OBITUARY..
Mrs. o. c. Stevens.

|
Martha Ellen Buckner was born In
Highland township, Feb. 8, 1858 and
died May 81, 1912, aged 81 years 8
months, 25 days.
On Jan. IL, 1877 she was united in
marriage to O. c. Stevens. To this
union were born two children, Roy E.
of Ottumwa, and Warren 0. who pre-
coded his mother to the other shore,
some twenty months ago.
Mr. and Mrs. Stevens lived on q
farm near Highland Center for few
years after their marriage and then
moved to Ottumwa where they resided
twenty years They moved back to
the farm ten years ago and have re-
sided there ever since.
Besides her husband and son Roy,
she leaves her father F. NJ. Buckner
of Denver, Colo, and three sisters,
Mrs. J. H. Spilman and Mrs. Frank
Emery of Highland Center and Mrs.
Roscoe Kelsey near Ottumwa. One
sister Mrs. Tony Lowenberg preceded
ler in death. The passing of Mrs.
Stevens while not unexpected, was a
shock to all who knew her because
her beautiful quiet life endeared her
to everyone The church has lost one
of its most valuable member, in Sis
ter Stevens, who always had vital
interest in the welfare of Christian
work In her daily life she beautiful
ly exemplified the truest principles Of
her savior whom she knew and fully
trusted For number of years Mr..
and Mrs. Stevens were members Of
First Presbyterian church Of Ottumwa
but recently they transferred their
membership to the Methodist church
at Highland Center.
Sister Stevens departure was a
glorious triumph, because amidst her
great suffering physically. which at
times grew almost unbearable, her
Christian grace and strength intensi-
fed, and with unWavering faith she
entered the portals of eternity amidst
the sweetest music ever rendered by
Gods celestial chorus.
Her devoted husband and son. and
other relatives are greatly comforted
with the sweetest memories of her un-
furnished life, and fondest hopes of q
heavenly reunion.
The funeral was held last Sunday
afternoon at the beautiful country
home, Rev. T. J. Petit of Mt. Pleas
ant nad charge aHQ pTedCueu CoiH-
forting sermon. Rev. r. Ames Mont
gomery of Ottumwa assisted with the
service.
At the Mccormick cemetery Just as
the sun was sinking behind the groves
on the west the funeral ceremony was
rendered in which the Rebekahs Of
Highland Center took part. and all that
was mortal Of one Of this worlds
saintliest characters, and Gods
choicest children, was gently laid
away to wait that happy resurrection
morn.-Contributed.

AMERICAN AUTO GAINS.

The striking gains made by Ameri-
can automobile manufacturers IN the
worlds markets Is shown by report
issued today by the bureau OF Stats
tics OF the department Of commerce
and labor Twenty thousand automo-
hiles will be the export record Of the
United States in the fiscal year which
ends will, tr4 ,2'.",nnt - tith TIE re-
po9t says and their value, including
narts ana accessories, VIII approx
mate $4,000 900 Continuing the re-
port of the bureau says:
This total of $27,000,000 worth OF
automobiles sent out Of the country
IN 1912 is in marked contrast with the
figures of a decade ago, 1902, which,
hv the way, was the first year in which
the bureau of s. atistics found the ex-
norts Of automobiles Of sufficient i'm
nortance to justify a separate record,
the total for that year being Httle
less than 100000, as against $2',-
100000 ten years later.
The growth in exports OF automo'
hiles from the United States has been
especially marked during the period
since 1905, this growth being coinci-
dent with the expansion of the do
nestle industry and corresponding
decrease in imports OF automobiles.
Thus in the period from 1899 to 1904
the value of domestic manufactures OF
this class OF articles increased about
S25. 0OO. 900, from 100000 in 1899 to
IN, 900 900 in 1904, an increase of $685.
az. 900: while In the period from 1904
Ia ia09 the value Of the output increas-
ed practically $22O,0oo,oo0 from $780,
T1o f,f,, in 1904 to $249, 100000 in 1909.
Accompanying this notable growth in
nroduction, the imports Of automobiles
decreased from $4,500,000 in 1906 and
sl75O. 900 in 1907 to approximately ST.
soc, 900 In 1912.
While France still leads the world
IN ernorts of automobiles, the United
States surpasses that and all other
countries in rapidity of growth OF pro-
auction and expectation. For example
our own exports Of that class Of arti.
nles have increased from $5,000,000 In
tha calendar year 1908 to nearly $780,
f0o non in 1911: while in the same
r,eriod those of France increased from
s24 600 900 to s31, 100000; those of the
Great Britain from s7,600,000 to $751;
ROO 900. those Of Germany, from 3d.
00f' fl00 to s11 100000; and those Of
itaIy. from s., SOC, 900 to $6,100,000. Thus
In the brief three-year period from
1908 to 1911 there was an absolute
gain Of about $15,000,0OO or 300 per
cent in exports from the United states
Of $7,9O0,000 or over 100 per cent IN
those from the Great Britain; OF 3d.
OO0, 900 or 266 per cent in those from
Germany; and of 100000, or slightly

THE GROWTH OF CITIES.

New Yory World-The growth of
great cities in this country has been
most impressively rapid, but quite as
striking is the current census exhibit
that the suburbs Of these cities are
growing more rapidly. If these i'm.
mediately surrounding cities and vii.
lagos be included, the twenty largest
cities of the United States show a
population of around 21,000,000, or
nearly a fourth Of the whole popula.
ton of the country.
Nothing so we'll as this tells the
story of mans advance in industry.
So great a relative urban population
as we now have is made possible only
by such a division Of labor, by such
facilities of transportation and by such
efficiency of labor in production as
were never known before and never

LEPRosY AND TUBERCULOSIS.


Physicians commenting on the panic
\ displayed by the health authorities OF
Iowa and Michigan recently IN hand
/ ling the case Of a man who had con-
tracted the disease Of leprosy regret.
ted that some OF the energy displayed
in this lone leprosy case could not pc
transferred to fight on tuberculosis
These physicians held tuberculosis
to be infinitely more dangerous and
more easily communicable, yet 1t Is
only in late years that the states have
taken up organized fights on tuoercu-
losis, ard the results achieved mus
far have not been ffattering.
The Journal of the American Meol-
cal association takes up the leprosy
question In its current issue IN dls-
cussing the treatment OF John n.
Early, who has been treated as
pariah since it was declared IN 1919
that he had the disease. Early mas
finally been given position as nurse
in q leper colony on the Pacific coast
after having been driven out or vari-
Gus communities. Waving Tor the
purpose of argument the question OF
whether Early really has leprosy and
presuming that he Ia Il leper, the
Journal says:
.Leprosy is slowly developing,
slightly infectious disease, compar-
able in many respects to tuberculosis
of the skin. If from the beginning
Early's infection had been pronounced
a form OF tuberculosis, who would nave
paid the slightest attention to 1t? Yet
the opportunities for the ordinary
tuberculous patient to communicate
his disease are many times greater
than the opportunities for the ieper TO
infect with leprosy, which Is COM
municable only with difficulty.
possibly leprosy was dangerously IN
fectious in the scriptual days from
which the traditional horror surround
ing 1t is largely derived. If so, this
characteristic has certainly become
greatly modified during the twenty
Intervening centuries. How illogical
It is. then, to base our twentieth cen
tury attitude toward leprosy on It's
ancient or it, medieval statues. Our
London correspondent says: There
are probably always twenty to thirty
cases of leprosy in London The
patients live at home and move about
unrestricted. There appears to
be no danger whatever Of contagion,
for no cases Of transmission have
come TO light II the enlightened
American people must suffer from an
epidemic pathophobia, let 1t be
wholesome fear of something really
worth dreading."
