was impossible to reserve starting
time. But whether they play or not,
there are enough stars left to make the
tournament a big affair.
Play began at s o'clock and a steady
stream of players left the tee at five
minute intervals. II will be nearly
- o'clock before the last player is sent
away. Then the afternoon round will
begin. The players will play thirty
six holes over the championship cast
course.
The original intention was TO play
eighteen holes over the cast course and
eighteen over the west. but the wet
weather and the difficulty Of getting
both courses in trim made it necessary
TO cOntino the play to the east course.

Crazy Ballooning of Prices.

Hogs went up to $3.50 the other
day. They are bidding them up. II
is said that Canadian buyers are
still influencing the prices to fulfil
their English contracts. They must
have the hogs. 1t is a temporary snap
for the farmers but it is an unna-
tural elevation Of prices. Every right
thinking man must regard such bal
looming rather than rejoice in it,
The truth is that corn and hogs
ought both to come down. No man of
any business outlook can feel that
such prices will be or ought to be
permanent, or even long continued.
The process of marking up every
thing has to come to an end, or there
will be a smash up somewhere. In
flation is always one of the worst
things for a country and the peo-
pie who reap the benefits of such
movements may afterwards be COM
PEELED to suffer for it. The same re-
marks apply to some land prices that
have recently been made In Iowa.
1t might be more popular to shout
with the rest of the boomers and
spectators and boast and brag on
Iowa, but men who think alright
know that it is more or less fictitious
and the fictions do not last in bust.

same time for if we are all confined

DAY OF THE SMALL HOUSE.
Young Married. People Look for Con.
venience, Few Steps, Little Space
to Cover

The bride Of 20 years ago used to
long for a large, lavish house. II
fortune had favored her, she sought
an ample dwelling with perhaps 10
or II or more rooms, and apartments
for all kinds of purposes. Most pros
porous towns are full of dwellings of
this type, many of which are hard to
rent or sell in these days.
In those days labor was cheap, and
a big house could be kept up with
out great expense for repairs. The
hired girl of those days was often
glad to work for $500 week and
board. Life went very smoothly in
these fine old mansions. Many of
them were wonderful centers of re-
fined and handsome living, at
moderate cost.
! Today this type of house finds but
a limited market. The wealthy, who
can pay any price for services of all
kinds, still look for ample spaces.
But a great many people who would
have been thought very successful 10
years ago, find they can not swing
the old time ample place any more.
They clamor at the real estate agen-
cies for small houses. The big dwell
ling, once SO eagerly sought for, is
the last to be rented or sold. It's ele-
gance is likely to fade into decay, as
it is neglected from year to year by
owners who can not pay the going
prices for renovations.
1t is quite likely to be cut into
suites, or be a boarding house, and
it's grandure Of yesterday become
dingy and forlorn.
This is the day of the small home.
Young married people look for con-
venience, few steps, little space to
cover, and cutting down OF mainten-
ance bills. 1t Is part of the great
mapual workers are obtaining better
homes, while the more favored class
es are finding that they must live
more like the mass of humanity.
How the Government Does 1t.
! We have been told that ia man liv-
ing not thousand milest from Grun-
dy Center had an article that he
wished to sell and had offered it for
$500 Not finding buyer he placed
an advertisement in a newspaper de-
scribing the article and it happened
to be something that could be used
at Camp Dodge during the construc-
ton of that camp. A government en-
ploye was sent to investigate the ar
ticle and the owner was offered 500.
OF course the government, was not
long in owning the article. But we
have been wondering if all the army
supplies were purchased with the
same recklessness and disregard OF
values. If so 10 it any wonder that we
have to pay war tax on everything
we eat, drink and wear? Here was
an instance where $500 more was
paid for an article than the owner
would have been glad to have taken
. for it, and that much more than he
was asking for it at home.-Grundy

DRY ACT is CALLED VOID
BY TWO FEDERAL COURTS
ure Conflicts With the Eight
eenth Amendment.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 13.-Attorneys
for distilling interests won another
round in the fight on wartime prohibi-
ton in federal district court here.
Judge Evans, in a case brought by
Louisville distillers, announced from
the bench his belief that the law is un-
constitutional. At the conclusion of
the pleas Of attorneys he said he would
issue an injunction restraining govern
ment interference with the sale of the
distillerS' tax-paid whisky. Whether
the injunction would be temporary or
permanent, the court said, rested with
Attorney General Palmer.
Providence, r. l., Nov. 13.-Judge
Arthur l.. Brown of the federal dis
trict court issued temporary injunc-
ton against Harvey A. Baker, United
States attorney, and George f. Shaun
essy, collector of internal revenue, re-
straining them from enforcing the
provisions of the wartime prohibition
act. The injunction was issued upon
the petition of the Narragansett
brewing cOupduy. IHe Sale VI + pei
cent beer was Immediately resumed
by Providence liquor dealers.
The opinion is the first construction
of the Volstead prohibition enforce
menD act handed down by any court
in the country. While nominally it
restraints the federal officials in this
jurisdiction from enforcing title l of
that act against the Narragansett
Brewing company, it virtually states
the belief of the court that the entire
wartime prohibition act is unconstitu-
tional and cannot be enforced.

FRENCH SCORN YANK SMOKES
Do Without Tobacco Unless They Can
Get Their Own Favorite
Mixture.

Paris.-The opinion of the average
French smoker is that the government
will not readily dispose Of the billion
packages of American cigarettes and
enormous quantity of smoking tobac-
co bought of the American expedition
airy force.
He admits that both cigarettes and
tobacco are prepared with greater fin
ish, that the quality may be finer, but
he has the habit of the old French
brand of tobacco, which is coarser,
stronger and produces a far more dis
agreeable odor, and he wants no other.
The French brand, however, is
scarce. It is distributed to the tobac-
co shops but once week, in limited
quantities, and, rather than accept the
American substitute, the French smok-
er gets out early and stands in line
patiently for two hours, in the hope
of reflling his pouch.
Sometimes he goes away disappoint-
ed, the supply having given out before
his turn came, but rarely does he
accept the American substitute, which
is not to his taste, and, moreover, is
twice as costly.
