AUTOS IN IOWA
NUMBER 10000;
SOME MORTCAGED
Homes Are Hypothecated to
Secure Red Wagons
Polk an Example.

Des Moines. Ia, May 3l.-According
TO the records Of the secretary of state,
there are now 1851 automobiles in thu
state of Iowa. The rapid rate at which
these are being purchased in this state
is becoming astonishing. One day at
the office of the secretary OF state this
week, licenses were issued to 81 auto
mobile owners. That Is, however, the
largest number of licenses issued in any
one day.
BY a man familiar with the records
In the office OF Polk county recorder,
there are 81 men and women in Polk
county who have placed mort-
cages on their homes in order to buy
the "devil' cars. The ultimate result
thoughtful speculation. 1t is said that
outside OF those who have sold and
mortgaged their homes, hundreds have
raised money on personal notes and
mortgages on personal property.
1t Is an interesting fact to know that
the manufacturers Of automobiles in
other states shipped into Iowa demand
cash for their product on delivery. The
dealers pay good hard money for their
machines. In cases where paper is
taken in payment from the purchaser,
the Iowa dealer must take this. In or,
der to get money with which to con-
tinue paying cash to the outside fac
tories for automobiles. the local DEAL
ers, 1t is said, are selling these notes
and mortgaging to banks and others.
To just what extent banks are buying
unsecured personal notes by automo-
bile purchasers is unknown. 1t is esti-
mated that the automobiles now owned
in Iowa represent an expenditure of
money outside the state of over $9000,-
900, and the floating of nearly half that
amount of paper within the state.

CRESCEUS REMEMBERS
FORMER MASTER WHEN
HE CROSSES OCEAN

Springfield, Ohio, May s1.--Cresceus,
the champion trotting stallion, now in
Russia, is once more in good humor,
having consented to be led from his
stall, and George ketcham, of Toledo,
Ohio, former owner, will sail from
Liverpool for home June 8, according
to information received here by Harry
Ketcham.
Iletcham had no trouble in getting
the famous stallion to come out and
enjoy the fresh air The horse recog-
nized the voice of his former owner
instantly and began kicking on the
door a moment after Ketcham and tho
party arrived. When it was opened
and ketcham spoke to Cresceus, the
trotter began cantering about and
holding his head for Ketcham to pat.
1t Is said Cresceus became obstinate
because his present trainer struck him
with whip while exercising him. The
horse had never felt the touch Of a
whip before and resented it, Ketcham
explained the peculiarities of the stall
lion, and he does not expect that his
present owners will experience any
more trouble with him.

1t IL very likely that the question OF

In congress for an income tax. Ex-
Governor Garst in an address at Iowa
City before assuming the duties of gov

The convention will probably be in
session four or five days. The basis of
representation in the convention is:
From local trade and federal labor
unions. one delegate and one additional
