1916 AUTO NUMBERS GOOD FOR
THREE YEARS.

o.. ~ tsl 3
W. S. Allen, secretary Of state, is
preparing to put the new automobile
registration law into effect on Janu-
airy LIST, 1916. Letters are being pre-
pared which will be sent to all auto
mobile owners soon, urging them
to apply for 1915 number plates be-
fore January LIST, 1916. The new law
provides fer number plates which
will remain in service for three
years. The registration fees have
not been changed. Owners Of cars
will be required to pay fees annual
ly. In 1916 they will pay the fee and
receive a number plate, In 1917 and
1918 they will receive notices from
the state to pay the amount requir-
ed for registration. If the owners
do not pay within a reasonable time,
the county attorney will be instruct
ed to begin actions.
Tho application has been greatly
simplified. The old form had nearly
two dozen questions for the auto own
er to answer. The form was SO CON-
plicated that but few owners of cars
filled in the blanks properly at the
first trial. This necessitated send
ing the application back for correc-
tion. The new form of application
asks the name of the owner of the
car, postoffice, county, street num-
Der, make of car, factory number,
model, number Of cylinders, bore of
cylinders, style of car, power, prev
ious registration, name and address
of the former owner and date CT pur-
chase.

THE AUTOMOBILE.

According to the records in the
office of the secretary Of state there
are eleven hundred and four (1104)
automobiles in Delaware county
about enough to carry; one--third Of
the population at one time. Remark
able as has been the sales record
of automobiles in the past few years
there is every indication that the
business is growing rather than
falling off, There had been 140, 16s
auto licenses issued by the secretary
of state to Sept. %, 1915, from
which the state has Teceivcd,in fees
about $1,25O,OO0. Polk county leads
in the number of autos owned with
$3.50 and Black Hawk is next with
1890.

A DANGEROUS COMBINATION.

Floyd Aldrich, of near Golden,
created considerable disturbance on
the streets Saturday afternoon, when
he made a wild run through the bust.
ness section of the city. 1t is claim
ed that Aldrich had imbibed too
much booze, and then proceeded to
SEQ how much, damage he could do
and make his getaway. Marshall
Ashed, however, brought the young
man to Manchester in just about as
quick time as he made his getaway,
and escorted him to the Haug gar
age, where he was relieved of a
goodly pile of his surplus cash to
|pay for repairs on the A. W..
Stearns car.
Young Aldrich came down Frank
lin street, and while turning the
-Four Corners, he sent his car head
long through large mortar box
in front of the Drew dry goods store.
This incident did not check Aldrich
in the least but proceeded on Main
street and turned at the corner Of
Main and Madison and when he
reached the Haug garage he struck
Mr.. Stearns' car, and damaged the
machine to the amount of about $35.
After striking the car, and barely
missing Fred Haug, who stood next
to the car, Aldrich turned on the
Juice" and made his getaway. Mr.
Asher followed the young man to his
home and he was brought back to
make good the damage. In addition
to paying the costs of repairing the
Stearns car, he was hailed before
Justice George S. Lister, who assess
e4 a fine of ten dollars, and costs of
over six dollars, for violating the
speed ordnance
If Mr.. Aldrich was under the in
fluence of liquor at the time of the
mix-up, the fine and costs assessed
against him will no doubt have
wholesome effect upon him.

Of their childhood, So they'd stag

Ice-Cream The Ideal Food

ible, and viii often be taken and
retained when nothing else can be.
Ia There is Just one abuse connected
with ice-cream. and that Is soda
water. Soda-water is bad dope for
the stomach. The less you drink OF
II the better for your health.
OF course. ice water is commonly
served with ice-cream. and for many
individuals it appears to be harm
less, but as a general rule cold water.
without ice in it, is preferable, and
certainly safer, unless you know posi-
lively the source of the ice. For ice
can, and does occasionally. carry such
contamination as typhoid.
1t is safer, on the whole, to carry
your ice-cream home and share il
with your own people. When it is
served you elsewhere you have got to
take chances on the personal clean
illness of the servants. and everybody
knows how easy it is for an innocent
carrier OF diphtheria or typhoid
bacilli. or possibly tubercle hacilli. to
thrust his or her germ-contaminated
finger into the cream or water you
are about to consume.

A ROOSTER is feathe-ed alarm
~ clock who does the heavy
n posing while hen lays an egg.
Later on he taxes all the credit for
the job He corresponds to the man
who comes proudly downtown when
his ninth child is born to get his
wife another washing customer.
The rooster is handsome and dash
ing and is madly admired by his
family He couldn't be more popu-
lar If he were the tenor soloist in \
comic opera company. This is be-
cause he does nothing but crow
The rooster is much wiser than
some men. They crow industriously
and then in an evil moment at
tempt to perform and fall down and
are given the cruel 'ha ha" by the
bystanders. But the rooster crows
and refrains with great firmness
from doing anything else Thus he
is never exposed and in time ac-
quires more wives than a pugilist
A hen who is raising twelve chick
ems and scratching for all Of them Is
as proud Of the rooster who is watch
ing her hustle as a wife is of the
husband who can lick all creation
but is going to stick around before
starting anything until she has pre-
pared one more square meal with
trimmings, having stood the grocery
off for the same.
The rooster has recson to be
proud however, for he has one great
talent. He can wake at daybreak.
This would make a millionaire Of
him If he did anything after waking.
However he is content to awaken the
rest OF the world. More people are
awakened by roosters than by alarm
clocks or all other appliances PIT
