Iowa has an enviable record in bank
ing circles. In addition to leading all
the states in the union in the number
of banks. the state has more million
dollar banks with fewer failures per
capita than any other state in the
union. with this record the state is a
most important factor in the middle
west organization of banks which has
I4s more banks than the Pacific coast
states and fourteen southern states
combined. Associated with Iowa are
the states of Nebraska North and
South Dakota and Minnesota. Hun
dreds of millions Of dollars business IS
handled annually by this great organ
ization Of banks and il is for a con-
ference Of methods and plans that the
Iowa bankers are converting this week.

WHEN WOMEN VOTE.
rCa rroil Herald

We don't look for much difference in
the result of elections in Iowa because
the women will vote. The relative
strength OF the leading parties will be
the same. though II will be probably
harder for crooked politicians TO get
by and reach official preferment.

We may consider from this test,
therefore. that Iowa will adopt the
paved roads system just about as fast
as the counties can get TO it.. After
this start, II Is indeed backward
county that will not follow suit as its
vote is taken.

while campaigns OF determination
are vssed against other pests. none
IL ever conducted against the man
who borrows = pencil for moment
and sticks Il in his pocket" complains
the Sioux City Journal.
Rock Rapids Review can not get
interested in graveling because II feels
that the only way to solve the road
problem Is To solve 1t in a way that "
will stay solyed-at least for several
years. Graveled roads are all right
under ideal weather conditions, but so
are dirt roads. No one would want
better driveway than the average Lyon
county road under right conditions. II
Is for rainy and sloppy weather that
we need hard surfaced roads. the KIND
Of weather that kept our dirt roads out
Of business nearly all winter ana
spring"
The Charter Oak Times says
wherever elections have been held
Except in Story county, the good
roads proposition has carried. You see
all those whose land is a mile or two
from the roads want the paving ne
cause IL will cost them nothing and
those near the line want II because II
will increase the value OF the land so
much. The only fellow who votes
against II IL the one In town too poor
TO buy a car. and there are not many
Of him.

All that is necessary TO do with an
opponent Of paving is TO take him over
some OF the streets of the city that
are unpaved. He will either be con-
verted to the need OF paving or else
there is no hope for him.

UNIONS USERS TO BOIL WATER
oround Watsr Abnormally High and
eowrso q Supply Likely to Be Con-
teminatsd-May Be pisinfeeted BY
Use Of Chlorine or BY Boiling Five
Minutes-Danser After Every Rain.

Iowa City, July IA warning from
the state water bacteriologist cautions
/, all persons using water from wells TO
boil or disinfect it before drinking
water expert declares, have brought
the level of the ground water abnor-
mally high and even wells that are
usually safe are now in great danger
Of being polluted.
Miss Zentmire states that the ma
| jority Of samples sent to the university
OF Iowa within the past two weeks for
/ examination are from wells which are
markedly affected by heavy rains and
often from wells where the water
stands within ten feet Of the surface.
The rains OF the last month have caus-
ed the water to pass thru the soil, too
rapidly or for too short a distance to
insure proper publication. If ground
( water Is not purified by passage thru
the soil, 1t must be cleansed by artifi-
cial methods.
Natural publication Of the water,
Miss Zentmire declares, can not be eX-
pected to have taken place when the
depth is noticeably increased after a
heavy rain, when the water is tempo
rarily turbid after rains, or when the
level is SO high that passage thru the
ground may be for distance Of less
than ten feet
To remove al danger the water BAG
teriologist suggests that the water be
: -disinifected by chlorine or be boiled
five minutes. Even If samples Of wat
er from such wells have been sent to
the state laboratories and declared,
after being tested, safe the well might
be made still polluted temporarily and
the water should be artificially puri-
fled. One month after the water has
been tested ard declared safe would be
a sufficient time for the water to be-
come badly polluted under conditions
Of rainfall and such as in the last few
weeks.
Even wells in which the water Is not
turbi0 after a rain are not necessarily
safe. Physical evidences Of pollution
are not always present. To judge the
safety Of any water supply the water
chemist must examine the data sheet
accompanying the sample and assure
herself that conditions around the well
are good, she must analyze the water
tacteriologically, and then must follow
with chemical analysis which gives
evidence Of the condition of the water
in both the present and past. A well
can not be considered safe unless every
one Of these examinations show no
evidences of pollution.

United Provinces, India, where q wild
looking creature, evidently female
child. since there are vaccination
marks on both Of her arms, has been
discovered in the jungle. Exposure
has caused q thick growth Of hair
down each side Of the face and spine,
which gives her the appearance of a
monkey. She evidently has always
walked upright, but her sitting posture
is that Of a monkey, as are all her &C.
tons. She Is, Of course, unable to
talk. The indications are that she
was abandoned in infancy and that
monkeys were her foster parents. The
natives in the bazaar, however, de-
clare that the child was reared by
bears.
