MORLEY PRODUCES
ADULT FAIRY TALE

To go a-reading In a Chris Morley
volume is like an excursion up a sun
shiny country lane. One alternately
plucks gay posies Of rhetoric and
drinks great beakers Of the sweet milk
of philosophy. It's all too idyllic to
be possible and only the matter-of-fact
print in front OF you treasures that
it's a real book you're reading and not
one Of those hazily delightful books
you've dreamed of reading and then
woke up without the concrete recol-
lection OF a single word.
To begin with, h.,"Where the Blue Be-
gins" is kind of fairy tale for grown
people. Blithe marvels enough there
are for any fairy tale and also quaint
sbsurdities. delicate satire and unern-
Filtered laughter to the taste OF the
most fastidious and perhaps blase
adult. We see good canine Gissing
finding the mysterious and allegorical
abandoned puppies. Dear me. inno-
cent pledges of sin. I dare say" he
says as he picks them up to take
them home and put them in the spare
room bed. Nor will you ever be likely
to find anything more touching than
GissinSs pathetic struggles to do his
best by the foundlings. IIe'has given
out To the neighborhood that they are
his nephews and they innoccntly per-
sist in calling him Dada" He finds
1t Impossible to keep household help
and the three puppies. We see the
formerly sleek Gissing. of the fine
menage headed by japanese butler
we behold him soaking prunes. cook
ing cereal. attempting to scald ants
out of the icebox. growing angry and
boxing the riotous puppies ears. and,
as he stands furiously waving n
steaming dishclout. being subjected to
the embarrassment OF stylish visitors.
Later We come to Gissing's admira-
tion for Miss Airedale. He can not
help but notice, the aristocratic
Roman trend of her brow and nose
the proud, inquisitive carriage of her
somewhat rectangular head; her ad-
mirab!e, vigorous figure and clear
topaz eyes" Still later occurs Gis-
sings memorable voyage on the Pom
erania as staff captain.
What is all this about? Why just
a search for Deity. Nor Is it futile
Perhaps the wisdom of the book is
best summed up in its next-to- the! last
paragraph: il is all very well
to wear a crown OF thorns, and indeed
every sensitive creature carries one
in secret. But there are times when
II ought to be worn cock ed over one

License Meat Dealers

Des Moines, Iowa-The sanitary
law requires that a license be pro-
cured for each place where fresh
meats are sold at retail. The fee
for license is So and license is issued
to rcover market or vehicle from
which sales of meat are made.
A place where poultry is purchased
and dressed for market is considered
a slaughter house and must be lie
ensed.
The law does not operate to pre-
vent a farmer from slaughtering
animals of his own raising and of
fering the meat for sale, either to
his neighbors or in nearby towns.
Any persons purchasing animals and
Strengthening the same and offering
the meat for sale either at wholesale
or retail will be required to secure
a meat dealers's license.
The term fresh meat" is held to
include beef, pork, mutton, dressed
poultry, fresh sausage, fish and
game. No license is necessary for
the sale of cured and smoked meats,
fresh lard, or oysters. w. B. Barney,
Commissioner.

MAKING OUR DEMOCRACY
PROGRESS
Develops Its Benefits Until All Are
Benefited or Ii is No
Democracy.

A democracy progresses or it be
comes poor democracy, like mos
of the South American republics. 4
democracy develops its benefits unit
all the people are benefited, or it j
no democracy at all.
Since our republic was established
the general government has spen
untold millions and billions of dollar
in our cities where people are ga
thered in the Imass. Carloads O
money have gone for million dolla
postoffices, great harbor improve
ments and other projects benefitins
that massed part of the population
Every year tens of millions are paiC
out TO the employees of Uncle San
who live and work in the cities.
Where the government spends five
million dollars in a city of 100000
people, how much does it spend or
an agricultural county of 100000
people and in which are located only
few small towns and villages?
Answer: So small an amount as
to be absolutely absurd in compare
son.
If it spends the one-hundredth part
of that sum, or $4,000, in such
a county, that county thinks mir
acle has happened.
The government ought to spend al
least as much of the public taxes and
of the receipts from its bonds where
one 30 per cent of the total popula-
.tion lives as its spends where the
other so per cent lives. How?
To the mind of this editor, the first
necessity is the paving and sewering
of the streets of community centers,
the small towns of the nations. Paw.
ing, for the business prosperity, the
convenience, the educational advant-
age and the comfort of the whole
community, and to advance the civic
solidarity of the whole community
surrounding such towns. Sewering in
centers, as a national health mea-
sure, the sewers to be extended to
the farms in good time. Small towns
cannot afford such projects; they will
do well TO keep them up after the
Improvements are established.
The government can and should
afford it. And, for every dollar Uncle
Sam spends in such public improve
ments, he will increase the wealth
of the nation $40 Up TO even SEQ.
A book could BE- written an the
enormous advantages that would ac-
cure to all the people of the United
States-all of them-from such ex-
tension of government attention to
our villages and towns.
1t is not a dream; it is plain pro-
gress, and this newspaper proposes
to urge such government enterprises
from time to time in an effort to
further democracy in this favored
land of ours.

Submarine Warfare

France, Holland, and other of the
lesser naval powers, strongly defend
the use of submarines in warfare,
on the ground that they are the
weapon with which a weaker nation
can defend itself, without having
to build costly dreadnoughts at an
expense of $4O,OOO,OOO apiece. But
the world pays an awful price Tor
the privilege of using submarines
1t is a mean and dirty form OF
warfare. 1t attacks women and chill
dren and old men, equally with the
fighters. And besides that it pro-
strates the shipping industry. The
peaceful merchant vessels on which
the nations depend for commerce and
food are indiscriminately sent to the
bottom of the sea.
The submarine can not always tell
what kind of a ship it is attacking
nor what kind of freight and pas
sengers its victims are carrying
Submarines ought TO be- outlawed'
and weak nations should be protected
bv international agreement, rather
than by using so mean a weapon.

IOWANS PAY INCOME TAX OF
Si,000,0O0
Delinquencies Larger; Less Tax Next
Year.

Dubuque, owa.-"Income tax re-
turns for the year 1921 will exceed
S4,000,000 in the state of Iowa and
are better than those of last year."
said Collector Lars Bladine here to-
day.
"The number of returns to be
made during 1922 will be greater
the amount of taxes will be less.
Increased exemptions, the cause
providing for returns where gross
incomes excel $500 and general
lassitude of business will all con-
tribute to make returns of 1922
more and collections less.
"The collection of taxes, especial
ly the last quarter payment, due
Dec. Is, has disclosed a great many
delinquents.
Many factors contribute to make
the delinquency larger. The
year 1920 and 1921 saw the culmin-
alton of land speculation, the in
vestment in wildcat stocks and fl
nally the closing down, with in
vestors unable to realize on paper
profits to pay debts. Liquidation
and foreclosure followed.
"Delinquencies in income tax pay
ments was a natural result"

CONVICTS TOMAKE
W0MEN'S CLOTHES
State Board of Control to Manufac-
ture Dresses at Anamosa Pri-
son. Contract Has
Been Closed.
HUNDRED MEN TO BE
EMPLOYED IN SHOP
Contract With Chicago Firm Runs
For Five Years-Some of
Prisoners Already Train
ed in Tailoring.

The state board of control closed
contract last week with the Stirling
Company of Chicago for the manu-
facture of women's apron dresses at
the mems reformatory at Anamosa.
The Stirling Company will furn-
ish the necessary machinery and pay
a stipulated amount for the furn-
ished garments.
Senator A. NJ McColl, chairman of
the board, said that the contract is
for five years, with the privilege CT
terminating it after four years, and
that 100 men will be given employ
ment in the making of these gar
ments. As there is a tailor shop
at Anamosa some of the prisoners
are already trained in this line of
work.
The contract resulted from the re-
cent visit of two of the board mem
bers to the national prison congress
CIV OSSNhSOuNlilCr lIcSe IleHlDeIS,
J. II. Strict and j. B. Butler, stopped
at Nashville, Tenn, to study the
state prison there and found part of
the prisoners employed in the manu-
facture of apron dresses. The Ten
nessee prison officials reported that
this was one of their most profitable
and satisfactory industries.
"We don't know how the venture
will turn out" Senator McColl said
"but the state has nothing to lose.
The Stirling Company furnishes ev-
erything needed for the making of
these dresses, and will employ labor
than can not be used outside. There
are 800 or more men at this institu-
ton, so we will have all the work
men fSeded to fill our part of the
contractD
