After trying everything nothing

and he gained in weight so that he

DON'T LIKE THE IDEA.

Pella Chronicle: We note that con-
ferences of ministers in various places
said to represent thousands of church
members, are passing resolutions con
demning the candidacy of w. L. Hard
ing for Governor, and declaring for Z.
T, Meredith. Although the Chronicle
devoutly hopes e. T. Meredith may
be elected, we are very sorry
to learn that responsible Representative
es of religious organizations are TAX
ing this action in an official manner.
II is quite a different thing for a min
lister as citizen to support Meredith
and oppose Harding because of the
Cnfavorable record of the latter on
the saloon question and for the same
minister to vote for these resolutions
in an ecclesiastical council In the
first case he is exercising his right as
a man, while in the second he is US
ing his influence and authority as a
spiritual leader in a realm that should
be kept separate from that of his cal
ling. In the United States of America,
church and state should and must be
kept forever separate. The action of
these ministers canont be excused by
the merits of the cause at issue.

AuToMosILIsTs AND ROADS

| Ninety per cent of the registration
and license fees paid in 1915 by auto
mobilists to the States, of $16,213,3S7,
was spent for the building and main
tenance of county and State roads, &C
Icording to a compilation just published
by the Office of Public Roads, U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture In all, 2,445,-
664 motor vehicles were registered in
that year and their owners paid a to-
tai of $18,245.713 for registrations and
drivers and dealers licenses. This is
an increase of $5,S63. 100 over 1914,
and an increase of 734.325 in the mum.
Der of vehicles registered. Automobile
fees now defray nearly per cent of
the total amount on rural road and
bridge building, whereas in 1906 the
income from this source was less than
three-tenths of / per cent of the total
expenditure. ...
and registrations is noted by the fact
that in 1901 New York. the first State
to require fees, collected only 1854.
In 1906 only $4,000 cars were regis
tered throughout the entire United
States. BY 1915. however, the number
had jumped to the figure given. so that
is slightly more than one motor car
registered for each of the 2,375
miles of road outside of the incorpora-
ted towns and cities.
The relation between cars and road
mileage varies widely in different sec
tons. There is only one motor car for
every six miles of rural road in Ne.
yada, but nearly six motor cars for
every mile of such road in New Jer-
sey. There is an average of one motor
car registration for every forty-four
persons in the United States, Iowa
leads however, with one motor car
for every 16 persons, while only one
for every two hundred persons is reg
istered for Alabama
In the number of registrations New
York State led in 1915 with 255, 242;
Illinois was second with 180,S32; Gel.
ifornia third with 1897; and Penn.
sylyania fourth with 160,137. In gross
revenues received from this source.
however, California led with $2,027,
1872; New York was second with ST.. (

e65.276; while Iowa. with $4,000 cars
registered came fourth in point of re-
venue with $1.533.054.

MEN OE MILITARY AGE.

How many able bodied citizens of
military age have we in the United
States? -..
The Bureau of the Census, while it
lis unable to make any estimate of the
proportion who are able bodied, esti-
ate that the total number of male
Icitizens and prospective citizens-that
is, foreign born persons who have de-
Iclared their intentions to become citi-
zens-1S to As years of age, inclusive,
lis not far from 21000,000. ..
This estimate is based on the as
sumption that there has been an in.
crease of approximately 10 per cent in
the population of the country since
the census of 1910. When that census
was taken the total number of male
citizens and prospective citizens, IS
years of age and over but Under as,
was 9,1S3 900 OF this number, 14,224,-
900 were native whites, 1857 900 were
foreign born whites who had become
naturaliZed or had declared their in
tention of doing so, 2,O52,000 were Ne.
groes, and $4,000 were Indians. The
number of foreign born citizens is par
TALLY an estimate, since the census
enumerators were able to obtain in
formation as to citizenship from only
about seveneighths of the total num-
Der of foreign-born males. Native
whites thus represent about IA per
cent of the total, foreign-born whites
nearly Is per cent, Negroes nearly IL
per cent, and Indians about three
tenths of per cent.
During the Civil War, when the pop
ulation of the country, exclusive of the
seeding states, was less than one
fourth as great as the present popula.
ton OF the entire United States, the
total number of men serving in the
Federal armies at one time and ans
other was approximately 100000
(due allowance being made for dull
cate enlistments. that is, cases in
which men enlisted more than once).

SHARED $500 SHEEP
Ben Wilson Claims the Marion Coun.
ty Champioush p.

Knoxville Journal: Ben Wilson, the
odd reliable sheep-shearer," probably
the oldest member of the fraternity in
this part of the state, has clipped the
wool from the backs of over $500 of
the frowsy money-makers since the
opening of the season in April. He is
not sure that his record is a county
beaten, but we are willing to claim the
title for him for the sake of argument.
Mr.. Wilson has been shearing sheep
in this section ever ,sincesthe big prair-
lie fires ruined the blue stem grass, and
during all these years has. never found
the local wool industry in more flour
ishing condition. The crop" is excep-
large and the wool of fine
quality. The fieeces run on general
average from six to eighteen pounds
In weight. However, he has taken sew.
eral fieeces this year that weighed
above twenty-five pounds each, and
one, that from Delaine ram belong
Ing to Sine Graves that weighed slight
ly over thirty-two pounds. The ram is
two years old and the fleece was com
paratively clean, at least Mr. Wilson

know when they are whipped" Mr..
Walton and Will Broerman could see
success through stone wall, and with
ia corps of excellent helpers they went
on and on until the present splendid
organization was formed, and fair
promoted that will make Oskaloosca
famous.
And now there are those who say,
we cannot raise the money for Penn
College. But if these people would at
tend the meeting of 100 workers some
day at ldhchhnSat stiS74 Methodist
church, they would get a vision that
would do their souls good, and that
would open their purses to a greater
gift for the futAre. No other thing
fcould mean as much to Oskaloosa Ias
Penn College. And we must not only
save it, but help to make it greater.
|. While there's no connection between
the Fair and the College, and while the
enterprises are headed in different di-
'rections, both are complementary and
essential to the welfare of the COM
immunity. Both have their uses and both
will help in the upbuilding of the bet
ter instincts and purposes of our
people. .e....
Let us then to the labor of building
in a way that our children will be
proud of our works. Let us make the
word Oskaloosa synonymous with all
that is higher and better in life. Let us
make the city the intellectual and pro-
gressive flower garden of the great
state of Iowa. We can do it. All we
need is your good will and your sub
scription. Do not fail us now.

The FISHING INDUSTRY.

Fish are distributed by the. Bureau
of Fisheries in every state of the un-
ion, some 10000 individual applications
being filed annually in addition to
the large public plants of the so-called
commercial species in the Great Lakes
and coastal streams of the seaboards.
This phase of the bureaus work has
grown to enormous proportions, and
in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915,
forty-nine species were propagated,
these including, in additions to fishes,
the lobster and several species of eco
nomical valuable freshwater mussels.
The total output of these was over four
and half billions, which we're planted
in every state and Alaska. Some idea
of the magnitude of the work of dis
tributing fish is indicated by the fact
that it involved 637,716 miles of travel
of which 146,544 was by the bureaus
special cars and the remainder by car
messengers. These marine and fresh
water fishes and invertebrates were
collected and Matched by 40 stations
an 95 substations located in 81 states
and Alaska In addition S,404,000 food
and game fishes were rescued from oV-
erflOwed lands and returned in safety
to the streams; otherwise they would
have persisted in the temporary ponds
left by the receding waters.
Solely by reason of these tish.cul-
tural operations and similar activities
on the part of the states, the supply
of trout and of other game and food
fishes in streams and small lakes is
being maintained and increased, the
whitefish of the Great Lakes is holding
it's own, the shad, in certain waters is
being saved from extinction, and the
effects of exhaustive fisheries for the
Pacific salmon and certain marine
fishes are being offset AS result OF
transplanting, the Atlantic shad and
striped bass are abundant on the Pa
cifc coast, and the former are being
shipped back in large numbers to
supply the markets of the East. Ger
tain depleted salmon rivers of Maine
recently have ben planted with hump
back salmon from the Pacific coast and
small runs Of breeding fish already
have appeared in several of these
streams. indicating that the nearly eX-
terminated Atlantic salmon may be
replaced by a worthy successor, better
able to cope with the new conditions
in the streams incident to industrial
