LOSE 100000
IN AUTO FEES
Auto Highway Promoter Says Each
Iowa County Is Losing $1,000
Yearly.

Each county in Iowa would have
a thousand dollars more OF the motor
vehicle fund today to spend for high
way Improvement, IL the yiOlators OF
the motor vehicle license law were
brought to justice and made to pay
into this fund, what is lawfully due
1t.
That is the declaration OF Robert
N Carson Of Iowa City, good roads
enthusiast and auto highway promot-
er, who goes on to explain:
"There are at least 10000 motor
cars including motor trucks that will
pperate at a speed of over II miles
per hour which are getting by with
out paying the license fee.
LET us see what this amounts to
in dollars and cents Ten thousand
cars at approximately $40 license
each. would total 100000.
How is the law being violated? BY
a number of owners OF cars who have
not renewed their 1915 license. BY
large percentage of cars carrying
dealers numbers-many of these car
rying but one tag, either front or
rear. By many cars carrying but one
license number either rear or front
and handing the other number to
some other car OWHeI NAMING oAo
license number cover two cars. BY
some of the taxi cabs carrying a
dealers number. BY any number or
cars carrying no number either front
or rear.
"The states attorneys office say
they are too busy with other matters
to check up these violators. They say
It is the duty of county attorneys to
see to all violations. The county at
torney passes you along with some
other Indifferent excuse, and there
you are.
some of those who make the
strongest complaints about poor
roads are those who have not paid up
their motor license or are lodging
the law in some of the aforesaid
WAYS. Here is approximately $780, 900
that should be in the motor vehicle
fund that is not there"
Wherefore Mr.. Carson asks the
pertinent question:
'sWho is going to see to 1t that all
car owners are treated equal with re-
gard to collection OF motor car
taxes?"

the deed proved valueless. The stock
was in turn sold by the defendants,
he claims.
The complaint was filed with the
states attorney some weeks ago, but
It was necessary to obtain requisition
parc1s before the two men could be
taken from Illinois to this county for
trial The papers were secured
through request from Governor
Clarke of Iowa to Governor E. F..
Dunno Of Illinois. Deputy Sheriff
Watkins went to Springfield after the
papers and returning to Carthage
found that the two men we're in that
city. He arrested them and brought
them to Fort Madison.
Treuthart is non-comittal on the
matter while Merrill insists some
what emphatically that he had moth
ing to do with the alleged transaction.
The two men conduct store at
Stillwell and one at Carthage and
their arrest created much interest in
Carthage. Both of the msn deny any
intent to swindle Marshall.

SPEAKING OF THE WEATHER

SPEAKING OF THE WEATHER.
When it's hot and still heating
Everything sizzling stew
Then some fellows sure to ask you
is it hot enough for you?"
Tho the mercury's one hundred
Or perhaps one hundred two
Still this chap delights to ask YOU
SIS it hot enough for your
Every day he asks this question
Information what he wants
But at length it seems to jar us
And his question rather taunts.
Then 1t is we'd like to send him
Where the stokers stoke their fires
There to talk about the weather
AS he very much perspires.
Send him to the bakers oven
Where are baked dyspepsia pies;
Then no doubt he'll get his answer
AS he sizzles-bakest and fries.
Still it seems we all are guilty
Anyhow there are but few
Who omit the foolish question,
1T it hot enough for you?"

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alllali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain null
sihed cocoanut oil, for it is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is ali

Nope. 1t isn't wireless and the
moan Of the waves on the beach. This
Is not moving picture scenario of a
ship in distress. It's picture of
thirsty Keokuk this sizzling weather,
stranded on the bar.
II you don't believe Keokuk is
drinking hard, note the wilted condi-
ton OF the white coats worn by the
soda fountain clerks and see how the
price OF lemons has scared since the
sta1d old thermometer got notion
it was a Zeppelin.
Not in fifteen years, according to
estimates of purveyors of liquid re-
freshment has Keokuk consumed SO
much ice water, iced tea, lemonade,
lnd kindred beverages. Soda fountain
clerks are getting worn to a fragile
waiting on, the thirsty populace.
Because of the unprecedented de-
mand for lemons since the heat wave
started, the price has advanced from
twenty to thirty cents a dozen within
the last month, an advance of 33 1-3
per cent, according to a leading groc-
cry house.
And the soda fountains!
The sizz of the soda, the clank OF
the glasses slapped down on the moist
counter can be heard until well onto
midnight.

and
"Now femme pay for it. This is my
treat" are getting to be regular. bro

Good old-fashioned lemonade and

ISOLDE" are the rocks of refuge to
which Keokuk has come back in this
trying period. Last summer, say, the
soda fountain men, people were in
clined to try the new drinks and fancy
sundaes, but this year, when man
has almost reached his limit OF en-
durance, his collar wilted, his temper
twisted, he sinks down on spindly
legged stool beneath a revolving fan
and gasps: Lemonade"
The women still cling to the fancy
sundaes and ices, iced teas and iced
coffees. But the man who patronizes
soft drink store takes his lemonade
or limeade, COCO cola, root beer and
his chocolate ice cream soda. Ginger
ale is quite favorite, too.
"Gee," said a white-aproned clerk
"I feel like a merry-go-round. For the
past three weeks I've been whirl1nf

On the chemical analysis, which is

whether or not informations will be

If Presto or Temp Brew are found

ing can be done. If the analysis re-
veals beer in any of the kegs, then
the owners of these will have informa-
tions filed against them for illegal
sale of liquor. The procedure in these
cases will be slightly different than
in those of the alleged bootleggers,
arrested in the previous raids, for the
places raided are listed as soft drink
establishments, and according to the
Interpretation of Chief Hennmann, the
finding Of beer at any Of them is evil

To say that the meeting yesterday with Mrs. Colvin was of unusual in- terest and spirit but mildly expresses it. The business session was lively and the program unexcelled for eX- cellence.
 Expressions of regret were many that Nevada county went for the "Pot Liquor' candidate for Governor, in- stead of for a christian gentleman. Better sentiment was believed to exist among the citizenship than that and a call will be made to the clergy and the teachers over the county to help redeem the county from such a stigma by holding more temperance meet ings, preaching more temperance ser mons and lining up the splendid young people of the various communities, especially of the churches and schools and Sunday schools.
 We are too prone to think that everybody knows as much as we do about the good that comes from pro hibition, and of the evil effects of liquor on body, state and nation, and so we sit supinely down and allow the enemy to SOW tares and gather a consequent harvest. Let us do bet ter. We can and We must. All the argument is on the temperance side. Let us give it to the people They will eagerly respond when once given the light.
