The Outlook.

According to the review of the
Frances as made by Henry Clews.
the first week of 1911 has proven
better than its predecessors. in 1910
and 1909. each OF which signalized
,he new year with q slump in values.
There was a distinctly more cheer
full sentiment and prices displayed
an encouraging degree of strength.
The basis of improvement is the
comparatively easy condition of the
money market and prospects of its
continuance. The end-of-the-year
payments have safely passed and
funds will soon begin TO return
more freely from the interior. II is
possible that the eastward move

CHEERFULNESs
Copyright, 1910.

If you can't see through your clouds
set rid of them; when the black clouds
OF despair get between, your vision of
heaven won't be clear-dispel them
with good-cheer.
The cheerful thoughts of man per
meates society like the fragrance of
the rose; the smile and not the frown
brings sweetness to any town.
Cheer up. and by so doing mix your
own medicine for your ills-cheerful-
ness comprises health while blue
days" bode evil TO you.
Laughing away troubles in the face
of fate is mans greatest good fortune
man can never fail If he set his sue
cess sail with courage and good cheer.
Business is best done when industry
is ever wreathed in cheerfulness; the
sunny smile and kind face are the
factors that efface all the frets from
your face.

Hair must have nourishment or

weak and become an easy prey to
the ravages of the vicious germs OF
dandruff.
Partisan Sage is a hair nourisher (;

ment Of Gsrrency may not be quite
as early or large as at one time ex-
pected, because Of the extensive Dor
rowings OF western farmers either
to hold crops or to invest in cattle
for feeding purposes. Funds, how
ever, detained for these legitimate
purposes will find their way later
on to the financial centers. Perhaps
the strongest influences for cheap
money are the prevailing dizziness
of trade and the late decline in both
security and commodity values; fac
tors which have simultaneously re-
leased a large amount CT money and
increased its efficiency.

ment that is country wide. Comment
! ing on the fact that already 96 cities in
| % states have adopted the commission
form of government, the Dallas News
says this means that the voters OF
these cities have decided to claim divi-
dends upon their investment in MUM
cipaI stock. The Dallas paper asks,
why should not the people who pay
their money into the city treasury for
fire and police protection, schools,
streets and water works be entitled to
have money as judiciously expended
as if they invested in any other cor
poration"? This paper adds that it has
been truly said that IF the people e
the United States invested all of their
money with the same careless disre-
gard for results that characterized
their investments in municipal govern
ment, we would be a nation OF bank
rupts."

perance People VIII Enforce
the Moon Law.

Waterloo, Iowa, Jan. IA new
movement has been inaugurated In
Iowa to combat the liquor traffic. Bus
mess men, adopting business princi-
pies. are incorporating temperance as
/ sociations with ample capital in many
of the larger cities, and the work of
resisting the renewal OF the consent
petitions by the saloons is being Wig
orously carried forward.
The idea originated in Waterloo
| last autumn. when the Business Men S
| Temperance association was incorpor-
ated for so years, with capital stock OF
s25 600, divided into shares of So each,
shares TO be paid for only on assess
ment at a pro rata basis when money
| is needed TO carry forward the objects
of the association, which are set out
TO be the opposing of consent petitions
and Illegal sales of intoxicating Ii
quors. All consent petitions in Iowa
expire June so. 1911, unless renewed
before then.
SALOON MEN APPEAL.
In Waterloo the new petition was
pronounced insufficient by the board
of supervisors, but an appeal was TAX
en- by liquor men to the district court,
where the case is pending. Other cit
les in which the business men have or
ganized TO oppose the saloons are Dies
Moines, Cedar Rapids, Oskaloosa, Mar
shalltown, Mason City. Iowa City, Fort
Dodge, and independence.
The chief characteristics of these as
solutions are singleness of purpose,
continuity Of effort, and provision of
funds TO carry on their work.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Jan. 11.-More
than 400 business. professional and Ia
boring men. including most of the
citys preachers, have bought all the
100000 stock issued by the Cedar
Rapids Business Mems Temperance
association. Incorporated for so years.
The stock is issued in sares of SIS each
and is payable by assessments Of not
more than 2 per cent each year, the
assessments to be made when deemed
necessary by the board of directors.
The money thus raised is now being
used in an attempt to defeat the sa-
loon petition of consent which is being
circulated and which must be filed by
the liquor men. on or before next Sat
urday. The temperance association
has brought many noted temperance
speakers to Cedar Rapids during the
campaign and has maintained head
quarters for the men employed to cir
culate the petition of revocation.
MAY ENFORCE MOON LAW.
Both sides claim victory II the city
goes dry the temperance association
will appoint a vigilance committee to
ferret out and prosecute liquor drug
stores and holes in the WALL If the
liquor men win, the association will
begin at once a campaign to put the
Moon law into effect. This law pro-
vides that there shall be only one sa-
loon for every thousand population.
Cedar Rapids has $4,000 population and
60 saloons. The dividends on the stock
are paid in ''the consciousness of
