RAILROADS ARE TO
MAKE NEW MOVE
viii Sell Mileage Books at "a Cents
Per Mile Before New
Years.

DIES MONIES. Ia, Dec. 27.-Rail-
roads will put mileage books on sale
December 18th, asking "a cents per
mile, according to information which
has been received by the state rail
road commission. In the opinion of
Clifford Thorne. chairman Of the
Iowa commission. they will have no
right to do this inasmuch as the order
of the interstate commerce commits
sion was to the effect that the new
passenger traffic must be filed with
the commission before the new rates
could be made. 1t will not be pos
sible for the railroads to do this IN
so short time. the Iowa officials be-
lieve.
1t is not probable either that the
travelling public will pay "a cents per
mile for mileage books in lots Of 900
miles each when they can buy
straight tickets In a number OF states
for two cents per mile

Justice to Be Opposed.

The opposition to the reelection OF
President Justice is active, but it is
conceded that much will depend on
the formation of the association for
1916. The guarantee money for next
season must be posted before airy
club will be permitted to vote, and
Keokuk must have $500 In the hands
of the president before 1T will be al
lowed a place in the meeting as a
member. Should Keokuk fail to post
it's guarantee the selection Of sue
cessor will prece1e the election OF
officers and the new member might
hold the deciding vote. Therefore
much will depend upon the city adj
mitted, whether it be from northern
or southern Iowa.

The veteran rule is not expected to

So far as Waterloo and Marshalltown,
at least, are concerned. the vet"
rule is dead issue. The gist Of the
whole question is this: The rule may
be adopted by gentlemen's agreement
contrary to the judgment OF the ma
tional commission, but a unanimfty OF
opinion is necessary to make such
an agreement binding, and Waterloo
and Marshalltown will not be party
to such pact. Even should such a
rule be agreed upon club could take
exception to the ruling of the league
president on protested players, could
carry the case to the national COM

A tired woman came to the door

do, Alfred" she walled, and he recog-
nized his wife, Mary. His impulse
was to seize her in his arms; but yet
it seemed so natural to him to be
seated there that he almost forgot
she had been dead so many years.
"Bob's worse" she said.
Bob was the baby who had died.
The captain had never forgotten him,
but he had been dead so many years
that he had placed him in that part
of his mind where he store up our bit
teTsweet memories that are too pain
full for thought.
"And the doctor won't come until
his bill is PAID" the woman wept. She
fell upon her knees before him. cal
fred, what are we going to do?" she
cried. ''I'l have to go to work for
Mrs. SymOnds and put the children
in the institution again"
Capt Paul remembered now. He
had just returned from an, unsUccess-
full voyage, his partnership in the lit
tie boat ended when she sank in the
Bay Of Bengal. He had been shipped
home penniless and he had gone on a
freighter as a common hand the fol-
lowing day.
When he returned the baby had
been dead three months. The captain
was dimIy aware that Bob was going,
to die.
Mary" his voice quavered as he
put his arms about her. "I'H find a
ship tomorrow. 10, God! l wish /
had a million dollars"
The wish had broken spontaneous
Iy from his lips, but Immediately the
scene changed. The wish had re-
ferred to no period of his life; con-
sequently the scene in which he
found himself was one which he was
unable to recognize.
, He was seated in the library of
MAGNIFICENT house in a seaport town.

W. vi AinCdnuOn nus purchased
the Julius Cole home place east of
court square. This is a very de-
sirable piece of property, and Mr..
Kincannon will ,expend five or six
hundred dollars in improving it.
We are requested to announce
that A. j. Smith, an evangelist,
will preach at Thompson's School
House Tuesday night, August 10;
Smiths Grove Wednesday night,
and Mount Tabor Thursday night.
Plans are under way to build
Sunday school rooms at the M. E..
Church, South. This has been
made necessary by the growth of
the Sunday school, which has an
enrolment of a little less than 200.
There will be a meeting of the
Camden Cemetery Association
with the president, Mrs. w. P.
McGill. Saturday afternoon at 2
o'clock. A full attendance of the
members of the association is earn
estly desired at this meeting.
The street leading west from
the northwest corner of court
square is receiving attention from
the Steet Committee this week.
Pardon us, gentlemen; but the
main trouble with that street, like
some others we could mention, is
it needs a fill instead of scooping it
lower. A crossing direct across
the street at the junction with the
square is badly needed.
The w. G. T. U. met with Mrs.
A. s. McGill Monday afternoon
with an unusually large number of
members present. It was decided
by the ladies to have parcels
post" sale the latter part Of August.
It is urged that as many as possible
attend the next meeting, which will
be held with Mrs. j. G. Presson.
1t will be the close of the contest,
and other important business will
come before this meeting of the
union.
1t has been suggested, and we
heartily endorse the suggestion,
that the merchants and business
men of Camden close their places
of business next week and that
every man and boy in town actively
engage in the work of building a
good road to the Carroll County
line. Every citizen of the town is
a beneficiary of good roads, and
we look for general turn out on
the days set apart by the committee
appointed at the mass meeting on
last Tuesday evening.
Mr.. aud Mrs. E. d. Davidson
moved in from Big Sandy this
week, and will become permanent
of our town. Mr.. Da-
wilson has been connected with
the firm of j. +. Dowdy at Big
Sandy as head salesman, and has
considerable experience in the
mercantile business. We predict
that here as there his genial dispo-
sition and methods of doing bust
ness will make the new firm pop
ulaf one in Camden. His father,
B. f. Davidson, of Way is also
successful merchant of long expe-
rience, and brings confidence to
the store and will give a business
prestage that will be enviable.
The Chronicle joins in extending
a hearty welcome to Mr.. and Mrs.
Davidson.

A Lost Street Car

A trolley car was lost in one of our
big western cities for a whole after
noon. 1t belonged on one of the short
runs in the suburbs and had been put
in the care of entirely new, but busi-
ness-like motorman and conductor.
All went well until noon. After that
nothing could be heard of the car.
Telephone calls to the car barns re-
vealed nothing, as did frantic calls
from the main Office to points along
the cars course.
In the evening, however, the smil-

the car into its proper place.

Ingenious Sleuth Work

A Kansas City doctor skidded into
the curbing of a street in that town
and his automobile was disabled.
When a repair man went to look it
over he found that the machine had
been rammed by another passing
along the road and as a result had
sustained serious damages. The only
trace of the second machine that could
be found was grease cup that had
been broken off a front spring. A
motorcycle policeman came along and
picked up the broken cup. Undis-
couraged by the smiles of by-standers
and their suggestions that he was be-
ginning a hopeless quest, he slipped
the bit of metal into his pocket and
started out to find the owner of the
car that had done the ramming.
He discovered that the cup was used
on certain make of machine. Argu-
ing that the owner would probably
take the injured vehicle to the shop he
went to the one which he thought
would most probably be visited. I'm
mediately he found the one he sought.
To ascertain the name of the owner
was then an easy matter. Going to the
telephone he called him up. Your
motor car collided with another car in

I,onpeyity Of Life

The United States Public Health
Service and the various health agen-
cies of this country are working to
prolong the average duration of life.
In this they are obeying the desire
for existence which is the strongest
instinct of mankind. Only a small
proportion of the human race rounds
out its tour of duty on this earth.
Some people are born with good bod
les which they treat well. Barring
accidents, they live a long time. Some
people are born with good bodies.
which they treat badly and some peo-
pie are born with poor bodies which
they treat badly. They don't last
long.
1t is recorded that in Yorkshire in
1901, Henry Jenkins was born. He
died in 1910, cut off at the age of 169.
He remembered well the battle of
Flodden Field. This occurred in 1913,
when he was II years Of age. The
Register of Chancery and other courts
show the administration of oaths to
him 140 years prior to his death. He
gave deposition as witness when he
was 157. In his young manhood,
when he was little over 100, he was
a remarkable swimmer.
The term "old age" too frequently
is another name for the falling due of
the debts of youth. Over-eating, over
drinking, over-playing, overworking,
these are drafts on the bank of nature
which sooner or later must be met.
Sometimes the day of reckoning can
Belding banner., 1915-10-06

be put off a little bit, but Dame Ma
ture will not be wheedled out of her
claim.
The remarkable thing about Henry
jenkins is the fact that he has left
behind him no rules Of living which
would enable one to duplicate his feat.
In this he showed great self-repres-
sion. AS matter of fact there is no
royal road to old age and it is not
to be attained by a particlar dietary
OF regimen of life. Perhaps the best
rule may be expressed in one word,
Moderation. Moderation in food,
moderation in drink, moderation in
the joys and worries of life, modera-
tion in work, moderation in recreation,
equanimity of the mind the soul and
the body. These make for long ten
ure Of life

The Dixon Case Renewed

The case which was brought against
Charles A. Dixon more than a year
ago for operating the Idlehour theatre
on a Sunday evening in this city has
been reversed by the supreme court.
The reversal Of the lower courts de-
cision was ordered, according to the
opinion, because prosecution was not
begun under the proper act.
1t will be remembered that Deputy
Sheriff Lew Stoddard was sent here
from Ionia by Prosecuting Attorney
Alfred Locke one Sunday night and
ordered the people present to leave
the theatre as they were liable to ar
rest. Mr.. Dixon was arrested the next
day and in the examination before
Justice Spencer he and Guy Alexander
were held for trial in the circuit court.
