Brown Wins tho Race.

Savannah, Nov. 12.-The New
York boy, who four years ago ran
away from home to become a driver
of racing automobiles, to-day saved
the reputation Of American drivers
from obliteratiOn at the hands Of for
eigners in the grand prize race, the
blue ribbon event Of automobile con-
tests. Speeding faster and farther
than man ever went before in an au-
tomobile road race, this young man.
David Bruce-Brown, won the grand
prize by barely more than second
at the end Of 1852 miles--heart-
breaking miles. He flashed across
the electric timing wire LAP seconds
ahead of Victor Hemery, the French
man. His time was five hours, 53
minutes 5.35 seconds, setting new
American road record Of 70.55 miles
an hour.
Both he and Hcmery drove Benz
cars, so that the foreign machines
triumphed over the American-made
racers. The consolation in hav-
ing an American at the wheel Of the
winner was increased by the fact Of

Boys Corn Exhibit and Trustees
Meeting, Saturday, November 20.

The ten-ear exhibits from the boys
in the Boys Corn Club contest Will
be shown in the Court House on Sat
urday, November 26. At the same
time all farmers In the county who
are interested are invited to come
and bring ten-ear exhibits to be in
spected by those present. We have
been promised some valuable assist
ance from the Department Of Agri-
culture In making seed selection here
that day, and any one wishing to
take advantage Of the opportunity Is
not only at liberty, but Is earnestly
requested to come and bring his corn
and get instruction in regard to it,
as well as place 1t on exhibition. So
far we have very few Of the ten
ear exhibits from the boys, and we
would like to have the Court House
filled with exhibits, SO let them come.
Or, what is better, come and bring
them.
On the same day, Saturday, No
vember 2Gth, the annual meeting Of
the school trustees Of Oconee county
will be held (this being the second
meeting) in the Court House, be-
ginning at Il o'clock a. m. The

and much lasting good seems to have
been done; but let's make this
meeting larger and better. Let
every district in the county send at
least one member Of the local board
Of trustees, SO that we may have a
full representation. Come prepared
to discuss some Of the urgent needs
Of the rural schools and how we may
meet them. Have questions ready to
submit to the meeting for considera-
ton without wasting time hunting
for something to do.

maddest race OF his career in an
American car, the MarQuette-Buick
which finished third, getting not only
third money, bnt anvadditional thou
sand dollars for the first American
driver to finish in an American car.
Americans Set Pace.
Before the race it was said that
the American teams planned to set a
pace in the early stages which would
burn the tires off the big foreign
machines, thereby securing an ad-
vantage over them. Apparently the
Americans tried this trick, and it
nearly succeeded, for most Of the for
eigners were either stalled or wreck
ed on the track before the finish, but
the foreigners were too numerous.
Two of their cars, the winning Benz
machines, still remained on the track
Mt the end Of the race. All the other
inlshers were American cars.

In publishing the honor roll Of the

The crowded condition of the
school makes it necessary to have
the fourth and fifth grades come in
sections. The fourth grade will
come at o'clock and remain until
2 O'Clock. The 9TH grade comes at
II o'clock and will remain until
$50 p. NJ. In this way it is hoped
more individual work can be done,
and more time may be given each

Still more gravely it bears upon the en-
forcement OF the laws made to protect
property. Immediate explanation is in
order.
Judge Hubbard's notorious letter to
Shaw demanding the parole Of bloody
and unrepentant highwayman as a
political. favor to be used as a quid
pro quo for the vote of Dave Mercer in
congress is still among the papers in
the capitol building. The scandal and
shame of that parole Of Frank Sher-
cliffe to Tom Dennison, gambler, policy
shark and chief of Omaha's under
world, whom Shercliffe afterward ac-
cused of planning the robbery and re-
eeiving its proceeds is still unrorgotten.
Step by step the trail led thru winding
and devious ways to the state house of
Iowa. 1t must never again be beaten
smooth by the feet Of convicted GRIM
inals bringing political support in ex-
change for the honor of the state and
the notification OF its laws
Governor Carroll should explain the
case of Finsberf. His bitterest political
enemies would rejoice in the certainty
that the executive power is not being
prostituted to to the baseness suggested
by the Hebrews who have protested:
for citizenship is higher than parties
and factions and the good name Of
Iowa 10 be considered before success.

HATS IMPROVE WITH AGE.
Economy in the Purchase Of First
Class Silk Headgear.

"A silk hat, like wine. improves
with age" said clubman. 1.-The Oft
ener you have it ironed the sleeker
and more brilliant 1t becomes. It
costs good deal at the outset, but in
the end 1t is the cheapest hat to wear.
1t lasts, you see, so long, and to iron
il costs SO little-a dime or so. Some
folks think the topper very perish
oblc. If it gets soaked with rain. If
Zone one sits on it and crushes 1t in
to an accordion, they think it must be
thrown away, the same as II it were a
Derby. But not at all. 4 silk hat can
be taken apart and put together again
like watch. and if it gets crushed.
nothing is easier than to melt OF the
silk, straighten out the frame and then
put on the silk again. In England, the
home of this hat, have known msn
to wear the same topper for 10 OF. II
years. And the oftener the old hat is
ironed the brighter and finer 1t shines.
Its luster increases with time and fric-
ton like the luster Of good, antique
furniture"

PROTECT THE CHILDREN.
1Tama. Northernl

A small boy was accidentally killed
in Marshaltown last week by being
run, over by an automobile and another
lad was killed in Cedar Rapids in eX-
actly the same manner. Nothing can
be done now which will return those two
bright little fellows TO their grief stric-
ken parents. but too much cannot be
said as a warning TO parents who all
low children to play in the streets and
to the auto driver who does not have
any regard for the safety of pedes-
TRANS. Fast auto driving will have to
be prohibited on the streets of Glad
brook. Not only autos endanger the
lives of pedestrians but the motorcycle
driven at a thirty mile clip comes in
for its share of condemnation. Who
wants to be the murder of one of Glad
brooks bright little tots? And yet if
one is killed by accident that is due to
carelesSneSS. the auto or motorcycle
driver comes very near to murder just
as does the fool who points gun at
child and claims he didn't know it was
loaded. The Northern calls upon the
city council TO pass and enforce an or
dinance that will compel autos to travel
at safe speed within the city limits.

TO VOTE AS THEY PRAY.

The Congregational Church Society of
northeastern Iowa may plead not guilty
OF the charge that the church welded
70 doctrine forgets present and pressing
problems in the fog OF polemical dis
putation. This church society at its
recent meeting al Cresco slipped OUT
IN front. Endorsed the Cosson laws and
urged the nomination and election of
their author 10 the office of attorney
general of Iowa.
Now this is the true church militant.
1t is real business, twentieth century
church business. 1t puts the church
where 1t belongs. The Cosson laws put
into government the active principle of
decency, and decency civic and indi-
Vldual is 10 be approved. commend ed
and supported by the church. The
decalogue is not written on stone but in
action. If the church is to be consistent
It must write its belief on ballots as
in sermons. condemn aloud in the face
Of indecency the things it prays God 10
abolish. So shall it gain respect ond
influence and power.
But resolutions in church societies
must be but the outward expression of
individual conviction and the prelude to
individual action. The churchman. in
dividually must vote as he resolves coll
ieetively. When he does the church
need not fear the forces of evil in city
or state or national politics.
