BUY-AT-HOME SOCIETIES.
CBurlington Gazette.l

Some of the society women Of St
Louis have organized a "Buy-at-
Home" society. Thirty Of the most
prominent women in the city met at
the home Of one OF their number and
formed an organization for the purpose
OF buying all their goods in st. Louis.
1t is carefully explained that this does
not mean the goods have to be made
in st. Louis, but sold there. In other
words, the importer and merchant en-
terprising enough to fill his shelves
with goods Is to be rewarded by the
patronage of the ladies. The merchants
of the city have taken the matter up
and are lending every reimbursement
to the formation of the new organiza-
ton.
Movements OF this kind spring up
at different times in all parts OF the
country, but they are never very eff
fective. The truth is that the average
woman. like the average man, is q
sharp buyer and will buy wherever the
goods are advertised most and where
they are sure of quality and price. Adj
vertising is, after all, the great mag
net which decides the tide Of retail
trade. Expedients like the above are
more or less superficial and do not
have the desired effect.

Mar. in Wall Street,

Wall street is reported to be tho
most militant part of the country. It
wants war. We are not informed that
the street wants to go to war. It wants
to have 1t. Emotionally 1t would bo
relieved by the thought that a few
hundred thousand American huskies
were training for duty in Flanders.
The street Is not without physical
courage, but It does not raise Its brok-
ers to be soldiers. They might inter-
pose their bodies to prevent q dollar
from being shot. but an 1nutilitarian
emotion must not be expected Of them.
They are materialists, hardy, coura--
geous materialists, but not heroes who
accept hazards for the fun of 1t, the
altruism OF 1t, or the spirituality Of It.
War not only exposes q self-selected
band. In tho case OF the United States,
to danger, but 1t places hazard upon
money. Wall street, considering its
physical immunity. might undef ordi-
nary conditions shrink from martial
fury for the sake Of the dollar, and the
plea Of Hush. hush" might be at once
beseeching and plaintive.
What, then, can have happened In
the street that 1t Is willing not only to
fight to the last westerner but to In
volve its fortunes In the crash? Can It
be that the last dollar has rolled to
other parts and that the windows Of
the street open upon hell that war
could not make in a thousand years?
War? What Is war to this?-Chicago
Tribune.

THERE SHOULD BE A BETTER WAY.

Sioux City is to round up all vagrant
dope fiends and drive them out OF the
city
Where? The dope fiend with his un-
conquerable craving and the edict
against drug sales is 20 be driven
from pillar to post. Where, for what
and with what result?
To die under culvert or in a ditch,
to go insane and perhaps STAY the in
nocent, to suffer as the tortur ed in hell
suffer, leprous crew to be driven from
human habitations and given over to
the devils Of unstrung nerves and the
horrors Of the dope fiend deprived of
his mainstay?
Ask the doctors and the rentists and
all who use narcotics legitima tely.
Hear the story Of the procession that
slips in and out of their offices, beg
ging, threatening, groveling for a por-
ton OF the drug. 1t is pitiful story
Hardened by contact the physician can
scarcely tell it with an even voice
| There are hundreds Of those drug
habitues living in hell everywhere.
1t isn't enough to send a policeman
with club to drive these people away.
1t is idle to argue that they are their
own enemies and that their vicious
habits have brought them to this pass.
That argument fails in the face of un-
questioned agony Of mind and body.
Some plan should be made and put
into operation whereby those "fends"
can have treatment. Aside from the
kindly and christian point Of view
which would plead for their relief they
are dangerous, Immediately and poten-
TALLY dangerous. The sodden drug
fiend is likely to do anything not short
of murder to obtain the drug. AS a
matter of public safety II not as a
charity these men should be under re-
straint and treatment
1t is a poor system that Of ours which
drives on from one town to another
that interminable caravan Of tramps
and thugs and unfortunates and pam
handlers. There ought to be a better
way. There is a better way.

thrasher give very definite and stAru-

the whistling of Q human being. This
occurred about sixteen years ago, on
the blum at the head OF Fourth avenue.
In Clinton. The whistle was q clear.

about five or six notes. The writer

for one day the writer was listening to
a brown thrasher about twenty feet
off, and in the midst of his medley Of
notes and calls. came floating out that
whistled bar. There never was q devia-
ton of a note in 1t, from one rendering

a human whistle, and we never heard
anything remotely like 1t In brown
thrasher before or since that season.
The brown thrasher, by the way. has
very definite part in the arrival of

SALIVARY OTTUMWA.
TOttumwa Review.1

Has Ottumwa an organization which
has for it's purpose a regular nightly
spitfest indulgence? One might safely
surmise that something of this charac-
ter really is, for the entertainment Of
the tobacco chewer and some one who
do not chew but disgust none the less
with a continual spit, spit, spit, here
and there and especially at the foot Of
downtown stairways and at bank cor
ners, where always may be found in
the sultry summer evening ridged
line OF excretion by the mouth. 1t Is
one Of the mouth diseases that breaks
out with renewed and increased viru-
lence in the early summer months. The
mighty spitfests are noted in all the
side places adjacent to the pathway OF
the pedestrian, often II a sudden at
tack grips the glands Of the juice orr
flee. then spatter goes the spat in big
splotches. whittier it may, regardless
of the ladies who in very self de
Tense now find it necessary to wear
their street skirt not less than one full
inch above the shoe top, easily six
inches from the arched instep Of the
low oxford. But they wade it thru in
Ottumwa and, therefore, do little COM
planning when few layers of clean
mud spread over the windows Of the
Key West and Durham products.

disaster viewed from the outlook OF
those defeated. AS the twig ia bent the
trees inclined. The major and Uncle
Jake were not only bent but twisted in
those old days.
Now as to that automobile
money: we are picking it off the
cornstalks here in Iowa, digging 1t out
with the potatoes, hauling 1t back
from the stock yards in the wagons
that carried the fat hogs and driving it
along the road with the carloads Of
finished cattle we ship day by day.
Most Of it is growing right out OF an
inexhaustible soil, some Of it Is being
shaved and hammered and melted and
cooled in our factories. A lot OF 1t Is
going to waste in our unsprayed or
chards. In the final analysis 1t Is
question of hard work and good juds-
ment. 1t is all a plain business prop
osition. Nobody asks a dollar what
party 1t belongs to. Hard cash Is as
nearly non partisan as anything in this
contentious old world. Cases have
even been known where democratic
farmer got more corn to the acre than
his republican neighbor even in Iowa.
And without any special interfention
Of providence at that.
Both Uncle Jake and Major Rathbun
are right. The money was made before
and after. More of it is in the making.
The real reason that Iowa is spending
money for autos isn't partisan It's be-
cause Iowa has the coin to spare, be-
cause her farmers and her business
men are fairly competent set and
more than any other one thing because
the wayfaring man tho almost a fool
couldn't help doing we'll in Iowa if he
plugged in and worked full time.
But doesn't it beat the band the way
we Iowa folks are buying automobiles
this season? No matter how we got
the cash, doesn't it simply beat the
band?

Topics of the Times

Italy is trying hard to convince her
self that the water is fine.
Ordered that ton of coal that you
were certain you wouldn't need?
Anyhow Iowa always has long,
warm, beautiful fall.
If Winter is lingering in the lap OF
Spring let's hope he is on his last lap.
Incidentally Won might swat few
flies.
There's comfort in the thought that
the rain that spells the carnival crowd
helps the pastures.
Our factories are turning out 10000
rifles a day. That's little over $780,
coo year and that's also more rifles
than the United States ought to use
in war for the next 600 years.

OF course the women will spend
some state money for the children
when they come to full citizenship. But
it will take them several sessions to

spent for pigs.
The comment on the high school

war stuff. Come come, are we to suf-
fer an ancient custom to fall into in
nocuous desuetude just because Of a
little excitement over wholesale killing

GETTING OUT OF THEIR MUD.

While Iowa people put up with mud
for their roads, here is what people are
doing In the states in which road
taxes are anticipated with bond is

close that five miles of brick highway
in Elkhart, Ind, have been put under
way.
In Oregon the preliminaries Of a
Sl.250 bond issue have been COM
pleted for Multnomah county and the
money is ready for the surfacing of
seventy miles Of rural highway.
Out in California the people are so
well pleased with their county bond
issues and the roads they are build
ing with $4,000 900 Of state bonds that
a bill is now before the legislature for
another state bond issue Of $4,000, GEO.
1t will probably go the way of the
New York experience where hard sur
faced roads built with one state bond
issue of s5ooOo,ooo caused New York
people to vote another for $4,000, 900
by two to one majority.
Down in Texas, Grayson county, is at
work putting hard surface on 225

money, while s665,Ooo Of road bonds are
for sale at Mckinney and the people
in and around Terrell have voted
100000 road bonds in a special road
district. Texas with its cheap lands,
but under forty-year bonds and special
districts is building hard surfaced
roads as fast as any state in the
union.
