say that such an organization would
violate the law in any particular, but
there is ample law to prevent such an

THE Sherman antitrust law would

IOWA.

Des Moines, Nov. THE guberna-
torial result of Iowa is in doubt.
Although both Republicans and
Democratic state managers claim the
election all the returns up to 1 o'clock
this morning, numbering about $50, ir-
Gcate that only complete count will
determine the result.
The $50 precincts already received
show loss for Cummins of nearly 40
per cent, which, If maintained, would
mean the election of Porter, Democrat
BY small plurality.
Iowa will have ten Republicans in its
next congressional delegation.
II is believed that Maj. ]. F. Lacey

Sixth district. has been defeated.
In the First district both Repub-
licans and Democrats claim victory.
The next state legislature will be
safely Republican and will probably re.
elect ]. p. Dolliver u. s. Senator.

The RAINY DAY"

In every bod US life the pro-
We bal rainy day is pretty
sure to come, sooner or later,
Fortunate indeed is the
person who, " hen it arrives,
is prepared for it.
The way for persons of
moderate means to guard
against the needs of the
rainy day, is to inaugrrate
now a systematic plan of
saving. Most persons who
are improvident do not mean
to be 50. They either do not
understand the Importance
of small economies or they
have neglected to save.
because they have never tried
a practical system.
Building up a Savings
Account in a bank is the
greatest incentive to system
latic saving
And when you save a little
as you go, you are ever pre-
pairing for the demands of
that future rainy day.
