1t may be impossible TO absolutely
enforce the law with regard to school
boys smoking but the parents can help
the school authorities a great deal in
the matter. Superintendent Cunning
ham recently had an opinion from the
state superintendent regarding this
law, and this official says that boy
attending school who is found smoking
either during school days or other
days. either on or off the school
grounds can be suspended or expelled
as the board may see fit. Locally it
seems the boys are paying a good deal

BY THE AUTO ROUTE.


Tho, as a newspaper man, the writer
considered himself fairly familiar with
Shenandoah business conditions. a
rather careful investigation into last
years retail business here has given US
a distinct and altogether welcome sur
prise.
1t is in the wide and increasingly
widening territory from which Shen-
andoah stores are drawing trade.
From within what radius do you
figure to draw trader" we asked one
of the proprietors OF one of the larger
in every direction, and even up to
thirty miles in some directions" he re-
piled. This was surprise to us, altho
it may not be to everybody.
within what limits do you find that
you sell your largest bills?" we asked
again. Last year." ne said. many OF
our largest bills were sold to customers
who lived from twelve to twenty miles
from Shenandoah. and in several in
stances we shipped the goods by freight
to the nearest little town In their vi
cinity."
Further inquiry established the fact
that practically all Of our stores figure

who live ten. twenty and even thirty
miles in nearly every direction.
It IL the auto that has done 1.-THE
auto and the fact that retail stocks as
they are carried ip Shenandoah are
sufficiently large and comprehensive to
attract people who can get here with
any convenience at all.

auto at his place twenty miles from
town il. in point of time and conven-
fence, just as handy to the advantages
of Shenandoah's big stores as the
farmer three miles away used to be ten
years ago. His car eats up the twenty
miles more quickly and with less worry
and discomfort to himself and family
than did the team and wagon when it
had three or four miles to travel over
the poorer roads Of few years ago.
And why is not this the logical con-
clusion of the big auto business? With
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
vested in them there must be some
revenue for their owners figured out
somewhere. And where could that
revenue be made any more certain than
by bringing their owners in to trade at
Shenandoah stores?

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

eVangelists to insist on sermonizing in

Des Moines Register and Leader. But
thoughrless or malevolent, as the case
may be, he seems to extract delight

causes women and children and men
who have consideration for the feelings
of others. That he does it with I'M

phasizes the aggravation.'

up to the present, after no office for
himself. The salaries of some of the
offices have been literally spent in
trying to get them landed for this or
that man." asserts the Cedar Rapids
Republican. The political game is a
great one and the democratic managers
of Iowa has played it to limits that
even the republicans of the past never
dreamed Of.
The Burlington Hawlleye says:
There is TO argument against, there
is no danger in divorce For the peo-
pie who can not dwell together in
peace and harmony now, surely would
not be able to dwell together in peace
and harmony if there were no such
thing as divorce"
The Waterloo Times Tribune claims
to have noticed that, THE more rings
a woman has on her fingers the oftener

Iowa lakes should be preserved not
alone for fishing. boating. skating and
other pleasureable purposes but as a
part Of natures wise and benefcient

While il is not likely that we would

seems TO be the proper type of man for

Human. sl.uaht.rina.


Tn a recent news bulletin Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture 1t is
stated that the three methods Of killing
animals among civil zed peoples are
bleeding after stunning, bleeding after
'pithing.' and simple bleeding.
Pithing' ie q new word to most Of
US. 1t is an operation performed by
sticking q knife between the base Of
the skull and the first vertebra into
that part Of the spinal axis called the
medulla.
THE government officials having in
charge the enforcement Of the laws
agains the inhumane treatment Of
animals seem to feel that this custom
is indefensible, for they say that
neither consciousness nor sensibility is
Immediately destroyed Stunning is
said to meet the demands Of hurnani-
tartan sentiment and Of hygenic re-
quirement.' Doubt is expressed as to
the correstness Of the claim that stun
ming prevents thorough bleeding.
Nothing is said in this bulletin as to
the prevailing custom Of slaughtering
hogs by hanging them up by the hind
legs. sticking them, and allowing them
to bleed, but the inference is plain
that it is regarded as cruel. Nobody
who has ever Seen the operation can
think otherwise Stunning would cost
money, but cruelty, costs more than
money will repay

titled 20 support Of his party associates.
When II comes to legislative positions
men who believe in progress and pro.
gressive ideas should be nominated
and party platforms must conform to
the enlightened sentiment OF the age.
The republican party cannot win bat
ties upon its record. 1t must put Ns
face to the front and keep In touch
with the spirit Of the times. Here IN
Iowa and In number of other states
the party has done this and IN sucn
states It is still strong and militant.
II the republican party rises to Its OPP

will disintegrate. otherwise the third
party will thrive and it will be but
matter Of time until the great repup-

A majority of the people of this coun.

There can be no doubt of that. Hence
the party must put leaders on guard

ONE OLD BACHELOR.
chamberlain in Sioux City Journal
The story of a man who Is above
40 and has not married, comes to the
writer. Such men, of course, are not
uncommon. 1t seems that in this case
the hero of single blessedness once
loved girl 1t cannot here be recorded
whether or not she was especially
handsome, although she must have
been in the eyes of the lover, for no
man ever loves damsel without think
ing her pretty. At the time of the
affair Of their hearts, the young man
was under 20 years of age and the girl
was II. Beyond the shining sea OF
courtship, on which they were sailing,
they beheld the delicious harbor OF
matrimony. But it was only vision
and not to be realized. The maiden
met another man. Usually in romances
of this kind she dies and her sweet
heart is supported to go through life
disconsolate, but this was an exception
to the rule. She married the other
man and together they have reared a
large. fine family. But the first lover
goes through the world alone. nursing
a dream. Most Of US sympathize in
half patient way with such people
people who think there is but one fish
in the ocean Of life for them. But our
sympathy is not very deep; there are
too many lonely souls crying for mates,
for that. And, again, a man who goes
to a river and drops in his line and
after while pulls up a fish which, by
chance, he loses, would be considered
very stupid if he were to fold up his
line and go home, thinking there were
no more fish worth the trying for, So
1t is in this case, and all other similar
cases, for that matter

PREACHERS AND POLICE.
TDes Moines Tribune,1

Several leading preachers of the
city took occasion yesterday to exon
crate Chief Jenney. and to assure their
congregations. in effect. that the ex-
posture Of the police scandal was an
attempt to down good man, in the
face Of the fact that
the newspapers Of the city which
know more about police conditions in

The head of a big mail order house

This mail order house last year did

In addition to the per cent earned
and paid on the preferred stock OF
