EACH COUNTY GETS SLICE
State Cuts Another Juicy Auto Tax
Melon and Every Township in State
Will Receive S151--Money Not Equal
ly Distributed Based on Autos in Use.

Des Moines, Aug. 1.-THE state
treasurer is preparing to send out war
rants to the ninety-nine counties for
the sums they are entitled to in the
second distribution Of the automobile
registration fund for 1916. Each coun-
ty will receive S151 for every town
ship. The total amount to be dis
tributed is S250.000.
They counties for 1916 get sl,4071SS
from the auto fund. The total re-
ceived in 1915 was s1,13I76S. The in
crease is due to the fact that Iowa now
has $4,000 automobiles registered
while the number of cars registered
for the entire twelve months last year
was 10000.
Rush Early in Year.
Quincy A. Willis, deputy treasurer
of state, on April /. cut the first melon
for the counties. At that time s1,157.-
i5S was distributed. For the sam g
period in 1915 the state distributed
$693,346. The new registration law
went into effect Jan. l. 1916 requiring
all old cars to be registered before
April l. or be subject to penalties
which increased monthly. This result
ed in a rush of registration in the first
three months Of this year. increasing
the receipts Of the depa rtment for that
period to an unusual degree.
The melon cut now is made up OF
fees received since April 1. 1t totals
$25O,00O. This sum does not contain
large amount Of penalties as most
of the owners of old cars avoided the
extra tax by renewing registration
within the time limit.
Goes to Townships.
Iowa has 1,646 townships. Each
county receives it's share Of the auto
fund in accordance with the number
of civil townships within the county.
Thus county with a small number
of autos but large number Of town
ships may receive a big slice OF the
melon, while a county with many
autos and few townships may get only
small portion. The money goes into
the road fund in each county. 1t is
distributed so as to be available for
the seasons work.
Last April Polk county received
$15,466 as it's share Of the auto fund.
1t will receive s3,322 for the second
distribution, making d total of $1S,7SS
Cor the year.

4 Eldora. Aug. 2. Eldora, not unlike a
great many cities over the state, is
wrestling with the. problem of how to
do away with the cottonwood tree
nuisance. This tree has the disagree
able way of shedding its cotton all
over the neighborhood and littering UP;
lawns, flower gardens and house tops,
with feathery accumulation, much
to the disturbance of citizens WHIP Sn-'
sist on order and cleanliness. 1t is not,
generally known, however, that the fe-
male cottonwood tree is the offender
in the emitting Of this disagreeable
substance. In the early days of Eldora
the pioneers planted the cottonwood
because of its quick growth and Its.
hardness. Many, Of these trees today,
are giant monarchs and city councils
and citizens have hesitated to destroy
them because of their association with
Inc early d. days However, since It has,
been established that the female tree,
is the offender in spreading its filmy
substance at, about this season Of the
year, that many of these reminders.

She Parted With Her Parrot.
The nice old lady in mourning stood
Petshop, caressing an alert looking
gray parrot. The parrot responded to
her caresses as parrots do, with rubs
Of his head, with awkward, uncertain
biting of her fingers, and with uncouth
squawks.
%"You will see that he gets a good
homer" she, said. Plenty of green
feed every day.
II will see to 1t, Madame" he said,
and there was a. sense Of emotion
underneath his Partisan politeness.
"Adieu, Coco" she said: and she
gently transferred him from her fin
ger to the finger Of the petshop man.
The parrot gave the preliminary
squawk Of his kind, then responded
in excellent voice and articulation:
"Bonjour, Maman."
whereupon the old lady turned and
sped as fast as her feet would carry
her out Of the shop.

it is a famous talker, and can whistle
three tunes. The son, he is dead at

voice Of the dead-you see? Listen!"
For Coco had started his gurgle, pre-
liminary to speaking.
"where are my shoes. Maman?" he
said.
How would you like it." began
the petshop man. Then he stopped
dead. For the jeweler had turned and
was looking out Of the window. And
he wore a crepe band about his left
arm. ~
