 'The Roaring Road" is an excellent story -snd picture. 1t Is a romantic com edy drama, with the hero winning autoe mobile races and breaking his way out ow jail to make wild dash at night to see the girl he loves before she can sail thousands of miles away.
 He wasn't in jail for a crime or any thing like that? He just couldn't run an automobile at a moderate rate of speed so the judge had put him in jail to think 1t over. The wild race brings the stoC to thrilling and satisfying conclusion 'The Roaring Road and a short farce "Tell Wife Everything are being shown for the last time today.

FRIDAY Is REAL JINX DAY.
Story City Farmer Injured i'm Several
Accidents i'm One Day.

Nevada, Ia.-Friday was an un-
lucky day for Joe West, farmer, of
near Story City. During the late
afternoon while oiling a corn shelter
he got his arm caught in gearing
and it was so badly mashed that
amputation was necessary. The flesh
and bone below the elbow We're
severely crushed and lacerated.
1t had been Jonah day from
early morning until late in the after
noon for West. During the forenoon
he had fallen off a grain wagon and
his head was injured; in steering a
tractor engine out of the yard he
hit an obstruction and received a
severe bump on his arm; then came
his accident with the corn shelter.
But to cap the climax while he was
being carried up on the elevator or
the Story City sanitarium, something
went wrong with the elevator and
the car, with West inside, dropped
for considerable distance and he
received a severe jolting.

of DOan's Kidney Pills.

DEBORAH is no exception. Every
section of the u. S. resounds with
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills. Fifty
thousand persons are giving testi.
mony in their home newspapers. The
sincerity of these witnesses, the fact
that they live SO near, is the best
proof of the merit of Doane's. Here's
a DEBORAH case.
Sever Olson, blacksmith, Maple
Ave, DEBORAH, says: MANY years
of hard work weakened my kidneys
and brought on attacks of backache.
When / went to stoop to shoe a
horse, sharp pains caught me in the
small of my back AID almost dou-
bled me up. The kidney secretions
were highly colored. I didn't let kid
ney complaint get a good hold on
me, because / used Doan's Kidney
Pills, procured from Engbertson's
Pharmacy, right away and was fixed
up in fine shape"
Price Coo at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy

SCHOOL CLOTHES.
The Expense of Fitting Children Out
i'm Clothes is Problem for Many.

Many children quit school at a
prematurely early age. One reason is
because of the expense of fitting chill
dren out for school. The bill for
shoes stockings and suits and dresses
and hats is very big one now. Par
ents in Strengthened circumstances
frequently reason that if the children
are taken out of school at the earliest
legal age, the parents will avoid this
bill, as the youngsters can at least
earn their own clothes.
In the upper grades and the high
schools, competition frequently de-
yelops among the girls to see which
can dress most attractively. These
precocious leaders of fashion wish 70
facinate the boys with their swell
toys, and father foots the bill High
school teachers in many places say
that the extravaganza of the school
girls is scandalous. A great many OF
them will wear costly silk stockings
where the teachers have to buy cheap
ones, and so on in every article of
dress.
The high school girls in Cleveland,
Ohio, recently petitioned the school
superintendent that they be allowed
to wear a school uniform which
would show that they were school
girls, and would be inexpensive and
place all on a democratic level
1t would be in many ways a fire
idea. Yet some may object on the
ground that a uniform makes any
body of people look too monotonous
and discourages individuality. Yet
the Boy Scouts have not found, it
that way. They seem to see inspir-
alton in their uniform.
However one may look at that,
parents should be ashamed to give
their children expensive school
clothes. 1t is better to buy simple,
plain, inexpensiyely made material of
all pood standard wearing quality.
When all the parents will do that,
sending children through school will
be less of burden.
