GLE TODAY
Big Fireworks Display to be Given
TONIGHT.

Tonight.
The mass Of inquiry concerning the
rendition Of the great Pain spectacle last
night indicated very eloQuently the pub
lie interest in this great production which
Mr.. Frank Payne has brought to the
city during this great carnival week. It
was raining in the afternoon, and the
query. all over the city, was: How
about the f1rewOrks?" In the evening the
rain was still falling in a drizzle but the
calls poured into the central telephone
office asking If the great spectacle would
show or not.
The rain which came up suddenly in
the afternoon. ruined about $500 worth of
fireworks which had been laid out in
front Of the big scenic city ready for the
evenings performance. But the chief
pyrotechnist, MIR. Cunliffe, has two car
loads of extra supplies on the Rock Isl
and tracks. and even this heavy loss IS
deemed insignificant by the men as well
q the management OF the spectacle.
The pyrotechnists an mechanics who
run the great spectacle are very proud Of
their big fiery institution, and are ex-
ceedingly anxious 10 give the first OF
the nightly spectacles. II is possible
work in any other show on earth who
have this feeling concerning their own
show.
The men all are a fine set of fellows,
and though clad in overalls and working
clothes, most all Of the time, are young
men OF education and refinement, which

Apple Outlook Is Good.

AS to the condition of the apple
crop in Mills county horticulture
lists in the vicinity of Glenwood
one and all say they never saw a
moro favorable outlook and the
general prediction is that there
will be a bumper crop this year.
Last year Mills county was one
of the few favored spots in the
United States in which there was
a good crop of apples. This local
ity has the reputation of growing
the best winter apples in the
world. The quality of the apples
last season was unusually good.
Added to this the general scarcity
sent the apple men from all quar-
ters into the orchards here bid
ding high figures for everything
they could get in apples. The
condition of affairs made the apple
growers rub their eyes in aston
ishment. The consequence is
that new impetus has been given
orcharding in the Glenwood dis
trict. However, 30 many men
have had their eye teeth cut in
the apple business in times past
that they will go at apple growing
in sensible way and avoid the
precipitate and headlong methods
of former times. There is good
money in apples in Mills county
and our apple men should get to-
gether and learn the New York
methods of fighting the insect
pests that follow in the train of
modern improvements. With ev-
cry advance in horticulture as in
every other business there are
new conditions and problems to
overcome and in the multitude of
council there is wisdom.-Glen-
wood Opinion.

Federal Expenditures.

How many people are aware how
much it costs to run the federal gov
eminent a year, exclusive of state ex-
penses? The total disbursements last
year was 1921 600, 600, almost 80, 100000

Try Shaw's dep'ment spent $500 100000
of this sum; $ll7,O00,OOO went to the
war department, only $4,000, 600 to the
navy department; $l6S, 100000 to the
interior department., of which $l39, :
100000 were for pensions, 1t being thus
noted that the civil war still costs al
most AS much as it does to maintain the

the department of justice but S435, COO:

Government expenses have grown
expenses have grown enormously in
the last ten vear,-the total increase
being over 5000, 600 annually. How
ever, the standard of increase and ex-
penditures has everywhere risen and
the per capita expenditure of So 10 is
not as large as II has been in many pre-
vions Years AS far back as 1870 it was
$40 81 per capita, due, of course, to the
civil war; and likewise the Spanish

increased expenditures, the per capita
