Village square and began to play
baseball with the young men and boys
who were enjoying vacations along

He was good player. No other
man in the country could hit low

first base, which he did with such
skill that whole innings passed with
out single man reaching the first
goal on the road to scoring He played

the assessors to County Clerk Steven
son, shows startling state of affairs.
Jefferson, with one sixth of the popu-
lation of the county, has produced only
one twenty fifth of the babies In 9TH
er words. Jefferson, with 5000 people
has brought into the world only Is ba-
bies. whereas the other $1,000 people
in the county have produced BIZ ba-
bies. or an average of 63 babies for
each division of 1900.
Evidently, then. jefferson owes to
the world fifty babies more than she
produced in 1902. her fair share being
63, and her actual production only
Co.
The banner township was Junction,
which brought into the world no less
than 40 babies, while Highland came
second with 80. The only township to
fall below Jefferson, was Franklin,
where but six births were reported.

Vice President-Dr. l.. a. Thomas,
Red Oak.
DR.. j. A. Valenta yesterday elect
ed president of the Iowa Health Off
GERS association, read a paper before
the body which suggested a novel in
novation. DR.. Valenta says that IA
great many people have consumption;
that consumptives eXpectorate germs
upon the side walks and the germs
are taken into the lungs of other peo-
pie and thus the disease spreads thru
out the land. The learned doctor
doesn't believe that expectorating can
be stopped by all the great throng of
consumptives by one act or order Of the
general assembly, but he thinks that the
legislature ought to take action which
will compel consumptives to carry IN
their pockets an antiseptic eXpector-
ating cup into which the germ laden
saliva is to be deposited.
