When the state of Iowa goes to mar

pared to get few prunes, dried apples,
dried peaches and dried raisins. For
instance when the state wants dried
prunes for the fifteen state institutions
Miss Iowa goes into the markets of the
county and asks for bids. This year
she purchased nearly twenty-four tons
OF prunes. Then there were dried
peaches SO she bought nearly eleven
tons of those, over eight tons of raisins
and nearly as many dried apples. Along
with these are some dried curran ts

THE "CUT-OUT."

One of the greatest nuisances of au-
tomobile traffic is the 'cut-out', de-
signed to be opened to see that the en-
CINE is working properly or in low
powered cars to increase the power in
a hard pull. Some owners seem to
think 1t is for use on all occasions and
take delight in opening it at all times
day or night on the public streets and
startling all with their gatling gun dis
charge. They have no regard for the
ears or nerves of others and even seem
to take especial pleasure in making the
most noise in the neighborhood OF the
hospitals Many a sick person has
been caused hours OF suffering by this
worse than careless practice. To the
credit Of the autoists 1t must be said
1t Is not the older drivers who do this
but as rule the green" ones who
are anxious to show off, when to any
one who Is really posted they are only
