"JIM" GOOD FOR CHAIRMAN.
Congressman May Head National Com
mittee if Cummins Is Nominee.

Especial Correspondence
Washington, Aug. An case Senator
Cummins should get the nomination as
the head Of the republican ticket in 1916
most interesting question will arise
as to who will be the national chair
man.
1t is cellar that if the senator should
be named 1t would be felt by him and
by his friends that some man in SYM
pathy with him should head the COM
mittee. In recent years, it has been the
custom to allow the nominee to have
the say as to who is to manage his
ca npaign.
Some Of the men who are active in
promoting the candidacy of Senator
Cummins have already given thought to
the Craftsmanship. One Of the names
suggested, should Senator Cummins be
the nominee, is Congressman Good, OF
the Fifth district.
1t is learned that the selection of Mr..
Good would be looked on with favor by
some of the men outside of the state
who have been doing earnest work in
behalf of Senator Cummins.
The statement is made in this con-
nection that Mr.. Good is a close friend
of Senator Cummins, is progressive
republican but at the same time is on
good terms personally with all the lead
ing republicans in congress, that he
would be able to work in harmony with
Senator Cummins and that he is an
efficient organizer. Moreover, Mr.. Good
thru his service in congress and other
experience, knows the United States
pretty thoroughly. This is an essential
for good chairman.
1t is plain that Charles d. Hilles, who
conducted the Taft campaign in 1912
to ruinous termination, will not be
allowed to succeed himself.
Congressman Woods is chairman of
the congressional committee and
stranger things have happened than
that in addition to having the republi.
can nominee for president in 1916 the
state of Iowa should also have the ma
tional chairman. 1t is long way I'M
til the republican national convention
next year and it would be idle to say
that Senator Cummins or any other
man has any certain hold on the nomi-
nation for president Nevertheless,
there is increasing recognition of the
fact Senator Cummins must be taken
into serious account.

cholera outbreak is admitted by Veter-
inarians. Sporadic outbreaks are being
reported and state authorities are en-
deavoring to arouse growers to the
necessity of vaccination. The 1919 pig
crop is probably the largest the coun-
try ever has produced, and experience
demonstrates that a swelling porc1ne
population invariably heralds vista

Cattle trade has been over a series OF
bumps recently, many steers being 81
per cwt lower than at the high time
early in January, but this is in the ma
ture of readjustment. as grassers got
out of line at the crest of the rise.
Consumers baked at high cost of beef,
but are now disposed to accept the in
evitable. While prime steers reached
s10.4O per cwt. yesterday, plenty OF
medium and common cattle sold at
$6.506S.25.
The price list now wears seasonable
and more legitimate appearance than
recently and it is probable that sum-
mer stride has been acquired.

A Deem Sea Mascot.

One Of the favorite mascots OF deep
sea fishermen. to which they attach
great importance, Is tiny fiat stone.
or bone, found in the ears Of place and
other fish. The wearer Of one OF these
stones is supposed to be immune to the
danger Of drowning
It is easy to find these stones in the
ears Of fish, although they are no big
ger than split lentil. Anybody who
cares to look for one and to examine
it will see on its surface light and
dark rings. similar to those found on
a larger scale in tree trunks. The
number Of rings tells the age OF the
fish, as new ring appears each year

U. S. OUTSKIRTS ENGLAND.
Auto Manufacturers of America Cater
to Average Man, Not to Rich.

TO average man, INOt 10 r1iStls
London, Aug. 4.-British motor car
manufacturers have catered to the
rich, the American to the average man.
and that is why the British are not
able to compete against the American
cheap car.
This is the conclusion Of writer In
the Westminster Gazette, who puts the
case in these words!
Il foresaw the trouble that was COM
ing from America, and knew that we
could not hold our own against the en-
lightened methods of that country UNI
less we made a determined effort TO
get rid of the effete system which now
makes us look rather silly as an auto
mobile producing country in the eyes
of our competitors across the Atlantic.
THE British manufacturers appeal
has been mainly made to the voluptu-
airy, and he has never seriously en-
deavored to consider the motor car
from the point of view OF the million.
The Autocar. journal devoted to
motoring, asks editorially this week
what will become of the British motor
industry after the war. 1t points out
that every day of the war the Amerl-
can manufacturers become stronger
and stronger and the European weaker
and weaker. Protection is suggested as
remedy. To this the Westminster
critic replies:
THE present trouble has not arisen
out of free trade, nor can it be wholly
cured by protection. 1t is up to British
firms to assert themselves now by
throwing overheard all the wretched
traditions which are holding them back
to abandon the useless practice OF
producing too many models, OF con-
stantly changing them and of selling
them naked and bare, as is done in
innumerable cases, without tires, with
out body and without the score OF
things which they know from ex-
perience the user must Of necessity
| have. The British motor car must be
made and sold as a complete thing
self contained and equipped as nearl:
every American cheap car is equipped
| No American manufacturer OF popu-
lar priced cars, the writer adds
dreams of consulting the buyer about
the size and shape Of the body, the
kind OF lighting plant or self starter
the question of detachable rims ant
the like. The American turns out few
styles and saves in cost by duplica'
| ton.

LIMITS SCOPE OF BLUE Laws.
Street Cars, Eating Houses and Public
Pisces TO Be Exempt.

places TO BE Exempt.
Des Moines, Aug. 4.-There - no
danger that restaurants and Ice cream
parlors will be closed or the street
cars cease operation on Sunday be-
cause OF strict enforcement OF the
Sunday blue laws. according to At
torney General Cosson's opinions Since
the agitation was begun in Des Mofnes
for the enforcement Of the statute pro.
hibiting Sabbath labor, there has been
considerable discussion Of how far the
law would reach.
Attorney General Cosson Oct. 9. 1911,
passed upon this question as follows:
"Referring to the Sunday closing
law, the section in question Is 500 OF
the code which provides that there
shall be no labor on Sunday except
works of necessity and charity. BY
common consent, however. the sale OF
Ice cream. light refreshments and news
papers, the running of street cars and
trains, both steam and interurban, have
been permitted. In a number Of places
there has been a real serious effort
made to enforce the law, however.
against others; that is, against picture
shows and BARRIERS. In some places the
matter failed because the punishment
could not exceed q fine Of IS.
On May 20. 1912. he gave the follow
ing opinion:
your question briefly stated L.,
whether or not the town council has
authority by ordinance to close on
Sunday meat markets and lunch count
ers. Code section 5040 prohibits the
ordinary secular business transactions
on Sunday except those of necessity
and charity. The service of meals by
hotels restaurants and lunch counters
is generally considered to be Of neces-
sity and hence not prohibited by this
state
On July Is. 1911. the attorney gen.
eral ruled express companies violate
the law If they deliver intoxicating
liquor on Sunday. even tho the liquor
be in interstate traffic.

visuALIziNG AN ARMY.
German Writer Tries to Show Dinner
sions Of Troop Movements.

German Writer JrIe8 TO snow O1mOn.
sions Of Troop Movements.
Berlin. Aug. A writer in the Neue
Gesellschaftliche Correspondents has
been trying to visualize to the casual
reader the dimensions Of troops as they
march and fight A German army
corps, he says. consists Of 41.000 men.
$4,000 horses. and 2.400 vehicles. in
Guiding the cannon. Such a body OF
men and their belongings make pro-
cession about thirty miles long on
single road. Even when In pretty close
touch with> the enemy the length OF
corps Is about Is miles; and when
the front detachments become involved
in battle 1t will be five or six hours
before the men in the rear go into ac-
ton to assist them. Before this war
began it was generally assumed that
single corps would occupy about
two and one-half to three miles OF
the fighting line: but in actual ex-
perience it has been found that the
average front of corps is considerably
broader, namely, three and one-f half to
five miles. An army OF ten corps Is
not very large, as armies go in this
war; but even such an army would
fight on a front of some thirty-seven
miles. anu CH6 U1dl WuO uuuSIlOOh "
walk from one wiag to the other would
require twelve to fourteen hours in do
ing Il.
The shipment Of an army corps by
rail is no small undertaking. The troops
alone require sixty-seven trains, while
the artillery. commissary and other
belongings call for forty-one trains
& total of about ITO trains.
The feeding of corps appears to be
a big problem when the matter is
worked out upon the basis of the daily
consumption Of each man and each
horse. The daily average ration Of a
soldier in the German army weighs
about 3.6 pounds, while a horse gets
his thirteen pounds of oats, and the
large draught horses considerably more
These figures work out at $4,000 pounds
Of food for the men and about $4,000
pounds for the horses, as a minimum.
There is thus nearly 100000 pounds Of
provisions to be moved forward every
day, not to mention ammunition.
Under the most favorable conditions.
therefore. it calls for a train of $50
wagons to bring up the food each day.
