CHARITY OFFICER .ALKS
ABOUT STATES ORPHANS
w. J. PiIIsbury Tells of Work Being
Done and Effect of Orphanage
Life on Children

w. J. Pillsbury, a member of the
State Board of Orphanage Examiners
is at the Hollenbeck hotel. He is Sec
ested in the orphanages of the state
and the problem of caring for the lit
tie ones in misfortune and assisting
them into good homes. He said:
"The insuperable objection to the or
phan asylum, unless exceedingly small,
is that it develops machine made chill
dren, boys and girls who lack initia-
tive and self reliance.
Mind you, I am not finding fault
with our orphanages," he continued,
valued work. First, the children in
our asylums are wonderfully healthy;
again, they serve as refuge for half
orphans at times when the parent is
in temporary misfortune; and lastly,
they serve as homes for those unat-
tractive and deformed little ones who
can not be placed in families.
But the fact remains that the life of
the family is needed to bring out the
individuality of the child. No orphan
age is able to do the work of the
American home.
"At the present time there are forty
four orphanages in California drawing
state aid. The cost of lending aid to
California orphans amounts to an an
nual sum of $45O,OOO.
To-day it is our steadfast policy to
place as many of these children in
good homes as 1t is possible to do
Much more attention is being paid to
this side of the question than has been
formerly. Reasons for this are the
greater benefits to the child and the
saving to the state.'

A pitiable case of destitution was re-

A pitiable case of restitution was re-
ported to the attention of the city
authorities last Saturday. A man and
his wife with four children one of them
in the mothers arms, walked into town
through the rain carrying all of their
property in small bundle. They were
without funds and sent one of the
children up town with a small article
to sell to buy bread. Their story is
that they left Oskaloosa, Iowa, some
time ago to go overland to Joplin, Mo.
At Terre Haute, Iowa, they lost their
last horse, disposed of the remainder Of
the outfit and went to Lamoni where he
was told he could find work. Failing in
this and hearing there were some mills
here they walked to this place, sleeping
one night in barn enroute. On their
arriva, they were wet, muddy, and
almost exhausted. Mayor Chapman
supplied their immediate wants, an
empty house was found and kind heart
ed neighbors loaned them various
articles of household necessity suffic-
lent for their comfort for the present.
A purse Of about SIS was made up and
on Tuesday tickets were purchased for
them as far as Kansas GAINESVILLE

The case Of the State Of Iowa VS. R.

The case of the State Of Iowa VS.. R.
J. Lambert was dismissed by Justice
Turner, Thursday, a change of venue
having been taken from Justice Russell.
The dismissal was had on motion by
County Attorney Kelley on the grounds
that he, Kelley, had Investigated the
case and found Lambert not guilty of
assaulting Bergersen wilfully and de-
liberately and with malice afore-
thought, as charged; and on the
grounds that the information was filed
by the town marshal, and the case was
one that should have been brought I'M
der the ordinances of the town of La
moni and settled in the mayors court
without putting the county to the ex-
pense of jury trial. Case was dis
missed at plaintiffs cost. Then came
r. ]. Lambert and voluntarily plead
guilty of disturbing the public peace.
The pleading was entered and Lambert
fined So and the costs. Lamont Chron-

Dave Still had tho GOOD fortn

Dave Still had the good fortune to
wipe out prolific family of rattle
snakes last week ON the place he farms
in Jefferson township seven miles north
of Lincyille. He first discovered
large female RATHER which he killed.
The reptile contained 10 young snakes
from the size of a tish-worm to a lead
pencil but lively and full of fight. The
old snakes tail was ornamented with
six rattles and a button. A day or two
after he found and killed large male
rattlesnake nose tail counted eight
rattles and button. To destroy
twenty-one of these venomous snakes in
one locality in week is good work.

Why Mail Boxes Wust Be Num-
hered

The Anthem Herald sees trouble
ahead as result of the order to have
the rural mail boxes numbered and if
this fear is we'll grounded something
should be done at once as suggested in
the following:
We wondered when Uncle Sam went
into partnership with the catalogue
houses! This is the hardest and most
uncalled for slap in the face the country
merchant has yet received, and a con-
certed action should be taken by them
at once to have this act nullified? Just
think what this means! All the cata-
logue house needs to know is the num-
catalogue or package directed No. 1,
Route No. l, Anthem, Iowa, and that
parcel will be delivered to the first
man to whom Mr.. Dodd, delivers mail,
and SO on to the end Of his route. The
country merchant calculated that when
rural routes were established his bust
ness would be injured, but the govern
ment prohibiting the postmaster and
rural mail carriers from giving names OF
patrons on the route, eased his mind
"If this order facilitated the expedi-
tious handling of the mail there might
be some excuse for it's existence, but it
does not in any conceivable manner,
The carriers are now crowded to the
limit with catalogues, folders and
pamphlets Of foreign business concerns,
all of which, if properly addressed
reach their proper destination. With
the new order of things the poor
carriers will be deluged. A strong
protest should be sent from every town
in Iowa, and in fact from every state
in the union against this Ubiquitous
ruling"
