BIDS FOR AUTO PLATES.
Ten Firms Want Contracts For Fur.
nishing Tags For 1916.

Des Moines, July 14.-After hear
ing arguments presented by repre-
sentatives of ten firms manufacture
ing automobile plates, the state ex-
ecutive council yesterday afternoon
adjourned to 10 O'Clock this morn
ing. 1t will then let the contract
for 100000 pair of automobile plates
to be used in Iowa during the three
years, beginning January /, 1916.
Prices quoted to the council were
higher than last year for the reason
that more substantial plate will be
needed to last three years. The new
law provides that the new registra-
ton shall be for a three year period.
Practically every variety of plate
and practically every color was ex-
hibited by agents. There is consider
ably rivalry as the contract will run
into big figures this year. w. S.
Allen, secretary of state, who has
charge of the automobile registra-
ton department has the task OF de-
termining what color the new plate
will be. He favors dark blue, but
the manufacturers claim that 10
Combinations of blue can be made
which will stick on plate. There
fore the secretary may decide on a
dark brown with a light letter.
While the plates this year cost
about % cents a pair, the figures
submitted by the manufacturers for
the heavier plate average about 35
cents a pair
Borreson & Co., of st. Paul, the
firm having the contract for the 1915
auto plates in Iowa, told the council
that if it gets the new contract it in
tends to move it's plant to Des
Moines. BY making the plate in this
city the firm can give the state a
better price than rivals, it is said.
The service by this firm in 1915 has
been excellent, the secretary of state
declares.

IOWA PEOPLE LIVE TO GOOD
OLD AGE.
Vital Statistics Show Large Number
of Very Old People in the
Death List.

The vital statistics of Iowa for
the month of April have just been
issued by the state board of health.
1t shows a total of 1904 deaths for
the month, 1,043 of which were
male and 991 female. Organic heart
disease, pneumonia, Bright's disease,
apopleXy and cancer were the most
frequent causes of death. The total
number of deaths from these causes
was as follows: Heart disease, 228;
pneumonia, 1855; apoplexy, 142; can
Ger, 14O; Brght's disease, 113.
In Pottawattamie county five peo-
pie died of pneumonia during April,
nine of heart disease and six from
Brights disease. The total number
of deaths reported from all causes in
that county in April was forty
eight.
The month was hard one on old
people and children under one year.
In the latter class there were 200
deaths, and there were 3S1 deaths
of persons between the ages OF 20
and 80 years.
Apparently there are many people
who live to a ripe old age in this
state, four people out of the total
number who died during the month
had passed their ninetieth birthday,
and there were 26O who were be-
tween the ages of so and 80 years.

STATE SERUM SOLD AT COST.
Profits at Ames Go to the Farmers
of Iowa in Reduced Cost.

Iowa farmers who have to buy
hog cholera serum for their hogs are
paying only one and one-half cents
per cubic ccntimeter for serum at
the state serum laboratory at Ames
this summer, reduction of one-half
cent per cubic centimeter from two
cents, the price charged when the
state plant was first started. This
reduction is in keeping with the pol
icy of selling the serum at almost
cost to the farmers, and the officials
of the state serum plant hope to
make further reduction in price
soon.
Great pains and care are taken in
making the serum at the state plant.
Every hog from which serum is to
be made is kept under oservation,
and the serum produced is OF even
potency. These exact methods make
it sure that the farmer will get
good serum. Any batch of serum
which does not come strictly up to
the highest standards is destroyed.
While the serum plant has help
ed to save many thousands of dol
lars worth of hogs, all profits from
the sale of serum go back to the
farmers of the state in a reduction
of the price. Only enough surplus
capital is kept on hand to make Sc
rum during the winter months to
have some on hand for the summer
season. Not dollar of money from
the sale of serum is used for any
other purpose than to make new Sc
rum.

Gunpowler Plants.

Workers in gunpowder plants
whenever a storm comes up adjourn
to the watch houses surrounding the
plant proper and enjoy themselves
until the storm is over.
Lightning is not the only danger
dreaded in gunpowder plants, how
ever. Metal is dreaded-its hard
surface may cause explosions-and
hence on the workmen's clothes the
buttons must all be of bone.
The workmen's clothes must be
pocketless so that they may not carry
matches or knives, and a workman,
no matter how dandified his tates,
must not wear turned up trousers
since in turnups grit is harborcd, and
grit in a gunpowder mill is as dan
gerous almost as fire.
In all the buildings Of these plants
not nail head or any sort of iron
material is exposed The roofs, too
are made very slight, so that in the
event of an explosion they will blow
off easily. The doors all open out
ward to make escape easy, and the
plant is usually surrounded with q
stream of water, into which the
hands are trained to dive at the first
sign of danger.-Cincinnati En-
Quirer.

Nav Lose Eyesight.

Last Thursday while working
around his farm Ed Worden had a
very painful accident happen to
him. The supposition is, he was
building fence and the wire broke
striking him in the right eye, cutting
through the lower lid. Thinking it
was a small affair he continued at
work, but Friday the eye was SO
painful and inflamed he could hardly
see anything out of it. Saturday it
was so bad he could only see an OBJ
ject standing directly in the light.
He left here Saturday afternoon for
Des Moines, to consult an eye special
list. Several years ago Mr.. Worden
had at attack of neuralgia in his left
cheek and eye, causing the ball to
burst leaving him the sight of only
one eye and now that the good one
is affected his many Van Vert and
Weldon friends anxiously await de-
velopments and trust that Mr.. Wor-
den may return with the eyesight
fully restored.-Van Vert Pathtin-
der.

Queer Quirks of News.

Ramsey, Ill.-Woodrow, 2-year
old son of Mrs. John Eckard, tumbled
into a thirty-foot we'll and was fol-
lowed Immediately by his mother
who climbed down the rocks jutting
from the sides. Before going into
the we'll, Mrs. Eckard sent her
daughter half a mile distant for
HELM, 1t was necessary for the
mother to brace herself against the
sides of the we'll for thirty minutes
after rescuing her baby, before help
arrived.
Rochester, n. Y.-The record for
expensive meals, hitherto held by
Lucullus and Cleopatra, was broken
here when James Cullen swallowed
$1,000 worth of radium at a gulp
knd carried it in his stomach for
two days. The tube containing the
radium was recovered intact.
Enid, Okla.-Fifteen chilled bird
shot were taken from the appendix
of Miss Gladys Clear, of Hinton.
Miss Clear is II years old and does
not remember having swallowed the
shot.
Rome, Ga.-Jerry Neal, colored,
of Cave Springs, has just celebrated
his 124th birthday. Papers prove
his age conclusively. He is the
father of forty-four children, re-
members the war Of 1872 and many
Indian wars, and is we'll and hearty.
Waukegan, IH.-Abraham Little
john, II years old, of North Chicago,
died the other day after making a
daily visit to the North Chicago and
Waukegan postofiices for twenty
seven years in search of letter
from his son, John, who lett nome
years ago. The letter never came.
Hutchinson, Kans.-The Kansas
courts have held that married Wom-
an has the right to snore as loudly,
boisterously and generously as she
cares to, even though it makes her
husband the champion insomnia OF
his state. Charles Sentney, in an
action for divorce, claimed he had
not slept but eight hours since his
marriage ten years ago. Judge
Prigg of Reno county refused the
divorce and made Sentney give his
wife 1000.
Bellaire. O.-Saloon keepers here
are so careful to obey the law and
perpetuate the wet regime, that they
all have bibles as part OF their
equipment. When a question as to
the legal age of a customer arises,
the barkeep produces the bible and
compels the seeker for liquor to
swear on it that he is over twenty
one wears of age.

The Meanest Man.

We have had many descriptions
of the meanest man in the commun-
ity including every classification
from the man who won't shovel
snow beyond his yard entrance to
the man who beats his wife. There
is another fellow who ought to be
considered a candidate for the dis
tinction and that is the fellow who
breaks booze bottles on sidewalks
and public highways. There is a
law which provides a penalty for this
demeanor but it is too seldom invok-
ed. Just why any one should want
to furnish the means of injuring
barcfooted children and horses and
destroying auto tires, is beyond our
conception.

A COwardly Attack.

Last Thursday night as Will Hong
as and Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Tenney
were on their way to Decatur, when
rounding the corner at the L. A.
Monroe farm, someone threw a rock
at the car striking Mr.. Hougas be-
hind the ear. He said he saw stars
a plenty and that if he had been
running fast he would probably have
lost control of the car, which would
have caused a fatal accident No
reason can be found for the attack
and so far the guilty party has not
been apprehended. When caught
this fellow should be treated to a
good stiff fine, so it would be les
son to other would-be rock throwers.
