TRIUMPH WITH NEW SHOW
LAST EVENING.
Big Improvement over Last Year and
Many Startling Aets-Repeated
This Afternoon and Night.

Leroy. Talma & Bosco returned TO
the Court Theater last night for a
two-day engagement, and scored an
other triumph. Their unusual show
OF magic is greater this year than
ever before. and is so full OF the un-
expected and miraculous that the au-
dience was kept in continual suspense
and wonder.
From the moment Mr.. Servais Lee
Roy introduces his two costars, Miss
Talma and Mr.. Bosco, TO the spectac-
ular and super-human final. the per
Torrance Is one Of almost unbeliev-
able illusions and magical feats of ex-
traordinary necromancers. So many
were the mysteries presented during
the evening that Il Is hard TO feature

and OF a kind never before seen in
Wheeling
In the FIRST act one OF the many
brilliant feats staged IL the famous
Hindu rope trick. This miracle OF
climbing an unsupported rope and Of
hanging in mid aid made great hit
with the audience. Talma follows
this ND with some OF the most dex-

work OF this artist IL positively IN
canny. The Ehostly visit IL another
perplexing illusion OF the first act.

The federal reserve board is over
whelmingly democratic and it is dom
mated by southern democrats at that.
Accordingly it is no great surprise to
find the south appearing as the Chief
beneficiary of the boards operations.
The rediscounting OF commercial pa
per is the chief means of making the
federal reserve system available for
and useful to business men. In July
the total sum rediscounted was $13,-
238,2OO OF this the three federal re-
serve banks in the southern cities Of
Richmond, Atlanta and Dallas took ex-
actly GA per cent of the whole, Rich
mond alone taking 1923 per cent, or
almost one.third of the total redis-
counting done for the entire country
The federal reserve system was wide
ly heralded as being national under
taking. rude shock was admins
tered to this theory when the board
was made up and when the reserve
cities were selected. Further repudias
ton of. the national idea. is being de-
veloped from month to month as the
boards operations are made known.

worked to the limit for the benefit OF

Washington who would hold the decid-

UNCULTIVATED IOWA.

The editor. has been having quiet
laugh at himself ever since he read in
Golfers Weekly woman's account
of her trip across the country. and
particularly lowe, in an automobile.
Judging from the tone OF her talk,
she never rode in an automobile be-
fore. She halls from the far east,
where everybody believes the middle
west and west to be bowling cOun-
try. She had her mind made up before
hand that she wasn't going to find
anything worth boosting after she got
west Of Chicago. She was helped in
her resolution when she struck iowa
in rainy spell. The roads were not
altogether nice, but they were no
worse than Emily's disposition. She
found herself aggravated also by the
hotels in Cedar Rapids and Des
Moines, though the secret Of the mat
ter is that she didn't get as much spe-
cial attention as she thought she
should. Some way the uncultivated
natives of wild and woody Iowa didn't
realize how important she was. She
got her revenge by writing them up in
Golfers. Now we are coming to the
part that made us laugh. We have
written number of letters concern
ing country we saw on our summers
trip, and we can't help but wonder II
we missed the truth as far as Emily
did in describing what we saw. Some
of the folks in Alberta think what we
did When we got to the place in Emil
ly's article which pictured our state
in these words: Much OF Iowa is UNI
cultivated" why then it was we broke
down and laughed. Emily being from
the east, couldn't be expected to
know that no state in the union has
so large percentage of tillable land
as Iowa She mistook the corn stalks |
for scrub timber and the alfalfa for
weeds. In her eyes Iowa is uncultivat- |
ed because it's farms don't resemble |
the stony patches which, in the east,
they call fields. while the people are
because they don't know |
enough to bow down and smirk when |
a blue blooded easterner visits them.

TRADE BALANCE WILL TURN.

-. Washington, Sept: as. Especial Cor
Observation-Disclosures the United
States can hope to hold its place as
the leading export nation Of the world,
is problem now receiving the atten.
ton of the business men of America.
1t was the European war that gave the
United States its present prominence.
What will happen when the war shall
close is the great question which very
properly causes anxiety among men
who are financially interested in the
continuance of that partially restored
prosperity now prevailing in some sec
tons of the country.
Men who are accustomed to dealing
with conditions, rather than theories,
and who build on reasonable certain
ties, rather than on possibilities, do
not overlook the fact that in July, 1914
Just before the outbreak Of the Euro
pean war, there was very alarming
balance of trade against the United
States. They will not forget that the
balance OF trade turned against us
Soon after the tariff for revenue on
ly"i policy was decided upon by the
election of a democratic administra-
lion and that it was only the condi-
lions developed by the European war
which turned the tide in our favor.
VI Will the balance OF trade turn
against us when the, cause which turn
ed it in our favor has been removed q
Most business men are answering this
question in the affirmative, believing
that since it was war orders" that
formed the basis of favorable trade
balance, that balance can continue on
,ly SO long as the war shall remain a
factor In international commerce.
There are several facts which no
one disputes:
First. the call of millions OF men In
Europe from Industrial activity to mil
itary operations decreased production
on that continent.
Second, the war not only decreased
production abroad, but destroyed many
products already manufactured and
created new and enormous markets.
Third, the only large producing ma
ton ready to supply the commodities
most in demand by reason OF the war
was the United States; hence this
country received greater part OF the |
war orders.
Fourth, as soon as the armies OF
Europe are disbanded, those millions
of men will return to manufacturing
and other productive enterprises.
Fifth, European nations will be i'm
poyerished, and the United States. as
a result of its large favorable trade
balance, will be the only country In a
position to buy extensively.
Sixth, as consequence Of high
prices paid by buyers OF war equip
ment, wages in many American indus
tries have been increased, and when
European producers again begin &C
tiyity the American producer will be
thrown into competition with factor
les paying the lowest scale of wages,
while American mills pay the highest.
The foregoing facts present stu
alton which the business men OF Amer
lea must meet, and they are now giving

HARD ON THE BooTLEGeERs.

Indications favor fewer holes-in-the
wall in Iowa after January /, 1916,
than there were in the old fashioned
prohibition days. There may be sever
al reasons why, but one of the most
important is the new Legislation pass
ed by the Thirty-sixth general assem-
bly, for the special purpose of putting
the bootlegger out Of business.
AT any rate. II the example set by
the judges OF the Woodbury. Monona
district is followed by judges OF other
districts. either there will be consider
ably less bootlegging; or the peniten-
,tiaries will soon be bulging with un-
wise men who insist on selling liquor
in, violation of the laws Of Iowa. Judge
Jepson had the distinction Of being
the first magistrate to make applica-
Ekions Of the new 5leelislation, and now
Judge Anderson and Judge Sears have
followed suit. As far as is known only
one other magistrate, Judge Smith, OF
Jones county, has passed peniten-
tiary sentence for bootlegging.
In the old days bootleggers had a
fairly easy time OF it. Those that
were found guilty usually got off by
paying fines. A few of them had to
serve Jail sentences Now, If they
persist in their error, they must go to
the penitentiary, along with stickup
men and housebreakers. Nor does
the action of the Sioux City judges
indicate that any distinction is to be
made between the iOwbrow who ped
dies the stuff in time honored style
out of the inner recesses of his boot
and the more genteel pharmacist who
doles it out behind prescription
CAGE.
The Thirty-sixth general assembly
evidently made up its mind to do a
thorough job when it tackled the
proposition of discouraging bootleg
ging. It decided to get after chronic
offenders by two routes, by criminal
procedure and by injunction. One
law provides that upon second con
yiction under the criminal statute an
offender "shall be considered per-
sistent violator Of such law, and sem
tence' for each subsequent violation
shall be Imprisonment in the state
penitentiary or state reformatory for
not more than one year." Another
law has reference to liquor injunctions
anu pIOFlueS LldJ u poAL ~ "ho' "a"
ing once been found guilty OF con-

any such injunction, shall for each
subsequent violation be punished by
fine of not less than $500 or more
than $1,000, or by Imprisonment in
the state penitentiary or state reform
atory at hard labor for not more
than one year." In the criminal
action, the, penitentiary sentence is
stipulated without alternative, but in
the case of persistent contempt OF
court, the magistrate may either fine
the offender or send him to the peni-
