RESULTS OF THE PLAN AT DEs
MONIES.

In a recent issue the Kansas CITY
Star summarizes the. results OF the
first year Of the commission plan OF
CITY government in Des MOines. Fol-
lowing is the showing;
Efficiency in every department OF
the public service. :.
The police force taken out OF poli-
ties reorganized, increased and kept
to a higher standard OF efficiency
than ever before. The same improve
ment has been made in the nre de-
partment. 49,,
The streets are in better CONDITION
as to repairs, are cleaner and Detter
lighted; more paving and more slde-
walks built than ever before.
At Des MONIES streets were re-
named and neat street signs placed AZ
every corner.
Water rates reduced 20 per cent.
Wages Of day laborers increased 70
1925 and teamsters to $500 Tor an
eight hour day.
An arch cement bridge eighty feet
wide built across the Des MONIES
riy er at a cost of $4,000 and paid for
without bond issue
The sanitary conditions improved.
Politics entirely eliminated from
every department of the city.
All complaints of citizens for tenn
porary repairs in sidewalks, streets
sewers, etc.. attended to the same day
| they are received.
Seventyone more arc lights estab
l:shed on the streets and 634 lights
| that formerly burned OF the moon
light schedule now burn every night
at an expense of almost $4,000 less
/ than the old rate.
/ On the same authority, all this I'm
provement in Des Moines city govern
/ ment has been madea at saving to tn
taxpayers OF more than $224,OO0 In Z
year and In addition the tax levy TO
/ next year has been reduced almos

WHAT ONE DOCTOR SAID.

Under this heading the Cedar Rap
ids Gazette quotes an Iowa doctor as
declaring the other day that the early
summer months are the quietest
months of the year for the physician, q
fact well known to every practitioner
of medicine. The reasons he cited
therefor are thus stated.
THAT is the season of the year
when everybody is out of doors as
much as possible, and it is the part OF
the summer when there are no flies.
During the winter months people shut
themselves indoors and the doctors
are compelled to get busy. Overhead
ed and lily ventilated rooms are con,
ducive to illness, and the doctor reaps
harvest. Late in the summer flies
are the cause OF great deal of sick
ness. The flies infect people with ty
pnoid and other fevers, summer com
plant and kindred ailments, and ther
the doctors are busy again"
What the doctor quoted above says
4 is true. insufficient ventilation and
the presence OF flies are potent fac
tors in the causation of of disease. Il
people would take pains to secure ar
abundance of pure air at all seasons
of the year and wage war Of exter
mination against flies the number O
cases of Illness would be materially re
duced.

August contains an article by Frank G..
Moorhead on Catching Them Young. :"
The subject matter deals with what is
being done in educating the farm boys
and girls in scientific agriculture. In
brief preface to the article the edi-
tor of the magazine says that it de
scribes for the first time one of the
most important and most significant
developments in the public school sys-
TEN OF the United States, and adds:
ut seems in fair way to furnish an
answer to the old question: How shall
the boys and girls be kept on the
farm? Naturally the scene of this
most interesting advance is the great
Middle West, where democracy seems
most alert to its dangers, and most in
Eenious and determined in solving It's
