Want Ad Brings $4,000 Job.

George d. Thompson of Washing
ton recently answered a want-ad in
a newspaper, and as a result, he is
now third deputy commissioner of
Charities for New York city, at a
salary of $4,000 a year. 1t appears
taat Mayor Mitchell wanted good
man for the job, so he advertised in
the newspapers, as follows:-".Want-
ed: Business manager, thirty-five to
iorty-five years OF age; able to super
intend large force of employees, di-
rect extensive construction work,
organize and direct purchasing and
distribution of enormous quantities
of supplies; only men of marked ex-
ecutive ability and good experience
need apply; salary, $4,000 year;
highest references required
Over 800 answered the advertise
ment, and none Of them knew 1t was
the largest city in the country that
wanted a man. Thompson was sur
prised to learn that he had won the
position, and still further surprised
when he found who he was working
for.

THE AUTO in POLITICS.

The automobile has been held re.
sponsible for the high cost of living
the falling off Of attendance at churcn
and several other things, but has any
one yet brought indictment against
it for the disappearance of the red
fire and the blaring bands and the
torchlight professions from politics
Yet one has but to take a glance over
the daily itinerary of any one of orr
leading candidates to understand how
the automobile has taken the hip
hip hooray out of the game.
In the old days, when the candi-
date had to depend on the railroad
trains, the campaign committee would
pick out one Of the larger cities for
rally and make the people come to
the candidate. And they came from
all directions. Now that the candi-
date can cover q county in a day in
a speeding automobile, he goes in
stead to the people to meet them in
their own abiding places. In the old
days the candidate was the attrac-
ton, and the candidate who cal
drum up an audience of respectable
size considers himself fortunate. The
automobile has cheapened the can
didate as a headliner The small
towns see as many candidates as do
the large cities. and thanks to the
automobile again, the advent of eth
er a statesman or a candidate for
high Office in this midst or that has
ceased to be an event of sufficient
importance for a community to go in
to any paroxysms of enthusiasm over
it.
Take Senator Kenyon's schedule
for an average twenty-four hours, for
instance: Laurens, at $3.50 p. M,
Havelock, at 4:30 p. M. PocahoE-
tas, at $3.50 p. m; Palmer, at s D..
m; Rolfe, at a. M; ERADICATE, at
10 a. M; Bode, at IL a. M; Liver
more, at II m, and Humboldt ut
2:30 p. m. That lineup is typical Of
the hop-skip-and-jump sort of a life
which all the topliners in Iowa poll
tics have been leading the last few
weeks, and without a doubt it ex-
plains in large measure the great
change that has come about in the
character of the rallies since the good
old times when the Orator of the
day. from the minute he landed at
the station in the morning to the mu-
sic of the village band, until after
the rally at night he was escorted in
state to the same station by COM
mittee of prominent citizens, was
Toasted and feted like a Roman cou-
queror of old.

SChmitZ 40 Years Old.

Editor Schmitz of the Ossian Bee
went home Wednesday night (as
usuaD and On his arrival found the
house full of people. Of course he
was surprised, to say the least The
good people assembled to celebrate
the 10th anniversary of his birth,
for which event the edtor's better
half had slyly prepared in advance.
Amusements of various kinds were
indulged in during the evening, in
terspersed with music and song by
Miss Charlotte Gunderson and Otto
Gunderson. At eleven o'clock D. m.
all sat to tables laden with things 20
eat, and if the things to eat were
good 1t will not do for the editor to
say it. Following the feast at the
tables, Rev. M. j. Thiltgen, d. d.,
made brief address and presented
to the editor, in behalf Of those as
sembled, a beautiful ring, set with
a reconstructed ruby; and it's a
peach, boys. No doubt all had a
good time-anyway, the editor had.

THE OYSTER.

Ha! ha! Here comes our old friend,
the oyster and says not one word
about the war striking him in the So
lar plexus. Butter it up, which hurts
the soup a little and crackers want
to raise a little, but altogether the
oyster has behaved passably well.
Yes, We are going to winter on oy-
sters If they remain In statu quo or
nearly SO. There's nothing that slim
ulates an editor to write sensibly like
the oyster. Beef makes his articles
too heavy. Pork makes them slip
perry. Mutton is too tame and chic
ken makes them sort Of feathery. but
oysters give those articles just the
right twang. Neither fish, flesh nor
fowl. A man can write war news OH
oysters without saying word about
the dead, wounded and missing. All
right, oysters for us at the present
writing.

CEMENT CRIB is WONDER.
Will Hold 5000 Bushels OF Corn
Is 80 Feet High.

Webster City. Ia, Nov. 9.-E. e.
Sudderberg, who lives at Pleasant
Valley, south OF Stratford, has about
finished a cement corn crib that is
the wonder of all who see it. When
finished the only lumber in the struc-
ture will be the air shaft, which is
six feet in diameter and twenty-four
feet in height and over the top will be
a cone shaped iron or tin roof so that
the corn will fall from the elevator
on it and be scattered all around the
crib.
The extreme height is thirty-five
feet and the diameter, outside mea-
sure, is twenty-five feet. The walls
are made of hollow cement blocks
two feet long, nine inches high and
seven inches thick. They are round
ed so that they make perfect circle.
There is only one outside door and
that is Of iron put on with a spring
so that it is impossible to leave it
open for rats and mice to get in. The
foundation is six feet deep with Il
smooth cement shelf around the en-
tire crib so that rats and mice can't
crawl over It. There is corn room
twenty feet high. The cupola is six
feet by six feet by four and one half
feet, with door for the elevator. The
roof Of the crib is made of cement
sections four feet by ten feet anu
laid on cement rafters and in the
foundation is tile in four directions
for ventilation and through the CEN
ter, just even with the floor, is d
trough made to run a drag through
when he wants to shell corn from the
crib. Around the air shaft will be
doors to open to let the corn into the
drag.
There are three hundred and thirty
SdChS vi CenelL III the CTlD anu MI.
Sudderberg and sons, Louis and Wal
lace, have nodded every block and
done all the work. They also made
all the plans themselves. The walls,
both outside and inside, are as
smooth as a board. They are lucky
enough to have sand pit on their
own land so that the sand did not
cost more than the work of digging
and hauling. Mr.. Sudderberg and
sons have also made tile and posts
enough to tile and fence their quar-
ter section. The crib is estimated
to hold 5000 bushels.

Malicious Halloween Prank

A Halloween prank nearly cost
the lives of party of automobiles
four miles southwest of Waterloo on
the Hudson road, Saturday night. A
stump had been dragged to the mid
die of the road and a heavy car
struck it at good speed. Fortunately,
no one was seriously injured, tho all
the passengers were thrown out when
the car went into a ditch A wheel
and an axle On the car were broken,
and the machine plowed a deep hole
in the side of the road. The stump,
which was caught under the car,
was slivered. No one in the vicinity
knew the names If the persons in the
car. An effort is being made to ap-
prehend the parties who performed
the act of malicious mischief.

Gregg Will Pitch in The Southwest
Fortune has again smiled on Guy
Gregg, baseball magnate (retired }
and string bean wriggler, of Postvill ,
Iowa.
Gregg Is now steaming along
towards Calexico. Calf, close to the
Mexican border, to pitch winter base
ball for the Calexico team. He is to
work about three months at a lucra-
tive salary and, of course, had his
transportation paid one way. But
here's the big surprise-Gregg was
given preference over Big Tom
Hughes, the Washington pitcher. who
was angling for the same job.
The clubs which compose the win
ter league in which Calexico has a
berth are made up of players from
the majors and Pacific Coast leagues.
Two games are played each week and
each club carries two pitchers.
Besides receiving handsome sal
airy. grand trip and the opportuni-
ty to escape the snow and ice of win
ter, Gregg has also been offered a
job at Calexico in which he can MAKE
money on the SIDE II he so desires. To
be exact, the Iowa product will clean
up about 1926 q month while he Is IN
the southland.
