In France and all the powder our
money can guy. Real patriots this
year, on the Fourth OF Jnly. will not
buy powder and waste It at home
while the kaiser laughs at them In
his glee. They will go to Uncle Sans
office, the postoffice, and exchanges
their money for war savings stamps
80 Uncle Sam may buy shot and she'll
and powder and dynamite for the
soldiers to burn in Berlin. Berlin Is
where we American patriots are going
to burn our powder on another Fourth
of July. Lets lend powder to the SOL
diers this year that they may explode
some cannon crackers under KAISER
Bill pretty soon.
Stealing autos and ditching them
in the country nearby would look like
the work of some purely local and
youthful vandals, and 1t Is hoped that
they may be caught for punishment.
However, the stealing of the Estel car
to be left in Cedar Rapids where an
other car was promptly missed by
theft would suggest the work OF pro-
fessionals. Used cars are command
ing cash prices these days since new
cars can not be made except in very
limited numbers. It should not be
strange that $1,000 worth of mobile
merchandise left in the street should
attract taker especially in the dark
of the nj ght. Automobile thieves have
become a pest in the cities and We
may yet have to organize vigilance
committees Of the early days to deal
with the horse thieves Of the modern
times
The sooner, however, that automo-
bile owners recognize the fact that
auto stealing IS an organized business
the greater Will be the effort to pro-
tect against theft. While locking de-
vices are not absolute proof against
thieving, they may help some. In
surance against theft also will pro-
tect the owners The improved meth
cd in stealing automobiles, 1t has been
learned, Is for the thieves to select q
car to be stolen, then send to the Sec
rotary Of state for an auto license for
the certain style of car to be stolen
After the car is taken the thief
changes the numbers on the car and
gets rid of the old ones. He also,
perhaps, has on his person the re-
ceipt for his license. Consequently 1T
is hard for officers, even tho they
have q description Of the car, to ar
rest driver whose car bears a diff
ferent number than the one stolen,

MUST WORK TO PLAY.
Golfers Must Volunteer Labor If They
Expect to Play.


Finding that the cost Of cleaning the
grounds and repairing buildings and
putting the golf course in condition to
use again will be so much that the club
can not afford to employ the labor,
James McNally, president OF the Coun-
try Club, has sent out call for VOL
unteer laborers among the members to
come forward and do the work. He
has appointed six gang foremen. and
has notified them that they must re-
cr1lit forces of worknen among the
men of the club and finish the job ap-
portioned to each gang without delay.
A meeting Of the foremen has been
called for Monday night at 1880 at the
First National Bank, when the foremen
are expected TO be prepared to report
the number Of workmen they have
drafted for their gangs, what material
each will need, and the nature and ex-
tent of the work to be done.
The gang foreman named for the
Job are: Road building, George Darling;
bridge building F. Z. Northup; repair
ing buildings, G. F. Thayer; repairing
tennis courts. George Herlin; cleaning
Fairgrounds, B. c. Taylor; greens, H. j.
Rodgers 1t is expected that the gangs
will go to work Tuesday and complete
their jobs at once. AS far as the golf
course is concerned it Is covered with
about an inch of silt and 1t will be unfit
to play on until the fair greens and
putting greens are narrowed and raked
and rolled, them cut. This work car
not be done until the course dries Oft
sufficiently.
The road gang has several bad places
in the road to rebuild, altho Friday the
road into the grounds was finally made
passable. The bridge gang has one
bridge over the big pond to rebuild, and
the other to clear Of rubbish. Part OF
the old bridge can probably be salvaged
from an adjoining pasture. The tennis
court gang must rebuild part of the
back nets and clear the rubbish out OF
all Of them. The building repArine
gang has various jobs around the club
house and dance hall. The Fairgrounds
gang has a job Of clearing a large
amount of silt off the turf, salvagine
picnic tables and lawn seats from the
bayou east Of the grounds and replac.
ing them. If the men of the club re-
spond for these jobs when asked to de

two. The sooner it is done the soone
the club will be disable. Until the gol
course is gone over only further dam
age to it will result from playing on 1t

games, their trials and, best of
all, their jokes.
