should be turned off. but so many
motorists require it apparently for
lighting the road surface and have
the inexcusable habit of turning it
on an approaching car. Such mo-
florists apparently do not appreciate
that it blinds the driver of an ap-
preaching vehicle, and nothing can
be more dangerous on the average
country road. If the spotlight is
used for Illuminating the road sur
face it should be tilted at sharp an
gle and not depended upon to illum-
inc the road 200 feet ahead Under
no circumstances should it be turn
ed upon an approaching car. One
of the ideal uses for the spotlight
is to illumine the right side of the
road so as more clearly to define
the ditch. In this role it is . desig
able safety factor.

ABUSING THE SPOTLIGHT

Unless many motor car users are
more careful with the spotlight car
lied on the end of the windshield they
will find themselves hedged round
with a fence of state legislation i'm
posing limitations on the use
of the spotlight The spotlight is
an excellent attachment; in fact, it is
one of the most useful on car, and
1t would be too bad to find it's free
use limited by state legislation caus-
ed by abuse of it by the selfish mo-
torist as well as by the thoughtless
motorist.
Generally the spotlight is carried
much higher than the other lights
and when it is used to light the road
surface it is a worse dazzler than the
headlights. When not in use it

PROF. KRALL GIVES
WARNING TO FARMERS
Will BE Great Scarcity OF Seed
Corn in Iowa Next Spring; Should
Sow Silage for Winter

Sow Silage for Winter
Prof. J. A. Krall, of the Iowa State
Agricultural College, SENDS out a
warning to the farmers of Audubon
county to be careful of their seed
corn this year Every effort should
be made to pick as much as possible
before frost, even if it must be pick
ed before it is denied. He says to
make sure of having good seed, and
owing to the lateness of the season,
it should be picked as soon as it
shows dent, but to make doubly sure,
it can be picked while in the glazed
state. 1t will shrjvel up when dried,
but he says that it will grow Just
as we'll as if picked after it is fully
matured.
Many farmers are undoubtedly
taking chances on the weather, view
ing with a skeptical eye the changes
that may take place; living in hopes
that frost will not come till the corn
is absolutely safe. Such actions are
considered very foolish and danger
Gus by Prof. Krall. Even tho the
corn is dented, the germ may be
killed with one frost of very light
nature. And when such happens,
the farmer will save seed corn that
will not be worth the space allotted it
during the winter. If he plants it
In the spring, he will have 1t all to
replant or he must purchase other
seed from his neighborhors, when he
might have been selling to others.
Seed corn in Iowa will be very
scarce next spring. Not only in
Iowa, but in other states where much
corn is grown. To the farmer who
uses judgment and picks his seed
before the frost, and a plenty of it,
will reap harvest of coin, and will
be sure of his own crop for another
year.
Prof. Krall further advises all far
mers who cut corn for silage, to i'm
mediately prepare and sow it to
winter wheat or to rye.
1t will help to enlarge the food
supply earlier next season than could
be otherwise placed upon market,
for this country and for the allies
1t is in reality, patriotic duty, and
every farmer should do all in his
power to aid the government in its
hour Of exceeding need
The Extension Department of the
Iowa State Agricultural College Is
able, and would be very glad to pro-
vide seed for the farmers and fur
nish all information possible so they
will reap the largest harvest possible.
The Department has over 100000.
bushels of seed ready for distribution
to the farmers this fall and Prof.
Krall urges all who can, to take ad-
vantage of this offer.

tional woman suffrage on its merits.
They have merely succeeded in giving
the nation an object lesson of what
the anti-suffragists contend is its
undetachable demerit
True, the theory that the Wash
ington pickets contributed to the
burying of woman suffrage in Maine
may be wrong. But the pickets may
be sure it is held by great many
of the voting people of the United
States. They may be sure the de-
feat will be received with a chuckle
as a rebuke to the methods of their
little group in many a quarter that
is not at all unfriendly to the prin-
ciple of equal rights. And after as
surfing themselves of these things,
perhaps they will be inclined, how
ever distastefully it may be, to think
the situation over.

Show Will Be Most
Attractive of Local Events

More space for the auto show" is
the cry, but no more is available.
Every foot has been allotted, but other
applicants are desirous of securing
representations. Even though there is
about 1000 more square feet than
usual the show is growing year by
year beyond the capacity of any avail
able building. Tomorrow men will
be put to work by j. Clyde Myton
painting the entire first floor a pure
white. Collars of laurel will sur
round the columns and streamers of
laurel will trail down the white pillars.
The entire color scheme will be white
and green.
One hundred palms will be placed
along the aisles and standards with
tie names of the various cars will be
features this year that will add to the
attractiveness of the exhibit. The
aisle space is greater than in other
years, affording greater comfort to
the public and permitting a better
arrangement of exhibits. All eX-
hibitors are taking special pains to
make the respective displays as
beautiful as possible. So the COM
bined efforts of the committee and
the dealers is to make this the finest
automobile show this city has ever
seen.

SENATE AT GRIPS
OVER PROGRAM
Entanglements to Force Extra
Session or Delay Pet
Measures

Washington, Jan. 81. - Echoes of
Thursday nights turbulent caucus of
Senate Democrats and failure yester-
day of the Steering committee to agree
on program for the few remaining
weeks of this session emphasized the
serious entanglements over legislation
which threaten either to force an ex-
ira session of Congress or abandon
ment until next winter of several i'm
portant administration measures.
1t became known that the threats
and counter-threats followed in quick
succession in the caucus when it was
proposed to put certain bills on the
legislative program to the exclusion
of others.
Railroad labor legislation urged by
the President, was one target for at
tack, particularly the strike prevention
feature, although it generally was
agreed that some form of legislation
on this line should be enacted before
adjournment. In fact, some admins
tration leaders believe that failure tc
do so would furnish the only possible
motive for the President to call an
extra session.
Southern Senators Aroused
The Corrupt Practices bill was Wig
orously opposed by Southern Sena.
tors, who declared they would not
yield to Federal control of elections
proposed in the measure. They will
submit various amendments, but
champions of the bill already are op-
posed to the proposed changes and
there seems little prospect for final
action at this session if any other
measures are to be enacted.
There still is wide disagreement
over water power bills, and several
Progressive Republicans have given
notice that they will talk until March
against the Webb bill, to permit coll
lective foreign selling agencies for do
mestic corporations, if it is pressed
for vote. The Flood Control bill
also is in almost hopeless dispute.
. Some administration leaders said
that, in their opinion, revenue legis-
lation, some form of railroad labor
regulation, a mineral lands leasing bill
and the regular appropriations event
ually would constitute all that could
be accomplished before adjournment
If this much can be done they do not
believe the President would call an ex.
ira session, in view of the uncertainty
of organization in the next House.
