Seasickness is disagreeable malay
which is caused by the stomach losing
it's equilibrium and SO forth. People
do not always miss the equilibrium at

forth.
Seasickness almost always results
from coming in contact with water
which refuses to lie flat. There is
nothing more terrifying than large
body OF water which stands hrst on
one leg and then or the other and
causes the apprehensive tourist to wish
that he had been carried OF by the
numps in early youth. 1t would seem
that science could discover some meth
Cd of preventing the ocean from rising
up and driving inoffensive passengers
away from the table dhote dinner which
was paid for before leaving the dock,
but@it has not been able to do 50. This
teaches US that science Is OF about as
much use to the average citizen as the
interstate commerce commission.
Seasickness usually sets in az soon
as the three mile limit Is passed, ana
dies a lingering death on reaching the
Irish channel. There are several sue
cessful cures for this ailment. however.
and after man has tried them all he
will be in sight of land and will feel
considerably improved. Many person
has started on an ocean voyage relying
upon some cure for seasickness rec

DOWN IN THE IOWA BASEMENT.

While farmers We're seeding tending
and gathering the crops that create big
bank accounts and buy the adjoining
forty and the new automobile last
year and coal miners of the state dug
S1S,5II,000 dollars out of the bowels of
Iowa. About siX-sevenths of this sun
was produced from the mines of five
counties. Monroe, Polk, Appanoose, Lu-
cas- and Marion. Monroe county alone
produced more than 100000 tons OF
coal. Employed in the production Of
this thirteen odd millions of money
were 15,549 men.
But we didn't stop with the coal.

HOW QUICK THOSE WATERS ARE.

Thirty colored walters were en-
ployed by the Chicago Press Club to
serve the banquet given in honor Of
President Wilson on his recent visit.
Trey were It is safe to assume skilled
walters who had worked thru a long

and prosperity and joy. But just as
the guests were to sit down the walters

100 Years Of United States Sugar.

The marvellous growth of the sugar
industry in the United States Is told
in a beautifully illustrated brochure Is
sued BY the American Sugar Refining
Company. The company has made the
payment of the one hundredth dividend
upon its stock the occasion for the bro
chure whose title is "A Century o,
Sugar Refining in the United States"
How extensive have been the changes
in the industry is shown in a COMPARE
son between conditions in 1915 and IN
1916. A century ago the tariff on raw
sugar in the United States was 3 cents
a pound, on loaf or refined sugar II
cents, and its price to the consumer
was about 20 cents pound. Today
about half OF the sugar consumed in
the United States pays no duty. The
brochure says that, despite abnormal
world conditions, the price per pound
of sugar is less in the United States
than in any other country.
In 1915 the total amount of sugar i'm
ported would not run the refners in
this country forty eight hours. Now
more than $50 ships annually dock at
the American Sugar Refining Com
panys refineries and discharge eargoes
totalling nearly 100000 tons. The
yearly output in sugar and syrups
amounts to nearly $4,000 carloads.
The brochure contains many interest
ing facts concerning the establishment
Of the refineries in New York, Brooklyn.

GIVE PUPILS A SQUARE DEAL.
Harrington Gazatte1

The school board Thursday adopted
rule that will be appreciated by the
pupils. in granting two-thirds credits
for the daily record, leaving the other
third to be decided by the written final
examinations. The previous rule was
on a fifty-fifty basis.
The two-third ruling will have the
effect Of making the pupils work hard
er each day and will to a great extent
remove the dread of examinations.
Some pupils fail on examinations be-
cause they are nervous and incapable
Of doing their best work If they
know they are to get better credits for
each days work it will prove stimu-
lus for them to hit the pace, and when
examination times arrives, they will be
better fitted to meet the tests.

A BUSINESS GOVERNOR.

The people of Iowa were fortunate in
securing the consent of Mr.. Meredith
to make the race for governor. He is
a busy citizen. He has built UP sew
eral big enterprises by unfailing eff
tort and square dealing and with prop
err regard to the rights of his employees.
He would apply the same principles to
the business of the state. 1t would be
his ambition to put the state on a bust
mess basis, to see that for every dollar
expended the state would get value re-
ceived. He would appreciate the high
honor of being governor of great
state like Iowa and the responsibilities
of the position would be given the
grave consideration they deserve. He
would be no figurehead, but hustling,
moving force; a keen. active executive
impelled by one motive only-the en-
deavor to give the largest and most
effective service at all times TO all the
people.
The Gazette would urge its readers
to consider carefully these attributes in
a public servant. Put aside petty btck-
ering.s Do not permit the big issues
to be lost sight of in the maze of trifles
that the opposition to Meredith has in
terposed.
Iowa wants a business governor. 1t
has not had one for years. 1t will not
get one if Mr.. Harding is elected. The
is to elect Mr.. Meredith.

JUDGE SALINGBR, A NEW DANGER

For some reason or other the Iowa
general assembly some years ago pro-
vided for the election Of our supreme
judges in bipartisan manner. This
scheme originated with Ben l, Salinser.
who was elected supreme judge as the
result of his own law. The
theory sounds good but ii doesn't work
out in practice. The people generally
havesno opportunity to become familiar
with the qualifications of those who are
mentioned for supreme judge. 1t is not
possible for all the voters to know who
ought to be chosen. This is no i'm
parchment of the intelligence of the
masses. but il is only stating a fact
well known. The masses of people
know the lawyers of their neighbor
hood, but they donot know the lawyers
of the state. This has already served
its purpose by putting Ben Salinger on
the supreme bench. Just what Salinger
has in his mind now the future must
determine. But Judge Salinger is, by
many intelligent men, regarded as
new political danger.
Judge Salinger should be notified by
the intelligent voters of this state to at
tend TO his own business and to keep
his hand off the supreme court. He has
no RICH, to be making a campaign for
anyone to have seat on that bench. II
is quite generally understood that
Judge Salinger is attempting to elect
Judge Theophilus for the office because
at one time they were law partners.
The proposition is plainly before the
people of Iowa. The masses must de-
termine the scope OK Judge Salinger's
influence II he represents anything
he represents invisible government.
The best reply the people can make
will be and should be the reelection OF
Judges Evans and Deemer
