Nevada, Nov. 25.-Two of the rural
routes out of the Nevada postoffices
are to be heightened to approximately
thirty miles, effective on Dec. /, accord
ing to an order received by Postmaster
Bricker yesterday. Route No. 2, which
has been twenty-six miles in length,
will add four miles, which is taken from
Route No. 1, out of Roland, and to
Route No. 8. which has been but 20.5
miles, will be added nine miles, eight OF
which will be taken from Route No. 2
out of Colo. This will. of course, ne
cessitate a rcadjustment of the Colo
routes.
Over at Ames one route is to be dis
continued and the territory divided up
among the, others. SO far as is practical.
there being five routes out of Ames at
this time. One route is to be discon-
tinued out of Maxwell and Cambridge
also. There is small amount of dissat'
isfaction being heard regarding the
hardship worked upon the patrons by
service as well as by the
carriers because of the heightened
routes since the changes have been
announced.

Montour, Nov. 25.-Burglars operated
extensively in Montour during last
night three business houses being en-
tered and cash and other articles be-
ing taken from each place. The stores
entered were II. Avery's meat market,
Bridges hardware, Millard's depart
ment store and the Stayskal drug
Istore.
The same method was adopted IN
gaining entrance. Bricks were thrown
thru glass doors, enabling the crooks
to either crawl thru the opening or
spring the locks. At the Avery market
the cash register was carried away
and small amount of cash was Sc
cured The safe was broken open and
some money was secured therefrom.
From the Bridges market 81 was taken,
iwhile from the Willard establishment
less than 81 was procured. and a small
amount was taken from the Stayskal
drug store, with a quantity of jew
elry.
Sheriff Peterman was summoned this
morning when the burglaries were dis
Powered and an investigation is under
way. 1t is surmised that the thefts
were committed by the same men who
robbed the Clock store at Geneva on
Tuesday night. as the methods of en-
trance We're the same and the Geneva
robbers are known to have purchased
tickets for Marshalltown, from which
place this town could be reached easily.

Good For Small Towns.
The actual value Of the experiment
can not be estimated when 1t Is shown
that not one small city or town IN
thousands are properly protected from
fire. In event the Davenport scheme is
successful, towns of from 1000 to 5000
population may have adequate fre
protection at small cost. A one man
department can be installed In any
community that will give just as good
service as large city departments, ana
at one-fourth the cost of horse drawn
apparatus.
In cities having a larger population
it is pointed out that the light cars
can be installed and maintained at
much less cost than the present horse
drawn apparatus, while In cities the
size of Davenport and larger, real
economy may be practiced by the
motorization of the entire department.
In number Of large cities. notably
New York, Chicago and San Francisco
the light cars have become almost the
standard car for the use of battalion

oDeCldl u
Davenport, Nov. %. - The problem
of adequate fire protection for small
cities, towns and villages seems to
have been solved by Davenport. That
city has ceased to purchase heavy and
expensive fire fighting apparatus anu
has invested in mosquito fleet
The mosquito fleet is composed of
hose wagon bodies mounted upon light
auto chassis, and in spite of the fun
poked at the city council since the
little cars were ordered a few days
the fire department Of the city are
certain the experiment will be sue
cessful.
Credit for the purchase must be
given to an alderman who failed to see
any great economy in the proposed
purchase of several new trucks for
the fire department at an average cost
of So, 500. of which % per cent is said
to be municipal selling expense" This
II embe. of the council was gradually
imbued with the idea that a light car,
purchased cheaply, would probably
stand the work required just as well
as the heavier machines. and began
an. investigation Of prices and small
equipment of this sort.
Having been the driver of a small
car for some time, he naturally began
his investigation with this machine.
He was quoted a price of $3.50 for each
car, which included all equipment with
the exception of ladders. lanterns and
a I'll ks~v,
also showed that when fully equipped,
the car would weigh approximately
1900 pounds, sufficiently heavy, ac-
cording to drivers, to hold the road
at any speed. Exclusive of hose, extra
nozzles and other equipment the car
with the body will weigh about 1880
pounds.
Scheme Given Approval.
With all the plans, specifications
and prices, the alderman who fathered
the project appeared before the fire
committee of the city council and pre-
sented the scheme. His enthusiasm
met with ready response from the
other members of the committee and
upon the recommendation Of the COM
mittee the purchase of several ma
chimes was authorized.
1t is predicted by the fire COMMITTEES
of the council that within six months
providing the mosquito feet" expert
ment proves sucessful-these cars will
supplant all the horse drawn .appara-
tus in the city. Already the council
is debating the advisability Of the pur-
chase Of half dozen more cars OF
similar type, members declaring thai
