CHRISTMAS SPIRIT COUNTS.
Keep 1t Alive i'm Charities Through
out The Year Suggests Univer-
sity Social Worker.

In brief message to the people
of Iowa, Miss Bessie McClenahan,
chief of the social service extension
work of the State University of
Iowa, calls attention to the good
which the Christmas spirit might do
if carried throughout the year.
''The people in almost every town
have felt the need for helping some
of their poorer neighbors," she says.
"How to do it is the question. How
help those who are too proud to
ask? How help them so that in
stead of being content to let the COM
munity take care of them, they are
put on their feet to take care of
themselves? How force the non-su-
porter to provide for his little chill
dren? How help mothers to plan
their expenditures, to buy nutritious
food, to prepare it appetizingly?
These are only a few of the questions
that confront the thoughtful citizens
of every town.
1T is not enough to give basket
at Christmas time, toys and clothing,
shoes and mittens. Why not carry
the Christmas spirit throughout the
whole year? Every day people need
our help. But let us give it wisely
Let us know what the needs are, and
then let us all work together, un-
derstading what each is trying to do.
Let all of us, public officials, church
societies, charity societies, lodges,
clubs, get together. Let us not be
content to help just for one day in
the year. Let us organize our Christ
mas spirit and make it active the
whole year through.
"And let us remember that peo-
pie need many more things than just
food and fuel and clothing. They
need health and work and recreation
and pleasant, attractive homes.
Above all, they need friends. Let US
respect the condolences of the peo-
pie we would help. Their suffering,
their problems are not proper sub
jects for general conversation. There
lis an ethics of social work and we
have. not more right to gossip about
our friends In need than physician
has to discuss his patients.
1,"Our problems are never just the
problems of giving help OF some
kind. They are community problems
and have to do with the spirit of the
community that makes possible a
fair opportunity for all her citizens" F"

Secretary Shows.
MANY MOTORCYCLES, TOO
ARE USED in IOWA
w. S. Allen Expects Registration
for 1916 to Reach 175,O0O
Automobiles.

When the registration of automo-
biles for 1915 closed last week the
records in the office of w. S. Allen,
secretary of state, showed 145,024
cars owned and operated in Iowa
during the year. The total fees col
lected by the department amount to-
$1,393, ,3O6.67.
There was an increase of 38,937
automobiles in Iowa, compared with
the records of 1914. The total num-
Der of cars registered last year was
106,0S7.
While the last automobile plate
issued this year was 152,024, it is
necessary to deduct 1000 from that
number to get the net number OF
cars, as he first 1000 numbers were
reserved for motorcycles.
There were 7,049 motorcycles reg
istered in 1915.
While technically purchasers OF
automobiles are expected to register
cars for 1915 which are purchased
before Jan. 1, 1916, the state depart
ment ceased yesterday to require fur
ther registration for this year.
However, the record of fees col
lected for 1915 will not be closed un-
til Dec. 81. The collections so far
this year are $1,393,306.67. Fees
now are piling up in the Office at the
rate of $4,000 day, so that the
total collections for the year will
reach $4,000 the officials pre-
dict.
The total collections for 1914
were $1,O40,135.54. Therefore, the
receipts this year are expected to be
! at least half million more than fer
last year.
w. S. Allen, secretary of state, ex-
poets the registration for 1916 to
reach 175,0 cars. So far the de-
partment has registered 23,0S9 cars
for next year This is 1915 ahead
of the mark at the same time last
year. Automobile owners are being
urged to send in their fees and re-
quest for plates before Jan. l, in
order to aid the department in han
ding the business.
Beginning Jan. 1, the state will
operate under the new automobile
registration law. The number plates
will be good for three years. Auto
owners will be required to register
cars before April 1, 1916 to escape
paying penalties for being delin-
lquent

THRIFTY BURLEsON..

The annual report of Postmaster
General Burleson, made public last
Saturday, shows that the European
war has cost the American postal
service $21, 100000, but that $1O,-
100000 has been saved in cutting
down the expenses of administration
and that the deficit for the fiscal
year which ended last June is but a
little more than $4,000, 0,00O.-M Man

Bro. Burleson is thrifty soul
He fairly panteth to save money
for the government.
And how is he doing it?
BY robbing the northern states
(Which are largely republican, OF
rural mail service for the benefit of
the southern states (Which was
largely democratic.)
Between April l and October 16 of
this year Bro. Burleson established
l838 new rural routes. How many did
Iowa get? She got four of the new
ones and lost or will lose an average
of two to each county, or nearly 200.
What did the south get? Well, Ar
kansas picked up so, Missouri 81,

THE YEAR AND IT'S TEACHINGS.
What Will be The Great Events of
1915 as Seen by the Future
Historian?

1t is customary for many newspa-
pers at the close of a year, to print
a record of events happening in the
twelve months. These reviews are
instructive, hut at best they con-
vey little suggestion of the real spir-
lit of a period of time.
History seems one long record Of
wars, battles, personal conflicts of
kings and emperors. These are not
the most vital facts. The really
significant events are the progress of
education, individual liberty, politi-
cal democracy, scientific discovery,
technical arts, invention, economic
prosperity of the common people,
advance of moral ideas. The his
torian may not say much on some Of
these points.
What will be the great events of
1915, as seen by the future histor-
ian? They would hardly be any bat
ties, for these have not been decisive.
The triumphs of armies, candidates,
parties, laws, often seem at the time
to mark a great era and assure hu-
man betterment, yet such hopes Of
ten prove illusory. Real progress is
very intangible, thing of the hu-
man spirit.
1t would seem as if 1915 and it's
events must strongly emphasize one
idea, the value of systematic disci-
plined organization, working in uni
| ty for community ends. Disciplined
unity has enabled Germany to win
marvellous successes. 1t has enabled
France, with its smaller population,
to make a showing that many people
would have thought impossible for
a democratic country. Lack of uni
ty and discipline has made the Eng
lish results Disappointing
This is an idea that applies to the
greatest nation and the smallest will
age alike. Negative criticism des-
troys power. The people who seek
their own advancement, regardless
how such advancement affects the
whole community, defeat their own
lends. They share in the i'll results
of the community inefficiency which
they. do so much to bring about.

Playing Base Ball.

For the past few days number
of the old time base ball players and
fans have been trying their batting
eye out in the G. W. Higgins build
ing in Steyer's opera house block.
The game is called Noxall base ball
fThe batter stands in the front part
of the building inside a net work,
and the balls are shot out Of trap
from the rear of the room. A can
vass in the rear is marked in four
spaces across, home run, three, two
and one base hits. The idea is to
land the ball on any of these spaces
The batter gets nine strikes for
icents.

GOSSIP.

Gossip The very name has mas
ty sound. You'll find her sneaking in
to the stores, the school room, the
churches and societies. You'll find
her masquerading under the name
of friendship. You'll find her leah
ing over the back fence or edging in
between husband and wife. No place
is sacred to her. She blackens the
character OF men and women and
of innocent girls She ruins the ca
reers of young men. Suppose man
or woman is not as you think they
should be. Do you know you are

they believe they should think,

SONS OF THE WEALTHY.
Philip ID. Armour at Work in Chi-
cagO Stock Yards.

Philip d. Armour, third, began
last week his work in the hog pens
of the Chicago stock yards. There
his family's fortune got its start. He
receives no favors, and works like
any slav or Hungarian. He is learn
ing the business from the ground up.
Not every son of wealth thus goes
through the mill. After college he
may get several years of leisurely
and luxurious travel. Then he will
be put to work at some nominal Of
fee position in the business. His
heart is not in big ledgers or month
ly reports, but on the golf links or
|steam yacht. Why should he work.
with no need of earning money?
And if he feels this way, what be-
comes of moral fiber?
The son of wealth who is willing
to take hold in the hog pen must
have good stuff in him. The posses
sion and spending of money can not
wholly satisfy him. Probably he
wants the thrill of doing something
himself, rather than merely takinS
what others hand out to him.
The young Croesus in the mill has
one advantage that is denied the
poor boy. He gets the chance to
learn every department. The poor
boy must do some one task over and
over again. Only by luck. can he
get any broad conception of the in
dustry. This blocks - most men s
path to success.
Much labor friction could disap-
pear if every SON of wealth were
put to work beside the men,. His
father has felt the wearines of harl
labor. He has seen at close range
what life's struggle really means. To
the boy who simply handles checks
and reports and credits, the 1ne-
ichanic is a remote and alien crea
ture. He is mere business. fact.
raw material to be boughtSand sold
like iron and leather. He can't get
his point of view. Phil Armour and

things concerning the working world
that they, ought, to- know about

Arrived Here Fifty Years Ago.

On Tuesday, Dec. 21, Fred Siihring
was citizen of Decorah just half
century, and Decorah has been his
home ever since. He was driven
here overland from Conover, in a
four horse stage, and the driver was
Chas. Peck, the we'll known horse
man, who now lives in Waterloo.
About the first people Mr.. Siihring
met here were Peter Whalen and
the late Thos. Powers, who was a
clerk in the old fremont house. Mr..
Siihring arrived here on Dec. 21,
and on the same date thirty-nine
years ago he was married, so Dec 21,
has double significance for him.
He has been one of Decorahs well
known contractors and builders all
these years, and many of the good
homes and business places of De-
corah were erected by him. He is
still hale and hearty and works at
his trade today in just as competent
a manner as of yore, and we hope
he will be with us many more years
to come.
