n PAYS TO READ THE ADS

Il wish this old paper wouldn't
print SO many advertisements" said
Mary as she sat on the porch with
the Record in her hands. Here's
whole pages with hardly a word of
reading on them"
why, get lot of news from the
advertisements" said her mother,
who had been waiting patiently until
Mary got through with the paper
we learn a lot about the folks We
know from the ads in the classified
column, and l find out a good many
interesting things in lost and found
and help wanted Then I've learn
ed a good many devices that have
helped me in the house work; AMI
father has found new things to bet
ter the results of his farming. Many
of the new implement are first an
nounced through the ads. I think |
couldn't keep abreast of what is go
ing Oh if l didn't know what was be-
ing advertised"
Besides" spoke up father, who
had CINE to know the publisher of
the paper, "the editor tells me that
the advertisements are what pays for
the paper, and that he couldn't run
it from the subscription money alone.
OF course, he wants all the subscrib-
ers ne can get. But when Aunt EN-
lily Lucas stops her subscription be-
cause the new size of the paper does,
not fit her pantry shelves, she would
not be surprised that the editor
doesn't go out of business.
'You see, it takes all classes to
make a paper-publishers, readers
and advertisers. 1t comes pretty
near being a cooperative enterprise
with the publisher as the manager of
the -Ioh for all of u.s."

INDIAN MYTHS
TELL STORIES
Simple Beauty of the Original is Lost
When Translated Into English
of White Man-One Con-
Germs Mandan Tribe.

The fundamntal simplicity of the
American aboriginie is illustrated
best in the Indian myths and LEGENDS
which have come down to US, asserted
DR.. Rudolph Rieder in recent ac-
dress before the Wisconsin Archae-
logical society
"These fuyths," Dr. Rieier said
according TO the Milwaukee Sentinef,
"cannot be translated into pretty
phrases, as in that case the simple
beauty of the original IS los,.
There is a rather fnteresttrrs
legend concerning the origin of the
Mandan tribe. It says that once the
Mandans lived underground IN a cave.
from which large vine grew. One
young warrior climbed up this vine
one day and liked tire country so welI
that he induced several Of his tribes
men to follow him up the vine into
the world outside. Several chiefs and
warriors did SO, as well as many
women. but when a fat woman tried
to climb out OF the cave, against the
counsel of the chiefs. the vine broke
and the rest of the Mandan tribe had
to remain underground. This fable
may account for the fact that the
Mandans were a relatively small
tribe and also for their antipathy to
fat women"

ANCIENTS HAD
SAME CUSTOM
They Laid Corner Stones in Public
Buildings With Elaborate
Ceremonies as People
Do Today

The custom Of laying the corner.
stone of a public building with cere-
monies. was practiced by the
-ancients, says an exchange. At the
LAYING of the cornerstone when the
capitol of Rome was rebuilt a pro
cession of yestal virgins, robed IN
white, surrounded the stone and con-
secrated It with libations of living
water. A prayer tpgtfe gods followed
and then the magistrates. priests.
senators and knights laid hold of the
ropes and moved theEmighty stone 70
its proper position. In a hollow cut
in the stone were placed ingots OF
gold. silver and other metals which
had not been melted in any furnace.
with the Jews the cornerstone was
considered an emblem Of power, and
they also performed ceremonies at
its laying. In medieval times the rite
was taken up by the Free Masona
and has by them been brought down
10 modern days, the Masonic cere-
nony of laying a cornerstone being
symbolical.

More Efficient Service Win Result
From Dividing State Into Eight
Districts Instead of
One.
N oTTUMWA AT TILE HEAD
keokuk Would be in One District
With That City as the Chief
Place of Busi-
ness.

More efficient service for IowanS
from the internal revenue law depart
ment Of the federal government is
promised il the present plans for re-
districting the state into eight dis
tricts instead of one and in which the
affairs regarding taxes will be cared
for, according 10 R, G. Wolfe, the zone
department collector for Iowa who is
in Keokuk at this time.
Mr.. Wolfe is here collecting perma-
nent data in regard to all tax payers
in the county in addition to those per-
sons paying income taxes which phase
of the work Mr. Wolfe investigated
here early in the spring. AT the pres
ent time there is one district in Iowa
located at Dubuque where all matters
pertaining to the federal government
and taxes of Iowa people are taken
care of. If the new plan works out,
and the state is divided into eight dis
tricts with each one Of them function
ing all of the duties of the one at Du-
buaue for its district, the system will
tend to bring the federal government
closer to- the people and will be able to
render them more efficient service.
1t will take practically a year TO
complete the redistricting of the state
and the collecting of all the necessary
information from each county con-
cerning its taxes before the new pro-
gram will be in good working order,
Mr. Wolfe said this morning upon his
return to Keokuk from Fort Madison,
but when il does, ii is expected to be
entirely satisfactory, if enough work
ers are placed in the district. keokuk
will have its headquarters at Ottum-
wa under the new system and people
here will be able to have their mat
tiers of taxation in which the federal
government is concerned taken care
OF more promptly than formerly when
they were compelled to refer their
matters to Dubuque.
Iowa is not the first state to adopt
this method of handling its problems
of internal revenue laws, but it is
among the early ones TO do so.
Mr.. Wolfe will be in keokuk some
time working on records at the court
house and collecting data concerning
all taxpayers in the county. He was
here six weeks ago Strengthening out
matters in regard to the delinquent
income tax payers. Keokuk is his

partment collector in the state

HUNGARY is
IN TROUBLE
Country Practically Isolated When
Postal, Telegraph, Telephone and
Railway Workers All Join
Strike.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
VIENNA, June 81. - Hungary was
practically isolated today as a result
of the international labor boycott.
The majority of postal, telegraph, tele-
phone, railway and navigation en-
ployes Of Austria, Czecho-Sloyakia-
Poland and Italy have joined in the
ban which the international trade un-
ion placed upon Hungary. Unless
Hungary yields within a week, the
boycott will be extended to passenger
traffic, union leaders said today. The
Hun garian ministry was expected to
resign as a result Of the boycott
Conditions on which the boycott
would be abandoned were presented
by the Hungarian socialists and in
cluded free speech and free assembly,
cessations of prosecutions against
radicals, civil instead of military sup
ervision of political prisoners and re-
establishment Of jury trials.

WILL THE LUNCH
BOX COME. BACK
Pioneers in the Overall Movement
Also Advocate a Return TO the
Oid-F Fsahioned, Home
' Made Lunch.

Pioneers in the overalls movement
are now starting a 1unchbox move
ment that may be equally well SUP.
ported. 'Why should any man or
woman go out at II or 1890 or
o'clock TO eat a lunch costing a dol
lar or more?" "Who would not pre-
fer the sandwich and pickle and ba-
mana and coffee flask of home pro
duction" If in many parts of the
United States judges can sit in over
alls, preachers can preach in bue
denim, perhaps the banh clerk the
floorwalker, the saleslady, may re
vert to the midday diet of olIen
times, the Brooklyn Eagle believes
Perhaps. The reasons for doing 50
are obvious Two years ago there
were still free lunch counters IN
many drinking places. though they
were gradually disappearing The
cheapest way a man could lunch wa3
to pay a nickel for a glass of beer
and MUNICH some crackers and cheese
with. He didn't suffer in the estima'
ton of his co-workers by so doing
He could take his snack while he was
settling the affairs of the universe in
amicable or heated discussions Pro
hibition has come and all that IS
ended. Lunch places are so crowded
that the lunchhox advocates declare,
with plausibility. that the wait need
ed to be served would give time for
/ a helpful stroll in the open air. Rates
are way up everywhere The proven
der offered is way down.
Prohibition has hit the girl and
woman workers in another way,
Most of them, or at least many OF
them, preferred ice cream soda and
chocolates to anything else. They
keep the preference, but the sweets
have been swelled By an artificial
demand for sugar Surely the home
sandwich, etc, would be better for
them all.
Some doctors hold that in an age
of oyereating the habit of taking no
lunch at all is to be encouraged.
Their views also deserve considera-
tion. But against til innovation
there is the charm of real break N
the routine Of office or shop that the
lunch hour affords, and universal use
of the lpnchbox is not likely to come
in the near future.
