MILLIONS IN IOWA AUTOS.
Smoke Wagon Investments Twice AS
Large As In 1913.

Iowa will have $4,000, 900 invest
ed in automobiles by the close Of the
year 1914-just twice as much as
the gas wagons" in the state I. in
1913 were worth
This is shown by figures complied
in the automobile department at the
state house. Over $4,000 automo-
biles have been registered by the de-
partment since January l. The entire
registration for the year of 1913 was
only $4,000 Which indicates there
are now 21,00O more autos than at
the same time a year ago. 1t is pre-
dicted by the automobile department
officials that the total number of
registrations will be $4,000 by the
end of the year. The average price
of automobiles used in Iowa is fixed
at $1,000.

OIL PLENTIFUL IN IOWA.
Eastern Representative to Drill Well
at Charlton 10 Prove 1t.

Burlington, Ia. July 1.-B. H.
TEMPLE, a former Burlington boy, but
now Of Pittsburgh and connected
with the Iowa-TeXas Fuel, Oil & Gas
ccmrsly, was here on his way to
Charlton, where he will drill an oil
we'll. His company, which owns
10000 acres in Texas and 10000
acres in southwestern Iowa, is con-
fdent that oil will be found in this
state. Near Charlton they expect to
drill four or five wells The exact
depth that they will have to drill is
not yet known, but it is thought to
be about 1900 feet. They are sure
that oil exists all over Iowa, in some
places $50 feet below the surface
Mr.. Temples company is, Of
course, encouraged by the recent
striking of oil in McDonough county,
H., only 400 feet below the earth's
surface. They have exrert biologists
looking over the ground in Iowa,
and all the reports are most favora-
Bile. Mr.. Temple says If oil is found
near Charlton it is certainty that
natural gas will also be found. Asked
if this could be piped to Burlington,
he said it could be, and the price
would be much cheaper than the citi-
zens of Burlington are now paying.
He said there was also oil right here
near Burlin gton, but that it would be
necessary to drill through so many
feet of flint to reach it that it would
hardly be a paying proposition.

McGregor, Ia, July Mayor T.
]. Sullivan of McGregor has evil
dence to show that not always does
the stranger take us in" skepti-
cal old world to the contrary. Sun
day morning two young fellows
shelyed their canoe at the foot of
Main street in McGregor, went up
to the Catholic church and after
service called on Mr.. Sullivan. They
wanted money. According to their
story they were taking a canoe trip
from their home in Minneapolis to
ST. Louis. A draft was waiting for
them in the Dubuque postoffice but
they had overreached their present
supply of funds and had no money
for board and lodging, Mayor Sui
Ivan looked them over, decided their
appearance justified taking the
chance and gave them the So they
wanted Today came a letter from
Dubuque on a Wales Hotel letter
head with a money order for the IS
enclosed and a note of very sincere
appreciation. The boys gave their
namas as Ray Pendergast and Amos
Bauman.

Unemployed Women and Domestic
Service.

1t is a singular cross current of
modern economies, that while in
some cities women have been hold
ing mass meetings for the unemploy-
ed the past month or two, yet it is as
hard as ever to find domestic SER
wants.
Probably these idle women think
that with spring weather trade will
look up, and that the factories that
previously employed them will ask
for help again. Apparently they
would prefer to suffer some immedi-
ate hardship rather than give up the
independence Of the factory.
Their bargain seems to be poor
one. Domestic service would give
nearly the same cash wage as I'M
skilled shop work, it would save the
payment Of board and provide bet
ter food.
But human nature is as it is. The
early colonists found that the Indi-
ans would barter much more corn in
return for glass beads than they
would for the standard gold and sill
yer coins of Europe. If women want
the freer life that goes with shop
work, the employing class must give
them that freedom; or pay a higher
price for control over their time, or
must put up with very raw help, or
no help at all.
The domestic worker has her own
social aspirations. At certain hours
the girls Of her set who work in shops
have the luxurious freedom of the
streets. They can meet the men of
their acquaintance and form plans
for the evenings entertainment. No
doubt it is much more prudent and
much safer to be serving a late din
ner to the mistress and her family al
home. But a sense of deprivation
rises under these circumstances in
the heart of the girl, as she rebelli-
ously washes her dishes, incident
ally smashing little china by way
of emphasis.
Servants wages will be high, and
many unemployed women will be re-
luctant to enter this field, until its
hours are more like those of a fac
tory schedule.

inexpensive Vacations.

Vacation time is at hand and those
of US who cannot so to the mountains
or the seashore may find inspiration
in the Practice Of an Atkinson, Kan,
painter.
This man has q vacation every
day-or rather, every night. He
comes home from work, tired of
limb, to be sure, but inspired by the
recreation before him. He has a
horse and spring wagon. He also
has wife and lot of love for her
He hitches the horse to the spring
wagon every evening, takes his wife
in the seat beside him and the two
hike off to the woods to spend the
twilight hours and the night. Sup
per IS PREPARED in the open, then the
two fish or row as long as they wish,
end UP with half an hours swim-and
tumble into cots for delicious, un-
broken sleep until morning. They
are up with the birds the next day
and the FAINTER is back on his jos,
working with will and with anxiety
for TIE evening to come.
A vacation is nothing more than
change from ones routine duty,
and this Kansas painter is doing
nothing more than almost any of US
could do. The trouble with most OF
us is we are too lazy to take vaca-
tior.

Stripped O, Clothing Escapes Will
Life.

Milford, Ia, July IAN accident
that 999 times in 1000 would have
resulted fatally occurred in the Plant
of the Milford Concrete Works. This
is the one time that it did not. AL
bert Heinrich who is working at the
mixer plant, in feeding the machine,
accidentally clogged it and caused
the drive chain to fly off, Albert
reached over to replace it, when the
sproket wheel on the shaft caught in
the bib Of Albert's overaIis and in a
fraction of a second he was being
whir.ed around the shaft at lightnins
speed.
Before any one could throw off
the power Albert's clothing except
his socks and the shirt about his
shoulders had been torn entirely off
and Albert had been thrown aside.
He luckily alighted on his feet and
did not even drop to the ground.
After looking about to get his bear
ings he went into another room
where he had extra trousers and af-
ter dressing himself came back with
a hammer ready to repair the damage
done to the hopper, which his shoes
had broken in his rapid revolution
about the shaft. He was not even
scratched.

The Rise and Decline of Trade.

Gibbon wrote famous history on
the Decline and fall of the Roman
Empire In the power and pride of
Rome on the ascending scale, few
would have thought ruin was posi-
BILE. Similarly in many well estab-
lished business houses there are the
seeds of decay.
The merchants of any community
range themselves into two classes.
There are those who have an estab-
lished trade, great or small. Some
of them think they can now live on
the fruits of their past efforts. All
they have to do is to sit still and
their regular customers will come
around and buy their goods.
But population changes more rap
idly than it used to. Few people
send out roots deep into any soil.
Death claims It's share. Any given
body of people, accustomed to buy
ing goods in some one place, will be
cut in two by death and removal in
five years
The older people who bought goods
regularly at one store, were almost
ashamed to be seen going into anoth-
er place. They felt as if it were al
most an act of disloyalty. Nowadays
no one is tied up anywhere. All
go where the best bargains are offer
ed. Few places have any regularly
established trade that can be counted
on without persistent solicitation.
New customers must constantly be
sought to take the place of those that
drop out
The other class of merchants are
those that are coming. In a year,
by persistent efforts to tell the pub
lie what they are doing, they build
up their own constituency. 1t is
made up not merely Of the drifters
and fioaters, but from wide awake
people who are drawn from less ag-
gressiye and enterprising stores.
The, business that does not adver-
tise is Usually the business that is
going down. The business that ad-
vertises is the business that is COM
ing up.

Moving Pictures -Or Churches.

Now churches are going to be sup
piled with a regular change of bill
weekly-movie-flm service. A number
of educators and workers in the re-
ligious and social service field have
completed plans for this moving pic
ture film service for the use of chur-
ches all over the country.
Beginning Oct. l, 400 churches in
400 cities of the United States will
be supplied with high-class weekly
five-flm motion picture entertain
ment. DR.. Charles Steele, social eff
ficiency engineer and former head OF
the labor temple, will be thesmanag
ing director of the company which
is now being incorporatedF
Later the company expects to pro
duce its own films. At he pxssept
time. however, it has a photographer
in Palestine taking motion pictures.
Another man is securing Europe for
the best educational films, while a
third man is hunting all over Amer
lea for photo-p'ays suitable for pro-
ductioa in churches. Humorous pic
lures will be shown and big dramatic
feature films also will be included
in the service.

BRIDE BREAKS A MIRROR.
Trio Have Thrilling
Experience Following the
Incident.

Shenandoah, Ia, July Mrs.
Carl c. Mexican of Sidney, a bride of
two weeks, dropped her best mirror
and broke it. That, she ayers, is
the cause of the bad luck which be-
fell the McKeans and Harlan Edgar
Ralston, a young Shenandoah real
estate man, Wednesday night.
Ralston had purchased new mo-
torcycle and determined to try it out
en- a trip to Sidney. The motor didn't
work very we'll and he induced the
McKeans to bring him home IN their
big Vel:e car. They slowed the bal
ky motorcycle in the car, and then
Mr.. and Mrs. Mexican and young
l,Ralston crawled in.
Just after they rounded steep
hill four miles west of Shenandoah
they noticed a blaze IN the bottom
of the auto. A small explosion fol-
lowed. The fire had already burned
the brake, making it impossible to
stop the car, and the blazing automo-
bile, with its three scared occupants,
shot down the long grade at terrific
rate OF speed. When they reached
the valley and started up the next
hill the car slackened speed suffici-
emily to permit leap for safety
The passengers sprang from the
car just as the fire reached the gaso-
line. Then they sat by the roadside
and watched the big car and the new
motorcycle burn for two hours with
a glow that was seen for miles
around. Ralston also lost coat and
fat pocketbook, which he left in the
car in the scramble for safety.
The command. Thou shalt not
kill" is applied by most people to
n l-s- l.
