 Levine on Citizens Duty.
 Attorney Sam M. Levine. in an ad- dress on the consequence of the great war, caused reflection on the civic responsibility which now is a part of the work of every man. He de- tailed some of the events of the war which shape the after-war duties and responsibilities. and althou cognizant of the great suffering as result of the war, stated that it had it's com pensations, among which was new fraternal spirit among men. He said that members of the lodge must con- secrate themselves to public service.
 John R. Frazier, grand master workman, head of the A. o. II.

WORLD WAR COST J. 5. MORE THAN
 30 BILLIONS
About 29 Per Cent Taken Care of by Taxes and Other
 Revenues.

Washington, July 9-'fhe war cost the United States S30,177,000,0 up to June 30, 1919 Secretary Glass made this estimate today in submit ting to the congressional appropria- tions committee the preliminary statements of the treasury on the He arrived at the estimate by sub- tracing the average peace time ex- penses for the same length of time, at the rate of $1,000, 100000 annually from the total expenditures, $32,- APT 100000 during the war.
 Taxes and revenues other than borrowed money took care of $9,384,- 1000, or about G9 percent of the war cost. The remainder came from Liberty bonds and Victory note is sues and saving stamps.
 Further issues of bonds, Mr. Glass said, will not be necessary "before the maturity or redemption of the Victory notes,' which have four years to run. While it is impossible to estimate the expenses to be incurred during the present fiscal year, the secretary is confident that treasury certificates supplemented by short term notes will provide the necessary funds to pay the governments debts.
 Neds for Economy.
 "I need scarcely to say," the secre- tary added, "that the realization of these sanguine expectations is con- tingent upon the practice of the most rigid economy by the government and the continuance of ample reven- ues from taxation. Such a course, accompanied by the practice of sober economy and wise investment by our people and strict avoidance of waste and speculation, will make it possible for the American people to respond to the demands to be made upon them privately for capital and credit by the nations of Europe-demands which are reinforced by the strongest and most vital ties of sympathy for the allies, who fought and won the war with us-as we'll as by the most obvious dictates of self interest"
 Loans Not Deducted
 In calculating the war cost, Secre- tary Glass made no deduction of ex- fenGitures for loans to the allies which amounted to $9,1O2, 2,O0Q,OO0 or | 'uAt oO, OI IOI OCfloI lIlVcSbInGIUS such as ships, stock of the war fin ance corporation, bonds of the federal land banks, etc. The gross public debt June 30, without deducting sucf investments, was 1925, ASA, ,0O0,00O, 8 net increase for the war period o1 $23, ,O43, 19O346, representing the ex. | cess of disbursements over receipts.

FORT poD6E'S NIGHT.

For: Dodge police raised merry to-
phet with traffic law violators Monday
evening. Between s o'clock and mid
night they brought in seventy one and
assessed practically all of them IS
each. Prominent people seem TO have
been just common folks in this cru
sade. Where they could not find the
owner of a car parked in violation
they simply showed the car over to po-
lice headquarters and waited for the
owner to come. Most OF the arrests
seem to have been for cutting corners
and lack Of or misuse Of DINNERS and
for excess speed. Anyway the police
took a squirt and captured seventy one.
They say that the crusade is not a
crusade but a policy and that violators
will be promptly arrested henceforth
and forever until the law is obeyed.
If the promise is kept by the police
and the violators rounded up from
morn to midnight and later when OPP
portunity presents TT. Dodge will be-
come the model traffic town in the
state inside a week. Of course should
the authorities then fall asleep again
and fall back on warnings" instead Of
keeping up the good work a few days
will bring back the old condition. But
with constant effort and the theory
that all men look alike to the law and
the officers behind a steering wheel
there will be no difficulty in enforc-
ing observance of the law in Fit. Dodge
or elsewhere.
The American public takes all the
Ieeway offered. II one or a half doz-
en- persons seem to be above the law
by reason Of influence or acquaint-
ance the public is quick to see 1t and
do as those Romans do. II the attitude
Of the law enforcing authorities is
negligent and slack the public sees 1t
at glance and takes advantage Of it!

Tho current question IL, are prices
Of Il ON 5000 to $500 per acre too high
to pay for Iowa land? Tho most Of the
sales are being made At figures within
these extremes. It II generally rocog-
nized that a $500 or $500 farm has ad-
vantages over and above the mere
acreage production, such as proximity
to q city. unusually good buildings and
the like.
Study the $500 land. In tho first
place there Is interest at 8 per cent,
which means that there must be q
profit Of SIS on every acre for interest
alone. Then the taxes and upkeep
must be considered In addition to the
labor Of doing the years work. Over
and above these obligations tho sum
left is for profit to go for paying for
the land. This Is what the owner
faces. .
On the other hand. with the increas-
ed attention to intensive farming and
the approach OF hard-surfaced roads,
farm lands are bound to be worth more
money. Intensive farming will mean
the growing Of two blades where one
grew before, and with the 385- days-a
year highway, market conditions will
be vastly more favorable to the farm
er. Just now 1t Is difficult to say to
what extent the intensive farming and
accessible markets will affect the high
prices Of lands. Reconstruction of

William Taylor Adams. who wrote
under the name Of Oliver Optic. and
vino is credited with something like
600 short stories and more than sixty
books. must have led an exceedingly
busy life. For he was teacher a
school principal, Sunday scnooi
teacher; he served a term in the legls-
lature; he was q magazine editor, ana
he took any number Of trips to Eu-
rope.
He was born at Midway, Mass. and
came from an excellent English ram
ily. AS a boy he was very fond OF
writing, but did INST think at ffrst 10
make it a profession. He began 10
teach when he was 81, and for invent!
wears he was a school principal. having
sometimes am many as 1000 pupils I'M
der him.
This brought him so much in con-
tact with boys and girls that his stories
naturally took the form Of tales abou'
half-erown children. The tales al
ways ended with a moral, not too care
fully hidden, OF course, since he was
both Instructor and Sunday school
teacher. Yet the stories contained
enough adventure to fascinate the chill
dren. There were altogether more than
a million copies of the books sold.
Every child possessed at least one
book, or certainly had read some OF
them.
From his Europeon trips he obtain
ed BACKGROUND for many OF his DOCKS
and stories. Underneath a god deal OF
exaegeration, perhaps. there was real
merit in the Optic books.
