Baldness Baldness is a relentless and cold blooded malady which strips the hu man head of its verdure and leaves it in a state of glistening decollete. It is one of the most determined ail ments in all materia medica, and when once firmly seated is harder to shake off than the one-piece bathing suit. Science has long studied the cause and cure of baldness, but has not succeeded in locating either. We pay out a great deal of money in this country every year to keep sci ence from dying a natural death, and what do we get for it? Some of the best and longest winded scientists on the pay roll carry with them to their daily tasks a translucent dome which is entirely denuded of everything ex cept thought and glittering beads of perspiration. And yet all that science has to offer to the victim of this mer ciless epidemic is a vacant look and some new dandruff remover. Baldness seldom attacks any but men of bulging intellect. Jonn Quin cy Adams, president of the United States, was so bald that he could shave himself in a* dark room by moonlight, and his massive, bump, besprinkled dome would easily gen erate 200 candlepower on a bright, sunny day. All over this fair, strict ly neutral land of our, so rich in his tory and ammunition factories, are to be found smart, brainy men with shining cupalos from whence all but reason hath fled. In its search for intellectual companionship, baldness seems to settle upon newspaper men with great volence, which probably accounts for the large number of doc tors, ministers and lawyers who have more hair than an Angora goat. Although the bald headed man has much to sadden and depress him, he is never downhearted except in fly time, when he circumvents the do mestic house fly with a skull cap. Baldness is never the result of dis sipation, but is caused by thinking upon deep subjects which other peo ple haven't room for. Some forms of baldness have a nefarious accomplice in the person of the derby hat worn during working hours, which has the same degree of ventilation as the roller skating rink. Baldness never attacks the female sex, except in some spot which can be immediately poulticed with a switch four shades removed from the color of the original hair. This is one of the two beauties of being a woman. The other is housework.— Howard Rann. The Improving Auto, You can buy a better automobile now for |1,000 than you could get five years ago for 55,000. You can buy a better car now for $1,000 than you could get ten years ago at any price. No other merchandise has im proved in the same time to anything like the same extent, and no wide awake manufacturer pretends that the bettering process is finished. Part of this amazing improvement is due to the favorite American spe cific, "quantity production." The enormous increase in the output of car: has enabled makers to standard ize, specialize, and turn out a better article at a smaller price. But part is due to what foreigners call "re search work," and Americans, "try ing it out." No man not an expert can so much .is name half the advances made in automobile construction in the last few years and American builders now lead the procession. They have caught up and passed the French en gineers who so long reigned supreme in this field. They have broken away from their dependence on foreign steel —the best automobile metal now made is made in America. They have shown the national genius for devis ing comforts and trouble savers. They have gained a leadership which Europe can not challenge for ten years, if ever and each season they are giving more for the money than ever before. Coughs and Colds are Dangerous.

At Any Drue Store W. ii. Hill Company, Detroit The Price of Gasoline. The automobile industry of the United States is confronting a ser ious menace. It has made wonder ful advances. It has conquered a thousand technical and commercial problems. It has a limitless market for further development. But unless it can find some way to check and turn back the climbing price of gaso line much of the energy, genius, fore sight and courage which have made the automobile business the wonder of the century will miss their just reward. Gasoline that sold for 8 Vs cents per gallon a few months ago is sell ing for 2", cents now and it is hinted that the price may go to 40 cents. There is no shortage of crude oil from which gasoline is made—on the contrary, the stock of oil on hand is larger than ever before. There is no new difficulty connected with the process of manufacture—government chemists have found ways of extract ing more gasoline from a given quan tity of oil than used to be thought possible. The price has gone up sim ply because the trust is able to put it up. If the price stays high or goes higher thousands of people will give up their ambition to own a motor. A great and growing business will meet a disastrous check. Can not that business do something to help itself and save the whole community from extortion? The automobile industry has a marvelous endowment of brains, re sourcefulness, inventiveness and gen ius also abundant capital. Surely, if the chiefs of this industry will unite or the work they can find a way to produce gasoline and sell it at moder ate prices to consumers. They need not cover the whole country with a selling organization. It would be enough to smash trust prices in five or six centers of population. Without the slightest wish to teach automobile makers their business, t: Journal commends this matter to their earnest attention. It believes they can do quickly what govern ment action could accomplish only alter long delay, and what ordinary private effort can hot accomplish at all.—Chicago Journal. All Balled Up Again. The department of state is all ball ed up again in licensing automobiles. With less than half the cars reported with applications the department is 30,000 behind in plates and is giving "immunity" receipts. Last year it was just as bad and the year before. We would have just as much trouble get ting our mail if we had to receive all our letters in Iowa from Des Moines yostottice. \Vfca1 is the sense of it all? Why shouldn't an automobile tax be paid at the court house where all other taxe* are paid? Why dump 200,000 collections into one office at Des Moines, collect the money there only to send 90 per cent of it home again and swamp one office trying to handle the business that belongs to ninety r.ine? Gun licenses are issued by the coun ty auditor why not auto licenses? We used to think that we needed the numbers all registereo at a state of fice and the plates issued there, but now the law makes one plate good for three years so all we need to do is to send a bunch of plates out to the county auditors, six months in ad vance and have him send the secre tary of state a triplicate copy of oach receipt he issues. How simple that would be? How much more conven ient for an auto owner "to drive over to his county court house and drive home with his auto number? How much less excuse for the man who tries to take cover behind all this confusion and "immunity" business to evade his license? Why not intro duce some common business sense into this auto license collection?— Marshalltown Times-Rcpublican. The Newspaper and the Jury. The Republican acknowledges a letter from a law firm asking us to kindly refrain from mentioning cer tain cases pending in the Grundy courts because we are likely to in fluence the jury and prevent justice being done, or words to that effect. When we stop and reflect how court procedure is done, and how a lawyer, skilled and trained in cross examining and probably drawing $50 a day, is brought into a case for the express purpose of asking confusing questions, and when we see this law yer take a witness who probably nev er was on the witness stand before and probably has not even a common school education, and ask him such adroit questions that even the oppos ing attorneys and the judge himself must have the reporter read the question over before it can be decid ed whether the question is a proper one to answer—we say when we see all of this transpire, as it has actual ly happened in Grundy county within a few months, then we are moved to say that all the articles a newspaper might print, so long as they are con fined to the petitions and what they set forth, won't influence a jury in any way or have any influence upon justice. Justice, as between a legal shark and a witness not even skilled in ordinary every-day English, is a missing quantity. The Republican will continue to print court news.—Grundy Republi- c«n..gf REPORTER FOR SALE BILLS. Vel| if it From the (truss Hoots, Mr. Editor, 1 have gazed into the crystal and these things have been revealed to me: Brave Teddy, he is roaring loud and high. His battle flag is soaring'in the sky. Old .Mexico he'd slice, Lick the Kaiser once or twice, And soak J. Bull one in his bloomin' eye. Hilly Bryan, lie is leaking from the craw. Peace at any price lie's squeaking, O iiow raw. if we would do his way We will fold our arms and pray While our enemies, they swat us on the jaw. Our munition makers, all arc doing well. They are coining dollars making shot and shell. They are handing out the talk That will make the eagle squawk, So they can keep on making stuff that raises hell. Hyphenated yahoos sneak around With sticks of dynamite that weigh a thousand pounds, And while darkness hovers o'er Our land from shore to shore They blow things up for fifty miles around. Our congressmen are sitting on the wall. All they do is hump their backs and spit and squall. They would act quick enough if they only knew the stuff They will need to re-elect them, one and all. Expert Palmer says we could not lick a rabbit Though it's true, I'm scared to death to hear him blabb it. He'll have a horde of Chinks Over here in forty winks, And all the wealth we've got they'll quickly grab it. The people in dumb terror shrink and quail. They can hear the shriek of shells on every gale. And in their dreams they see Hostile fleets on every sea, While an invading army swipes their kale. Our president is using every means To perfect a plan that from all dan ger screens, But when he suggests a way, Politicians snort and bray Until they jar the scalp loose on their beans. A. .il. Chrisman. Cow Hooked Man in Eye. Thos. L. Cain, who resides north east of town, met with a peculiar accident on Tuesday night of last week which nearly resulted in the loss of his left eye. He had gone to the barn to milk and had put some feed in a box on the ground for the cow. Some hogs were in the barn and trying to get the feed out of the box and the cow threw her head and hooked at the hogs to drive them away. Just at this juncture Thomas stooped down to pick up the milk bucket when one of the cow's horns struck him over the eye causing a serious injury and of course great pain. He came to town where he receiv ed medical attention and the eye dressed. An examination showed that the point of the horn did not enter the eye cavity and therefore the eye is not lost. The eye was operated upon last .Tilly and has been very weak since the operation but was gaining in strength slowly. It will be some time now before it can recover its normal strength. He is getting along as well as could be expected under the trying circumstances.—Gainesville News.
