Des Moines, May 2S.-According to
the records of the secretary of state
there are now 1881 automobiles in the
state of Iowa The rapid rate at which
these are being purchased in this state
is becoming astounding. One day at
the office of the secretary of state this
week licenses were issued to sixty-one
automobile owners. That is however,
the largest number of licenses issued
in any one day.
BY man familiar with the records
in the office of Polk county recorder
there are siXty-four men and women
in Polk county who have placed mort
cages on their homes in order to buy
the devil cars. The ultimate result
of the mad auto trade is matter for
thoughtful speculation. Il is said that
outside of those Who have sold and
u.crtgased tn If homes hundreds have
raised money On personal notes and
mortgages on personal property.
II is an interesting fact TO know that
the manufacturers of automobiles in
other states sAipped into Iowa demand
cash eer ,liei- p~r lag. or 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
order TO get money with which to con-
.inue paving cash 10 the outside fac
tories for automobiles the local dealers,
il is said. are selling these notes and
mortgages TO banks and others. To
ius, what extent banks are buying un-
secured personal notes by automobile
purchasers is unknown. Ii is estimated
that the automobiles now owned in
Iowa represent an expenditure of mon
ey outside the state of over $4,000
600, and the floating of nearly half that
amount of paper within the state.
Many wealthy men are buying au-
tomobiles for amusement and physi-
clans and professional men as necessi-
ties. But outside of this justifiable
class Of purchasers are many men who
are jeopardizing the protection of their
families by mortgaging the roofs over
their children's heads in order to sat-
isfy their own inclinations for pleas

There seems TO be no reason to doubt
this good old state of Maine still hold
ing the record for extremes of tempera-
ture. For instance, Wednesday morning

just down to the cypher, and Friday

full bloom when picked, but withered
and lost their beauty when taken from
the letter. How is that for contrast in
the climates? And yet that place is less
