Jail and almshouse yesterday, re-
turned to the court and concluded its
business, that OF preparing their re-

The report follows.
We. the Grand Jury of Kent coun-
ty for the year 1915. made the fol-
lowing report to the court at the close
Of the October term:
In all cases we have been diligent
and careful in our actions. One hum
dred and thirty-seven bills have been
presented. 12S of them We found true
bills. eight were ignored and one
withdrawn.
The location OF our room has been
the means Of calling attention to the
unsanitary and filthy condition OF the
closets adjoining.
We have visited and find many i'm
movements have been made. Inc
sanitary condition which perhaps is
the most important, we found good.
We recommend that the prisoners
should be allowed to work in Kent
count at the discretion OF the sheriff
The visit 10 the Ken- Count Aims
house was made in automobiles irr--
nished by the members of the jury and
we commend the overseer, Frank Ma
lone and matron, his wife on ther
abilit to care for visitors.
So far as possible, the buildings
and stock were inspected and found
in good condition. The inmates aum-
I bering 3S white and q colored,
seemed to be happy and contelted so
Tar as possible for them to be, where
/ they OF necessity we're deprived OF
home and its comforts.
We recommend that IL would be
better business for Kent count to
sell all the land except perhaps 20
acres, remove the Indebtedness, and
concentrate the effort 10 care for the
poor of the count on the poor instead
of trying to farm land. This farm
is one long stretch of land. perhaps
one and one-half miles and contains
327 acres.

Greater DEMAND Than
EVER FOR MILK SUPPLY

While there Is scarcity Of milk,
there is no prospect OF milk famine
at this time, according TO Charles II.
Burris, recording secretary Of the Re
tail Milk Dealers Association. "The
Wholesale price is not a consideration" e"
says Mr.. Burris," as we buy our milk
by contract. yearly. Milk Is not as
scarce now as It was at this time last
year, but the demand is much greater,
owing to the rapid growth of our city,
as an era of prosperity we are enjoy
ing. All dealers of any prominence re-
port that they are doing more business
than ever before, and as milk is al
ways scarce at this time of the year
it actually makes transient trade hard

verdict has been emphatically in
favor Of fair play.
There is less clamor for indiscrimi-

hope that honestly conducted enter

carry on their legitimate functions
without fear of political or legal har-

The elements Of prosperity are at

Mulct Law Repealed.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Governor
Clarke yesterday signed the bill re-
pealing the Martin liquor tax, COM
monty known as the "mulct' law. He
could not very well do otherwise in
view of the heavy majorities given the
repeal bin in both houses of the legis-
lature and the flood of kilograms and
letters that poured in UPON him from
all over the state. Whatever may
have been the governors convictions
as to the wisdom of repeal, he could
not well ignore the overwhelming de-
mand of the people. Majorities rule:
especially when very pronounced, as
in this instance.
1t is to be wished that repeal will
prove to have been a wise step and IN
the interest of temperance and the
public welfare. There are lifelong
prohibitionists who fear the liquor
traffic will be uncomfortable in tho
period after January ], next, when the
repeal takes effect and preceding TIL,
time the prohibitory amendment, If
adopted, becomes effective. The mulct
law has been very efficient weapon
of regulation and gradual extinction
OF the saloon business. II is claimed
for it that in it Iowa has the most eff
fective measure of any state in the
union To throw it away before the
amendment is adopted is not only TAX
ing chances on the fate of the amend
ment. but leaving an interregnum of
possible unrestrained liquor traffic is
questionable policy.
The situation is one that demands
the very careful consideration OF the
legislature.

TRUTH ABOUT ADVERTISING.

The Strand Magazine. answering
the question, who Pays the Cost OF
Advertising?" uses q quotation from
the "reminiscences Of the late James
J. Barratt:
Here is the real truth OF the mat
ter. Money wisely spent in advertis-
ing increases sales and profits to such
an extent that sufficient capital is
provide for the operation Of economies
naturally resulting from buying and
manufacturing in larger quantities.
The bigger volume of trade the cheap
er is the relative production. In fact,
as all leading advertisers know, pro-
duction Is cheapened in a much
greater degree by advertising than is
represented by the money spent n
advertising. We're it otherwise there
would be no use in advertising.
Much as we advertisers love thu
newspapers, to whose revenues we
contribute SO handsomely, we only
perform this service because We get
more out of the publicity they give us
than they get out of us-with occa-
sional exceptions, perhaps, which are
soon rectified.'
