We want every reader of this
printed message to ask himself:
do | want to rise above the ordin-
airy, commonplace existence that
goes with a small, limited income?
Have | desire to BE SOMEBODY
in this world, to attain place
among the SUCCESSFUL men and
women who really accomplish some
thing?" Most of us have. The
world has no use for failures, but
it applauds SUCCESS.
YOU CAN SUCCEED-you can
make more money than you are now
earning.
You can increase your income in
the amounts we named above. oh,
yes you can. Don't say, Il simply
cannot see how / can 40 it," That
one remark is the earmark OF
failure. The Il can and i will
person is always welcomed by the
handmaiden of SUCCESS. What
are you today--a salary slave, a
wage Garner, or depending on the
meager profits from some small
business; do you run a boarding
house, or wait on table, or clerk in

printed message is the opportunity.

Why not be associated with
SUCCESSFUL men and women who
have adopted a profession that is
not alone lucrative, but is pleasant,
educational, performed at will, and
can be successfully accomplished by
any person who can read, write and
observe. No, dear reader, we are
not going to ask you to join cor

House Catches Afire.

The sounding of the fire alarm
shortly after eight o'clock yesterday
morning called the department to
the home of o. Miller near the Mil
waukee freight depot, where the
roof had caught afire from a defec-
tive chimney, but the fire was ex-
tinguished without the necessity of
turning on the water, and with but
little damage to the property.

Seventy Thousand Automobiles.

The licenses for automobiles is
sued to date from the office of the
secretary of state at Des Moines
number 69,049, which denotes that
at least that number of automo'
biles are doing service in the state
of Iowa. This means, in round
numbers, that there is one automo'
bile to every thirty persons in the
state of Iowa, and no doubt full
count would show even greater
average than this. How much mo-
ney does this represent, figuring the
initial cost and upkeep of all those
cars? Something to do with the
high cost of living, hasn't it?

Talks S Minutes

Announcement made recently by

phone and Telegraph company of a
change In its 1.-TWO. number" toll
service will affect many OF the cities
and towns In It's territory. This
change increases the time limit al
lowed on two number" calls from
three to five minutes, but does not In
crease the cost. 1t will affect only
calls between Ordway and Sugar City
In the local office.
"The change was made" said a
company official. "beeause OF the
great demand for the service. Over
forty per cent OF this 'two-number'
service is confined to social calls made
by the fair sex, and this perhaps has
been the underlying cause for our
change from three to five minutes.
Four minutes and nine seconds is the
average length Of these calls, while
the average business talk is some
thing under three minutes. No
change is to be made In the rate"
