Under the local option plan which
exists in Minnesota for the regulation
of the liquor traffic Albert Lea has
gone dry because of the expressed
wish and desire of the people who re-
side in the county round about the
town. The vote of the town itself was
wet by 100 as the town vote so often
goes but when the country had
spoken there were s57 in clear ma
jority to close the saloons and the
saloons Will be closed.
The point Of interest in Iowa is the
object lesson thus afforded as to the
county as a unit in deciding the saloon
question. Iowa is going to try the
state as a unit and If the majority
vote dry the state is to be dry but
If We ever return to regulation by
smaller units in this state it would be
well TO recognize the rights of those
who must dwell within the zone of the
saloons evil influence.
The boy Of the farm home feeds the
saloon just as the boy of the town
home does. Booze never knows a
town line. Liquor bought in the town
will produce hell and murder in the
country just as quickly as in town.
When considering the wishes of the
majority it would be no more incon-
sistent TO confine the vote to the own
ers Of property within the business
district than to stop the vote at the
town line. All of the people of the
county are to be affected. The saloon
is 10 be the common enemy of all so
let the vote of the entire county be
option in Iowa.

PROBLEM OF THE USED CAR SOLVED.

What can a man do with his old
car? What can any man dc with an
old automobile? It may be running
just as It ever did. but the new ones
look much nicer and they are new
ones. Who wants to wear garments
that are out of style?
With prices on new models climbing
downwards 5000 at a jump and electri
cally equipped cars selling at $3.50,
skies under $1,000 and Fights in the
s1,22e class what IS there left for
used car that cost $1,000 or perhaps
$4,000?
Some use must be found for old au-
tomobiles. Necessity has always been
the mother of invention. The neces-
sity is here and there is bound to be
a maternity case. The old cars cost
too much money to be strapped and
their engines nearly all have ten years
of life in them.
The time has arrived to transfer the
old car from the passenger service 10
the freight service. An automobile
will haul on other wheels four times
the load it could have carried on its
own wheels. This is the result os
tests a: truck works. Already the
farm press and motor journals are an
nouncing trailers or trucklets to be
towed behind automobiles. The adver-
tisers recommend them for use behind
the owners touring car but the mo-
ment the trailer comes into general use
the used car will come into its own.
The new car will serve the family as
the standard bred or Cleveland bays
did of yore but the used car will hau,
the hogs, the milk cans and all the
miscellaneous freight Of the farm.
Hereafter loads will move over the
highways at ten 10 fifteen miles an
hour where horses once sweated at
two and half miles an hour. Time
for the owner will be saved in the
ratio Of 4 to and then, anyway, he
had the old car. What else could he
do with it?

Four young men were riding along
quiet road in an automobile belonging to
one Of them. 1t was moonlight, out
their lights were not burning. for they

urday night and they had been at
tending keg party for the sake OF
good time, and they were not paying
much attention to what they were do

corner in the wrong way and landed
in a ditch. One of them was killed,
another MANNED for life. and the otner
two but slightly bruised, and the car
smashed into a heap Of junk. One lie

that he does not care to hold on to the
senatorship. while he is before the peo-

GOOD FARMING SAVES WORRY.
Monticello Express

The food farmers, those who have
been able to keep their cornfields clean,
are not worrying about the corn crop.
While it is backwards, there has not
been an excessive rainfall, and they say
two weeks Of hot weather viii begin to
develop the smiles on the faces Of those
who have been feeling lugubrious. The
corn never failed in this part Of the
country. also we are not dependent
upon corn alone The Iowa farmers
will continue to be the best fed, and
the most independent class in this
country where soil production is the
basic element of our prosperity.

BACK TO THE OLD DAYS.
(Lincoln Journal.)

There are few American men, we
suppose. who have not experienced
vague yearnings on reading OF the
ways and customs of their predeces-
sors on this continent. The American
Indian had a definite division of labor
with his wife The lady was to do all
the work. The lord was TO do the
fighting, and between times take vaca-
ton trips in search of game. The
wedding of the corn was woman's
work-all industrial occupations. in
fact. down to the scraping of the fish
the men caught Such a matter as
washing the dishes or. dressing the
baby-a self respecting buck would
have died at the thought.
How different has been the state OF
the white man in the modern era OF
peace. The pale face could conquer
the poorly armed Indian. but there his
power stopped. His was the hoeing OF
the corn, the skinning Of the rabbit,
the chopp!ng of the wood. A century
ago his helpmeet still retained certain
duties She kept the house. did the
cooking, cared for the young children,
and sometimes MIXED the COW ana
helped ir the garden. Many still per-
form these functions. The steady DRIFT
however. has been toward less work
for women and more for men until
now, in the cities especially. the lndian
arrangement is squarely reversed. IT.
