MOMENTS REST ROOMS.

Some fifteen or eighteen years ago
Keokuk mad a woman's rest room on
Main street for the convenience of
women who came from the country
10 shop and of girls who had no other
place TO spend the noon hour. The
arrangement was instituted and con-
tinued for a time by the Womans
club, but was finally abandoned. More
recently such rooms have been estab-
lished in number OF smaller Iowa
towns and are very useful and popu-
lar. They are found to be a great
convenience, for in them the country
women may gather to wait for train
time or for the coming of their hus-
bands with team or automobile, while
the local woman meets her friends
there or spends a quiet half hour
when tired with shopping or her work.
The storekeepers approve of and sup
port these rest rooms because they
help to provide a place for the WON
en- who formerly stood about in the
stores while passing the time, crowd
ing the aisles and interfering with
business.
In a recent issue the Christian
K Science Monitor tells OF two rest
rooms in Iowa towns which are q
I sample of all of them. One is at Os
4 kaloosa where a woman's club has
provided comfortable quarters in the
center of the town Besides a pleas
ant room with tables and chairs
where numerous magazines are to b.
found there is a room fitted up witt
couches and cradles for women whC
have become tired out with thei,
shopping, or who have infants t,
care for, and third room equipped
with tables where the women ma.
spread their lunches. If a cup of te;
to be enjoyed with these lunches il
desired, II may be secured by payins
the matron small fee. This matroi
is always present while the place i
open, and it is her duty to welcom,
: visitors and to make them comfort
able, as we'll as to answer any ques
| tions which strangers may ask.
The other rest room specificall,
mentioned is in Charlton This room
has been in successful operation 70
: two or three years. The town has
: population of only $500, but its bus
: ness men are wide-awake and pre-
| gressiye and give the room their hear
| ty support The room is located Il

THE AUTO ON THE FARM.

No less than $4,000 motor cars are
owned by the farmers of this country,
according to an official of one of the
largest motor car companies in the
| United States. A majority of these
machines belong TO the grain-movine
! farmers of the great western agricul-
tural states, but We are told that the
| tillers of the soil in the east are also
purchasing more motors this year
than last.
i 1t is said by good authority that
motor vehicles of various types are
rapidly becoming almost necessity
in the transportation of farm prod
ucts. For instance, every canning
| factory has many patrons who deliver
their produce in automobiles. A man
largely interested in the business oil
preserving vegetables and fruits is
quoted as saying: "One of the chief
obstacles the Gamer has always
faced In maintaining sufficient out
put has been his inability to grow
enough raw materials near enough to
the factory to bring it from the field,
prepare it and get II into the cookers
while fresh and crisp"
With farmers dependent on horse
drawn wagons for hauling their pro-
duee to the canneries stuff would wilt
and be useless for canning purposes
if grown more than three OF four
miles from the plant 1t has meant re.
stricted acreage on the one side OF
supplementary plants in scattered
centers as the alternative.
This difficulty is being very effec
lively met by the advent OF the mo
tor vehicle of great capacity. Farm
produce can be quickly transported
] to the canneries in motor car and
now it is being received in perfect
condition from distances which were
undreamed OF few years ago. The
growing radius has been increased
many miles, which is not only an ad
vantage to the owners OF preserving
plant, but to the farmers of the dis
trict, as 1t greatly enhances the value
of farm lands. Perhaps this will have
the effect of reducing the cost o.
canned goods; certainly this shoule
be the case in the nature of things.

The Efficacy Of Prayer.

Springfield Register: Oliver Crom-
we'll and Stonewall Jackson used 10
marshal their troops for prayers be
fore going into battle.
The jury which tried Henry Clay
Beattie for murder knelt and asked
Almighty God for guidance before
they signed the verdict which con-
denned him 10 death.
This is something OF an unusual
gcene at this day and age but il shows
that there are still men who hold
themselves responsible to their con.
sciences and who have the good old
fashioned faith Of their fathers; the
faith that With the sword of the Lord
and OF Gideon" was able to conquer
the innumerable host OF the enemy in
TIE days Of old.

of fall crops in some parts of the
state.
Iowa farmers are more fortunate
than their brethren in other states.
While there has been a shortage In
the hay crop in Iowa, the Hawkeye
farmers will make up the shortage
cutting their corn stalks and feeding
the fodder to cattle. In Iowa county
the members of the Amana society
are cutting Hungarian grass. The
grass is an excellent substitute for
hay.
The second crop OF clover is being
cut over the state and the quality is
fine. The third cutting of alfalfa is
very promising. Wednesdays rain
has refreshed the dry pastures and
there will be plenty of fall pasturage
for stock. The rain filled wells and
the small streams and there is plenty
OF water for stock.
Late potatoes will make good
crop. A big crop of the "tubers" will
be harvested. Preparations for potato
harvesting is being made in the north
ern part of the state where the bulk
OF the potato crop is produced
Fruit is in fine shape and a big
crop of apples. grapes and plums is
being harvested.

by way of comment on the situation
as thus presented:
But Mr.. LaFollette is an astute pol

such showing in the campaign OF
1912, that he will be logical can
didate in 1916. That is the secret OF
his present activity. That is why he
started his weekly and that is partly
the reason why he has been so prom

Charlton find in it a hospitable well

used to large extent by the wives
OF farmers who visit the town to pur-
chase supplies, for they can leave
their bundles there. meet their
friends, eat their lunches. or quietly
wait the coming of their husbands to
carry them back to the farm.
Now that Keokuk is making every
effort to increase its local trade the
establishment of woman's rest room
is worthy OF thoughtful consideration.
If towns the size OF Charlton can
make a success of them there should
be no difficulty in maintaining one
in keokuk. The Commercial club or
the Retailers association would do
well to look into the matter.

it is wrong to blame the retailers for
