REPEAL OF THE MULCT LAW.
Reported That Iowa Liquor Men
Will Ask For an Injunction.

Des Moines, Dec. 11.-Liquor men
in the state are preparing to ask for
an injunction to restrain the state
from putting into effect the repeal OF
the mulct law according to informa-
ton which has reached the office OF
the attorney general. 1t is probable
that such a case will be brought in
Davenport or Clinton.
A. U. Coates, president of the Iowa
Constitutional Prohibitory Amend

torney general yesterday to confer
with him on the question. Mr.. Coates
had letter from a member OF the
association in which the member
urged that in view of the fact that
the liquor element was likely to
bring action in some court friendly
to their interests, that the attorney
general start test case himself be-

THE NATIONAL CONVENTIONS
Arrangements Are Now Being Made
For Next Summers Political
Conventions.

1t has been said that God must
have a sense of humor, or he never
would have made monkey" One
might similarly argue that the Lord
must smile as he watches the incon-
gruous eccentricities tolerated by
the American people.
Arrangements are now being made
for next summers national political
conventions. The location will prob
ably be decided on the basis of the
most favorable offers made by ho-
tells and others for accommodation of
delegates. The matter of getting a
really favorable meeting place for a
historic deliberative body will no
doubt be disregarded this year as in
the past.
These quadrenniel gatherings are
the most important business and DO
litical assemblages in the country.
On the wisdom there displayed the
prosperity and welfare of the Unit
ed States depend. They should be
conducted so as to secure quiet de-
liberation and interchange Of
thought.
Instead of that, these conven-
lions always are held in big halls.
where an orator needs leather lungs
to make himself heard. A yelling
mob is permitted to be present. The
attempt is tolerated to stampede the
convention by the length of time by
which the shouters can yell for their
candidate. AS the loudest and most
persistent howlers can be hired for
20 cents an hour, this is no measure
of the fitness or even the popularity
of candidate.
The conventions ought to be held
in room sufficient only for the dele
gates and alternates, with liberal
room for newspaper reporters. A
great meeting of business, statecraft,
and national policy should not be
turned into bear garden. But the
custom is firmly imbedded in our
political habits, and can't be over
turned.
The real deliberations take place
in hotel lobbies. The floor debate is
stage play. But there are crisis
moments, when the voice of the lead
ers should be heard in quiet and Sc
clusion by every delegate.

EARLY RISING.
And Daylight Saving. New Hours for
Work, Play and Sleep.
aroused.

Millions of people in Europe today
have adopted new hours for work,
play, and sleep. On account of the
menace of Zeppelin raids, and the
necessity of darkening streets, they
go to bed early and are up CORE
spondingly soon in the morning. The
new schedule of time is popular and
may prove permanent after the war.
The idea of daylight saving, by
setting ahead the clocks, or other
plan to conform more nearly to the
hours of the sun, has been much
discussed in this country. There is
something tonic about the rays of the
sun. The wide prevalence of eye
troubles is due largely to artificial
light. The fresh airs of morning
have their own charm, and they in
cite to vigorous effort.
Take a date when the sun is rising
at a. m. and setting at $3.50 p. m.
The man who lies in bed until seven
O'Clock is missing at least an hour
and a half of daylight. Looking at it
from the economical viewpoint, he
is burning electricity, oil, or gas, for
an hour and a half more at night,
than would be necessary were he t.
get up at $3.50 and go to bed CORE
spondingly early. This is quite an
item in running house. If he has
a store or a factory, his bill for
lights at the end of the day is large
ly needless.
But prudential considerations like
these are lost on the majority of peo-
pie. Lighted streets, stores, restaur-
ants, and places of amusement of
city life, set many persons blood a.
tingling and provoke good cheer. The
idea of sitting up late nights after
other folks have gone to bed sug-
gests a jolly bohemianism. Young
persons looking for shady corners are
not the only ones who feel that way.
To those of romantic disposition,
the hours of darkness have a peculiar
charm, while daylight seems prosaic
The philosophers may talk all they
want to, but between the sentimen-
talists, the sports, and the young
folks, daylight saving and early ris-
ing are unpopular causes. The SEN
sible Standard time idea was carried
through against much opposition, by
the united action of the railroads
There is no such unified interest to
promote early rising and daylight
saving.

IOWA HANDWRITING EXCELS.
Tests of $4,000 Grade Children
Show Them to be Speedier Than
Average Elsewhere.

| Iowa children write as we'll as the
children of any other state, and with
the exception of the eighth grade
children, they have more than aver
age speed.
This is one of the conclusions Err
nest ]. Ashbaugh, chief of the bureau
of educational service of the extern
sion Division of the State University
of Iowa, has reached, after study ex-
tending over year and taking into
account $4,000 different samples OF
children's handwriting.
Mr.. Ashbaugh set out to determine
how well Iowa school children write
whether they improve their writing
as they progress through the grades
how children in the country small
towns and the cities compare In
their skill, how Iowa children COM
pare with those of other states, and
whether the quality of writing of the
average eighth grade child is suffi-
Gent to satisfy the ordinary demands
of every day life outside the schools.
In 10 cities and towns and in
rural schools of IA counties the test
consisting of two minutes Of writing
single sentence, was given and the
papers forwarded to the university.
Here they have been judged, and the
results tabulated. Within the next
week bulletin giving in detail the
data obtained will be published by
the extension division.
A wide variance in speed and
quality of writing of students was
discovered. For example, the papers
showed that speed ranges all the way
from 16 letters a minute to 1l6. The
child with the abnormal speed,
therefore, will finish a written com
position in about one-tenth the time
that the slow writer, who may be in
the same class with him, will finish
it.
The tests convinced Mr.. Ashbaugh
that Iowa children better their writ
ing as they advance through the
grades, that the quality of writing
in rural schools, town schools, and
city schools is approximately the
same, that Iowa children are, on the
average, speedier writer's than chill
dren of like grade elsewhere in the
United States and keep up the quail
ity as well, and that the quality Of
writing of the eighth grade child is
sufficient to satisfy the ordinary de-
mands of every day life outside the
school.

BODY MANGLED BY HOGS.
Ole A. Tonga, of Near NOrthwood,
Meets Horrible Death by Being
Eaten by Hogs.

Northwood, Dec. 13.-Ole A.
Tonga a prominent farmer living
west of town, met his death in hor-
rible manner and just what suffer-
ing he went thru will never be known
Mr.. Tonga was found about 10 o.
clock by members of his family in
the hog pen on the premises, his
body badly mutilated by the hogs.
Mr.. Tonga had told his family that
after feeding the hogs he expected
to go to the neighbors for a few
hours visit and nothing was thought
of his absence during the early hours
Of the evening but later upon his
failure to arrive at home an inves-
tigation was started which ended in
a gruesome sight. 1t is thought the
gentlemen, who is in his seventies,
had gone to the hog pen to do the
feeding and while there was taken
with stroke of paralysis having
suffered his first stroke at some pre-
vious time. After falling in an un-
conscious condition, the animals in
the pen had attacked Mr.. Tongas
body and cut up the flesh in several
places.
When discovered it is thought he
had been dead for at least two
hours.

A POCKETFUL OF NICKELS
Man Scattered Them Among 8
Crowd of Youngsters.

Much ado was made of a Mime
apolis man who, with a pocketful
of nickels, scattered them among
a crowd of youngsters. Some
thought he was crazy, for the aver
age man who has a pocketful of
lnickels, generally hangs onto them
in his effort to gather still more.
But not so with this fellow. He
let go of his nickels to have fun. He
went out to the amusement park or
to the Fairgrounds where little
children gather. He watched around
the edges till he saw some poor,
forlorn looking little kid-a fellow
who looked as though he would APP
preciate toy, balloon, a ride in
the foreground, or a stick of
gum, and then he would edge up to
the little fellow, and slip a nickel
into his hand, and then go on his
way.
He repeated the process for a
time, looking for the little fellow
whom he thought would most ap-
preciate his nickel Finally he
tossed the remaining nickels among
a crowd of happy youngsters, and
had his fun watching them scram-
bic for them. 1t didn't cost him
near as much as one would suppose
A nickel will go long way in MAX
ing kid happy, and a pocketful OF
nickels got this man the cheapest
fun he had enjoyed in years. The
man used to have a little chap of
his own-but he was laid away I'M
der little mound of flowers, He
hasn't much need of the nickels and
now he is devoting himself to hav-
ing all the fun with his surplus
nickels that he can possibly find.
The average man wants to do
what he can, as he passes along, to
bring happiness into the lives of
others. But there are so many peo-
pie who do not know how. There
are persons who have the time and
the money, but who have not learn
ed how TO get the most out of life.
They delay the having of their fun
until it is too late. They keep pill
ing up their money until some day
they are brought to a realization
that the money is going to do them
no good unless they get rid of it.
Some of these men build libraries,
which is a good thing; others give
their money to schools and colleges,
and that, of course, is splendid. Ev-
cry dollar that man gives away, ic
he gives cheerfully, adds to the sum
total of his happiness; but we have
a little doubt if those who give Ii
ibraries and endow colleges really
get as much personal satisfa ction
out of life as does this Minneapolis
man who gets rid now and then CT
a pocketful of nickels to the kid
dies.
