The young prina donna made her
first professional appearances at sec

of Italy with scant success. An en-
gagenlent at Paris seemed TO produce
no particular impression on her au-

cluslon that could be gathered after

able fact that she was a failure. But
not hopeless failure, because, while

Auto Tax Over So 10000.

Iowa's automobile tax now
amounts to nearly three-quarters OF
a million dollars year. The Office
of the treasurer of state reports that
the total of the tax for the year end
ing June Goth was s711,229.O7, OF
which $520,464.74 was collected
during the first six months OF the
present year. The number of auto
mobile registry numbers issued this
year now is over $4,000. Eighty
five per cent of the auto tax is dis
tributed among the various counties.
The state highway commission gets
per cent and per cent goes to the
office of the treasurer of state to pay
for the expense of handling the mo-
ney. The quarterly distribution to
counties on August 1st and they
will get about $165,000.

CUT THE WEEDS NOW.
Every Property Owner Must Cut
Weeds From Lot and Adjoining
Highway Before August
18th.

For a month past the city has
been busy cutting weeds about city
property and in places most need
ed; some time ago the railroads
were notified to destroy all weeds
along their rights of way; and re-
Gently notice has been sent by the
city clerk to every property owner
in the city to comply with the some
what drastic terms of the new weed
law, passed by the recent legislature.
The new law provides that noxi-
Gus weeds must be cut, burned or
otherwise destroyed by property
owners both on their property and
on the abutting highway. That If
this is not done by August 18th, the
city shall have the weeds cut, the
cost assessed against the property
and collected as part of the tax
against that property.
An effort is being made generally
throughout the state to comply with
this law, but it will probably be a
year or two before it becomes as eff
fective as its promoters intended.

Postmaster Biermann announced
last week that arrangements had
been made for the delivery of incom-
ing mail on Sunday morning through
the lock boxes in the postoffice, to
parties holding lock boxes. Some time
ago this service was discontinued,
but after taking the matter up with
the proper officials he secured its
reinstatement. This is convenience
to business men and others having
lock boxes. Heretofore only news
papers, newsdealers and hotels re-
ceived Sunday mail, and the added
service can be given with practically
no extra work on the part of the
Office force. Neither the general de-
livery or carriers windows will be
open.
A. NJ. Kelly has the contract for
tinting the walls of the interior of
the Office during the next few months,
or before Nov. 18TH, which will add
TO the beauty of our already magni-
ficent government building.

Heralds of summers Passing.


Now the locust winds his horn as
the sun is sinking low and the grass
hopper chorus wakes louder every
day. Any evening you may expect
to hear the sepulchral warning of
the katydid that the summer is fast
passing. He is hardly ever later
than July 20. Listen for him an
hour or so after sunset among some
of the big trees which hang their
foliage thickly over the avenue.
Blackbirds have assembled in
great fiocks, spending their nights in
the swamps or on the widowed is
lands, and the greater part of their
days in the grain fields. Robins al
so fly in companies and if you really
know the robin you may tell them
instantly by the manner of their
fight, even though they are so high
in the air that their colors cannot
be recognized.
Acorns are filling on the oaks and
the flying squirrels in the night time
split vast quantities of them, seeking
the tender kernels. The big bios
SONS of the elder have departed, but
the berries are filling fast. The
honeysuckle berries give glow of
red to the shrubs and the viburum
berries and barberries will soon be-
gin to turn. Hazel nuts, hickory
nuts and walnuts have almost reach
cd their full size. The flower season
is waning and the season of fruits
| is at hand.
Yet some of the most beautiful
| flowers are to come. The pink pur-
| pie of the blazing star, the masses
of sunflowers along the fence rows
and the lavender blossoms of the
bergamot, or horse mint in the fence
corners, give color and beauty to the
landscape. The giant sunfowers
are getting ready to bloom standing
high above the palings with the holy
hooks while the hydrangeas are pre-
pairing to break into pillows Of
white.
1t is good to be alive in these
days which herald the passing OF the
summer, especially if one has time
and the disposition to saunter among
the beautiful forms and colors until
something of their sweetness and
grace passes through mis- senses to
his soul.--Cedar Rapids Republican.

Her love is waning when:
She comes to the breakfast table

She lets him see her comb her

She says there aren't any such
creatures as the boys who keep him

She says she's glad they don't hold
hands any more.
She says she's going shopping and
leaves him at home.
She tides up his den.
She forgets to hand him the cur
rent neighborhood scandal.
She detects the reason for the
Glove.
His love is chilling when:
He notices that the peculiar look
in her eye is squint.
He insists upon having sugar in
his tea.
He notices that the mantelpiece is
dusty.
He wonders what he can tell her
when he is late.
He asks her if that is really sing
ing.
He reads the newspaper at break
fast time.
He completely forgets to buy the
magazine she wants.
He won't tie her shoe lace on the
street.
He says she's getting extravagant.

IOWa'S Towns.

There is much talk of low as a
great farming state until tie farm
er seems 70 get more than his full
share of praise and credit for the
high position that Iowa takes in the
sisterhood of states. And that is
noe all that he gets, either.
Granted, that it is al based uron
the farmer, and give him his dIe.
But consider for & moment thu
towns of Iowa. She has no big city.
Blessed will she be if she never has
one. She has few big towns. And
in fact, they are not needed. But
Iowa does have hundreds of smaller
towns that are a credit to her and
that are far ahead Of smaller towns
in other states. They are interesting,
they are worthy of study and of much
favorable comment. They offer de-
lightful homes, and they offer air
returns to men who desire to engage
in business. Men do not simply toll
i'm Iowa cities and towns, but they
also live in Iowa towns and enjoy
living in them. We cannot all be
farmers, and we cannot all till the
soil. Just because the man in some
ether state does not happen to be
farmer, forms no reason why he
should not come to Iowa. He can
live better in a small Iowa town and
he can liye longer than elsewhere
and he can enjoy most of the COM
forts and blessings of metropolitan
life, while being free from all the
unpleasant and dangerous features
Consider the towns, and speak OF
them in the proper spirit when tell
ing your friends in other states
about Iowa. She has the best little
towns in the world, and she has them
by the Observation-Disclosures Hawk
eye.
