the suburbs Of London give graphic ac-
counts Of the manner in which the Yep
pelin--the fourth to be brought down on
English soil-fell a victim to Great
Britan's anti-air craft defences.
Although the Zeppelin crashed to earth
almost due north of London. the spectacle
of the descending blazing mass was wit

The Zeppelin began to descend slowly.
and then dropped fast the blaze from Il

the TEMPER.

The temper Is combustibl0 SUD
stance which at times combusts with
great fury and produces homicide. d.
vorce suits, black eyes and Commissions

been set upon by high temper and
covered with deep aching dents which
had to be attributed to being tripped
up by the coal hod Life is ftln OF such
seh-sacrifice as this, and yet wherever
he goes the married man is revlled and
maligned and labeled az q Grass, calf
bound joke
There are two kinds Of temper
sweet and sour. The former of these
two is to be preferred as 1t does not
shatter so many pre-nuptial dreams
or nose glasses. sweet temper is
more useful in the average home than
the self dumping flour bin. If BRIDE
grooms would look more at the :e'n-
per Of tall, muscular fiancee and
less at the real estate owned by her
father there would be fewer husbands
carrying furtive look and split
lip. A real sweet temper never has
an off day, and is invaluable in IRON
ing out the rough spots and smooth
ing the fur of husband who comes
home with his back arched like
pussy cat.
Sour temper is a disagreeable brand
which can sometimes be cured by
well-earned rest. Overwork and loss
Of sleep are responsible for most OF
the sour temper which now litters up
the domestic hearth. One peculiar
thing about this kind of a temper Is
that it will lie perfectly quiet for
several days, without showing a
spark of vitality, and then II dinner
is delayed for four minutes will ex-
plode with a roar like a blowout In
at 37x5 tire. This accounts for the
wan, pinched look on the faces OF SO

correctly, Of popular sentiment in his
county over the farmers and shippers

tiers. Last week in the Guthrie Center
Times Mr.. Moore writes at length in
DISBURSEMENT of the good roads move
ment protesting against and con-
demning about every suggestion that

ticularly the proposition to bond the
county for the building of permanent
hard surfaced highways Mr.. Moore
says:
The fact is, my friends, that II we
should issue bonds to hard surface the
roads of our county the taxpayers Of
this county will eventually have the
entire amount of the bonds and all the
interest thereon to pay in addition the
upkeep of said roads. And there isn't
a cent of profit in 1t for the taxpayer
except the use of the roads"

proposition presented than the last

Moore's typewriter, except the use Of

won't profit anyone a cent to have a
handsome court house. or a school
building. or church: all we get out of

The News finds itself in complete

voters. and will likely seek reelection.
it Is but fair that the whole matter
should be presented with better logic
and better business forethougf1t.
Simply a play to politics will not help

TINE AND MONEY.

GDes Moines Register and Leaderl
The funded war debt of the coun-
tries Of Europe now amounts to some
thing like 100000 600, while the total
cost of the war. direct and indirect, is
hardly less than three times that
amount.
But what does $4,000, o0o, 600 mean
to us? II this war debt were 10 be
paid at the rate Of 81 per minute,
without interest, the payment would
extend over period Of 57.059 years.
We are totally incapable OF grasp
Ing the significance Of figures which
are set down in the form of a dollar
sign and ten numerals every time con-
gress foots up its bills, or when John
.. Rockefeller strikes a balance.
Had a sinking fund been started in
the year 500 B. G.. and 81 a minute paid
into II from that time to this, the total
would be less than will be spent by
the present congress if the prepared
ness measures go thru.
Mr.. Rockefellers fortune represents
an accumulation Of 81 a minute since
the birth of Christ.
The amount which J. P. Morgan Is
commonly reputed to be making off
the war would be expressed by salary
time of Shakespeare.
This shows something of the vast
stretches Of time which would be
necessary to accumulate some of the
fortunes Of today were they not re-
cruited by means of commissions. in

The startling results obtained from
modern financial methods may be IL

how long 1t would take to pile up Mr..
Rockefeiler's fortune If he received 81
a minute without interest. Suppose
you wished to rival Mr.. Rockefeller, or
the Wilson administration, or any
other person or concern that is notable
either for getting or spending. You
would do better to trust to interest at
the rate of 100 per cent minute, for
Just one hours time, than to try simple
accumulation from the days of the
cavemen.
Specifically, If you had 81 at
o'clock this morning, and made 100
per cent minute on 1t for one hour.
your fortune would amount at FIVE
minute intervals to the following
sums:
At 05 o'clock, s32.
At $40 O'clock, s1,024.
At s:15 o'clock, s32,7ss.
At 500 o'clock, s1,04S.57s.
At 1925 o'clock, 1885,. 432.
At $3.50 o'clock, &10,737,74 1,S32.
That is far enough to carry it in
detail, but at s:34 o'clock You would

1896 o'clock every dollars worth of
personal and real estate on earth would

you would begin to take mortgages on
