Dubuque, June 29.-Dubuque during
the part of this month that has already
gone has established record in thun-
der storms. During this June there
have been more days on which there
were thunder storms than during any
month for the past forty years. The
nearest approach to the record was in
July, 1907, May, 1899, July, 1888, and
there We're thirteen days on which
there were thunder storms, while June
this year has a record Of fourteen
days.
But not only has the month estab-
1ished record for days of storms. hut
the month has set new record for the
. number of storms. On June 3. 4, 5, 6,
10, II. Is. and 10 there was at least one
thunder storm every day. On June u
there were three storms, one at a.
M. one at s a. M. and one at l y. m.
On June % there were two storms, one
big one lasting from midnight to a.
m. and the other at 3 p. m. The storms
skipped the twenty third but on the
Path there were two more storms, one
at a. m. and one at 1880 p. m. The
25th scared ur a single storm a a.
m. but on the 26th there were two, one
at a. m. and one at p. m. The 9th
completed the week by dragging in a
storm shortly after midnight. making.
nineteen thunder storms in all during
the month 60 date.
Rainfall Heavy.
Altho Dubuque has had more than
its share of thunder storms and each
storm has been accompanied by a
plentiful downpour, the precipitation
curing the month has not been ex-
traordinary. The rainfall has been
considerably more than normal, but
several other month in the past have
exceeded it, one June showing nearly
double the amount, which figures out
only a trif1e over five and t!lree-quar-
ters inches.
It is to the north of Dubuque that
the heavy rains have fallen. For in
stance La Crosse had over three inches
Friday night and Bismarck, n. D., had
over four inches while Dubuque got
only o. Of an inch. South Of Dubuque
the country has been suffering for
rainfall, experiencing a regular drouth,
accompanied by extreme heat st.
Louis has had only 80 per cent Of it's
normal. Dubuque has been fortunate
in being about half way between the
two extremes.

Detroit June 29-That the automo-
bile industry is permanent, bound to
keep on growing, that the demand is
for cars below $1,000 are salient facts
set out in an expert investigation OF
the industry nation wide in its re-
search.
For number of weeks there has
been circulating among a few Detroit
business men a thick, green, leather
bound volume of 1,400 pages. the VOL
luminous contents of which have been
absorbed with eagerness and the sub
ject matter made the topic of much
conversation.
The investigation was made and the
report printed by the divisions of COM
meTcfal research of the Curtis Pub
fishing Company of .Philadelphia. who
assigned Charles Coolidge Parlin, q
thoroughly equipped and welltrained
expert. to the work. Mr. Parlln and
his staff have worked for many
months delving into the motor car in
dustry, Travelled about $4,000 miles. and
collected over 500 personal interviews
on which to base their statements and
conclusions. The territory covered ex-
tended from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
and from the southern to the northern
states. 1t was a vast undertaking, but
il was a labor we'll worth while. The
information secured and the concu-
sions reached are of special value, as
they come from an unprecedented out
slider whose only motive was to secure
the facts.
Some of the conclusions set forth
The automobile industry is perma-
nent.
1t will never be a monopoly.
Total number Of machines sold each
year Still on the increase.
Market for cars costing between $3.50
and $500 still increasing.

cline:- sightseeing touring probably on
increase.

sons complicate labor problem.
r Future automobile may he different
in style. but will accomplish little more
practically.
Greatest demand is for Improvement
in tires and for a carburetor for low

ture gains in sales.

To Women Who overdo

Thousands of American women in our
homes are daily sacrificing their lives to
duty. In order to keep the home neat
and attractive, the children we'll dressed
and tidy, women overdo. Soon a weak
ness or displacement is brought on and
they suffer in silence, drifting along
from bad to worse. For forty years
Lydia E. Pinkharn's Vegetable Com
pound has proved a boon and blessing
to women in this condition, by restoring
their systems to a normal healthy con-
dition. Why don't you try it?-Adver-

In handing down decision against
the "Progressives, and in favor of
Republican registrars in Mason
county, Judge O'Brien, who was a
Roosevelt voter two years ago. said,
as reported by the Mason Rcpubli-
can, third party organ:
"All. or nearly all voters casting a
ballot for Mr.. Roosevelt in 1912
claimed to be Republicans at the
time and are still Republicans.
"The court knows as much about
the situation in Mason county as any
one else. without listening to argu-

1T is the opinion of the court that
nc Progressive party existed in 1872.

THE HIGH COST OF PoMPADoURs.

We respectfully call the attention
of Congressman Nicely to the fact
that the BARRIERS have increased the
price of pompadour hair cuts to 4Oc.
Thus the high cost of living is stead
lily rising. Perhaps putting the POM
padour hair cut on the free list
might reduce the price. Did 1t not
reduce the cost of bread. and meat,
and sugar. and shoes, and clothing.
and hats and caps, and sOX, and
shirts, and drugs, and beans, and po-
tatoes, and bananas, and plows, and
rakes, and buggics, and nails, and
lumber, and soup? The only relief
in sight for the James J. Corbett
brand of haircut is to put the POM
padour on the free list or comb 1t
down straight over the eyes.
