rambling away alone, down the street,

speed.

in pursuit, arriving just In time to
prevent II from disregarding all traffic
rules at a crowded crossing.
Mr.. Koerber applied the brake and
investigated.
The motor was not running and the
switch remained at "Off." Nor had the
motive power come from the electric
starting system. Inquiry among

Wreck of Chicago Cubs is Warning to Both
PLAYERS and MagndteS Who Are Greedy

The ruin of the great machine built
up by Chance is the result OF nothing
else than money greed--greed by the
players for more money; worse greed
by the owner.
Let us go back TO the start. The
Cubs, when Murphy came into posses

league. Selee believed in small sal

WOLVES INVADE THE
 CITY OF BELGRADE

Belgrade March 14.-Packs of hungry wolves, driven out of the forests by the intense cold and loss of their usual food supply, have appeared in the environs Of Belgrade. The animals have become q real menace even in the most thiclSly populated regions. A Belgrade manufac- turer while driving recently from his factory to his home was pursued by a pack. Only the fleetness of his horse saved him from horrible death The beasts were evidenly famished and when they sighted the sleigh they set out in pursuit with bloodthirsty howls, which SD frighted the horse that his driver did not need to urge him forward.

 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets very quickly restore appetite by making the stomach want food. The stomach readily recovers from indigestion, dys- pepsia, etc, as soon as it is enabled to digest food. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after each meal quickly digest that meal and thus wonderfully rest the stomach. -
 In short time the digestion as- sumes its normal condition and then appetite-and good appetite, too-is the natural consequence. One may actually fluidize a few Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets, place them in a glass tube with meat, grains, vegetables, etc, and these tablets will digest the contents of the tube without aid.
 Just think then how quickly and eff ficiently they act when they are mixed with the food in ones system and what great relief it is to the digestive ap- paratus to have it's fluids so enriched. Go to your druggist today and ob- tain a 50-cent box and make the actual test yourself after you have eaten a large and hearty neal.

Unless you have real hearty de- sire for food you should by all meaus take no chances of stomach trouble, for loss of appetite means signal of distress from a deranged digestion.
 When the stomach wants food it sig- ' nals the nlind through the nerves, and these excite the taste buds in the mouth which at once secrete large quantities of saliva. This is called mouth water" and all of us know when our mouths water we want food.

Discipline" His address was full of
good points and those present re-
ceived many ideas on school manage
ment. He is a forceful speaker and
handled the subject well. Mrs. Hat
tie Moore-Mitchell addressed the
teachers again at the Saturday morn
ing session, her topic being This
Was Why They Liked Her." which
dealt with the teachers personalities
and how much they have to do with
successful teaching. At the close of
her address the teachers voted on
when they would like to have the next
county institute and the majority
were in favor Of holding it during
short course week. Superintendent
Olry will endeavor to hold institute at
this time, which will enable both the
teachers and students to attends short
course as we'll as the institute.
The last meeting was held Saturday
afternoon at LIS in the assembly
room of the high school. The pro-
gram opened with duet by Miss Har-
riet Gebert and Hubert VanNess,
which was exceptionally we'll rend-
cred and enjoyed by all. Mrs. Hattie

ers again on "Over the Doorstep Into

whole was yery successful and all
are loud in praise for the fine pro-
gram which had been arranged for
their entertainment.

CRAWFORD GETS
AUTOMOBILE TAX
ment Of Crawford County's Share
Of Auto Tax Money /.
AMOUNTS TO OVER $7,so1.oo
This Amount Of Money Goes Into. the
County Road Fund for Building
Permanent Roads.

County Treasurer Louie Evers re-
ceived last week the first apportion-
ment of Crawford county's share of
the auto tax money from the auditor
of state at Des Moines, which amounts
to $7,3O1.2S. This amount represents
the county's share of all automobile
tax money which has been paid into
the state auditors office since the last
apportionment, which was made last
August, up until April 1st of this year.
This is only the first draw and there
will be still, another some time in
August, and it is thought that the
total draw for the year will amount
to in the neighborhood of $12,000.G0.
OF course the first draw will be the
heavier for nearly all of those who
own autos have sent in for their 1914
license numbers and paid the neces
sary amount. The money which the
county will receive next August will
largely represent tax money received
from owners of new Cars.
1t may be of interest to readers of
the Review to know just how much
money has been turned into the coun-
ty treasury each year since the new
law went into effect. In 1911 the
county received $1,2Os.97. In 1912
Crawford county received $5,66O.74;
in 1913 Treasurer kvers received ST.
3S9.31.
The money received from the state
auditor from the automobile tax goes
into the county road building fund and
is used for building permanent
bridges and culverts.

SCHOOL TEACHERS
VISIT DENlS0N
Friday and Saturday Of Last Week
Teachers Days When Large
Number Attend Meeting.
SPECIAL PROGRAM ARRANGED
Prominent Teachers Of the State in
Attendance and Are Heard in
Short Talks Given.

Denison was turned over to the
school teachers on Friday and Sat,
urday of last week, when the annual
teachers and patrons meeting con-
vened. Teachers were not required to
register, but it is estimated that in
the neighborhood of IT'S were in at
tendance at the two days session.
A special program had been ar
ranged by County Superintendent o.
ry, under whose direction the meeting
was held. Mrs. Hattie Moore-Mitch-
ell, dean of women at Drake univer-
sity, was present and also Professor
Benson, institute worker and chau-
tauqua lecturer of Minneapolis, MINI.
Both of these teachers are known
throughout the west for their work
along school lines, and it was indeed
a treat for the Crawford county teach
ers to hear their lectures.
The first session was held at the
Presbyterian church on Friday eve
ming and the church was we'll filled
with an appreciative audience. The
program opened with two solos by
Lenihan Lally, which were greatly
enjoyed. Superintendent Olry presid-
ed at the meeting and introduced Mrs.
Hattie Moore-M Mitchell, who gave a
most interesting and entertaining talk
on II Wonder if I Am" Mrs. Mitch
ell is speaker of marked ability and
it is a pleasure to listen to this
learned woman. Her subject was
along the line of higher ideals for
both teachers and pupils and she i'm
pressed upon the minds of the teach
ers that it was necessary for them to
be able to meet all obstacles which
may come up in school life. She Won
dered if the teachers were able to
read the signs and progress of the
time and if they could see just what
was expected from the present public
schools. Mrs. Mitchell talked for
over an hour, and during that time
held the rapt attention Of her large
audience.
Saturday morning the teachers con-
gregated at the assembly room of the
high school, where the morning sess-
ion convened at $3.50. Professor Ben
