MUSCATINE WOULD
SAVE OLD OAK TREE

Muscatine, July 15.-After vigorous
discussion at the city council the CUES.
ton whether an aged oak tree situated
on Park Drive near Weed park should
be cut down or not, was decided unfav-
orably for those who wish the tree ia
stand
favor Of cutting the tree down, one OF
the aldermen not being present at the
meeting. The residents IN that vicinity
will make a fight for the life OF the
tree, 1t is believed, and it was pointed
out that In reality the matter could be
arranged at smaller expense to the
contractor than would be required to
cut 1t down.
The fight for the life of the tree was
not concluded at the meeting, 1t is I'M
derstood, and several influential people
will put forth all effort possible in an
endeavor to save the landmark.

|BR|NG BEER into
IOWA WITH AUTOS
METHOD TO EvADE EFFECTS OF
NEW WE6e-KENYoN BILL HAS
BEEN FOUND.

Des Moines, July 15.--The agitation
for good roads in certain dry" sec
tons Of the state should receive q
consid erable impetus as the result of
the workings Of the Webb-Kenyon
liquor law. The dirt roads and the
auto now form the opening wedge for
the breweries, which have customers
In dry territory.
The new federal law prohibits tho
shipping Of liquor into dry territory.
but the st. Louis and Kansas City
breweries, especially the former, have
found way to evade the law, pro-
viding the consignee is willing to do q
little driving.
Wet towns along the Iowa and Mis-
souri, lines have been established as
distributing centers for booze ship
ments intended for dry towns in Iowa.
Express companies carry the ship
ments to the wet towns across the Dor
der tn Missouri, and then the Iowa
consignee drives across the line in an
automobile and carries the shipment
back into Iowa for the relief Of the
suffering one back home.
Missouri Helps Some.
Bedford, being dry town. Is cut off
from the breweries under the new law
THAT is, apparently. Across the line
in Missouri and some thirty miles
south, Is Maryville, wet town: Last
week the st. Louis brewers made the
Missouri town distributing center for
number Of Iowa towns within easy
driving distance, and now the main
travelled highways are buster than ever.
Scores Of autos are making the trip
into Missouri and many are coming
back ladened with the precious goods.
The Iowa men, Of course, take their
own chance in getting the liquor across
the line, but from the amount Of use
the highways are receiving 1t seems
that enough Of them are willing to take
the risk to make the roads seem like
main arteries for travel.
The initial shipment Of whisky was
directed to Maryville, but marked in
letters that could be read quite easily
by the Missouri agent was the nota-
ton that the package was intended
for parties in Bedford, L." The
package was called for shortly after,
and the success Of the scheme has en-
couraged others to try the same plan.
Visiting Becomes Popular.
Other wet towns in Missouri are be-
ing visited more frequently by Iowa
autoists, 1t Is said, and brewery agents
state that the establishment Of more
friendly relations between the two
commonwealth Is certain.
Autoiets who heretofore have gone
into Missouri but few times are
Joining in the cry for better roads
roads that will be passable in all sorts
Of weather.

200 BABIES BORN IN
UNION co. IN 1912

Creston, July 1.-two hundred
babies were born in Union county dur

port made to the state by County Clerk
Thos. Beaumont, and compiled from
the figures Of the assessors Of the cities
and townships Of the county. The
county clerk also reported 1874 mar
r1agea. and 80 divorces during 1912
While the county clerk was able to
report but 200 births for Union county
during the year, 1t is evident that the
number should be considerably larger,
and that the assessors have failed to
