HOW TO SPEND A MILLION

how to spend a million dollars and

ROsenwald, l just read in the papers
that you gave a million dollars for
the suffering Jews. Good for you,
but why not spend or loan million
to the suffering American? You are

you will be still greater if you will
take a little tip from me.

tor to organized charity. But the re-
cipients of organized charity don't
know you. In fact, they don't want
to know you after organized charity

after they get nothing but advice.
may be tTeading on soft ground
when I mention organized charity,
but facts are facts. Organized char
ity only benefits a few-they are the
paid investigators.
This is my suggestions: Loan a
million dollars to the wOTkingman in
this way First, buy up small lots all
over the city, not too far from the
wOrkingman's work. A wOTdngman
must be on time and he can't afford
to spend two hours a day riding to
and from work.
Here is the second thing to do:
Build small houses Of four, five and
six rooms each on the lots. Have
back yard, a bathtub and a shower.
Oh, yes, wOrkingmen like to take
their bath, too, after a hard days eff
forts. Mr.. Rosenwald, you can build
place like those I suggest for 1000
to 81 800.
This is how you will get your
money back: Sell those places at

MONEY-GOLD

Till the monarchiaI use of money

Is buried in the depths Of the sea.


PRESERVE AMERICAN IDEALS.
i want to let you know that at
least two constant readers Of and
boosters for The Day Book who are
decidedly not prO-GeTman are sin
cereIy opposed to this COuntTy's en-
trance into the world war. We be-
Ieve that the greatest enemies of the
people of this country are to be found
within its bodies. They are the dol
lar patriots and the expIoiters Of the
sweat Of productive labor. 1t is the
desire Of these gentry, contrary to
the purposes and ideals of this coUn-
try, to encourage militarlsm, the
curse of bleeding Europe.
Upon the course now taken by this
country depends more than upon
that of any other whether the world
shall, at the end Of this war, adopt
a policy tending toward might or to-
ward justice. Shall we be leaders
toward justice?
American honor consists in some
thing greater than guaranteeing pro-
lection to every fOOlhardy individual
who takes his life into his hands and
ventures into the neighbOrhOOd of
the fighting madmen Of Europe on
land or sea.
Let US by all means remain in a
position where we can lead the world
in peace and construction when san
ity returns to the fighting nations.
Regarding our military service pol
icy, for 40 years this government
has rested on volunteer military serv-
ice It has been our boast that we
have not been subject to enforced
military service, such as prevails in
many countries in Europe. It is no
small matter that, having survived
all these years in freedom, we should

Serious Damage Will be
Done, It Is
Feared.

Yesferday's rAfnstorm with pre-
cipitation OF SAT inches sent the Mis-
isissippi river up six and half feet
at Keokuk, and six feet at warsaw.
The lowlands are flooded, and there ia
great danger Of serious high water
conditions, following the series OF
Observation-Disclosures which made up yes
terday's storm. The weather office
reports the rainfall as BAT inches In
the last "a hours. This was the storm
which broke shortly after noon yes
terday and continued at intervals
throughout the afternoon and evening.
Ottumwa reports rainfall Of 1.O2
inches. with 2.3 foot rise in the Des
Moines river. The rise IN the Mis-
sissippi, and the probable added rise
In the Des Moines threatens all OF the
towlands which are not now under
water. The Mississippi is already
spreading out over the low places
south OF Keokuk, and any additional
rains will bring about serious flood.
The storm yesterday was freakish
IN many respects. The rain fell IN
torrents at times, and beat down gar
ients and trees and shrubs. Heavy
lightning and thunder accompanied
the rains. The streets were filled
with water, the cutters and sewers In
f,any instances being unable to carry
pff the downpour. A street car which
ran through the lake at Eleventh and
Main yesterday. ran through awash,
with passengers ON the seats, and wa
ter over the floor OF the car.

be. Moines River Hlah.

The Des Moines river has gone on
u rampage again, according to reports
from the bottom lands near here. In
some places the little river has gone
over the levees protecting the lands.
This means that the rise was greater
than the two foot recorded at OF.
itumwa. There was considerable rain
fall at Sugar Creek, which Is out OF
its banks, and all of the Des Moine3
tributaries are wild streams today,
according to reports.
The rise since Sunday has been
considerable and there will be con-
siderable damage to the land and
farming will be given a bad set back.
It was recalled today that in 1905
the Mississippi took an eight foot
jump In half a day, so that the six
and half foot rise is still far from
being q record.
At Fort Madison.
1 Mrs. w. e. Graham, wife Of Rev.
MIR. Graham, pastor Of the Presby-
terian church at Fort Madison, was
seriously injured last night when the
metropolitan hotel auto, driven by a
negro chauffeur, plunged into.a wash
out on Chestnut street, where the
pavement gave way. The pavement
had been badly clut up and loosened
by the terrible wind and rainstorm,
and when the auto bus went over It.,
gave way. Rev. Mr.. Graham was
with his wife and also was severely
bruised, but not as badly as Mrs.
Graham, who is cut about the head
and other parts of her body from the
shattered glass on the car. She also
suffered an INJURY to her spine, 1t is
