For the purpose of making the florml
parade on the opening day of the Com
mercial club and the Full Moon carnival
more Imposing and more beautiful than
It was last last year, George a Wright
has been designated by William Bchnorr,
In charge of the parade, to appoint a
large number of women to ssslst In the
work of managing the parade and serur
Ing car to be entered aa contestant.
Mr. Wright has named a committee of
thirty-eight women, with Mr. George
Oerner aa chairman. All hare consented
to art. making It certain that there will
be no lack of contestants for the prlsea
that will be offered.
Attorney Wright, In (electing the com
mittee, chose women who are skillful
Hutomoblliata, resourceful and original in
designing handsome things, and who
would naturally be the first to enter the
lista of contestants for the price honors.
Thus right at the start he assures thirty
eight entries, with a certainty that the
number will be multiplied, and the prob
ability that there will be 100 flower
wreathed cars to compete for the prises.
Ma ay Prises Offered.
This year there will be first, second and
third prises In all of the four divisions of
the parade. In the flower parade the
first prise wilt be tlOO, the second 150, and
the third f2.. A new method will be used
this year in judging. The judge will ail
be men and no Judge will know who the
others are. They will be out-of-town
men and they will make tbelr awarda
purely on the mertt of the decorations.
Kach will gather his data as the parade
passes. Bach will be given the oipor
tunlty to view It two or three times from
different angles. When all of the points
of all of the cars are considered, the
judges will go to a uestgnated place where
they will meet each other for the first
time. This will remove the slightest
chance for any suspicion of favoritism.
The purpose Is to make the floral parade
one of the really spectacular features of
the pageant,
For the purpose of securing pledges
from the owners of automobiles to be
come contestants and to have general
charge of the floral parade, Mr. Wright
has named the following women, all of
whom are married;

Yhs Commercial club and , other busi

new method of keeping business accounts,
originated and perfected by George W.
tfancha, manager of the Monarch Printing
ccmpany.
It Is a short cot to the results that all
business men seek In the systems of
bookkeeping now used, but It does away
with the ponderous methods and gives
the business man a constant survey of
his business, as If it were all spread be
fore him on a checker board, and enables!

"., without knowledge of bookkeeping can
Suae it It has attracted such Interest that
Tlocal expert accountants have been ta
inted for the last two weeks seeking to
Fflnd defects. Commercial organisations
bave become Interested for the reason
that'tha Income tax law and the new re
gional banking system are going to re
ii!lr more accurate methods of account
lag In all lines of business, farmers as
well as business men. The ' government
-.Thaa been very lenient in the Income tax
J matter, but with the regional bank system
la operation the business man will have
to keep a set of books showing all phases
g.of his business, so government auditors
n quicaiy cneca it up. it was to meet
, these new conditions that the Bancha ays--tera

are used to give accurate and Instant
"information of every phase of the bust
tness. and In such a simple manner that
anyone can use It.
Dally, monthly and yearly comparisons
tare given, showing growth or decline of
business, and what should be added to
Uie cost of the goods to make a profit.
J'ash and credit sales, collections, pur
J chases, expenses and disbursements are
ihown in a concise form, so thtt the
" business man will have constantly before

f-knowledge of his business. It also takes

E.'O. Wylie, rate expert of tha Greater

Is great danger of a shortage of cars for
the handling of we.stern business as an
li. direct result of the war. He points out
thst alresdy there Is a congestion of busi
ness at seaboard points and that long lines
of cars flllej with grain, with no place
for the unloading, are to be seen at
Galvestoti and elsewhere. He believes this
condition will become worse and aa a re
sult the many cars now Idle will soon
be filled and be standing on sidings, so
thbt tha ordinary business of tho coun-t'.-y
will be In danger of congestion,
Mark latereat In Decision.
A great deal of Interest hag ben mani
fested In business and railroad circles
over the recent Interstate Commerce com
mission decision on tho eastern rates.
Rtudents of tha matter here point out
that, contrary to general Impression, tha
order of the commission Is for the can
cellation of all the proposed advanced
rates, and that what was really dona was
to suggest a revision of rates In a part
of the territory. . So fur aa rates are con
cerned this Is all that was done. It Is
believed that ultimately the decision will
be of much benefit to Iowa and western
shippers.

The Milwaukee' Railroad company has

C. A. Robbins of the legal department
of the state went to Iowa City last night
to start condemnation proceedings for the
first time under a new Iowa law to secure
property for tho state to add to ths
grounds of tho State university. It seems
that an attempt was made to hold up
tha state and to secura mora than the
property was regarded as worth. A jury
will be named by tha chief Justice of the
state, of cltlsens not resident of the
county In which the proceeding Is to take
place. ,
Controversy for Control.
Information) comes from tha southern
part of the state to the coal miners of
central Iowa to ths effect that an organi
sation Is being formed among tha radi
cals of the untonlata to effect control of
the district organisation at the next state
convention. There is a considerable
number of the miners, chiefly tha social
ist element, disgruntled over tho fact that
tha wage question was aettled last spring
without a strike or walkout or something
of the sort. An attack Is to be made on
tha present officials of the district.

The smbassador said he did not have
so much cash with him and proffered his
check on an Important Berlin bank. The
check waa refused, currency being In
sisted upon.
M. Cambon then borrowed from his
traveling companions enough to make up
the amount in gold, which he handed over,
requiring at the same time the officer's
word of honor that he would be allowed
tO'reach tha Danish frontier. This wss
given by the German officer.
The French liner France had not sailed
from Havre up to last night, nor was It
known precisely when It would sail. No
explanation Is given for the delsy, but It

obtained only after a successful war, ac
cording to a statement Issued here to
night by Ilanlcl von Il&lmhausen, head
of the German embassy In Washington
during the absence In Europe of Count
von Berstorff, the ambsssador. These
conditions, Mr. Haimhausen said, would. If
accepted by Germany, have led to In

Ths statement of the German charge

"It la erroneous to assume," Mr. Haim
