DOPE, BOOZE, THE U. 3. AND IOWA

The United States has the dope
question pretty thoroughly corralled.
Even nurse can not register to have
narcotic drugs in her possession ex-
cept under the direction Of a registered
physician. The druggist must record
every content however small, Of a. mar
cotic drug put into prescription and
keep record Of the amount. Dentists
and specialists whose practice requires
minute quantities of those drugs are
permitted to keep record Of the date
when a solution was made and the date
when it was exhausted without record
ing the name Of the patient but physic-
ians in regular practice must keep a
complete record of such drugs dis
pensed in his office with the name Of
the patient to whom administered or
distributed. Druggists are advised that
forged prescriptions will not let them
out. They must be familiar with the
signature and make no plumbers. The
law is as severe as it could we'll be

ment the city and county authorities
and the state authorities will be ig-
nored. The federal statutes will be en-
forced by the federal government. It
will employ inspectors and federal
agents. And nobody, not even the Ce-
dar Rapids Republican Is demanding
that enforcement of this statute shall
be turned over to the city or the coun-
ty or the state.
There are more drunkards than dope
fends, more poverty and crime and
destruction Of youth by booze than by
habit forming drugs. Booze is as
dangerous as dope. 1t gets them"
Just as hard. The man who destroys
his home and himself with booze ac-
complishes the same end and usually

Iowa is as responsible for It's enforce-
ment as the federal government is for
the enforcement OF the dope law or the
internal revenue act.
In all common sense and good judy
ment why is federal agent enforcing

forcing the internal revenue laws diff
ferent from a state agent from the
Iowa department Of justice looking az
ter the enforcement Of the prohibitory

GRLNNELL'S GARDEN CLUB
TCrinnelI ReRister.1

Under the auspices of the Social Ser
vice League, and by the generous CO.
operation OF the superintendent and
teachers of the public schools, the
Grinnell Garden Club has been launch
ed this week. Professor Conard has
told the plan to the pupils Of fifth grade
and above in all the schools, and ev-
cry boy and girl in Grinnell is invited
to become member of the club.
In brief this is the plan announced
for the children's gardens. Everyone
who joins the club signs membership
card This card also tells whether the
member will have a garden at home or
on a vacant lot along. with others OF
the club. Home gardens are prefer
able, especially for younger members.
Members from fifth to seventh grades
will nave plot six by twelve feet:
eighth grade and above will have ten
by fifteen feet, or larger. Anyone may
plant larger garden II desired, and
his work will receive additional credit.
The membership card must be signed
by the parent or guardian and returned
by Monday at latest to the teacher at
! school, along with the membership lee
of ten cents. In about two weeks an
other meeting will be called, when seeds
will be distributed to the members. and
| instructions given for preparing the
garden and planting. An instructor
will meet the members at frequent
tervals all summer, and will visit the
gardens regularly. Exhibits will be
held each month. and the pupils Of each
| grade will compete for prizes and hon.
ors. Thus in each grade there will be
a first prize for radishes, another Tor
lettuce. and others for peas, beans.
beets, nasturtiums, peoples, etc. Each
member will keep a record OF his work
and his results, and credit will be CIV
en- for the record. The prizes will not
be in cash, but rather in things useful
| to a gardener.
| The vacant lot gardens will be man
aged in the same way and by the same
| instructor. The club will also well
come members who enter the National
Corn Club. Potato Club, or Tomato
Club as also those who compete for
the cannery corn contest, or in popcorn
/ growing.
Last years experience showed the
value of gardening for children. Even
i our small plots may Yield, with care,
I three or four dollars worth OF fresh
i vegetables, land flowers all summer
But the best returns are In the gener-
i GUS reward that nature gives to those
who work intelligently. Outdoor life
| is full OF health and II should be en-
4 couraged In every way A garden q
4 the greatest health resort in the world
/ And at the same time It teaches Indus
try and patience and philosophy.

He was first apprised Of the fact that
his wife was on her way to the battle-

was living. The clerk had seen q pic
ture of Mrs. Campbell in Campbell's
rooms He had also seen the moving
picture where Mrs. Campbell was
shown as nurse. and he told the hus-
band Of the remarkable resemblance
between the two pictures.
Campbell went to the Office Of the

THE GOOSE AGE.

Despite what may be said regarding
the foolishness Of his act, 1t is hard
for one not to more or less sympathize
with that imaginative st. Louis boy who
staged the bloody bit Of banditry last
week and now confesses that his ter
rife hand-to-hand encounter with an
automobile full Of outlaws was just
a sample of pure dramatic art.
The average boy would like to be q
hero. Nor is it sufficient TO be real
hero; he yearns to be a movie hero.

Down at Burlington movement has
been started to plant flowers along the
roadsides and make the approaches to
that city blossom as the rose. The
proposition Is that the autoist SOW

to get weeds cut along the roadsides
let alone pertaining the air and de-
lighting the eye with phlox and china
asters. The proposition from Burling-
ton looks good and smells good but
don't forget the road drag.
The Marshalltown club will take the
census of the city unofficially and

faction and as check on the official
count 1t is a good plan. A double
count certainly should be better than
a single one. When the enumerator
calls give him the names Of the whole,

way. A little interest exhibited in
the homes will help out greatly. Let's
count Marshalltown's inhabitants down
to the youngest baby, and the latest
family to move in.
The roads are beginning to dry up
and the road drag should be out and at

WHISKY AND GUNS.

Whisky and revolvers are bad things
when handled separately, but when
they are combined they form a devilish
combination. The man who drinks to
excess, IL always a fool; when he adds
pistol toting to the other vice, he is
doubly a fool and menace to the COM
munity. Burlington has recently had
a taste Of the double dose, and as a
result one young man is dead, slain by
bullet from a revolver In the hands
of his friend, and the other young man
is in Jail, facing trial which may
lead to his imprisonment for the re-
mainder Of his natural life. There is
no need to dwell on this community's
most recent tragedy, due to whisky
and the revolver. It's lesson is obvious.

When the teachers annuity bill

IowA.s NEW HOTELS.
[Des Moines Tribune.]


The most notable ornaments on the
walls in public places these days are
the photographs Of the new hotels in
Iowa.
Iowa has built in the past two years
a dozen or more of the finest hotels
in the west, in cities Of like size
These hotels have come in response
to the new demands of travel, In re-
Spouse to the automobile.
What the automobile has done for
the hotel in the cities it has done for
farm lands in the country. The con-
nection may not be SO easy to trace,
but farm lands have gone up In Just
the same ratio as travel has been
popularized.
But what is the condition precedent
to automatic travel? Good roads.
Is it not strange that while every
city is Dragging about its fine new
hotels, and every land owner about the
boom in land values, nobody seems to
be aroused over the thing that has
brought the change about, nobody
seems to be aroused over the need OF
roads?
The future Of Iowa is future OF
roads.
| Why should we wait until other
states have gotten the lead on us be-
fore we do what everybody knows we
must do.
