ONE AUTOMOBILE FOR Ev-
ERY II PERSONS IN IOWA

Washington, d. c., July t3.-
Iowa led the United States in
1916 in the number of motor cars
registered in proportion to popu-
latlOn. She had one car for every
eleven persons. California was a
close second with one car to ev-
cry twelve inhabitants. Nebras-
ka and South Dakota had one for
every thirteen. Arkansas could
show but one for every 116. The
average for the United States is
one car for every twenty-nine
persons, according to figures pre-
scented by the office of public
roads, United States department
of agriculture, in Circular No. 73,
"Automobile Registrations, Lii
censes and Revenues in the Unit
ed States, 1876
The New England states were
more uniformly supplied with
motor cars than any other sec
tion. They averaged one car to
about every twenty-seven per
sons. The prosperous corn belt
states also showed a fairly uni
form distribution of cars. The
south, which does not possess as
great mileage of improved roads
as other section of the country,
had relatively fewer cars in pro-
portion to population.

STALK soRER NOW ON SCENE
Insect Causes Much Damage to
Crops In General.

Many inquiries regarding
methods of combating the stalk
borer have come to the acting
state entOmologist at Iowa State
college. He responds as follows !:
The stalk horer is a general
feeder, boring into stalks of the
potato, tomato, corn, wheat, oats,
blue grass and many ornamental
plants as dahlias, asters and
lilies.
The only means of combating
it after it gains admittance to the
stalk is to cut it out. This is
Impractical except in small gar
dens or where the plants attacked
are individually very valuable.
Usually the damage done to corn
or small grains is not severe
enough to demand special atten-
tion. No practical remedies other
than hand picking to decrease
future injury have been suggest
ed, which general practice only in
small gardens.

INJURED BY FALL
DOWN ELEVATOR SHAFT

This morning about Al: 80 Lou
LOngman went into the Brundige
hardware store to get some wire
for a chicken yard. All of the
force had gone to dinner. leaving
John Brundige to look after the
store until their return, so he
gave the yard stick to Mr.. Long
man and told him he could help
himself, as he had done many
times before. 1t was not many
minutes after his ascending the
stairs that Mr.. Brundige heard
something drop in the elevator
room and he thought Mr.. Long
man had thrown the wire or
something else down. However,
hearing a moan, he went over and
opened the door and found Mr..
Longman had fallen down the
shaft which is about sixteen feet
fro mthe upper landing.
1t is not known exactly how he
came to fall, as the wire was up
in the front end of the building.
The supposition is that after
looking at the wire he had started
to go down stairs, which are out
in the other room, with a short
turn to the left, and not paving
strict attention forgot and did not
go out in the other rooms, but
had walked around the gale and
stepped right off into the open
shaft. He received deep lacer
alton on the left side of his head,
several small cuts also on The
right side and badly bruised the
right cheek. His shirt was torn
in the back near the left shoulder.
which was slightly bruised. A
large rope stretched across the
elevator room, which is about
eight feet wide, next to heavy
cross beam, broke his fall or he
might have broken his neck. He
was Immediately taken to the city
hospital, where DR.. Heise made an
examination and dressed his
wounds.

SHOT TRYING TO
EvADE ARREST

Dunlap, July 16.-A raid was
made on the stock yards on Sun
day afternoon by two state de-
tectives and two county officers,
where they rounded up about
fourteen alleged gamblers.
Although the suspected crap
shooters thought they were we'll
guarded the state officials were
too much for them.
The culprits were asked to give
$500 bonds and those that could
not do that were taken to Jail.
A fellow who attempted to es-
cape was shot by the deputy
sheriff and received a slight
shoulder wound.
1t seems to be the intention of
the officers to clean up the town.

REAL IMPROVEMENTS ON
LINCOLN HIGHWAY IN IOWA

Clinton, Ia.-Working as a
unit, the Lincoln Highway or
ganization in the state of Iowa,
headed by w. F. Coan of Clinton,
state consul, is prepared to show
concrete evidence of extensive
improvements along the route at
the time Of the official trip of in
spection by officers of the ma
tional association and other good
roads experts during July.
AS indicating the activities in
all of the thirteen counties in the
state through which the highway
runs, Mr.. Coan points to the re-
ports submitted by the Boone and
Benton county consuls.
o. G. Burrows of Benton coun-
ty states that During 1917 two
additional miles of permanent
grading on the worst stretches,
so far as hills are concerned, will
have been completed, leaving
practically no further grading
necessary to give easy grades
across the entire county. All of
the route will have been crowned
and ditched and there will be but
one wooden bridge remaining by
the close of the summer. A pa
troll system Of the route has been
provided for and it is hoped to
have the entire route oiled by the
close of the season of 1915"
From s. G. Goldwaithe of Boone
county comes word that the Lin
coin highway across the entire
county is graded and that atten-
ton is now being given to the
matter of draining and gravel
ing. Practically IS miles Of
graveling has been contracted for
to be done in 1917, and there will
be little to do beside maintain
the road in the future, pending
the actual construction of hard
surfaced road.
With reports of similar char
acter from other counties in
Iowa, Mr.. Coan is convinced that
greater results are to be obtained
in Lincoln highway betterment
this year than ever before.

FORK OF NANTICOKE

fredericksburg. Md, March g.
The northwest fork Of the Nanticoke
River IS a copper-colored surging
stream due to freshet here caused by
sxcessiye rains. The river is over
flowing its banks and large duanti-
ties OF wood and lumber have been
swept away. The water is up to the
FIRST floors OF many homes and ware
houses along the river front and
small out-buildings are inundated.
Several families whose homes we're
flooded were rescued yesterday in
rowboats.
The river is stiil rising and many
more families are fearful lest they
have TO move out They arc moving
their household effects to the second
floors. Many persons are watching
the rise OF the water and standing
ready 10 lend assistance 10 those in

Faulkners bridge. a concrete struc-
turo one mile north of town. Is In
a shalxy condition and likely to be
washed away. A sunken twenty-five
foot launch was raised. but before It
could be fastened secure was swept
down the river by the velocity Of the
water and lost. The concrete bridge
here is withstandlng the pressure of
the turbulent waters without q
trcmor and there Is no likelihood OF
It going out. The freshet is accom-
panied by high wind. adding to the
distress Of those living near the river.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair In
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle. and
Is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better
than tho most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for shampoo
ing as this can't possibly injure the
hair
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub il in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance Of
rich, creamy lather, and ceanses the
hair and scalp Thoroughly The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle Of dust dirt, dandruff and ex-
cossve oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and It leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.
