SAFETY FIRST IN ETHICS

Is there nothing to be said about
Safety First in realms other than the
material? The individual who is care
full and who avoids an accident minis
ters to his own good; If he carries life
insurance and lives a year longer
through failure to be reckless, he low
ers the cost of insurance to every pol
icy holder in his company; il he
spares public service corporation the
necessity of settling with his executors,
he increases the fund available for bet
terments or for dividends. This is all

very much of the earth, earthly, and
of finance, financial.
How about the man who is tempted
to take the first glass? Safety First
would stay his hand and close his lips
forever to the stuff that steals mems
brains and that leaves the empty shell
to crumple into a forgotten grave.

YOUNG PEOPLES RECITAL.

Elm Church lEridax lEuaninn

Pleasing Entertainment is Given at
Elm Church Friday Evening.
Those who braved the thermal ter
rors of Friday evening indoors and at
tended the recital in the Elm Luth-
eran church were repaid in large
measure by the muscianly presenta-
ton Of an attractive program. Miss
Emma Boyd and Miss Clara Tokheim
are two talented young women of
Story City, whose musical work has
been enjoyed before in Marshalltown.
They have this year been graduated
with honor at the Cincinnati Conser-
vatory of Music.
Miss Boyd gave an evidence Of con-
siderable dramatic power, artistical-
ly repressed in her presentation of
two arias of Puccini, which were part
of her program. one from La
Boheme' and one from La Tosca."
All her numbers were well done with
fine appreciation Of the tone-poet's
meaning, notably the Grieg number.
EN- Droem," and they were eloquent
of her musical versatility too.
Miss Tokheim was heard in two
piano solos, works Of GODDARD and
Schumann, and her work was good.
She also played the accompaniment
for Miss Boyd.
Miss Lu Verne Christeson was
admirable at the piano in a Schubert
number, the "Impromptu.' Elmer
Eige sang a solo. accompanied by
Miss Christeson. and Morris Whit
aker played a Chopin number on the
piano. Cara Brown had been ex-
pected to give two readings. but he
was afflicted with tonsilitis during
the day and his place on the clever
little program was left untitled.

Over Too Million
Gallons of Water
Used Here Friday

What is probably record for water
consumption in the city in twenty-fo
hours where the cause of the con-
sumption was not a big fire, was es-
tablished at the city pumping station
Friday when 2,250.000 gallons were
pumped. The amount Of water used
by the city during the day was more
than 100000 gallons in excess of the
average daily consumption during last
year.
The days consumption was the larg-
est of the present hot weather, but
since the heated weather began the
consumption has been in excess Of 3
100000 gallons a day.
The one large pump that is fur
nishing all the water has a twenty
four hour capacity of 100000 gal
Ions. Councilman Mcfarland, super
intendent of the water department,
said today that the one pump had
ample capacity to supply the needs of
the city until the new pump is in
stalled. So far the supply Of water
in the wells shows no marked signs
of decreasing, he said.

LOCAL COMMENT

The Marshalltown Country Club has
this year taken on the standing Of an
institution. Interest and membership
are highest in the history Of the club
and the understanding has come that
such a place as the country club is
needed in town as an outlet and
breathing place and an element Of
health. The country club and golf
course, practically unknown in the
state a few years ago, are becoming
essentials to towns of even minor pop
ulation. municipalities are laying out
public links Most of these have
proved excellent investments from the
rise in land values as we'll as affording
opportunity for social diversion and
for gaining and retaining health. The
country clubs and golf courses are
growing into a sort OF necessity to
cities. 1t Is a rather poor town that
can not show at least ine-hole
course and a decent club house, so
that fourishing country club has be-
come one Of the standards that the
progressiveness and spirit of towns are
judged by. Such clubs in the smaller
towns and cities should be made as
democratic as good judgment will per-
nit. They should be open to all the
good, clean, people of the city, ana
as a general proposition should be
patronized and assisted and approved
by the town.

AMUSEM ENTS.
At the Casino.

Virginia Pearson in Hypocrisy
played before two fair sized audiences
Friday evening at the Casino. The
play portrays the shams and hypoc-
risies of society, which are we'll brought
out by all the members of the cast and
more especially by Miss Pearson. She
plays the part of Virginia Trent. whose
mother has nothing. but bluffs her way
thru society and brings up her daush-
ter to be used to every luxury and
with the idea that it is a. crime to
marry a poor man or for love rather
than money. How Virginia marries the
man she loves, and how he loses all
his money: how her mother tries to
tempt her so she will divorce her hus-
band and marry rich man: and final
" how Virginia denounces her mother
and her shams and decides that love
is more than wealth, go to make a
very interesting picture.
Interesting events in news pictures
were shown preceding the picture.

BIG DEMAND FOR LABOR.

Equal to the Demand.
There is greater demand for COM
mon labor, and a more marked short
age OF it in the city just at this time
than has been the situation for years.
In some instances, at least, work is
being held back because common labor
is not procurable in spite of the fact
that such labor is being paid from
$2.75 to SO day.
One reason for the scarcity Of labor
is the amount that is in demand. Pub
lie work that is under way, in addi-

tract work. the latter especially in the

Of labor. No less than five contract

Residents of West Boone street join
in common complaint against the Gus
tom of autoists running with cutouts
wide open. West Boone is busy
street, one Of the main inlets and out
lets of the city. Probably a thousand
or more autos pass the residences on
that street between in the morning
and midnight. OF the 1000, so the
residents say, at least $50 open up
their cutouts and leave trail of noise
behind them, whether in morning or
at midnight. Fast driving, open cut
outs and disturbance OF that charac-
ter make summer nights with open
windows hard to negotiate, and those
folks are threatening reprisal against
those needless persons who suspend
sleep and the statutes.
