had helped to create and to conserve
broadcast among different societies and
libraries. To be sure the average per-
son having acted as an average being
wouldn't have got his will printed in
state and national papers, but the
a. h. b. might not have given that con-
sideration with the mainstay in evil
dence.
Taking the story as 1t stands the old
mans testamentary ideas will not find
wide approval in the average home or
with the average man--and the average
man comes nearer being right all the
time than any other man or men. And
that average person will conclude that
it would be better to let mother have
the use of that $2s,oo0 while she lives
and let the associations and the Ii
braries and the adolescent temperance
orators wait for the money until she
was thru needing 1t.
OF course, it's his will. But if she
needs that money to live on she can
get it. There isn't court in the land
that would uphold that will in Such cir
cumstances. And also if she needs it
she should go get it.

THE OLD MANS WILL.

A newspaper story from Los Angeles
relates at length the disposal of prop
erty left by an Iowan who recently
died in that city. He was very old
man and left an estate of $4,000. To
his aged wife he left an annuity Of 5000
a year and gave his two sons $1,000
apiece. Then he distributed the re-
mainder Of his funds to libraries, re-
form bureaus, temperance associations
and left sum to create prizes for pub
lie speaking in the Humboldt public
school, Also, and perhaps character
istic, he left a bequest to be devoted
to putting his own writings into pub
lie libraries
To the average human being the
first thing that sticks out of that Will
is the fact that the widow, who had
been his chief mainstay for years" is
summary set aside with an income
that would not buy her meal tickets at
cheap restaurants. To the average
human being who has lived with one
of those ''mainstays" thru long or
short term of years it would naturally
suggest itself to leave her enough to
live on before scattering the funds she

MONEY PlLlNG UPAr the BANK.

The banks of Iowa have completed
the sending of hundred millions Of
money TO the east for liberty loans and
they still find their deposits piling high
without making clear to the bankers
just why il is. A syndicate of Chicago
banks and bond brokers opened the sale
of twenty millions in federal land bank
bonds Monday and today announced
eighteen millions sold; all Investment
money going into fifteen-year bonds.
II is the belief OF brokers in securities
that money is going to ease up and that
the agricultural regions especially are
going to be hunting for somebody to
use bank funds.
Very little building is being done in
Iowa. The usual amounts of money are
not being sent west for lumber, east for
steel and south for brick. Little or
nothing is doing in speculative lands
The land men who once formed little
syndicates turnout Iowa to buy whole
Wv ASAIipS VI Wiz iduuS arr not CpSldt-
ing. Even the automobile is not taking
away its usual draft. Home lands are
changing hands, but mostly from one
user to another and the money stays at
home. Even the oil well, mining stock
and plantation statesmen are scarce
since patriotic committees have been
out selling government bonds and war
savings stamps. The normal streams
OF money that flowed out Of the state
seem to have been damned up while
the crops OF this state, the grains and
the live stock have been going to
market at war prices. A carload OF
hogs which once brought back $500 TO
the village bank now brings $4,000, and
1t Is inevitable that bank deposits
should rise.
The munition factories of the east
keep money in use there and many of
the large companies with established
credit are forced to seek funds in the
west, but a state like Iowa. which pro-
duces from the soil and goes to market
cape a rise in bank deposits. Much
more money than usual is coming in
and much less than usual is going out
of this state.

Now let me see. When we left off in
the last story Billy Bunny was hunt
ing for the little Black Book which old
Prof Crow had lost. Yes, that's right,
and now well see II we can't find that
little Black Book in this story.
Well, the little Rabbit didn't get dis
couraged., He kept on and on, and OF
everybody he met he asked the same
question: Have you seen little
Black Book?"
But old Squirrel Nutcracker hadn't,
nor Jimmy Chipmunk. nor Uncle Bull

ask Daddy Fox nor Old Man Weasel.
No, stree. He kept away from those
two old robbers. let me tell you.
Well, by and by, after a while and
maybe a mile. he met his old friend,
the Yellow Dog Tramp.
Hes the very one to ask" thought
the little rabbit. Hes tramping all day
and maybe's he's found it,

him, I don't want It," and he handed
it to the little rabbit.
THANK you. Good-by," said Billy
Bunny. and away he hoped to the
old brier patch. But, oh, dear me. Be
fore he got there something happened
Wasn't that too bad? Yes sir, just as
ne hoped thru the old snake fence.
Daddy Fox jumped up from behind a
rock.
"Ha, ha. he. he." said that wicked
old robber. "Now I'll have feast" and
he was Just going to grab the little
rabbit when, all Of a sudden, the
Miller's boy shot OFF his gun and Mr.
Daddy Fox felt singing pain in his
left hind leg. And away he went after
that on three legs for his den on the
hillside, where Mrs. Fox put poultice
on it and drew out the bullet. y
And what do you think Billy Bunny
was doing all this time? I guess you
know. but I'll tell you anyway. He was
hopping as fast as he could toward the
old brier patch. And before the Mill
ler's boy could reload his gun, for 1t
was an old-fashioned one, you know
and belonged to his great grandfather
when he was a boy, the little rabbit
was safe at home.
Here's your little black book he
said to old Prof. Crow. who you re-
member was making a call on Mrs.
Bunny in the last story. And that old
crow was so delighted to get his book
back that you'll have to wait until the
next story to hear what he said. for he
said so much that have no more
room now to print It,

BOOZE CONTINGENT BUSY.

Carelessness is often more danger
Gus and calamitous than design.
If the temperance voters Of Iowa are
careless this primary election Iowa
may lose or delay for long time that
for which thirty years of effort has
been spent.
If any imagine that the apparent
quiet means that prohibition has no
opposition in Iowa they imagine vain
thing. A strong still hunt is on against
the ratification Of the federal amend
ment.
The state is being plastered with
Arthur Brisbane's paper counseling
the return OF the beer and light wine
saloon.
The president of the Model License
League is busy with his peculiar pro-
paganda.
The liquor interests are working in
such a way as 10 awake the least
alarm but to get the most for the
liquor interests and pave the way for
a return of the conditions they found
so profitable.
The track may be the best in the
world. the rolling stock and equipment
perfect but the man asleep at the
switch brings smash and disaster.
Mr.. Voter you are the man at the
switch. Wake up. The primary is but
ten days away. Make sure where the
candidate stands on the question Of
ratification. Search his record. Demand
his pledge. If he isn't right don't vote
for him.
But vote at the primary. Forget all
this talk that the primary is failure.
II IL is a failure it is because you have
been a failure, because you haven't
voted or when you hve voted haven't
analysed and considered candidates
and issues.
Anyhow it's the only present path
between you and your desires and be-
liefs In government. Use 1t.
II the amendment is not ratified 3y
the next legislature 1t will not be the
fault Of the primary or OF any one
except Of the temperance voter.
OF course you can lie down and
comfort yourself with the assertion
that prohibition is sure to come some
day. But the way to get that amend
ment ratified Is to do It now and do it
with your vote at the primary.
What are you going to do about 1t.
Fail to vote and then complain and
beef at the primary system?

MULE BALKS AT LEMON PIE
Animal pevours Stock in Bakery Wao-

Greenwich, Conn.-Many prominent
citizens of this community whose
wealth permits them to indulge In pie
were forced to go without their daily
rations unless, perchance, 1t was lemon
pie that they had ordered from Conk-
Inns bakery. A plain, everyday mule,
that hadn't been considered at all In
the food administrators regulations,
was responsible.
The mule furnishes the motive pow
er for one of the delivery wagons of
the Round Hill dairy. His driver left
him in Greenwich avenue and went
into lunch room for light break
fast.
The mule had n hunger, too, and 1t
was accumulated by the aroma that he
inhaled with the clear morning air. He
pulled up to the rear Of the bakery
wagon. When the driver of that We
hicle returned from making delivery
his stock of pies was reduced to the
lemon variety. That mule has no ap-
petite for the crust that conceals the
citrus.
