County treasurers Of Iowa, meeting
at Des Moines, have decided to ask
the next legislature to permit them
to deduct from each automobile IL
cense the sum OF Is cents to maintain
the county automobile department In
each county treasurer's office. At
present the expense of keeping an
extra clerk Nor using part Of some
clerks time. for the collection of the
tax, must come out Of the general
fund. 1t is said by the treasurers
that there is no reason why. the cost

Lifebo at Launching Made Safe.

The hurried launching Of lifeboats
from disabled vessels is usually at
tended by confusion and danger. An
eastern shipyard worker has devised
a new method OF lowering the boats
that carries them forty feet away
from the ships side, lays them on
an even keel. and gives them a for
ward impulse, says Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. The small boat. In
stead of hanging in davits, rests In
a cradle supported by three parallel
inclined arms. which are pivoted
near the water line and guyed by
cables attached above.

GOOD FISHING ANYWHERE.

what the smart guys Were pleased to
dub as hayseeds.' This year the
complexion Of the list changed con-
siderably. An expose of the list OF
shareholders of the defunct pack

IA MENACE TO SOCIETY.
IOelwein Iowan.l

As an experiment in psychology
we offered the one-legged beggar
who was around soliciting, job as
sembling catalogue and book pages:
1T was something at which he could
sit down and work, and no special
skill or training is required; the
simplest of mechanical detail with
no thinking necessary. But he re-.
fused the offer saying, Il haven't
any head for that kind Of work"
What he meant was I don't want to
work"
He is Just as capable Of working
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1920-08-26

as many of us, and more able than
some who are earning a living, in
stead OF begging and depending on
cry time he Is given a coin, be 1t
small or large, asdirect blow is hit
at honest labor and the people who
are striving daily to build and keep
living the independent American
spirit. Every time he receives a help
in his begging premium is put up
on others giving up productive la
Dor, and doing as he is. 1t is merely
helping to put another spoke in the
wheel Of a vicious circle. Society
each year spends thousands Of dob
lars to care for those who are really
unable to care for themselves and
become desirable citizens who are
an asset to the country, instead Of q
leach living off of others, so when
ever help Is given to individuals the
expense Is simply doubled and the
united effort is defeated in its pur-
pose OF helping unfortunates.

ADVENTURES IN BUNcoMBIA.
Chapter Politics.
Once every four years In Bun
combia a high exalted BunconnD,an
was chosen. First the chieftains OF
the Buncombian tribes met In con-
yention to name a candidate. The
nation prided itself on what L. called
popular government and SO when the
chieftains picked man they were
always careful to proclaim that .,e
was the peoples choice.
There was a curious method OF
selecting the candidate. y First the
men whom thei chieftains diu not
approve were eliminated by what
was known as q deadlock and then
the other candidates were array
ed on the platform. A bombardment
with mud then began and the man
who came out cleanest was chosen.
Then the campaign got under way
There were speeches and refresh
ments and fireworks In the interest OF
the rival candidates. There was
more Of the mud bombardment. Bit
the majority of the people paid little
if any attention to the proceedings
They couldlnot give their time to the
selection Of the people who would
rule their country. make their laws
and practically assume control OF
their lives. They were too busy with
ouija boards, jazz and the movies.
Numbered, the traveller. wondered
at this and on election day he APP
preached group Of citizens and
said:
rs not this procedure Of election
the most important task OF the oiti-
zen 2"
And they laughed out loud at
Numbered.
And Numbered wondered at the
ways Of Buncombia.

The universe is torn by strife,

And poisoned teachings of the red;
Beloved peace, alas, is dead,
There seems no end Of bloody fray;
But. spite Of all. let this be said:

How very wicked Is our life!
Morality, it seems has fed;
The devils whisperings are rife.
BY all his whims the world Is led
And evil lifts Its leerins head;
Q. soon or late, we ell must pay:
But spite Of all. let this be said:
Ruth hit another one today.
We dance to Satin's shrilling fife,
Forget the path where virtues tread
And every man and every wife
To frivol and to jazx is wed.
Where once they prayed they dance

There is no need tor Wisdom's ray;
But. spite of all, let.t this be said:

And plead with them to stop and
