AX1JU JL" VOLJ TTldrgiridl Rotes 1 By BILL POSTVHJLE'S NIRA HOURS. Since Monday Postville stores are on a new schedule of hours and gradually customers are becoming accustomed to the new order of things that was primarily instigated as a part of the national program to produce shorter "working hours with the resultant re employment of the idle workers at fair living wages. Of course the question is immediately raised "Haw much unemployment is there in Postville?" It Is true the world wide depression has not been felt to a great extent in the smaller towns of the country and consequently employment is near'normal. This isn't due so much to the reason that volume of business has kept it hasn't and many a small town business man has felt the pinch inoreso than his big city contemporary. But the employer of the small town is a sympathetic individual who has kept his employees on the payroll because he knew to lay off these men meant hardships for the employee's families.

He has sacrificed much but he has kept his conscience clear. He has done more to preserve the small town from oblivion than any other one agency. Notwithstanding this fact, the President of the United States has proposed a program known as the National Industrial Recovery Act which will without the least doubt bring about a changed condition in the entire country because its provisions are such as will redvice the unemployment where- ever it has been. And to make it a fair proposition every town and hamlet must needs be included in the schedule of the President's Blanket Code to make it effective. Postville is included and our merchants are doing their small part in the recovery program by abiding by the rules as laid down by so rearranging their hours as to meet the plans deemed most fair by other towns in this corner of the state.

Being on a shorter work hour, some employers will find it necessary to put on more workers. How far this will go is hard to ascertain at this time as most business groups are awaiting the! final set-up of their respective trades associations which will be announced shortly. In the meantime customers and friends should realize the importance of the NIRA and what it will do to improve conditions, first by adding employment and then the consequent increase in prices to farmers and producers who are to benefit by the increased buying power of these potential workers. The governmental organization having charge of the NRA program is formulating a buying campaign that will urge every purchaser to steer shy REGRET, Earl Henry's little seven year old daughter, Harriett, didn't like the idea of her mother sending her to bed at the regular hour the other night In her new home here so the little miss packed her suit case before failing asleep and the next morning bright and early, knowing her mother was little hard of hearing, stole" out of the house and set out for her former home in Cresco, Harriett struck it out on paved high' way 55 but on getting to the Rudy Huebner home, about two miles west of town, she decided to stop for drink of water to quench her thirst and rest her aching feet. The Hueb- ners listening with a sympathetic ear to the little girl's story and her dec! sion to "leave home and never come back," telephoned Mr.

Henry at his store, who. along with the rest of the household thought the youngster was still In her bed, and Earl drove out and convinced his runaway daughter that "home" wasn't such a bad place after all and that "mother knows best- about when little girls should be in their beds. Mr. and Mrs. Emmet Schroeder re turned Saturday night from their honeymoon trip by auto and have since been right busy receiving "the congrat illations of their many friends.

Their trip took out to the Yellowstone Na tional Park and back, beside several side trips to points of Interest, and in all they have traveled a trifle over three thousand miles and the only car trouble they experienced was one flat tire, which is some record to shoot at. Tuesday of last week marked the eighty-fourth birthday anniversary of Mrs. John Thoma of this city, and the day was made a happy one for her by calls from her children, grandchildren and friends, all of which favors she appreciated very much. Mrs. Thoma is one of Postville's oldest and best known ladies, and with friends innumerable we join in the wish that she may in good health be spared to ob serve numerous other happy returns of the day.

Ed Green, one of Winneshiek county's progressive farmers, Jiving up in the neighborhood of Castalia, is furnishing evidence that some things beside corn grow tall in Iowa, as on Saturday last he brought a bunch of Sudan grass to the office of the Postville Lumber Co. in this city that measured a few inches over ten feet in just sixty days after he had sown the seed. This is evidence that something besides an airplane can get up in the air in a hurry. On Friday of this week Mr. and Mrs.

Wm. J. Klingibeil, Eulalia and Kathryn leave for Guttenberg to attend the Northeast Iowa Press Association outing and fish fry. Immediately after its close they will motor over to Monroe, where they will pick up "Bill's" sisters, the Misses Erma and Frieda Klingbeil, after which they will point of those not abiding by the new plan. ohicagoward to spend a week They are right now mailing out the Ce ry of Progress show.

Such a program augmented by public opinion is expected to make the country respond wholeheartedly to the urgent need of the hour as it did during the World War to the needs of that period. Postville will do its part when we get back of this program consumer and businessman alike. And to that end let us join in with the nation to N-ullify R-eactionary A-gencies. WHAT? NO BOYS? This office received an announcement Monday from Editor and Mrs.

John K. Griebel that by "the new deal' The painting habit is becoming quite popular along Main street and as a result a number of our business places look a heap better either inside or out. The P. J. Miller filling station has been painted a gorgeous bright red with a yellow background and looms up as loud as a streak greased lightning, and just across the street the Capper Hatchery building and the Gilbert Schroeder Produce building are being given an exterior painting that adds a lot to their good appearance.

Even the Herald office caught the disease and Harrington Chirstofferson have repainted the interior and caused it to look as resplendent as a circus street parade.
