Your Wrrc's Picture.

A man ought to be ashamed to
live so that his wife is compelled to
look as she does at housecleaning
time. He'll allow her to buy cheap
old yellow soap right along and take
twice as long for her housework and
washing when Hewitt's Easy Task
soap will save time, health and
money for her. A man wouldn't toll
crate old-fashioned methods in his
place of business for minute. If
your wife would use Hewitt's Easy
Task soap all the time, there wouldn't
be n tenth of the dirt to get rid of at
housecleaning time,

BETTER SALARIES NEEDED.
The Iowa City Citizen offers I'll
following excellent sncrnctinn.

Inc Iowa City Citizen offers the
following excellent suggestion:
Some good friend of the smaller
cities in Iowa should introduce a bill
IN the legislature making il possible
Tor them to pay larger salaries to
commissioners under the commission
form of government, so that the time
OF the right kind of men may be se-
cured without too much sacrifice on
their part. The commission plan
has some decided advantages, but
the salaries allowed for small cities
are not large enough
The Gate City seconds the motion
that the salaries of mayors and COM
missioners in the smaller cities of the
state be increased. Under the law as
1t stands Keokuk is paying Mayor
Elder only $1,000 year and Com
missioners Gray and Schmidt only
$500 each These salaries are wholly
inadequate in view of the responsible
tiles devolving upon the officials
named and the value of the services
they are rendering. The mayors
salary in Keokuk should not be less
than S1,S00 and the commissioners
should be paid at least $1,000. The
increase in salary here proposed is
fairly and fully earned and it would
prove to be measure of real econ
omy in the long run.

A Condition NOT a Theory

Fort Dodge Chronicle: The Chron-
lcle takes exception to several things
stated in communication appearing
elsewhere on this page. To begin
with we are not willing to concode
that "all right minded people" ale
agreed that the closing of saloons in
Fort Dodge will capture the devil
in fact we feel that it will tend to
raise the devil as it did back in So
called prohibition days, and that it
will encourage violation rather thar
observance OF the law, make law
breakers, perjurers and snesks out oil
men and create condition far worse
than exists today We have law
now that was made after prohibition
had failed in Iowa and under that
law 1t is an easy matter to close the
saloon or saloons that fail To obey
it. That was demonstrated by the
writer when serving the people Of
this, city as mayor by the closing O.
two saloons for law violation. It has
also recently been demonstrated by
the closing of the Cochran saloon. IN

The Christmas Spirit.

Des Moines Capital: The Christmas
spirit is the GROWING glory Of dy-
ing year. The world is glad because
the season is associated with the
hottest and tenderest memories and
associations. The better angels OF
human nature assert themselves. Men
and women call to mind the birth of
the Worlds Redeemer-God's Best
Gift-and the Significance of the
Christmas-tide renews it's hold upon
the heart.
The true Christmas spirit is the
spirit which loves to give. It is the
very antithesis of self-centered con-
sideration. 1t is that soul radiation
which reaches out after others and
imparts to them an assurance and a
consciousness Of sympathetic cheer.
strengthens the ties Of brotherhood
and sisterhood and makes life the
better worth living.
There was time when the matter
OF Christmas giving was more exclus-
i've than 1t is now. 1t was more an
affair Of the family and OF ultimate
friends. Today there is larger and
q richer view. The horizon OF man.
kind is broadening. The spirit OF
generosity is getting beyond the old
ATTITUDES. Human kindness is finding
opportunities for tangible expression
in new fields.

THE 1HIckoRY sPRouT..

The Iowa City Press issued an
edition the other day in commemora-
ton Of it SEVENTEEN anniversary. In
reviewing its career it recalled that
one Of its first efforts was to stir
anew the Hickory Sprouts" the
Democratic boys, who carried cam
phene lamps for torches and opposed
the Wide Awakes "-Republ
marchers. The Sprouts" held an
old-time procession, and listened to
fiery speeches by a local orator. BY
way of retaliation the Reporter, edit.
ed by T. D. Ingersoll, "Linkensale")
lampooned the Press In song en-
titled the Song OF the Hickory
Sprout." The Press reproduced a
stanza of the poem which Is interest
ing as showing how the methods OF
editors and politicians have changed
in the intervening time. The stanza
in question was as follows:
II come, with many yell and shout
With dripping grease from my dirty
snout,
And yard Of shirt-tail sticking out
A roaring, rafting Hickory Sprout.

G. F. Apologize. superintendent OF
the hospital for the insane at Mt.
Pleasant, in an advertisement in the
Winfield Beacon, offers good perman-
ent positions to young women who de-
sire to enter his training school for

teamsters." The following reply is
made by the Columbus Safeguard:
We do not believe that Mr.. Apple
gate can get a great number OF young
ladies in this community to take a
training course in farming and team
ing, but If he will let us know when
he turns out class of graduates We
can place number Of his best look
ing damsels into good permanent

There are two bills before congress
affecting the postofice establishment.
One of them provides for the for
warding of mail ON which the post
age has not been prepaid. but requires
the payment of double postage by the
person receiving it. The other pro-
hibits the delivery of mail at houses
in cities which do not provide mail
boxes. 1t was stated by Senator Pen
rose that favorable action on the
former bill would save the govern
ment 100000 annually, while the
passage of the latter would save sew
eral millions. This computation on
the receptacle bill was based on the
estimate that letter carriers lose fif-
teen seconds at each house which
does not provide a mail receptacle.
There are 10000 carriers and they
each make $50 calls day.

Iowa City Republican: Iowa IS the

population. There must be reason
and the reason is not far to find. Too

Kansas and some other states will
suffer the same fate In the future,
and they would now, but for open
territory which has been settled. Mil
