NOTICE TO WATER USERS

Owing to a shortage of water it
will be necessary to practice economy
in the use of water for gardens and
lawns. Please watch your sprinklers
closely and do not allow water to go
to waste by running down the streets
OF onto the sidewalks.
Systematic sprinkling will do your
garden or lawn more good than flood
ing. Do not allow water to run from
an open hose or faucet without some
sprinkling device attached to the same.

Water Commissioner.

WHAT IT MEANS TO ROADS.

1t bears upon the road question now
before the legislature of Iowa to know
that the automobiles in use within
the United States increased more than
LOO, 900 over 1917. The motor vehicles
registered in 1918 lacked less than
$1,000 Of rounding out 100000. In
1917 they lacked about 10000 of $780,
00O
A million gain in motor vehicles in
year when the passenger automobile
industry seemed practically abolished
and passenger autos were driven in
stead of shipped across the continent
because the railways were not per
mitted to haul them. Production Of
passenger cars fell off last year over
10000 but the truck autos granted
privileges as inductrial machines, made
advance
Auto manufacturers saw they have a
market for 100000 cars this year
II they could make them.
Speaking of commercial cars the in
crease last year was 50 per cent There
were more commercial cars made than
ever before. OF course many of them
went abroad to war but very great
number went to work in the United
States on the streets and the roads.
Now what does it mean to Iegisla-
lures and citizens, this vast increase
in motor vehicles? Simply that the
world has changed from horse travel
and horse transportation to the motor
vehicle and that roads must be bunt
first for motor transportation. 1t
means that .hs farm ana the market
are soon to depend upon motor travel,
that the parcels post and the delivery
Of merchants and the hauling Of loads
are TO be motorized. We shall have
to do it. He who takes two loads or
ten loads where one went before is

LET'S STICK TO OUR BIG j0s'

An old story is Of the Cobbler who
found the foot OF seemingly perfect
statue slightly at fault and Immediately
made an ass of himself b. attempt!ns
to make over the entire work OF
beauty. SO the people in their disg Ust
and resentment promptly forgot the
fault and drove him away. And the
fault was not corrected
The prohibition accomplishment IS a
fine and splendid prospect. Generally
speaking the country agrees with it as
sensible and practical step.
But the cobblers are busy They
now propose TO pile upon il all manner
OF reforms from legislation against
smokers to severe penalties for profane
language. Faults. all of item, faults
that the body Of society would be
better without. but by comparison
minor faults to liquor and its attend
ant evils.
The danger is that those cobblers
will, as such cobblers do, draw atten =
| ton from the extremely serious matter
now in hand. Gifruse and detract pub
| lie interest and approval of the prohibit
ton amendment and by attracting
public attention to themselves adverse
~ check the complete accomplishment
Of the purpose of the prohibitory
amendment which is to be presently
rid of the booze traffic and finally rid
of the booze habit.
First let us finish this job in hand.
We need not deceive ourselves with
the pleasing fiction that it will he a
short and easy task for 1t will be
neither. 1t requires and shall require
strict concentration Of effort deter
mination by those who would abolish
the use Of intoxicants except from the
materia medica.
We have come to the point where
| we can enforce prohibitory legislation.
The suggested legislation could no
| more be enforced than the blue laws
| Of Connecticut We're they to be revived
by an Iowa legislature or a federal
| congress.
