How Clubs Originated.

Today men meet at the club, lunch
at the club, sleep at the club when
they have no establishment OF their
own. or at branch Of the club when
in distant cities. And those who live
In the suburbs often dine and wine
their friends at the club-or rather
dine and "2.75" them there! For at
the club they find that combination
OF privacy with plenty Of company
that feeling Of proprietorship without
the servant problem that is offered
by no other institution on earth.

AN AMAZING RLUNDER.

The latest amazing blunder is the
surrender Of the United States to
Japan Of islands IN the Pacific essen
tial to our cable service to the Orient
and for our naval defense In that
section OF the globe. There is con-
sternAtion in the war college at
Washington whose strategfsts pro-
test vigorously against the surrender
Of naval bases for our Pacific feet.
The surrender was permanently made
by Mr.. Wilson at the Versailles con-
ference who seemed to have no in
tercst in the motto, America first"
The schol teacher and idealist from
Princeton sought to make the world
safe for democracy" but neglected
safety for the United States. He
thus has made our national security
more difficult. and increased the pos
siblllty OF a war with aggressive,
ambitious land-greedy Japan.

WHEN IsA MELON NOT 4 MELON,

WHEN ISA MELON NOT 4 aaELoN1
The news writer's in reporting a
distribution Of surplus TO It's stock
holders by issuing new shares Of
stock to them on the part Of the
Standard Oil Company. OF Indiana,
called itSa melon" and they spoke
OF a "sfft" Of 156 millions to stock
holders. TO the average mind . dis
tribution OF new shares does seem to
be gift and the thrill Ii akin to
the colored gent1enen's exaltation
when a big ripe water melon is
opened and passed around, even con
gress when 1t framed the income tax
law tried to make Il appear that
dividend stock was an income but
the courts held that It was not and
the courts were right about It.
The Standards alleged melon was
no new melon at all except that It
had already accumulated in the past
ana had belonged to the stockhold-
ers for some time. When the new
stock certificates were issued the
company was worth just what 1t was
worth before, no more. no less. This
was evidenced by tho market value
OF the shares which was $3.50 per
share before the stock dividend and
only $S13 per share afterwards. Al
tho each stockholder held more
shares after, the melon" all Of his
shares were worth no more than the
few were worth which he held before.
He had merely cut his melon into
more pieces but It was the same
melon. There Is no new income in a
stock dividend There IL far less toy
in cutting up a melon which one has
owned than in being party to the
distribution of new melon hence the
thrill of the stock dividend
The Standard OIL Company, Of In
diana, has enjoyed immense earnings
during all the war period. Thirty
cent gasolene and one automobile for
every family In Iowa have doomed
the oil business. Standard shares
have gone up and up on the stock
market until they were worth many
times their face value. The profit In
gasolene IL an unholy profit but the
Independent refineries do not seem
to need business bad enough to bust
the Standards price. Less prosperity
and lower wages may burn less gas
olene In the future when the price
will come down and likewise the
value of Standard shares.

Railroad executives, In pushing
their efficiency campaign, are calling
for Increased efforts in the shops and
on the lines for greater results In the
use Of existing locomotives. They
base this demand on the fact that the
three largest locomotive building
companies In the United States con-
structed only 9ls locomotives for
standard gauge steam roads In the
United States In 1919. The average
number Of locomotives constructed
for American railroads In the pre-
ceding steven years was 2,00a. The

ures, estimates that the accumulated
locomotive shortage Of 1917, 1918 and

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

The Davenport Democrat has heard
that "John T. Adams of Dubuque
says Harding will be an easy winner"
and the Democrat remarks, "but Mr..
Adams once thought Germany was"
The Muscatine Journal observes
that, "the rank and file Of American
voters are more personally interested
in the prosperity and the welfare of
America than in the we'll being of
Europe" and the Journal can see
that, "this is not a provincial nor
selfish attitude, but rather a natural
one"
The Waterloo Courier thanks that,

said very little concerning the ad-

RAILROADS WORKING HARD.

During the week ending Oct. 9th the
railroads OF the country loaded more
than 100000 freight cars. total that
has been exceeded only once before,
In our history. This is but one fea-
ture Of the program Of efficiency that
is rapidly restoring our transporta-
ton to the condition in which the
government found 1t on Jan. /, 1918,
when the federal exhaustion Of our
utilities began There is now more
freight being carried per car, more
cars per train, cars are running more
miles per day. out-of- order cars are
being rapidly reduced In number, an
increasing number Of good order
locomotives are available, and cars
are being returned to the lines Of the
companies which own them. Added
to the higher standard of equipment
Is the fact that railroad employees are
giving q fairer days work for the
high wage they receive, and the
sl4clers maintained on the rolls by
the federal administration are being
weeded out. The public sees the re-
suit in a lowering of prices all along
the line as the supply of commodities
is kept at . steady rate to satisfy the
demand.
