| There are few miachevious boys
around town that are blazing out a trail
that will lead them to the State Reform
school, unless their parents exercise bet
ter control over them. OF late they have
been working off their superfous energy
by hacking the shade trees in the vicin-
ity of the M. E. Church, and in deiacing
the street signs. Some of them are
known, and they will be trought up with
a round turn before they do much more
damage

made at the Aberdeen General hospital.
The woodshed is being moved off to
make room for wing on the northwest

the new wing and Heron street quite
geological garden is being arranged, con-
tanning number of animal cages and a
pagoda for eagles. When the buildings
are complete the lot will be filled in and
sodded, and will form very attractive
longing place for convalescents.

"The treasury can stand REDUCTION
of taxes to the extent of S7O,0OO,0 900 or
$4,000, 600 annually says Representa-
tive Cannon, chairman of the house ap-
propriations committee. This reduc
tion he would accomplish by repeating
the balance of the war taxes. The
Spanish war was ended three and one
half years ago, yet the taxes levied are
still In force to the amount of S6O,OOO,-
900 revenue per annum. Mr.. Cannon
would repeal the tax on luxuries and
vices, such as beer and swell the Golfers
of brewers, for it is on such commodi-
ties that the war tax was largely levied.

thority as r. q. Dunn that the cost of
living has increased 40 per cent. since

The large and increasing circulation
of The Iowa Homestead in this county
is matter for congratulati0n to the
publishers and to good farming, for, OF
all the papers of its class in the coun-
try, it is easily the best and most help
full. Its Special Farmers Institute
editions, issued with the regular edition
the first week in each month, have been
for years the admiration of all practi-
cal farmers. Written wholly by farm
ers, they are full of actual experience,
and smell of the soil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and its Spec
ial Farmers Institute Editions, together
with The Poultry Farmer and The
Farmers Mutual Insurance Journal,
four of the most valuable farm publi-
cations in the country, that enable us to
offer the four in connection with our
own paper for $3.50 for the entire five,
one year. This is emphatically good
| thing, and no farmer in this county
should fail to take advantage of this
offer. For large line of thoroughly
practical farm reading nothing has ever
been offered before that equals 1t. A
county paper, u farm paper, a poultry
paper, farm insurance paper and the
Special Farmers Isntitute, all for 81

Management of Local Tele-

j
The company was organized on this
basis: q capitalization of $4,000, divided
into 100 shares, each representing the
cost of instsllatioR Of 9 single telephone
(s50); each stockholder to be permitted
to hold one share of stock for each
telephone rented by him, and no more;
ownership of stock to be absolutely con-
fined to renters of telephones; dividends
of at least per cent. per month to be
paid on the stock.
The estimates Of expenses made by
the promoters of the new exchange
were verified by experience; for at the
monthly rates estabilshed-$225 25 for
stores and offices and 81 for residence
the company was not only able to
give good service, but increased it's divi-
dends from the l per cent. month re :
quired by it's charter to ~ per cent, so
that in time the members had to pay
only $1.50 a month for business service
(sfter deducting the dividend), while
for residence service the extremely low
rate of 25 cents month was paid. Ut
will be remembered that for the same
services the monopoly had demanded
81 and 80, respectively
The new company found that it's op-
Grating expenses would be, approxi-
mately, 50 year for each instrument.
Adding $3.50 to cover interest and de-
probation, of plant. 1t 10 clear that an
income OF 25 per cent. on the invest
ment was required. The rates were ad-
]usted to secure this income and at the
same time to maintain small sinking
fund to provide for Improvements in
the service. Starting with an ex-
change of '83 phones, the business
steadily increased from year to year,
until at the present time there are
about 800 instruments in use, or one tc
every II persons in the community
This growth, it should be noted, has il
itself greatly increased the value of thu
! service to every patron, since eacf
phone communicates with four time
as many persons as could be reached b.
the old exchange under monopoly man
agement, for the reason that the exces
sively high rates charged by the mo
nopoly prohibited the introduction
of phones in many places wher
they were needed From "Co-O Opera

Do You Want small-pox7

N1OWh aCdlLu DuiloblusJ
Would you like to have smallpox in
your communityp 1t is in almost every
county in the state, and you can have it
if you would like to. The surest plan
we can recommend is to ignore the pro-
tective influence Of vaccination and re-
vaccination. 1t is true some one from
another locality who has neglected this
precaution, having been exposed, might
come into your town or township and
come down with the disease. Should
this occur, and your people had been
successfully vaccinsted, there would be
no other case.
The incompetent doctor that cannot
tell the difference between smallpox
and chicken-pox and some other erup-
tive disease, or If able to is too dishon-
est to report his cases. can assist You q
great teal in spreading the disease in
case it should appear and your people
have not been successfully vaccinated.
We do not hesitate to say that three.
fourths, if not four-afths, of the cases
in Iowa today, and that have occurred
previously, have been caused BY this
means. AS result of neglect to re-
port these cases many unprotected per-
sons have been exposed unconscious of
the character of the disease and there
fore prevented from vaccination after
such exposure until it was too late to
protect them. The best and only reli-
able means of protection are vaccina-
tioD, isolation of the patient, quaran-
tine of the premises and thorough dis
infection.
In sixty days from the general adop.
tion of these measures there would not
be case Of smallpox in the whole
state of lows-unless 1t would he an
occasional Importation. In such cases
it would get no further than the person
! of the party thus imported.
Instead of this almost every day the
. secretary is appealed to to seLd some
one to assist in qusrantining. There
has been no organization of the loca
board-no literature on hand for distri-
bution-no preparation for it whatever
They are too late waking up to thei
duty. ).
In giving the above four essentials i
\ the protection of community we omit
ted two important ones that we her
I emphasize-a competent and hones
physician and an efficient local board Q
health. The above remarks appl
! equally to scarlet fever and diphtherls
3 except so far as vaccination is com
mended,
