The truth is that the good, moral
people who so to these moving picture
shows, and very often bring their
children with them, would not tolerate
the exhibitions of obscene or immoral
pictures there. A place in which such
pictures were exhibited would soon be
without sufficient patrons to support
it. At all events, the criminal law IL
ample to prevent the exhibition OF
such pictures. 1 have asked these

ASSIMILATING THE INDIAN

According to a special report on
the Indian population of the United
States and Alaska soon to be issued
by the bureau Of the census, there
were 265,6S3 Indians in this country
In 1910, representing an increase of
I,43O, or seven per cent, over the
number reported in 1890, when the
bureau made its first enumeration Of
the race.
The report, however, will show Il
much lower rate of growth tor the
Indian population than for the white,
an increasing admixture of white
blood, decreasing vitality of full
blooded Indians, indicating tend
eLcy to disappear altogether; increas-
ing attendance at school and decreas-
ing illiteracy an increase in the per
centage of the self-supporting and
finally decrease in the number of

A Christmas Custom That Should
BE Revived.

"Old, very old in England" we
read in the December issue of the
Woman's Home Companion, lis the
custom of setting lighted candles in
the windows on Christmas Eve to
give holiday greeting to the passer-
by, but little use has been made of
this charming idea in our country.
Baltimore, however, has had a city
wide lighting of candles which was
so successful that it is repeated ev-
cry year.
Weeks before Christmas, when
plans were being made for the Com
munity Tree, it was suggested that
each household set lighted candles in
the parlor windows to wish Merry
Christmas" to their fellow towns
people, not even the most enthusiast
tic supporter of the Candle Greeting
expected TO see half the number of
windows that were SO lighted when
CHRISTMAS Eve came
Scarcely city block in any sec
ton of the city was without at least
one illumination, and 1t was not
rare to see every house in row
frightened by this evidence of peace
on earth, good will to men, 1t
warmed the very cookies of ones
heart to walk through street after
street with these silent Christmas
greetings everywhere, and no one
who has gone through such expert
ence could ever want to know anoth-
er Christmas Eve without them"

IOWA GOLD FISH.


But few people know that E. X
Bruce has been growing gold fish
near Thornburg in Keokuk county
for thirty-two years and he has a
business worldwide. A series of
ponds afford breeding places for a
number of different varieties of
beautiful fish. Over 100000 are
sold every year. Mr.. Bruce is an
expert in fish culture and he is get
ting rich furnishing gold fish to the
markets of the world for ornament
al purposes only. Away back in
1912 E. K. Bruce, Sr., a son of Rob
ert Bruce, president of Western Uni
versity in Pennsylvania, began the
propagation of gold fish at Pitts
burg. In 1877 he came to Iowa and
located near the little town of Thorn
burg where he started III the BUSH
