The increase of percentage has been

of the state, distinguished from
those born under other flags, num-
bers 2.O93,S97. Practically three
fourths of these native Americans are
Iowa born, and one-fourth born IN
other states Of the union. The ma
tive born now number 1873 percent
of the entire population.
'"The foreign born comprises Ills
percent of the whole. That is 81 per-
cent less than the proportion in the
United States. Twenty-Five years ago
the Iowa proportion was 1863 percent.
From earliest times Iowa drew heav-
iIy on the older states and 1t was
never possible for the foreign born
contingent to catch up with the pro.
cession. There is no corner, nor Sec
ton, nor belt Of Iowa distinctly

Outside Of the south the only states
in the union with a smaller proper
ton of foreign born than Iowa are
Indiana, Kansas and Missouri. If
place OF birth is the test Iowa is
among the most American Of all the

LEGAL POSTAL
SAVINGS DEPOSIT
Amendment Makes Il Possible TO Ac
eumuiate 81 900 Instead Of
$500 as Heretofore.

The following bulletin on postal
savings has been received through
the local postofhce:
Larger postal savings deposits will
now be accepted at the postofice.
This is made possible by an import
ant amendment to the postal savings
act just approved by President Will
son. A postal savings depositor may
now have an account amounting to
81 900 upon which interest will be
paid Formerly $500 was the max
imum amount he could have to his
credit This enlargement Of postal
savings facilities will be very graft
flying to thousands of depositors who
have already reached the old $500
limit and are anxious to entrust
more OF their savings to Uncle Sam.
Another feature of the amendment
ment to the public and to postal Of
ficials is the doing away with the
limit on the amount that could be
accepted from a depositor monthly.
Under the old law only 500 could be
deposited in a calendar month. The
amendment abolishes this restriction.
While the postal savings system has
already proved q signal success as Is
shown by the fact that more than
half a million depositors have over
eighty million dollars standing to
their credit, still it has fallen short
! Of meeting the full demands OF the
public because OF the restrictions
which have now been eliminated.
Postmaster General Burleson and
Third Assistant Postmaster General
I Dockery have been tireless in their
efforts to secure a modification of the
limitations and the new liberalizing
legislation is particularly gratifying
to them.

SUFFRAGE SURE TO
WIN, EDITOR SAYS
Alex Miller Thinks Issue Will be
Sustained and Gives Some
Good Reasons.

Alex Miller, in his paper has the
FOLLOWING suffrage editorial:
There is not much question in our
mind that suffrage in Iowa will carry
at the juno primary, and yet. 1t may
not be amiss to call attention to a
few things, that seem to us pertinent,
IN favor Of suffrage.
There are 4 lot Of things that
women cannot do, but ought they on
that account to be kept from the
ballot?
There are a lot Of things men can
not do, and yet, they do not care to
give up the right to vote.
The suffrage speakers that have
been here, have answered all the
arguments of the anttsuffragists, but
"a repetition of a few Of them, may
not be out OF place. The fact that
some women do not want to vote, Is
too silly to notice, since many men
do not care to vote. Every man who
has taken an interest In politics
knows that you always have a lot of
bonehead men, whom you have to
drive. or cuss, or haul to the polls,
yet nobody thinks we ought to quit
voting.
They say only the bad women real
ly will vote, but that also, is unfair
and lopsided and unworthy of atten-
ton. We might call attention to the
fact that bad. men also vote, but no
more in proportion OF bad women
will vote than bad men, especially
since there are ten bad men to one
bad woman. In Fort Madison, there
are perhaps 500 men, and not fifty
women. Maybe the women are at

home and persuade your neighbor to
Go the same. keokuk residents are
approaching more and more the ad-

Bad eoys.

Kansas City Star: Aren't most bad
boys really good at heart, after all?
This paper had story last week
about 1858 young men who had
been trained in the reformatories and
industrial schools for bad boys in
England who had shown the heoric
spirit in the war. Many had been
killed in action, many more wounded,
many had been honored in different
ways, with the Victoria cross, dis
tinguished conduct medals, decora-
tons and so on, and in the. entire
number there was not a coward nor
a shirker of his duty. Every man
of them had qualified for the roll OF
honor.
And yet each one of these nearly
10000 men had been arrested, prose
cuted. convicted, sentenced and had
served his time as bad boy in re-
formatory.
No one who knows what reform
atories" are will pretend that they
had much to do with reforming the
boys. The more plausible thing to
believe is that the boys were not
very bad to begin with. Their en-
ergies had been misdirected, and
when the opportunity came to DO
something worthy they rose to 1t.
The worst attitude that can be as
guned toward a wayward boy Is one
of nagging and bounding and OF
persecution. Be patient with MIN.
Search his heart for qualities OF
goodness and you'll find them. they
are there. always

SHOW IOWA
IS AMERICAN STATE
Eiuhty-five Percent Of Residents are
Born In the united
States.

A million persons born in Iowa are
now living in other states, according
to Ora Williams, state document edi-
tor Of the census, who addressed the
Commercial club at Iowa City on the
subject Of Iowa's population. But
there are over a million and half
of Iowa born people who are con-
tributing of their genius and their
strength to make their native state
not the biggest nor the wealthiest
but the best state in which to make
and keep a home, Mr.. Williams said.
For every two of the ex-patriates
who have gone to seek a good place
to die there are three who have re-
manned because Iowa is the best
place in which to live" he declared.
THE actual number Of Iowa born
persons in Iowa is 1851 ,914. That is
more than three-fifths Of the total

Anamosa, in which case, the rule

They say politics is too vile, Tor
pure womanhood to take part in, yet
nobody ever suggested that women
were too pure and high and holy to
nurse men shot to pieces in war, or
sick and dying from vile ailments,
or to care for drunken men and
worthless SONS.
To say they do not know enough
to vote, is disproved every time the
women do vote. At our last school
election, the men spoiled 81 ballots
and the women IL. And on all ques-
lions of morals, or on questions at
fecting the children, women will vote
on the side of health, humanity and
home. Women will intuitively vote
the right way. And then, over and
above everything else, women ought
to vote, because it is their right, the
same as it is the mems. And if they
do not win the ballot this time. they
will keep right on till they do win.
Votes for women is just like. tenn

COUNTY ATTORNEYS
COLLECTING FUNDS
Delinquent Auto Fees for 1915 Are
Being Looked After by
Many Officials.

County attorneys in many Of the
iowa counties are using the big stick
on automobile owners who are opeT-
attng cars without 1916 number
plates. One official yesterday re-
ported 10 the state department the
collection OF fees from ten delinquent
car owners. The county attorney Is
entitled 20 10 per cent Of the delin-
qae2t tess collected.
Ii every county there are a few
owners VINO have failed TO register
their machines for 1916 and are still
operating with 1915 number plates
1T is the duty OF the county attorney
to begin action against these car
owners, the officials say.
On April 1. the law placed a pen
atty of 10 per cent on car owners
WHO failed to register cars for this
resr before that date. On May l an

or. 1t would have been hard to let
them down If 1t had been wished, so
dense was the crowd. Out in the
street the scene was extraordinary. An
assemblage of not less than 100000
people was waiting. The close packed
throng extended from the other side of
the Langham hotel to Oxford circus,
A ronr of reclamation greeted the four

the crowd set forth, taking the route
Of Regent street. Pail Mall, st. James
street and Piccadilly. The whole cen
tral traffic of London was held up, and
the demonstrators upon the one side
and the police and taxi cabmen upon
the other. Finally 1t was not until
after midnight that the four travellers
were released at the entrance to Lord

One word as to the fate of the London
pterodactyl. Nothing can be said to be
certain upon this point. There Is the
evidence of two frightened women that
it perched upon the roof of the Queens
hall and remained there like a diaboli-
cal statue for some hours. The next
day 1t came out in the evening papers
that Private Miles of the Coldstream
guards. on duty outside Marlborough
House, had deserted his post without
leave and was therefore courtmartial-
ed. Private Miles account that he
dropped his rifle and took to his heels
down the mall because on looking up
he had suddenly seen the devil between
him and the moon, was not accepted by
the court, and yet 1t may have a direct
bearing upon the point at issue. The
only other evidence which | can adduce
is from the log of the steamship Fries
land. a Dutch-American liner. which
asserts that at 0 next morning, Starr
Point being at the time ten miles upon
their star6oaId quarter, they were
passed by something between a flying
goat and a monstrous bat, which was
heading at a prodigious pace south and

No doubt that is sound and
wholesome advice that should be
considered by the class to whom
lit was addressed, and it applies
with equal force to Southeast

splendid Kansas counties OF
Morton and Stanton. The writ

soundness of your judgement

overcome crop failures due to

supply of moisture until needed
