CARNIVAL PASSES THRU CITY
From Friday's Daily
This morning the Moore Enter
tainment Co., comprising three large
trucks, a calliope and living wagon,
rolled through this city from the
east. The company was from Tabor,
Iowa, and headed to some of the
smaller towns in the west where they
will operate during the fair season
which i3 just starting.
On the banks of the old Missouri
The winter wind has ceased to blow
cross the hectic plains;
Roses bloom and tulips grow.
And thi vallevs are covered with
grain.
The ether wave3 dance hither and
yon
As the corn beeins to shoot.
Thfl souirrels bark, bark bark
awakes the fawn,
As the owl begins to hoot.
The music of the reaper is heard afar.
Reminding us that harvest is at hand,
And winter winds will soon spar.
To turn the south winds ajar.
To warm some other land.
With bins all full of provider.
And cattle and hogs to feed.
What is now, to hinder us,
Emptying our hearts of greed?
When summer is over and gone.
And the birds have taken their flight.
To fairer lands of sweet refrain.
When the landscape breathes delight.
We hear the carpenters hammers,
As they drive the nails in the boards.
Remodeling the house with gables
and banners,
Fills the air with music chords.
Then with rapture we tell the story,
How our God provides for man,
Leaving him in all his glory.
To choose the evils he desires to ban.
Over the hills and through the val
leys.
We make our last review.
May the white winged angel sally.
And sprinkle our hearts with dew.
trol the growth of the federal dis-
Capitol, zoning, a housing law with
trict. which embraces the Mexican
power3 of enforcement, establish
ment of a building and loan associa
tion, competitions for good architec
ture, and an educational drive.
In approaching the problem of im
proving housing conditions, Senor
Contreras turns his first attack on
the slum areas, the establishment of
which he sees necessary "to prevent
the continuous creation of conditions
which are a shame fcr the country
and a threat to the city."
Whether his suggestions were ac
cepted or not, he said there were
three fundamental steps to consider.
First, necessary legislation to au
thorize the destruction of houses and
slums considered unsanitary. In
eliminating these unsatisfactory con
ditions, he would then proceed with
the reconstruction of residential
quarters preceded by changing the
present policy cf dividing the city
blocks into small lots.
The second requisite is necessary
sgislation or regulations which will
define the essential elements mak-
ng up a healthy homo and fixing
the minimum requirements of light,
entilation, hygiene and safety.
Turning to the last point, he
Brings up the necessity of govern
ment financial aid and suggests four
ways in which this may be brought
about. The state or city delegated
with powers to buy land and build
houses needed for the workingmen
either in the city or suburbs; the
state to lend money at a low rate of
nterest to philanthropic companies
or co-operative societies formed by
he workingmen or future tenants;
by means of loans made directly to
the workingmen desiring to build
their homes on easy installments;
and last to exempt from taxes all
nouses bunt in accordance with a
standard type and fixed cost.
STARTS TAXI SERVICE
This city will again have taxi ser

Yesterday afternoon, a very im
portant meeting of the ladies who
re doing their foreign mission work

lome of Miss Emma De Hart on

The devotionals brought the

IOWA PEOPLE WEDDED
Wednesday afternoon at the resi

dine. the bridal nartv returned to
their home in our neighboring city
The bride is proprietor of one of the
restaurants of the Iowa town and the
groom is employed as a railroad engi
neer in the service of the Burlington

"Wianno, Mass., Aug. 1. I notice
in The Times today that Secretary
Mills a?ks of Governor Roosevelt if
he does not know that 'this country
has been undergoing the most dras
tic and devastating deflation ever
witnessed.'
"May I ask Mr. Mills a question?
Does he not know that his party in
it3 platform upon which it came into
power in March, 1921, after eight
years of prosperity under President
Wilson, denounced the democrats for
'gross expansion of our currency and
credit which, as the platform stated,
had made prices high?
"Has Mr. Mills forgotten that his
party specifically promised in that
platform to put into effect 'a cour
ageous deflation of over-expanded
credit and currency?'
"We out in Nebraska know how
specifically this pledge was carried
out. So do other western states. The
policy of deflation began promptly
and resulted in falling prices of farm
products followed by an era of mort
gage foreclosures and bank failures
in the west and south several years
before the Wall street crash pro
duced collapse in the east.
"In conclusion let me ask Secre
tary Mills what party and what pol
icies have produced the destructive
deflation period which has produced
an unparalleled record of business
disaster? Did the high tariff bil
of 1922 and the still higher one of
1929 have anything to do with it?
Or was it only the 'courageous de
flation of credit and currency which
his party pledged its candidates to
carry out in the platform of 1920?
