The happiest man in the world is til

The happiest man in the world is the
poor fellow who earns just enough
money to pay his debts. Such man
is possessed of the happiness which
rauses him to whistle and sing as lie
goes about his work, and when lie meets
you on the street, a pleasant smile
speaking louder than words, convinces
you of his sincerity. The rich man
with a mortgage ON every other house
in town and with a bank account may
be happy, but his happiness is not of
the heart; neither does it manifest it.

dates from the countenmce of an
honest working man.

Really No Prchlem n All.

The question of tf.e weight OF fish
IN water was settled over $50 years
ago. 1t is saii hat Charles II Of Eng
land once asked for solution Of the
problem as to Why a pail of water
should weigh no more after live fish
was placed in 1t than before. The rea-
sons ascribed by scientists were many,
nut no definite conclusions were
reached. Finally one man, more prac-
deal Than the others, tried the expert
meht aid discovered that the weight
@as Increased Just as much as the fish
weighed.

Dies Moines, L., Dec. "a. Before
January l every automobile owner in
Iowa must have paid registration fee
and obtained q new license from his
county treasurer. %
Prior to this the registration was
taken care Of at the state capitol, but
provisions Of the new motor vehicle
law require that the license be issued
from each county seat and reported
in to the state offices promptly for
checking.
In an explanation of the law pre-
pared for the Iowa Motor Trades Blu
reau members, w. G. Ramsey, secre-
tary of state, announces that the
manner Of computing the fee for
registration of automobiles is entire
II ehaAgei. The fee is now based on
the manufacturers list price, fixed
at the next even one hundred dollars
above the list price, and forty cents
per hundred pounds of weight fixed at
the next even one hundred pounds Of
weight Of the vehicle fully equipped.
For motor cycles the fee is five dol
lars per year. After being registered
five times the fee on an automobile or
motor cycle is reduced one-half on
!, the list price.
For trucks the fee is based upon
the loading capacity and ranges from
/ GO for a one-ton truck to $175.0O
for e machine having a capacity Of
six tons. For each ton of load ca
pacity above six tons the rate is $50
in addition to the six ton rate. No
License viii be issued for a truck of
over six ton capacity without per-
mission of municipal authorities il it
is to be driven in the city, or from
the State Highway Commission if
operated on the state highways. The
fee for trailers, which is also based
upon the load capacity, ranges from
$500 to $4,000 per year.
! The new law increases the dealers
license to $500 and the cost of $15
per pair has been inserted largely to
prevent the abuse of dealers plates
by irresponsible parties.
According to an opinion handed
down by Attorney General Havner's
office, these Dealers licenses are for
the exclusive use of dealers selling
1 new cars and then for demonstration
purposes only.
Dealers in used cars must comply
with the same regulations governing
any individual selling his automobile
to another party.
| Upon the transfer of ownership of
any registered motor vehicle the own
err must Immediately notify the coun-
ty treasurer, giving the date of trans
fer and full name and address of the
purchaser with license number Of. the
car.
The purchaser must join in the no.
tice of transfer and at the same time
make application to have the certifi-
cate of registration given to him. The
fee for the transfer will be $l.OO and
until approved by the county treasur-
er the deed to the property will not
be clear.
Failure to comply with this regu-
lation in making transfer of motor
vehicles will subject the offender to
prosecution and punishment under
the criminal laws Of the state.

and he will tell you that American railroads are
the best in the world
lie the foreign roads ~ in England and
France, the best in Europe - and in other Con-
tnental countries - and he knows.
The part railroads have played in the develop
ment Of the United States is beyond measure.
American railroads have achieved high stand
ards of public service by far-sghted and courage
investment Of capital, and by the constant
striving of managers and men for rewards for work
we'll done.
We have the best railroads in the world we
must continue to have the best.
But they must grow.
To the $4,000, 100000 now invested in our
railroads, there will have to be added in the next
few years. to keep pace with the nations business,
billions more for additional tracks, stations and
terminals, cars and engines electric power houses
and trains, automatic signals, safety Devices the
elimination Of grade crossings - and for recon-
struction and engineering economies that will re-
duce the cost Of transportation.
To attract to the railroads in the future the In
vestment funds Of many thrifty citizens, the direct
ing genius Of the most capable builders and man
agers and the skill and loyalty of the best work:
men in competition with other industries bid
ding for pital, managers and men the railroad
industry must hold out fair rewards to capital, to
managers and to the men.
America railroads will continue to set world
standard I'D adequately serve the Nations needs
if they G .lue to be built and operated on the

some astrologers and persons versed
n witchcraft had maintained that at
The precise moment when the major
caguers of the solar system formed
themselves into straight line, with
Neptune, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Ven
as and Mercury on one side of the
sun and Uranus on the other, the
earth, which had moved four or five
solar PAGES to the front of the line,
would behave like the one horse shay.
Scientists had scoffed the idea, but
the superstitious ones recalled having
lighted three cigarettes with one
match or having walked under lad
der or having done in recent historic
times one of the thousand and one
other things known far and wide as
omens of evil days.
Students in Porto Rico are reported
to have been SO unfavorably impress
ed with their chances for continuing
life yesterday that they asked for
holiday to prepare for the worst.
Harold Jacoby, professor of astron-
omy at Columbia, intimated that their
actions might have been due to the
desire of youth everywhere to have
holiday. He and many other scien-
lists maintained that the effect upon
the earth of the planetary alignment
would be nil.
Astrologers have predicted the end
OF the world on somewhat similar oc-
casions for centuries. AS early as
1856 the world escaped one Of their
threatened cataolysms. Disappoint-
ment at the escape did not prevent
stoffler from predicting a anniversary
deluge for the year 1524-a year, as
it turned out, which was distinguished
for drouth.
Mother shipton, witch" of Tudor
tines, was credited with being equal
ly sure that AGO years after her time
in 1881, to be exact.-the world
would come to an end. The predic-
ton caused much agitation in Eng
land when the date she set arrived.
Thousands Of persons deserted their
homes and went out into the fields to
await humiliation.
Various religious cults have made
speciality in more recent years of
specifying an hour as the earth's last,
setting forth scriptural or pseudo
scientific arguments in support Of
their contentious.
Prof. Albert r. Porta, metsorolo-
gist, is given credit for first think

THE CHRISTMAS SEALS AND.

It was evening, the snow had been

He held a Red Cross Seal in his

thoughts flew back to another time
when he had sat in this same room be-

rebellious, bitter, discouraged and
feeling there was an unfairness in
his days.
Then he said, "It is the ones like

spired, led and showed them the way
to better living.
Every color you bear speaks a
beautiful message to me. Your red
for the courage it took to persevere,
your blue for the faith that it would
come out all right in the final sum-
ming up, your white for the pure de-
votion that cheered me when lost

eternal that kept me fighting until l
won. If you could speak and give
your message to the world all men
would buy you gladly that others
might be won back to strength and
usefulness.
