DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT this LAW
We Refer to the Automobile Law
That Went Into Effect Dec. 1.
Mr.. Auto Owner Better Get
Acquainted With 1t.
NEW LAW ON
OPERATING THE LIGHTS
You Must Get Your Number and Pa,'
Your Fees at the County
Treasurer's Office at Court
House.

What do you know about the auto
mobile law that went into effect Dec.
l, Mr.. Auto Owner? Have you famil-
iarized yourself with its provisions
and penalties If not are you going
to shout bloody murder and persecu-
ton when the officers sworn to do
their duty pick you up for violation.
or course you know that you must
get your number and pay your fees
at the county seat; that after Jan.
penalties begin to grow and accum IL
late; but have you arranged to
change your lights to conform to the
new law; Do you know that they car
not be more than thirty-two candle
power and that the direct beams, il
not diffused may not rise above AZ
inches at seventy-five feet from the
car; do you know that chauffeurs
must be over Is and licensed, ex-
cept drivers of motor trucks in mer-
camille and agricultural enterprises
ana that no person under 10 is per-
mitted to operate any car unless ac-
companied by mature person?
Those are some of the things yo,
must know in your own protection.
There are others of which if you are
ignorant are likely to make you
trouble and expense.
Better procure a copy of the auto
mobile laws which are now in effect
and inform yourselfh 1t may save
money and humiliation. Ignorance of
the law excuses none. You are sup
posed to protect yourself by taking
the time and trouble to look the law
over and conform to its provisions.
Now honest Indian, have you even
read the law? u

Fort Madison is Self-Supporting.

The state penitentiary at Fort
Madison established unique repu-
tation-that of being the first state
institution to be self-supporting
Members of the state board Of con-
troll made this announcement after
receiving the latest report from that
institution.
The prison farm and the prison
furniture factory have provided SUI
ficient revenue to care for the run
ming expenses of the penitentiary,
the board announced. The monthly
expenses of the institution are esti-
mated at $4,000.
At present there are asa inmates
in the penitentiary. This is consid-
cred an unusually small number for
that institution.
A thrift campaign inaugurated in
the prison has been a success, the
board reported. Inmates saving lit
tie sums of money weekly from their
prison labor check have been able to
send sums ranging from S27 to $35
to their families, members of the
board said.

ELECTRICITY AND
GAS CONSUMERS
One Little Electric Lighr Hulb Cats
a Big Figure in the Co,I Famine
at Present Tinm.
GAS CONSUMERS
CAN SitE TOO
1t Takes About Three AID Dnc-Jaird
Pounds of Coal to Produce KiIo-
watt Electrical Energy

Careless consumers of fuel should
stop to consider the little electric
bulb. When you turn On a light in
your home do you stop TO think mat
you are aiding in the exhaustion of
the nations fuel supply One little
light carelessly left burning on the
porch for few hours " in ths base
ment over night would seem Il small
matter as the consumption uf coal
goes, but when one considers the
amount of coal burned III the pi oduc-
tion of electricity for i !ifty-wa:t
light the staggering reality of USE
less waste from many sucn careless
Persons appears
To consume kilowat. ho1r of
electric current Q,00o watts running
one hour) this tifty-wat. light mnst
burn twenty hours. This means that
during every hour which ills light
is turned on one-twentieth of kilo-
watt hour of energy is being con-
sumed.
A kilowatt hour is / measure of
heat or energy and is e1hiraient to
the heat given off by tne perfect
combustion of about one-fcurth of a
pound of anthracite coai. 1t takes
much more than fourth of a pound
OF coal to produce this electrical
energy. however, as no steam engine
is perfectly efficient and much of the
current is lost along the transmits
sion lines, in transformers. etc.
Figuring on an efficiency of 10 per
cent for the power plant it is evident
that it takes about three and one
third pounds OF coal to produce a
kilowatt of electrical energy. After
accounting for what is lost in the
transmission lines, the figure will
amount to about four pounds of coal
for each kilowatt hour that reaches
the consumer.
Then a fifty-watt light using one
twentieth of a kilowatt will use one
twentieth of three and one-half
pounds of coal, or one-sixth of a
pound every hour it burns. In other
words six fifty-watt lights consume
pound of coal an hour.
The amounts can easily be figured
for lamps of other sizes. A twenty
five watt LAMP will burn twelve hours
on a pound of coal and a 100-watt
light only three hours.
To gas consumers the following
don'ts are recommended:
Don't light the gas until you are
ready to use it.
Don't boil kettleful of water
when you need only cupful.
Don't allow gas to burn a minute
longer than you need it.
Gas cannot be made without coal.
If housewives save on their gas con-
sumption tons of coal can be saved
and the service prolonged. Keep in
mind that should the miners all re-
! turn to work it will be months be-
fore conditions assume anything like
normal.

G. 0. =. Convention to Chicago.

Chicago was selected Wednesday
as the place for the republican ma
tional convention next year. June 8
was selected as the date for the con-
vention. The meeting was held in
Washington.
The selections were made by the
republican national committee. The
contest for the convention city was
to Chicago and st. Louis
and the vote was A for Chicago and
8 for st. Louis.
Governor McKelvie of Nebraska,
who delivered the last of the key
note speeches, declared American
ism was the outstanding issue.
The farmer, Governor Mckelvie
declared, had borne the burden of
the war and still was carrying more
than his share. He said every effort
of the democrats to aid the farmers
had been founded upon unsound
economic measures which only made
matters worse. The whole democratic
he said, had dealt
in theories and political policies
which were proved false many years
ago"

been on parole for one year, asked
the governor and parole board for
permanent discharges yesterday.
They have lived up to all obligations
contained in their parole contracts,

charges before Christmas. Until
granted final DISCHARGES they cannot
leave the confines of the state.

The HOME TOWN
MERCHANT
He is the Man We Look to When We
Want Contribution to Lawn
Party, Festival or Fair.
HE PULLS HIS POUND
OF HOME TOWN BURDEN
Let Us Keep That in Mind When
Pretty Pictures and Tempting
Words OF CatalOgs Appeal
To Us

When the home town needs a
boost, financial or otherwise, do we,
fellow, citizens, go TO the big city
merchant prince, the millionaire
owner of mail order store, for a
lift helping hand
Not so you could notice it,
We-all OF us-go TO the home
town merchant, the man, our neigh
Dor and friend, who sells dry goods,
groceries, shoes, hardware, furniture,
right here in the old home town.
That's the man We look for when
, We want a contribution to a lawn
party, festival, fair.
That's the man we ask to help us
buy a new church organ or uniforms
for the ball team.
That's the man we ask to put a
share of his savings into the new
creamery, the new laundry, or any
other new industry this town wants
and needs.
That's the man who pays taxes
here, and whose money helps finance
our schools, our town and county
, government, our streets and roads,
the fire department and the water
plant.
For he's a home town man and
pulls his pound of the home town
burden.
What do you think that a mail
order millionaire would say if we
asked him to do for this town what
is done willingly and cheerfully year
in and year out by every one of our
home town merchants
Why the mail order fellow would
laugh att you. ...... .
! He's mighty willing to fire a cata-
log point blank at you, but that's all
Any contributing done is done by
yourself, and the mail order man is
on the receiving end-ALWAYS!
He may after he has accumulated
some millions of small town dollars
present library, a park, a bathing
beach TO THE LARGE CITY where
he spends the dollars he coaxes from
small towns. You know, mail order
houses would starve if they had to
depend upon doing business with
the people who live in those large
cities.
1t is the small town, the agricul-
tural community, and the farms that
Iatten the mail order bank accounts.
And by so doing they bite the hand
that feeds them, the home town mer-
chants.
Let us keep that in mind. and weigh
it well, when pretty picture and
tempting words in mail order cata-
log appeal most alluringly.

revolution has brought yearning for
university training.
Thousands Of men who have been
, four years in the war crave studies,
especially in scientific subjects, which
are stable and a relief in this time
Of unrest" President Seeberg said.
The most remarkable addition to
our student body comes from the
numbers OF officers who have had pos
sibiIities of military careers cut of,
and who are turning TO law, medicine
and economics.
! Most OF the students fresh from the
war or army service have hard time
for the first two or three weeks re-
adjusting themselves. But after that
they recall their former training and
