thrift in way. 1t is getting what it

BETTING ON ELECTIONS.

lDubuHue
One popular entertainment" is bet
ting on elections. Our lawmakers
those who have the power to say what
Is gambliDg-are themselves subject OF
this practice. The odds" are 10 to 7
against candidate. and large sums OF
money are staked, to win or lose.
Hughes is opposing Wilson for the
presidency. The time and circum-
stances make the election one of the
most significant in the history of the
United States. Yet thousands of dol
lars are being risked in bets on it's out :
come.
1t is not the common gambler who
INDUCES in this practice. He hash,
money enough. Note that the odds are
800 to $40 on Hughes or Wilson, not
81 to 70 cents, or even $40 to 81.
If we call the crap shooter" gam
gler what stronger word have we for
the election bettor? He is the gambler
whom the law tolerates. He Is received
in the good graces of society. He sets ar
example for the youth Of the country.
He is degrading the nation, who uses
our elections for no more serious pur-
pose than gambling. The interest he
has in the progress of his country is
| selfish. 1t cannot be national so LONG
as he thinks of the hundreds of dollars
he may win or lose.
For the good of the nation, this gam
bier should be classed with the rest
Uncle Sam cannot show a clean face
while he let's election bettors go un-
punished.

TO STAMP, OUT HOG CHOLERA.
Des Moines Capital

State and government forces are join
ing hands 10 begin vigorous campaign
against hog cholera in Iowa. A district
of twenty-seven counties contiguous to
Des Moines has been designated in
which the work Of elimination will be
carried on. Later other districts will
be formed until the whole state is COW
cred. Government authorities accom-
plished wonderful results in Dallas
county by means of an intensive cam
paign Of eradication. The death rate
was reduced from one-fourth of the
hogs raised to a little over l per cent
Of the total in two years. a-
Iowa pays toll amounting to mill
lions of dollars as result Of the raw
ages of cholera. If there were the same
relative loss to corn each year it would
be considered a great calamity.
BY means Of proper sanitation of
premises, care and protection of the
stock, and knowledge of how to
handle the disease. the entire state can
be cleansed of this scourge in a few
years. 1t is not expected that as quick
results will be obtained in the twenty
seven counties as in Dallas county. But
with the cooperation of every farmer,
and the assistance of veterinarians and
experts, substantial Roadway can be
made. The veterinarians and the serum
manufacturers have already promised
to do their share.

BRIGHT HEADLIGHT NUISANCE


[keokuk Gate City.1
A Well known citizen stated that
while in his own automobile last night
On a North hill street he was so
blinded by the Caring lights of an
other automobile two blocks away tina.
he had to stop his car and wait till the
other one had passed him. He says the
lights that some automobilists are
using will be the%eause of d serious
accident sooner or later and advocates
the use of DINNER lights, which throw
all the light needed, but do not blind
people.-Burlington H a wkeye.
In Keokul, too. 3Ethere is cause for
complaint because of the glare of pow
erfui searchlights attached 10 automo-
biles. They are a nuisance and dan
ger. There is IS much reason for a
bright searchlight on a car in the
streets of this city as there IS for six
teeninch cannon to be mounted on the
top of the Hotel Iowa. 1t is only o.:
country roads, where ruts may lie in
the way of car that such powerful
lights are called for. And even on
country roads the bright lights ought
to be shut off whenever a car is in the
vicinity of another. for the lights blind
the driver of an approa ching ma chine.
Owners Of car" with overnight ligh:
attachments should use DINNERS while
driving thru the city streets.

BRITISH HELMETS PROVE
 GREAT SAVERS OF LIFE

LONDON, June 1. -- The value of the helmets which are now being sup piled to the British troops at the front is indicated in an article in the current issue of the British Medi- cal Journal, which says that in a big fight where the Britishers were wear ing the new helmets the number of penetrating gunshot wounds of the head was equal to less than Onehalf per cent, and the total number of fractures Of the skull was under one per cent of all injuries. Head wounds have been set down, upon the expert ence of recent wars, as accounting for fifteen per cent of all casualties, and the latest data show that, in trench fights at least, the percentage is as high as 9.
 "The British helmet" the Journal explains, protects the side and back of the neck and the temples and the upper part of the face as well, of course, as the top and sides of the head. It has also a smooth round top. It stands away from the head about one-third of an inch all around, the weight being borne by a padded lea ther band fixed to the inner side of the surrounding steel by a series of india rubber buffers, each about the thickness of a lead pencil, and about one inch long. The detail of construc- tio nconstitutes perhaps the most i'm portant difference between the Brit ish and French helmets. The buff fers are capable of diffusing and neu- tralizing the force of a blow, which, falling on the closely fitted French helmet would be conducted direct to the brain pan"

MANY WOMEN IN FACTORIES 1T
 FRANCE

PARIS, June 1. - The whole mum Der of women employed in intuition making in France, according to the secretary for munitions is 09,300. Of these 26,293 are in state factories. A very large proportion have had to learn their business from the begin ming.
 In other directions the secretary says the branches to which French women have mostly taken are food in dustries, textiles and the metal trades, but many are also working in rubber and sack making
 French women the secretary says, learn very quickly. particularly the use of the smaller machines which in some cases they master in a day; and if, as class, they are not very strong they are, in compensation, very handy. Speaking of the successful way in which the wives of mobilized wholesale and retail merchants, shop keepers and other traders have car ried on their husbands businesses. the secretary explains it by a fact not very generally known abroad.
 "The mobilization of husbands and male relatives" he says, increased the responsibility of the wife without producing any disorder or crisis. One should know, in fact, that the family in France is based on a close cooper ation between husband and wife in industrial and commercial enterprises. As a rule the husband keeps the wife fully informed about his undertakings and looks on her generally as his best adviser. This state of things is one of the great forces of resistance to national disorganization, and has not seldom saved the nation at critical periods of its home and foreign his tory during past centuries"
 After noting that figures show progressive return to the normal con dition of things in agriculture, cattle raising and milk products before the war, the secretary concludes;
 Neither the wealth nor the resist

PREPARING FOR BIG FAIR
 IN LONDON AFTER THE WAR

WINNIPEG, Canada, June 1. - The provincial authorities in Canada are receiving notice that a gigantic in dustrial fair will be held in London soon after the end of the war to bol- ster up Great Britains trade, and all business enterprises of importance in the Dominion are being urged to par. ticipate.
 Plans for carrying out the idea, which originated in England. have been placed with body of men to be known as the Empire Fair Commit tee" Erection of huge auditorium more than three time sthe size of the Olympia, London's largest hall, which seats 10000 persons, is one of the steps contemplated by the fair off cials.
 Several of the British possessions, including Egypt. Australia. New Zea' land and South Africa, already have reserved space, according to the let ter. It is believed that Canada will join with other countries in making the project a success.

LONDON, June 1. - A net gain of $24,25O,00 has been realized by Great Britain from the seizure of enemy ships and their cargoes in the last twenty months of the war according to the record of the prize court The government has captured 157 ships which have been disposed of after de- cision by the prize court as follows:

 There are many more vessels and a large quantity of cargo still before the court. Some idea of the work already done may be gathered from the fact that more than 1000 writs for prize court proceedings have been issued.
 The goods which have been seized and condemned as contraband repre- sent every possible variety, ranging from windmills. tombstones. and hu- man hair to wild animals, which were intended for the Berlin zoo.
