Henry Ford Patriot
Admission l0c to All

That man Henry Ford seems to be
man of parts About once a week
| he does or says something which land,
him in the news columns in purely
legitimate way. It's all good advertis-
ing, but its all good, horse sense too
and the nation doesn't care how much
| advertising there is in it as long as it
has the real American ring and spells
real thought for the good of the coun-
try and its commercial future. For
instance:
LAS for the manufacture of cars for
war purposes all | can say is that |
don't want any of the war supply
money. l will make no war munitions
for any country except the United
States. l would defend the United
States the same as would build d
we will have to defend our country.
We are filling an order to supply the
roof over my house: but don't think
British government with $4,000 am
balances, but ! don't consider them
munitions of war. Certainly they are
not Destructive
Good sense, that and a good brand
of patriotism, too, Henry Ford owns
his own plant. He doesn't have to
satisfy a thousand stockholders by en-
larging so that he can supply engines
OF death to the warning powers. He
is his own boss and has a sensible
master to work for, SO he isn't going
to engage in the business of an as
sistant eNecutioner But he is ready
to answer the call for his own country
any time it comes, and TO turn to it the
products Of his gigantic factory.
Henry Ford seems to be a real A.
merican. There is no crack in his
brain from the impact of the gold that
follows success, nor is there hyphen
in his name Nobody in America be-
grudges him his remarkable success.

WE'RE GETTING IT ALL
Rainfall In Most Portions Of The
Country Below Normal. '.

During a period of exceptionally
wet weather in this particular section,
it is a distinct surprise to learn that
the rainfall for the United States
since March has been below normal,
and that this abnormal drought ap-
plies to the upper Mississippi valley
as well as to every other of the eight
weather districts of the country ex-
cept the mountain region.
The Wall Street Journal shows
that of 149 weather stations reporting
in the United States, 104 have record
ed rainfall below normal, and As
above normal. g..
The month of June should alter the
figures for the Mississippi valley, but
there is still plenty of opportunity for
the year 1915 to be known as season
of drought rather than of unusual
rainfall.

IN DAYS OFLONC AGO.
Steam Boats That Used To Ply On
Des Moines River.

j. F. Brietensten. of Burlington,
in communication to the Hawk-Eye
says: In your paper have seen of
late references to navigation on the
Iowa and the Des Moines rivers. |
know little about the Iowa, but | liv-
ed at Pennington, on the Des Moines
river, a number OF years in the pal
my days of river traffic There were
dams at Croton, Plymouth, Bona
parte, Bentensport and KeOsauqua.
but as there - We're proper locks,
these dams did not interfere with
the operation of the boats. At Farm
ington there was a draw bridge, the
first of the kind to be thrown across
the stream. There was a fine list of
boats plying the river at that time,
and they did an excellent business.
The freight rate on salt, for in.
stance, was $l.00 per hundred pounds
from Keokuk to the forks of the Rae
coon river, and passengers paid $12
per head for the trip from Keokuk to
Des Moines.. There was plenty of
freight and no lack of passengers,
AMI even at the rate then charged,
freight rates by the river were lower
than the only other form OF trans
portation available at that time, be-
ing big wagons.
The list of steamers as recall
them follows. Some of these boats
ran on the Mississippi within recent
years, but they have all probably
gone 20 the river boat cemetery by
this time.
The Globe was the first boat to
pass through the draw bridge at
Pennington; Caleb Cope, Julia Dean,
