When the barriers are broken down
and we see ourselves as we really are,
1t is sometimes humIliatlng spectacle.
This had happened to the masterful
man. For years Henry Travers had
regarded himself as the hard, cold,
analytical business man to whom the
sentimental side of life did not appeal.
This morning in his private Office he
was facing bare facts.
Arriving at his office and crossing to
hang up his coat-a spot from which
coEDer OF the outer Office could be
glimpsed--he had seen sight that had
thrown down the barriers of his self
deception and shown him an uncom-
promising truth. 1t was nothing but
a triyialty, perhaps, but It was suffi-
cient to make clear to him more than
he wanted to know.
Presently he rang the bell and his
private secretary stood before him. He
did not speak at first, but sat at his
desk moving the different objects from
place to place. At last he looked up.

something take place between you and

construction can be put-that you are
engaged TO him. OF course, that is no
concern Of mine; but you must realize
that during Office hours such a condi-

Alone In his office Henry Travers

ly disturbed. The little incident that
had just occurred insisted on occupying
his thoughts, try as he might to put ii
from him.
He was not sure that he had acted
rightly. He realized, too, that he had
spoken harshly, when he had meant
only to be emphatic; where coldness
and indifference we're intended the
tllrob of passion had crept into his
tones
In the SIX months he had been man

self-assured manner with which she
carried out her duties had made a
powerful impression on his business

But there had been no other feeling
for her. In all his years he had never
allowed any lesser consideration TO
blind the vision Of his mental activi-
ties.
Now, like dlstorting mirror, flash
ed before his eyes, he saw and recog-
nized the leerng face of jealousy and

ton of letting his personal feelings
overcome his common sense.

to concentrate on material things,

up. The very man who was occupying

The Whole Secret Of
A Better Tire
Simply a Matter of the Makers Policies

To ascertain what each maker
offers one must analyze and test
some 200 tires-as our laboratories
have done.
Then it is a matter of combining
the best features and building ac-
cording to the highest standards.
Once you try Brunswick you
will understand how we have built
model tires, regardless of factory
expense.
Yet Brunswick Tires cost you the
same as other Eke-type tires. Our
saving is on selling cost, through
our nationwide organization.
We realize that you expect more
from Brunswicks, and we assure
you that you get it. ONE Bruins
wick will tell you the story.
And then you'll want ALL
Brunswicks. No other tire, you'll
agree, gives SO much for your
money.

TEACHERS BILL UP.
County Superintendents Measure
Ready to be Presented to Legis-
lature

The. legislative committe of the
county superintendent section of
the Iowa State Teachers association
has planned a program of legisla-
ton relative to the duties of the
county superintendent which, upon
its recommendation, is expected to
be presented before the general as
sembly this winter. The program fol-
lows:
County OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the
minimum salary be fixed at $4,000
per annum. That the minimum trav-
cling expense be increased from $500
per annum to $500 per annum. That
the county convention be authorized
to increase the minimum salary.
That upon recommendation of the
county board of education the coun-
ty superintendent be authorized to
attend the national educational meet
ing outside the state each year and
that the necessary expense of such
attendance be payable by the board
of supervisors from the county fund.
Deputy-That we indorse the bill
of the code commission relative to
this officer except to eliminate the
qualification with no added author
lity.
Consolidation-Tha the county
superintendent be authorized to call
the first meeting of the board mem
bers-elect in consolidated districts.
That the time of hearing before the
county board of education be ex-
tended from maximum of fifteen
days to twenty days. Substitute
notice by publication instead of by
registered letter. That we indorse
that part of the code commission
bill providing definitely for the pay
ment of organization expense. Reco-
mmend that the enforcement of the
compulsory law be made the duty
OF the sheriff or the Juvenile court.
Tax levy-We recommend that
the maximum tax levy be raised
to 500 per pupil and that all dis
tricts be authorized to vote addi-
tional funds at any regular or spe-
cial meeting of the electors.

Beauty Contests.

Formerly the girls used to COM
pete in spelling matches to deter
mine which knew the most. Now
they enter beauty contests to see
who looks the most like wax doll
And then people wonder why there
aren't more brains in this country
So remarked grouchy fellow the
other day. But he failed to reflect
that the spelling school requires
mental effort, which is unpopular
now. However, the beauty contest
does seem rather out of date in
times when business efficiency is
emphasized.
Women have now grown independ'
ent. If no man they want cares &c
marry them, they are able to sup
port themselves and get just as
much out of life. So far no business
man has promoted girl workers be-
cause they took prizes in beauty
contests. "

MORE MEMORIAL TREES.
DEBORAH Tree Planted by John Finn
Unearths Others of Similar
Nature.

Perhaps no more unique memorial
was erected to Abraham Lincoln
than when John Finn of DEBORAH, la.
went into the woods and found a
blackberry shoot which he transplant
ed in front of his home following the
assassination of the President in the
spring of 1865. The tree has been
nominated for place in the Hall of
Fame for trees with a history which
is being compiled by the American
Forestry Association at Washington.
That tree teaches powerful lesson
as to what could be done toward cor
recting the forestry situation in this
country. Fifty-five years seems a
long time to look ahead but John
Finn can span the years and span
them quickly. There stands the tree.
In 1876 A. L. Jarnagin planted an
elm tree at the cross roads at the
John Donnell place in Marion coun-
ty on what is now the White Pole
road between Monroe and Otley.
This tree was planted in honor of
the Centennial observance of the
signing of the Declaration of indie
pendence. That was A years ago.
The tree has made a wonderful
growth. Near Monroe, Jasper coun-
ty, which was known in early history
is judged to be 400 years old. 1t is
nearly five feet in diameter. Last
summer lightning struck this king
of the forest and it was so badly
damaged that it will be cut down
this winter. 1t is a magnificent speci.
men and the people in that vicinity
regret to see it removed.

The defenders of the three big
spenders are insisting that the reve-
Iations of the Senate committee
need have no effect upon the for
tunes of their individual candidates
because all the delegates have been
elected and delegates themselves
are not unduly sensitive to the use
of money. But the men who hope to
nominate a winner here are anX-
ious to know just how sensitive the
voting public may be to this partic-
ular political activity. Politicians
know that under the primary sys-
tenn. the most ordinary, candidacy
cannot be pressed without the ex-
penditure of sums that to the
masses seem enormous. Right now
three candidates are trying to eX-
plain to their supporters that these

political corruption, but merely
