One thousand men have quit work in
Des Moines. That means 5000 people
on short commons. 1t means a loss
of close to $4,000 day And they

Make the total loss 5000 a day or

any fought in the stone ages.
The difference between brute force
and the present methods Of settling in

than distinction. 1t is the differ

destroying it's usefulness, between

that there is as much to be learned

THOSE PICTURES AND OTHERS.

The ban on the fight pictures is all
right. The pictures should not be
shown anywhere in the country If
they were shown with freedom they
would do more harm than the fgh.
itself, a thousand times over This is
true because, among other reasons,
they would be seen by children. There
were no children az the ringside at
Reno. Practically aveey moving pic
ture show in the country depends on
children for its support.
1t is very likely, however, that
many adults who have never been
to a moving picture theater would go
quicker than scat if the Jeffries-John-
son films We're announced. The great
popular desire to see the pictures jus
titles the outcry against them. If no.
body wanted to see them. the problem
would solve itself. disappear. But If
public interest in the fight, if the avid
:ty with which accounts of the en-
counter were read by young and old,
Is safe to say that 80 per cent of the
people want to see the pictures But
thy will make no noise about it, most
of them being rather secretive on the
point, not to say ashamed, and the ac-
tive minority in opposition will make
itself felt The territory open to the
pictures will be greatly restricted, for
a time at least. Maybe the keen edge
of interest will wear off after a while
and the exhibition be tolerated in
places not earlier open to it. In Iowa,
we have a state law amply covering
the subject and the pictures will not be
seen here.
1t is apparent from the press dis
patches that the entirely accidental
circumstance that it was a negro and
a white who fought is responsible for
most Of the opposition to the pictures
The outbreaks Of race feeling immedi-
ately following the fight constitute a
tempting fate to set before the public
day after day and in all sorts of COM
munities representations Of Johnson,
the negro, whaling the stuffing out of
Jeffries, the white man. It is this. it
Is proper to note, that affords a basis
for opposition to the pictures, this more
than hostility to the prize fight as an
institution.

a short period Of time. But those to
whom education is carried through
this channel have an opportunity to
learn a great deal more that win be a
benefit to them, because the corps OF

for a week at time and during this
course dairy animals Of proper form.
conformation and working ability are
brought before them and the essential
points to be Observed in selecting
dairy animals are pointed out and
practically demonstrated with the live
animal. Methods Of securing the very
best animals for the production OF
milk and butter fat are discussed, and
Of course this brings up the study
Of breeding, raising and developing
dairy cattle. Feeding the dairy COW
is an all-important point, and this
matter is discussed every day during
the week with the students. Caring
for milk and cream on the farm is a
real live question at the present time.
There is another possibility here in
that, by the proper care Of the milk
and cream from the time 1t is MIXED
until 1t reaches the creamery, 1t will
not be difficult to increase the price
per pound Of butter shipped out of
Iowa by one cent and this means an
income in itself of over $4,000 per

THAT LITTLE DOG.

One poor woman who claimed to
work over a wash tub every day in the
year and has half dozen children to
support wandered into the office this
morning to pay her dog tax. Several Of
the little children with her didn't have
enough clothes on to nag a hand car,"

THAT LIVELY CLIP"

Esprit Lake Beason].
A father and son were seriously.

cident near Des Moines this week. \
capital city paper says:
The machine was gliding along at a
lively clip, when the tire burst. 1t
swerved suddenly from the road and
went into the ditch, turning completely
oyer before the occupants could free
themselves.
There is nothing really peculiar about
this accident except in the fact that
all five occupants Of the car We're not
killed outright. 1t merely shows, what
has been shown over and over again,
that tires under the pressure OF
lively clip" will occasionally collapse,
and that when this happens the chan
ces of the occupants of a car are bet
ter to die than to live. In view of the
speed mania and conditions involved
the wonder is not that so many are
killed or MANNED, but that SO many es-

READY FOR WORK
Commercial Club Committees
Are Named.
Include Nearly Every Business
Man in City.
SEEK ACTIVE ONES.
They Will Be Expected to Make
Things Hum.
Annual Meeting of Club Is Held
Tonight.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Commercial club will be held at 8
o'clock this evening. There has not
been great deal of active committee
work going on at the club quarters
recently as the old committees did not
want to take up new work which they
would necessarily have to drop after
this week on account of the appoint
ment OF new committees for the en-
suing year.
The committee chairmen for the en-
suing year have been appointed by
President I. A. Borman, and the chair
men have chosen their co-workers with
one or two exceptions.
The committees comprise upwards of
300 members of the club, the object be-
ing to get as many of the live men of
the club as possible into active service.
They average from Is to 20 members
each and represent new blood almost
entirely.
A glance at the list of committees
which is published below will show
that three new committees are includ-
ed which were not in existence laSt
year. They are the committees on pub
tic health and safety, schools and edu-
cation, and street railway and tele-
phone.
The committee on schools and edu-
cation will undoubtedly investigate the
charges which have been made by wo-
men of the city to the effect that the
present system employed in the city
schools is not practical.
The committees which will be sub
mitted this evening for the approval of
the club are as follows:
