. In addition to this the company had made prior settlements which will bring the total to about $29,000.00. The largest award was that of $13,500.00 to the Town of Greene for damages to the storm sewer, Perrin park, gravel pit and several streets. The greater portion of this amount is for a new sewer outlet.

The other awards range from to $800.00. The power company has taken appeal from the award of $13,500.00 the Town of Greene to the District Court of Butler County, and this no doubt will be tried some time during lie winter. We have heard of no Jther appeals by the company, but it rumored that several property owners along the river 'will make appeal the award of damages allowed by the jury. Damages awarded by the sheriff's jury are as follows: W. R.

Elbert Hildebrand died in the Cedar Valley hospital, Charles City, Wednesday night, September 28, 1927, at 10 o'clock, at the age of 26 years, 7 months and 19 days. Death was caused by an intection in the hand. While doing the family washing she broke the skin on her hand and later was dressing a carbunckle on one of the children, and it is thought the infection resulted from that. Mary Bielefelt was born February 9, 1901, on a farm northeast of town. After her father's death in 1914 the family moved to Greene.

Eight years ago she was married to Elbert Hildebraud and they moved onto the farm. Four sons were born to this union: Dean, 7 years; Clifford, Merlyn 3, and Robert, about 3 months, who with the husband and father are left to mourn her passing. They quit farming this last spring and moved to Charles City, where Elbert secured work in the Hart-Parr factory. Besides her immediate family she leaves her mother, Mrs. Minnie Bohlman, four sisters, Dora, who is in nurses training at Mason City, Sophia, now Mrs.

Lursen of Kesley, Elizabeth and Hattie at home, one brother, Friedle of Minnesota, and a half sister, Leola Bohlman, at home. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. C. G. Prottengier, at the Lutheran church, Charles City, Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock and interment was in Riverside cemetery.

The sorrowing family has the sympathy of all in their bereavement. IOWA COAL MINER'S STRIKE IS SETTLED 9,000 Men Will Go Back To Work Immediately. IN MEMORY OF MARY BRAND. HILDE- 100.00 There is no mystery about it; no difficult rules or restrictions. If there are no fires, there are no fires--that is all there is to it.

Fires are gluttons and need food. If the food is taken away the fires starve. Dirt, debris, junk, cobwebs, dust, old papers, rags, oily waste, are all in the bill of fare for the Red Demon. If these are taken from the menu there is but a blank page left. Eighty-five per cent of all fires (and this is a very conservative estimate) can be prevented by eliminating the unnecessary fire causes.

Then why not remove them? No one, unless he be an arsonist, wants a fire; and material burned is gone forever. If 85 per cent or more of all fires can be prevented, why not prevent them and save over $500,000,000 per annum? Slovenliness breeds carelessness, and carelessness breeds fire. Why then be slovenly? Carelessness is the most costly ha bit we have, and there is no sense or reason for it. As a result, hundreds of precious Jives and millions in property are lost, and the cure for these awful ills lies in preventing fires. Think it over!

She was like a guarding Angel, And the touch of her gentle hand, Soothed away our sorrows, Nxiw she's gone to that Silent Land. But God in His infinite mercy, Will help to guide the hand, Who watches over these little ones And feeds His little Now husband dear, you'll miss me, And your heart is sad I know, But when the Angel called me, Then I had to go. To the Land where there is no sor row, Where all is bright and fair, Where the Tree of Life is blooming And I hope to meet you there. So goodbye to all that I hold dear, And always faithful be, 'Till the Angel Boat comes, 25.00 To carry you over the Sea. In loving sympathy, Aunt Jane.

ROCKFORD BUTTERMAKERS ARE DROPPED FROM ASSOCIATION. Jperators and Miners Settle On Same Basis As the Settlement Effected In Illinois. Des Moines, October Iowa oal strike was ended last night when he Iowa Coal Operators association nd district 13 of the United Mine Vorkers of America ratified a settle- nent on the same basis as the settlement effected in Illinois Saturday. Vheels in a number of the Iowa mines, which have not turned since larch 21, will begin revolving today and all of the closed mines will be in operation as soon as possible. Settlement of the strike followed apidly after the operators, at the nd of a two-day meeting, voted to ffer separate peace to the Iowa min srs in the Illinois terms.

When the perators took' this action, George leaps, president of the operators, ummoned J. H. Morris of Albia, president of the miners, and his exe- committee to Des Moines. The executive committee promptly accepted the offer and the pact was sealed. The Iowa miners will start to work at once on the Jacksonville agreement basis wage scale of $7.50 per lay, this basis to continue in effect until April 1, 1928.

In the meantime joint commission composed of two of the operators anc two representatives of the miners will be named. To this commission is to be sub mitted all questions in the dispute over wages and working conditions This commission will report to the lull joint scale committee Feb. 1 and it is agreed that its report wil form a basis for adjustment of the entire controversy. The union scale committee will be called to meet in the near future Mr. Morris said last night, and to i will be left the selection of the two representatives of the miners on the commission.

The operators' association will choose its representatives. The makeup of this commission will not necessarily be the same as the Illinois one, both Mr. Heaps and Mr. Morris stated. About 9,000 Iowa miners have been thrown out of their regular occupations for a little more than six months, due to the failure of both sides to frame a new wage scale to succeed the Jacksonville agreement scale which went into effect April 1, 1922.

The miners have been working at anything they could get or do or have left the state for other coal fields. Settlement of NEW YORK WINS FIRST GAME OF SERIES. won the first World's series New York game of the afternoon from Pitts- Durgh, playing at Pittsburgh, a score of 5 to 4. The score innings is as follows: New 0 3 0 1 0 0 0 0--5 Pittsburgh 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0--4 A DAY AT EQUITY STORE A GREAT SUCCESS. The Annual Sample Days at the Equity store, Friday and Saturday, were a great success.

The rainy weather helped bring the people to town and this insured the success of the venture. The Lee overalls were awarded John Marzen. He guessed that it required 180 yards of thread to sew and it took 182. Irvin Kendall drew the Rumford cooking set. There were four who tied on the guess on the number of Richelieu coffee beans in the 'quart jar.

They guessed 2,500 and there were 2,498 beans. Mrs. Retta McGee, Mrs. Leo Brown and Mrs. Otto Paplow and Guy Gates each received two pounds of coffee.

Seven demonstrators had charge of the booths and interested the people in their various lines of products. Already plans are under way to hold the demonstration another year. NASHUA 7--GREENE 6. the Iowa strike on D. W.

Goetziuger, Rockford, ha been dropped from the membershi in the Iowa Buttermakers' associa tion, according to word received J. F.

VanderMeer from J. F. Brui ner, secretary of the organization. The letter received by Mr. Vande Meer follows: "You are hereby notified that P.

J. Goetzinger, Rockford, has been officially dropped from membership in the Iowa Buttermakers' association. This is- on account of his recent prosecution by the department of agriculture and also for soliciting cream in territories of neighboring creameries and stating that itw as not necessary for farmers to take good care of the cream sent to the Rockford creamery. Officials of the association feel that anyone taking such action as Mr. Goetzinger is not only detrimental to the creamery in which he is working, but to the whole dairy industry at large.

Kindly notify all of the members in your section so that it will be generally known that our association the part of the miners was authorized Sunday by John L. Lewis, national president the United Mine Workers, who sanctioned separate agreements in all districts of the union on the basis of the Illinois settlement. During the strike, Iowa has not suffered from a shortage of coal; but the bulk of the coal on sale has been shipped in from foreign non-union fields. The increasing establishment of a market for this coal and the imminence of its absorption of the domestic market has caused operators to fear for their investment while the strike continued. The approach of winter and decreasing opportunity for other work has made the miners anxious for a settlement of the strike Iowa produces about 5,000,000 tons of soft coal annually from the opera tion of between 300 and 350 mines The state uses approximately 15.000, 000 tons of coal in transportation manufacturing and domestic use.

The Greene High School football team lost their first game here last Friday when they took Nashua into camp. The teams, both of about the same strength, battled for three quarters before either scored. The home squad showed up exceptionally well, considering they have only had three nights of signal practice. A few weaknesses were noted in the team and the chances are there will be a shift or two in the line-up. Nashua's touchdown was the result of a series of line bucks and end runs.

One end run took our line by surprise and for once also, their in- worked without a flaw. The result was there was not a single reene man to tackle their speedy half-back. He ran for about fifteen yards for the score. They succeeded in kicking goal and so the score stood 7 to 0 for Nashua. After the kick-off the Greene lads advanced steadily down the field by punts and line drives and with only a few minutes to play Turner caught a beautiful pass and was over the line for six points.

Kingery failed in the try for point and the score stood 6 ta 7't'for Nashua. Several of the Greene boys had to have time out for minor injuries, but taking it all in all it was a very clean game with only a few penalties inflicted on either side. The line-up for Greene was: Turner--left-end. Meyers--left-tackle. Hanson--left-guard.

Swab--center. D. Wilson--right-guard. Earth--right-tackle. V.

Drew--right-end. Chukker--quarter-back. Captain Thomas--half-back, Kingery--half-back. Maxwell--full-back. does not approve of work Mr.
