Here goes for an election forecast:

votes in Porto Rico. Hawaii, Alaska
and the Philippines. Harding will
lose his own precinct by a ten-to-one
vote. Every republican office hold
er in Iowa viii not only be defeated,
but mobbed, on election day. The
Irish republicans will all swing to
Cox and swing on Harding at sunrise
on election day and the German,
Italian Bohemian, Polish, Lithuanian,
Negro. nonpartisan, bolshevist, social
list, prohibition and Digger Indian
vote will march in dody to the
polls and vote for Cox. The repub-
lican party will disband shortly after
the polls close and Hiram Johnson
will commit suicide by kissing Elihu
Root. All republicans holding any
kind Of public office will be lynched
the day after election by the indig-
nant people. President Wilson will
call congress in an extraordinary
session thirty days after election and
a law will be passed, to take effect
Immediately, that any man known to
be republican will be deported for

going to be democratic landslide.

KEEP THE ROADS OPEN.

lNOILuWOOu AnCQOr.l
Last winter there was practically
no time between the first of jan
uary and spring when it was possible,
with any safety. to negotiate the trip
from Waterloo to Dubuque in an au-
tomobile. Portions of the distance
were open all winter; other portions
We're closed nearly all winter. A
county seat of 5000 people was prac-
tically cut off from the outside world
except by rail and hobs, for weeks,
and 1t is a notorious fact that this
town lost vast amount of business
on that account. The expenditure Of
a relatively small amount of money
would have opened the roads, after
which traffic would have kept them
open.
The road from Waterloo to indie
pendence was open practically all
winter, after fashion. This was ac-
complished by means Of an ordinary
road grader. To make this method
work out, it must be started with the
first considerable fall Of snow and
kept up. If this is done, good road,
suitable for automobile use may be
maintained. If the roads are per-
mitted to fill up, pack down, melt and
freeze, then the common grader will
not avail.
1t would seem to be the part of
wisdom for city authorities and coun-
ty boards, to take up this subject and
act. Eventually, why not now?" The
public is rot going to stand for hav-
ing the main highways tied up for
traffic six months Of the year. They
have stood for it, and they may stand
for it little while longer, but it will
not be for long.

1920 Election Song.

Call me early, hubby dear,
Tomorrow is election day,
The busiest OF the year.
To miss my beauty Sleep" dearest
/ can not we'll afford
But I'm to be OF, the board, hubby,
I'm to be on the board!
For heavens sake remember,
Tho you lie awake all night,
It's up to you to call me
Before it's broad daylight.
I'll have to primp and powder;
must look my best, you know
And I'll take some toast and coffee,
II you please. before go.
And poach an egg,
And broil tiny bit of bacon, too
I've marked your sample ballot
So you'll not have that to do.
And just postpone your breakfast
Till you've hustled out the Ford
And rushed me to the polling place
For I'm to be on the board!
And lovey, do be careful,
Your wife is sure some sleuth-
She'll know just how you've voted,
Tho you fail to tell the truth;
So boost for all her candidates.
And show your common sense.
Your Jane is on the board honey,
She's not upon the fence"

MONEY IN GASOLINE.
- TDes Moines Regfster.l

= a 3
The Wall Street Journal has re-
Gently published two items of finan-
cial news that, put together. furnish
most interesting reading for the con-
sumner OF gasolene.
The first item refers to the in
creases in the cost Of gasolene Of the
last year:
1.-THE total advances in gasolene
prices since Jan. 1 in five principal
cities OF the country, representing
nearly every section, range from IL
to 26 per cent, the largest increase
being of 26 per cent in New York
and Philadelphia. Chicago shows an
advance of II per cent! It was be-
lieved b., many that the price would
advance to 40 or As cents a gallon,
and some went 80 far as to say SO
cents. The retail prices in New York
City is now around 35 cents gallon"
The second item has to do with
Standard Oil stocks in the stock mar
ket and particularly with the stock Of
the Standard OF Indiana, which is
given the Iowa field. In one day re-
Gently Standard of Indiana gained
twenty nine points in the market, go
ing from TIT to TAG.
We commend to the Iowa patron Of
the Standard Of Indiana this state
ment from the Journal:
ut is reported that net for 1920 is
expected to be in the neighborhood
of $5O,0OO,0O0, against $34,604,417 be-
fore taxes in 1919. On it's $50, 900, 900
