A FIG FOR THE FARMERS.

We are all for good roads If the
other man will pay for them, says the
Cedar Rapids Gazette. That is what
all the expert" financiers in this
business are figuring on, how to un-
load the burden of paying for the
roads on the next man, or the next
generation. Men sit in comfortable
chairs and figure out how it can be
done, by bonding or otherwise, but
they forget themselves and their
pocket books in their figuring-their
main concern just now is how they
can make the farmer believe that he
can pay for the good roads without
feeling it, Instead of taking the
pound of flesh today, they will silver
OF an ounce on each of sixteen days,
or years.
But when we come to build the
good roads, we will all have to get
into the game. The folks in the coun-
try are not going to do all the paying,
since the folks in the cities do about
half OF the driving over the roads. II
the folks in the cities did not have
their automobiles a fig it is they
would care whether the farmer could
set mis- grain to rarket or not.
1t isn't the farmers needs that
most city folks are the most concern
ed about, but it is their own pleasure
In riding in upholstered cars that
worries them most.

NO DIRTY LINEN IN IOWA.
State Takes Rank With First Fifteen
Cleanest States i'm Union.

Iowa takes rank with the first fif-
teen cleanest states in the union.
There is very little dirty linen in
Iowa, If the figures of the bureau OF
census on steam laundries, Just is
sued, are to be believed.
The figures compiled in the census
OF 1914, made public concern only
laundries of the largest cities in
Iowa. Figures for 1909 also are
shown to illustrate the advance in
the industry.
Des Moines laundries, Of course,
exceed in numer and in business
done, all laundries in the state, with
Sioux City second in number OF
= l2nts and employees, and Cedar
Rapids close third with seven
plants, employing total of 210 per-
sons. Waterloos industries during
the period of five years from 1909
to 1914, made the greatest gain, in
creasing from three to five plants,
with an accompanying increase in
employees from ia to 1S4, and an
increase in capital invested from
S3S,243 in 1909 to $1l2,4S4 in 1914.
Wages paid have likewise doubled,
and the amoun. received for work
done has advanced from $95, ,69i in
1909 to S202,OGS in 1914.

1875 AUTOMOBILES II
WINNESHIEK
Only Five States in the Union Boasts
of More Cars Than Iowa,
New York i'm Lead.

There are 50S,677 more automo-
biles in use today than there were
on January /, 1916. There are over
100000 automobiles in use in the
United States today including both
passenger cars and trucks. Such are
the statements made by Donald Nc
Leod Lay in recent issue of THE
Automobile. Mr.. Lays article in
part reads as follows:
Between January / and June 80,
1915, the increase which had taken
place was not far short of the total
increase for the whole year of 1915.
There are now three states having
over 100000 cars apiece, New York
Ohio and Illinois, whereas on Jan.
of this var only New York had as
many as this. Eleven states have
: over 100000 machines each, Mime
sofa, Massachusetts, Indiana and
Texas having passed into this class
since Jan. 1.
In thinking of these big figures it
must not be forgotten that the in
dustry has been producing a good
many more cars than those absorbed
in the United States. Since Jan.
the exports have totaled 43,265.

Total

Taking up few exact figures, the
total registrations July 1, 1916, were
2,932,455 cars and trucks. The larg-
est state registration, that of New
York, was 259,105. Ohio, taking
second place for the first time, had
20S,705, and Illinois 203,757. New
York now holds the place at the head
of the list by margin of $4,000
registrations. The bottom of the
list is occupied by Nevada with $500
cars, but Nevada ranks fourteenth in
the tabuluation showing the number
of people per car, New York taking
the twentyreighth place in this list.
Iowa has a motor vehicle now for
each 13 people, California one to
each / 5 people, and Nebraska one to
each 16, while New York has as
many as 80 inhabitants to every car.
A striking feature brought out by
a comparison of the registration sta
tistics OF July l and those recorded
at the first of the year is the constant
increase which indicates the stability
and normal progress of the automo-
bile industry. The average increase
in registration in the United States
for the entire year of 1915 was 1915
per cent; for six months of 1916 the
average is 21 per cent, or approx
mately 40 per cent on yearly basis,
since the registration tapers off to
some extent during the last six
months of the year.
Iowa, big farming state, has

Fort Dodge, Ia, Aug. 27.-Times
have changed for William Jennings
Bryan. He received check foI
$149.5O for his lecture given at the
Chautauqua grounds Thursday after
noon. Last year he got $510.
There was something lacking in
Mr.. Bryan's appearance.
There were no farmers leaving
their work and driving for miles,
there were no closed stores, nc
crowded street cars and jammed
tent.
Bryan day was just any old day.

front rank in motor vehicle registra-
tions for the past five years, and dur
ing the first six months of 1916
shows an increase of 1880, or more
than the entire number of registra-
tions at the end of 1911, when the
state boasted of 27,936 automobiles.
