HERE'S A SUPER-BOY.

A contest on Who Has the Best
Boy" was started recently by a daily
newspaper and hosts Of eager par
ents are entering their sons as con-
testants. The qualifications are not
of birth, money and race. athletic
prowess or ability to read Latin, but
just the all around characteristics
which go to make up a good all
round boy. The lad who bids fair to
take the prize is thus described by
his mother:
HE is IA years old, in his second
year high school, drove a truck all
summer, earning IS a day; raises
ponies and rabbits; drives the fam
lily touring car, sells real estate for
his father; ran an ice cream stand
at the base ball games; plays the
piano; sings; can knit, sew and
mend; can and does cook, wash dish
es and help his mother with the
housework including ironing; swims,
skates and rides bicycle and rides
horse back; takes care of his little
sister; is skilled in light work. has
a fine disposition and is popular"
It's quite an imposing list, but the
fine thing about 1t is that 1t is true.
and that while this list is longer
than some that Were entered there

type that it shows the good old-fash-

The Automobile in the Country.

Some Of the financial wise men
are again predicting that the auto
mobile industry has reached its
peak.
We don't think so. Perhaps there
is a peak in sight for the machines
that today are running much above
$4,000 in price, but below that there
are years of good business ahead.
Only a few days ago the maker OF
one Of the cheaper-priced autos gave
orders to increase the production 33
per cent for the coming year. Other
makers that are able to make in
quantity good machine and deliver
promptly are no doubt preparing for
the same thing.
The degree of prosperity in this
industry depends, of course, on how
good the times are going to be. They
needn't be especially flush in this
connection. If crops are reasonably
good, there will continue to be much
buying of automobiles in the smaller
towns and on the farms. The auto
mobile has been such boom to the
countryside that nearly everybody
must have one before the movement
is closed. The automobile has made
the farmer city man. 1t has brct
him pleasures and many new COM
forts that he ought to have and that
everybody should be glad to see him
have.
II the big cities are near satura-
ton with automobiles the country is
not, even though it has been a large
buyer in the past.

Opera House Pays Nice Dividend

Owners of the opera house stock

$1,000 Per Acre Rent.

Oelwein Register: 1t is evident
hat farm rentals in this part of
owa are going up. A year or two
ago SIS per acre sounded like high
price, even for the best farms. Now
it is a very modest figure for such.

bring s22.

deluged with applications. He put his

three good renters are willing and
anxious to get 1t at that. 1t is a
question with Mr. Babinet which one
to take.
They do not kick on the price.

wAUKON WOMEN VOTERS.
Returns of Poll Taken Show Decided
Leaning Towards Republican
Party.

| The past two weeks a poll ha;
eeen made of the women voters o.
Waukon, the poll being conducted
by the combined efforts Of both the
republican and democratic commit
tees.
The returns show a decided lean.
ing towards the republican party
principles and that the regular re.
publican majority of this county OF
former years will be sustained by
The gentler sex in the large suffrage
vote to be added this year.
Women voters We're questioned as
to their party preferment and many
did not care to divulge which party
they would affiliate with, or had not
made up their minds as to which pol
icies they were in favor of support
ing.
The following canvass by wards
will give an insight into the pro-
liable ultimate percentages at the
fall election:
First ward-Number canvassed
1856; republican III, democratic 25,
no party A.
Second ward-Number canvassed
ITS; republicans 11S, democrats 30,
no party 81.
Third ward-Number canvassed

no party s.
Total vote canvassed SIT. Repub-
lican $50, democratic ia, no party
SO. Even if all signifying party af-
filiations were counted among the
democratic columns, the republican
vote among the women would lead
by fully a hundred per cent
The above figures would be fair
comparison throughout the country
according to the representations of
political leaders. If-such is the case
it will mean that the republican ma
jority will be enlarged in the same
proportions as the new vote added.
With the circle back on the ballot.
a strong national. state and county
republican ticket in the field, the
outcome of the fall election is not
hard to forecast.
The women voters are studiously
taking the matter of franchise upon
themselves and will cast an intelli-
gent ballot, and if we are not really
mistaken, the ballot this fall will re-
veal less spoiled ballots among those
cast by the gentler sex than those of
the male persuasion.

GROWING ABOUT POPULATION.
Some Of the Big Cities Boomirx II
As a Wonderful Thug.

The ten or fifteen largest cities
in the United States are still Growing
about their largely increased pcpu-
lations, as shown by the 1920 cen
sus.
ror the life of us we can't see what
they have to brag aooit. When you
so to one of these ovsrgcown COM
munities, the first thing that strikes
you is the crowded street ears.
Crowded? That's mil word. They
are Packed and it is eommon to see
men hanging on to the steps and the
dash boards behind in actual dan
ger of their lives. None of these
big cities have enough street cars.
Moreover, it is part of the traction
companies financial policy to have
packed street cars during several
hours of the day.
Pick up a newspaper in any of
these big cities and you learn that
the city man hasn't enough homes
to shelter its huge population. Every
one of them is short from 5000 to
100000 houses or living apartments.
Result: Working people paying from
$50 to 1925 month for a five or
six-room house or flat.
The school term opened recently
in all these cities. None of them
has enough room for all the children
of school age. In an average big
town like Cleveland or Pittsburg or
Detroit tens of thousands of child
rem cannot be Accommodated. Hun
dreds of schoolrooms have 20 to 40
pupils too many, so that none in the
room can be properly educated.
Some day, cities will take pride
not in great populations, but in the
fact that people can ride to work
and back again comfortably, that
they have horses enough for every
family and that there are schools
enough to properly educate their
little children.

Steal 200 Chickens.

Strawberry Point Press: Last
Saturday evening while the Jas. AL
derson family was in town some
thieves went to their place and stole
about 200 chickens. They did not
miss their loss until the following
day and have no idea who the thieves
lwere. The Alderson's live about two
miles south Of town and a quar-
ter Of a mile off the road. Farmers
can expect within the coming few
months more or less stealing, and
should load their shot guns with
good shot and take good aim so they
will hit unwelcome providers. The
world is better off without thieves
and will never miss them when they
are gone. No sobbing should be
done when a man is filled with shot
while robbing hen roosts.

Earning and Spending.

Oelwein Register: 1t has been
found that two families out of three
who are classed as poor owe their
condition to bad habits of spending
money rather than actual lack OF
money. 1t is almost as important
therefore, that we learn how to spend
money as how to make it. 1t has
been said that even the great world
war would have been worth all it
cost il it had only taught US as a
nation how to be economical. A
great educational movement is on
foot to teach boys and girls even in
the early grades of the school how
to spend money intelligently. One of
the first steps is to learn to keep a
budget Of expenses, no matter how
small they may seem. With such a
boy begins life with an
excellent start in the right direct
ion.

MONEY FOR CAMPAIGN.
Republican Campaign Contributions
Limited to $1,000.

Contributions 90 the Republican
Campaign are limited to $1,000. A
GOOD many individuals give $1,000,
but the greater number of donations
are in smaller amounts. Iowa has
been requested to raise $125,O 900, of
which $4,000 is for State Chair
man Rawson. OF the balance, a good
portion will be spent in the Iowa
Senatorial and Congressional fights.
Everyone understands the necessity
of money to conduct a campaign.
This is the year of all years when
republicans should take stock in
their party and assist not only with
their money. but influence in win
ming a great victory in November.
In the republican campaign this
year, the purpose is to finance the
organization, both state and ma
tional, by popular subscriptions. The
plan is proper and is meeting with
considerable success in some locali-
ties, but not in others. Iowa has been
called upon for 1925. 10000 of
which $50,000 is for state purposes,
the balance for national including
Senatorial and Congressional con-
tests in the state. Each county has
been asked to give stated sum, not
a burdonsome amount on any one.
See your county chairman or pre-
cinct committeeman and make your
contribution. Your county chairman
will appreciate lift, for whatever
helps the state and national tick
cts will strengthen the local stu
alton.
The Republican State and Nation
al committees are conducting the
campaign this year with every effort
to keep the public informed of just
what is going on. This applies to
the inside management and to the
finances as well. II is no secret that
money is required for publicity,
literature, speakers, railroad fares
and hundred other items that call
Tor expenditures. The best informaz
ton now at hand leads to the con-
clusion that sum of $3,600,000 will
lie necessary to conduct the national
campaign, or about 20 cents a voter.
a very Insignificant sum considering
all that must be done. Iowa has been
asked for S125.O0O of which $780,
600 is to be returned to State
Chairman Rawson for his use in the
campaign for the election of state
officers. Eack county has been re-
quested to raise a portion of this
amount.
