Need Double Force.

New York, with only SO per cent
more registrations than we, have in
Iowa, has 129 clerks in the auto de-
partment. In Iowa We are allowed
seven regular employees for this work.
Enough extra help is allowed to equal,
in the aggregate, three or four extra
people for the entire year. The force
we now have should be doubled in
number, and it would require about
this many additional clerks to keep
the work up as it should be. 1 want
the people to know that it stthrough
no fault OF this department that ap-
plicants have to wait SO long to re-
ceive their number plates after send
ing in their money and applications
therefor.
You refer to receipting for money
sent. To do so would require nearly
as much time as to examine the ap-
plication itself, so that, out Of neces-
sity. we are compelled to take these
applications UP in their regular or
der--that is, each days mail by itself
and we are now three weeks in ar
rears."

GREENE COUNTY VOTES BONDS
Authorizes the Issue Of 100000 in
Bonds for the Construction Of
New Court House.

Jefferson, May 20-Ry sweeping
majority OF two to one, the voters OF
Greene county indorsed the new court
house proposition at the special cleo
tion held yesterday, voting In favor
of bond issue of $15O.000.
The vote of approval was far more
decisive than anyone had anticipated,
the country precincts. with one or two
exceptions, coming forward with ma
jorities of from two ozone, up to nine
to one in favor of the new building.
The eight townships which contain no
towns-Willow. Greenbrier, kendrick,
Cedar, Grant, Dawson, Jackson and
Hardin-voted 256 for and 152 against.
Six of them We're for it and two We're
against. Hardin carried the banner
in the country vote by giving A for
to 5 against; while Cedar was strong
est in opposition with only seven votes
for and 46 against.
Among the townships containing
towns, Bristol was foremost in sup
port of the proposition with vote OF
50 for and II against. while Junction
No. 2 came second with &c for and II
against. Grand Junction raWe the
heaviest adverse majority-54 for and
l55 against-due, it is believed, to the
fact that they have just built new
$4,000 school building and the tax
question entered in rs a controlling
factor. The same situation applies
to Scranton and Churdan, where there
We're majorities against, but not near
ly SO decisive as in Grand Junction.

ever brought to any public question.

lie had been employed by Mr.. Brace
to clear a piece Of land and was us
ing dynamite to clear the stumps. He
had set three charges and after light
ing the last charge noticed bar
standing up against stump where
he had his first charge. Thinking
the bar might strike him when the ex-
plosion occurred he went to remove
it, but had scarcely reached 1t when
the charge went off, closely followed
by second one nearby. Young Cham
bers was thus caught in the very midst
OF an inferno. Several injuries were
made about his face and arms by
pieces of wood from the stump and
both ears required several stitches.
An artery was severed in his forearm
causing the loss of much blood before
medical aid could be secured Al
though the injuries are quite serious
the young man is rapidly recovering
and will be able to be about in a few
days.

Mayo county, Ireland. in 1916, coming
to America with her parents in child
hood locating in Girardsville, Penn,
where she grew to womanhood and
was married to Patrick Houston in
1864. Mr.. and Mrs. Houston came to
Dunlap in 1878, Mr.. Houston being
employed by the Northwestern, but
a few years later they decided to
move onto farm in order to give
their SONS better chance of advance
ment. They were still residing on the

aged husband, five sons, James j., Ed
ward W.. living on farms Of their own

will be organized by the farmers and
business men and the days run will
include stops at some of the best farms

turers will give talks on farm animals,
crops. soils and buildings. The women

good motto for this tour. 1t is quite
customary for residents of one county
to talk about the fine live stock and
other agricultural achievements of
some other section of the state and
overlook the good things within few
miles Of them, merely because they do
not know about them. This tour gives
the farmers excellent opportunity to
study local conditions.

THE eAccALAuREA1E SERMON
Rev. Boyd, Of N. E. Church, breaches
Excellent Sermon-Gtee Club
Leads in Song Service.

On Sunday evening one Of the larg-
cst congregations ever present on a
occasion of this kind was gathered at
the Methodist church to take part in
the baccalaureate services of the
Denison high school. The church
looked very pretty decorated with
bridal wreath and snowballs. Miss
Hazel Laub played beautiful organ
solo as the members of the class of
1915, followed by the faculty of the
high school, took their places directly
in front of the pulpit The services
were opened by the singing of the
hymn Abide With Me-" followed by
prayer by Rev. J. A. Lemke, pastor of
the German Methodist church. The
choir, made up of nigh school voices,
very beautifully rendered 1.-The Radi-
ant Morn" under the direction OF Miss
Beatrice Laily, after which very fine
baccalaureate sermon was delivered
r. church.
After few words of hearty COM
,nendatiCn and congratulation to the
members Of the graduating class, Rev.
Boyd, preached most impressive SER
mon from the text, Gold and silver
have none; but such as | have, give
| unto thee" The sermon did not
present methods of gaining material
success in life or attaining position,
but was plea for the acceptance OF
Jesus Christ and His religion as the
source of the greatest happiness and
service.
The services were closed by the
hymn, Lead, Kindly Light" followed
by the benediction pronounced by Rev.
j. A. Lemke.

Floor Coverings from American Looms

"nlspent money is double loss. -
Proverb.
When buying carpets only invest in
that that you are sure Will give YOU the
best service. The choice of floor cover
ing presents an interesting problem for
every room in the house needs a diff
ferent treatment from the front door
mat to the inoleum IN the kitchen. The
selection of each floor covering needs
your particular consideration.
In buying Oriental rugs, unless one
is thoroughly familiar with the subject,
one must depend upon another's word
as 20 the genuineness and value Of the
rug. But when an american made -
rug is purchased, glance at the max
er's name is sufficient, for it tells in
stantly whether the rug is first In quail
ity and workmanship, and one Is salts
fed that the trademark bears a guar
antee Of satisfaction and that the mer-
ehandise VII prove 20 be as represented.
The care bestowed upon the selection
Of the rugs includes that the rug must
be such that the pictures, furnishings,
and draperies VIII show of 20 the best
Of their ability The edge of the rugs
should be placed parallel with the edge
Of the floor. The DAYS are bygone when
II was thought that rugs placed in odd
Or angular positions, thrown carelessly

Mating may be looked upon as a de-
scendant of the rush carpets. Mating
is cool looking for summer and can be
had in splendid colors.
There is a marked inclination for will
low grass rugs for the summer use.
These rugs are manufactured from a
strong natural grass which holds its
smooth durable finish until it is worn
out
Rag rugs made of new cretonne come
in many new designs and shapes and are
especially adapted for the nursery and
bedroom.
A new reversible bath rug which viii
not "kick up" is a new idea in wash
able rugs.
Linoleum has graduated from the
kitchen and bathroom use 10 many other
uses. Some in tile patterns have the
effect of tile when used on the porch,
or in the hall Linoleum is sanitary
and easily washed and new inlaid eff
fects are constantly being brought
forth
For porch use Crex rugs come in new
patterns One large rug is better for
the porch than two small ones. Crex
rugs are not alone confined to porch,
but are suitable for use in nearly every
room in the house if the rooms are
furnished accordingly.

upon the floor, gave a coy effect, but
that conception no longer holds good.
Plain rugs in putty or soft grayish
green's may have one or two Oriental
rugs placed on them in such way as
TO conform 20 the character of the room,
but not thrown down any which way.
There is a strong tendency for car
peting made up by the yard and used
to cover nearly all the floor space.
Black rugs, black and gray rugs, and
rugs banded with black are still bidders
for popularity. Patterns are richer in
color, but small designs are favored that
blend so well into the general effect as
not to call special attention 10 them
selves.
We credit Europe with tie origin and
development of all true art, but In real
ity the Orient is the Mother OF Art.
Oriental rugs are works of masters
they are genius materialized. The
charm Of a rug lies not only In its
artistic value but il is substantial
floor covering.
Rugs from the Orient take Us back
centuries in the details worked into
them. American designers Of floor COW
erings have proved worthy successors
10 those who have inspired them. And
the American mills have accurately re-
produced the valued antique coverings

and endowed them with the rich colors,
durability and texture known formerly
only to Oriental rugs.
A Wilton rug in Oriental pattern
shows many colOrs, and like the orig
inal from which it is copied, the colors
sparkle like so many jewels, yet the
effect is subdued. A heavy-pile Wilton
rug, which is an exact duplicate of an
Indian rug, is not only valued for its
artistic merit but for its service giving
qualities. This rug like the original
may be called a mosaic in wool 4"
For q room with a gray color scheme,
there is a rug Of messy silver gray
bordered IN blue and black TO give it
character. Wilton rugs come in plain
or period effects Rugs can be woven
to order to match any color scheme in
any size.
Administer coverings are famed for
their servieeability and come in many
new attractive patterns.
Stair carpets should be of one color.
An extra yard should be bought so that
the tread can be changed when it be-
gins TO show wear.
Carpets were brought TO England in
the thirteenth century between the
reigns Of Henry V and Henry VII
Then the well-to-do began to use ear
