School Hook Activity.
In a very short time there will bo a lively
scramble among tho representatives of tho
various school book companies for busi
ness In Iowa. Flvo years ago, when tho
law was new under which county or dis
trict uniformity may bo adopted, thlrty
tlirco of the counties of Iowa took up the
county uniformity Idea. Under this law
tho contracts wero made for a period of
flvo years. This period Is now nearly
ended nnd tho result Is that In all theso
thirty-three counties new contracts will bo
m ml 0 and tho county boards will again
havo under consideration tho adoption of
new series of books. It opens tho field for
lively work among tho publishers. Tho
startling fact Is reported in this connec
tion thnt tho school book business of tho
stato of Iowa docs not amount to over
(500,000 n year and Is not as large as tho
cigarette trado has been.

SIOUX CITY, lu., Dec. 1. (Special.)
Tho saloon sltuntlon In Sioux City Is u
remarkablo ono at tho present time, nnd
the outcomo of tho contest which Is now
on between tho Anti-Saloon league and the
liquor dealers, with the city and county
administrations, the druggists and somo
private parties Interested on tho side, will
bo uwalted with Interest.
Tho Anti-Saloon league, whoso moving
spirits nro ministers of tho city, hnB or
dered nil saloons to comply strictly with
tho Martin law by Monday or tako tho
chances of being closed by Injunction pro
ceedlngs. The snloon men do not know
what to do. They talk of organizing
"clubs" to escape prosecution. Tho pro
prietors would bo mado "managers" of tho
clubs and thuy and tho bartenders would
bo paid salaries by tho corporation. Stock
would bo sold in shares of 25 cents and
up, and each tlmo a man got a glnss of
beor he would havo a G-cent punch taken
In his cortlflcato of stock. Ho would uot
bo buying tho bocr. IIo would be a mem
ber of a club, drinking his own beor, and
tho saloon men's attorney has advised
them that they could not bo prosecuted If
such a Bchome wero properly conducted.
Hero Is whero tho city and county ad
ministrations aro Interested. No llccnBo
money could bo collected from such pri
vate clubs. As It 13 now soventy-fivo
saloons pay JCOO earh Into tho city treas
ury each year and $300 each Into tho county
treasury. If tho Martin law bo strictly
onforced this rovenuo will bo reduced and,
It Is argued, that tho city In particular
cannot afford to lose tho money,
Tho saloon men declaro that If they aro
compelled to observe tho law strictly they
will get nfter tho druggists, who ore re
ported to bo selling Intoxicating ltquois
with Impunity.
