When The Baby Goes to School.

When the baby is promoted from
long clothes to short ones, a sense OF
loss comes over father. Baby's
mother doesn't feel it. A short
clothed baby is less trouble but dad
feels that he has lost something.
He has, too, for the helpless little
thing in the long slips which so ap-
pealed to him from it's very help
has lost his baby.
Mothers turn comes the day the
baby starts to school. Then she
loses her baby. Dad doesn't realize
the change. He has grown used to
the big girl who plays about the
yard and scatters paper dolls over
the floor, but when mother takes
her child by the hand and starts for
the kindergarten with her she
knows that the baby is hers no
longer alone, that other hands will
guide her and other minds control
and that her ownership of the baby
is divided. And when she comes
away after having told the teacher
all about little Mary's peculiarities
and how easy it is for those whom
she loves to guide her infant steps
Alright she leaves more than her
baby within the walls with the
teacher.
1t is the beginning of inevitable
separation when the baby goes to
school. 1t foreshadows another day
when she shall 60 farther afeld to
create wider associations and new
ties. The teacher and the school
are out the first step away from the
doorstep at home, the beginning Of
wandering, whittier?
So when mother cries when her
baby goes to school don't imagine
she is silly. For her baby has be-
come memory instead of a reality.

National Tuberculosis Day, Sunday,
October 9th.

Des Moines, Sept. 16:-Sunday
October 81, will be observed through
out Iowa as tuberculosis day. For
several years, a day has been set
apart by the National Association on
which pulpits throughout the
country, by sermons or address,
have treated some phase of the pre-
vention of tuberculosis. Last year,
the day was most successfully OBJ
served in Iowa. In some counties,
every pulpit in the county was oc-
cupied with an address on some
phase of the prevention of the white
plague. 1t may be safely assumed
that there will be general re-
spouse on the part of the clergy to
have this subject presented. The
department of tuberculosis will sup
ply abundant material and outline
for the preparation of such address
es, and in addition will be glad to
send out free literature for distribu-
ton. Should October 9th not be
available then any day near to it
will do just as we'll. The intimate
cooperation which this department
has had with the clergy of Iowa in
sures the success Of this day. For
any information address A. E. KEEP

PLANS CHANGED BY MUD.
Marriage Party ON Way to kellerton
We'd at Creston Instead.

Mud will even halt marriage
party at times. 1t was on account
of rain and mud yesterday that the
plans of Miss nellie Gertrude Mlcheal
of Kellerton, Iowa, and Max Miller
Hamilton of Des Moines were shans-
ed and the two were married at
Creston instead of Kellerton, as they
had planned.
Mr.. Hamilton and Miss Michael
were motoring to kellerton expect
ing to be married there at the nome
of Miss Michael's sister. After
struggling through the mud from
Des Moines, however, they finally
gave up the journey and were mar
ried at Creston by Rev. .. W..
Winter of the Christian church.
They were accompanied by Mrs.
Jessie May Hansen, a sister or the
bride.
Mr.. Hamilton is treasurer OF the
Riddell Automobile company and a
prominent auto dealer, while Mrs.
Hamilton is We'll known both here
and at Kellerton. They will take an
extended auto trip before returning
to Des Moines to make their home
here.-Register and Leader, Sept. q.

The AutO.TaX Fund.

The special automobile registra-
ton tax, arranged for by the last
Iowa legislature, has, like the hunt
er's license, outrun all expectations
The secretary of state reports that
the collections amount to nearly
Malt a million dollars for the year
1912, which has four months yet
to run. OF this amount, the state
gets fifteen per cent, while the
eighty-tive per cent is distributed
equally among the counties accord
ing to their size. Greene county,
which probably contributes $4,000
to the fund, draws just as much as
does Polk county, which contributes
$4,000, because the counties are
the same size geographically.
1t thus appears that upwards OF
100000 of the money paid by the
automobiles will annually be ex-
pended directly upon road improve
ment in Iowa. This vast sum, which
will increase from year to year,
ought to do a lot for Iowa roads. 1t
may only be expended for grading,
graveling, draining, or cement Gull
verts, and none of it can be used
"lCulu IuG llLulLS VI ClLlCo elHu W ITO.
It cannot be expended except for the
work done under surveys and speci-
fications made by a competent en-
gineer. Thus the money must not
only all go upon country roads, but
it must be used intelligently.
This money will keep coming in
year by year, and there ought to be
no pettiness or unworthy jealousy
shown if one locality gets a good
share of the work this year, and an
other locality next year, and so on
until all are reached. A first class
highway connecting all towns of the
county ought to get attention first,
because such roads afford the great
est amount of good to the greatest
number, while the lesser travelled
highways will receive attention as
time goes on.-Jefferson Bee.

IOWA SCHOOL DAYS.
Boys and Girls of State Have Long
er Terms Than of Neigh
boring States.

The Iowa school boy has larger
number of days ahead OF him In the
school year than is the average in
any of the other states of the north
central group. There is an average
of 176 days of school in the Iowa
school year, and not one other
state has as many days, in the group
including Ohio, Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, Missouri, W1sooAsin, Hin
nesota, North Dakota, Nebraska and
Kansas. North Dakota is lowest
with only 144 school days, and
Nebraska is nearest with nearly 176
days average annual term.
The facts concerning the schools
of this group of states, and the IN
teresting comparisons, were COM
piled by Professor McClenahan, in
charge of the secondary schools Of
the state. Other facts are:
In Iowa 22.7 per cent of the total
population is enrolled in the public
schools. Ohio has only 1863 per
cent. Eight of the twelve states
have a less per cent enrolled than
Iowa, while Nebraska, Kansas and
North Dakota have a slightly larg-
err per cent. Seven Of these states
have a larger per cent of those en-
rolled present daily, but Iowa mas
TIT per cent.
Iowa has slightly more than lO
per cent of her teachers male, and
this is less than any other state IN
the group. Minnesota has slightly
more male teachers than Iowa, but
Indiana leads the list with 36.6 per
cont IF her teachers men
Iowa spends $5.35 per capita for
her whole population upon elemen-
tary and secondary education. Six
states spend more, North Dakota
leading with a total of 1924, while
Compared with these same states
Iowa averages $33.O1 per pupil for
the year. Missouri, Kansas, Michi-
gan, Indiana, are slightly less, while
eight states expend more. North
Dakota leads with $52.O7 average
per pupil per year. However, Iowa
only expends 1873 cents less and
Missouri is less with ia cents.
North Dakota is highest with 1878
cents.
Iowa receives 8 per cent of it's
whole revenue from it's permanent
fund and Minnesota gets only 6.5
per cent. We have been inclined to
point to Minnesota as a state with
a great permanent fund income, but
the truth is Minnesota has state
tax which furnishes IA per cent of
it's entire revenue, and Iowa has no
state tax for public schools. South
Dakota and Kansas are the only
other states in this group that do
not have a state tax for public edu-
cation. Michigan raises only 81 per
cent of it's tax locally and has the
state tax of 1872 per cent.

A Proclamation.

During the past few years public
attention has been properly directed
to the enormous fire loss which an
nually takes place in the United
States, and as a result a strong SEN
timent has developed in favor OF
better fire protection, as we'll as
more efficient means of fire proven
ton. Many states have made pro-
vision by law for the office OF state
fire marshal whose duty it is to in
vestigate the cause and origin of fires
and to encourage, by educational
and other means, their prevention.
In several states day known as
Fire Prevention Day has annually
been set apart either by law or by
executive proclamation.
While no portion OF our country
was visited by any great conf1agra-
ton during the year 1911, the loss
by fire in the United States during
said year nevertheless exceeded
$217,0OO,O0O. Our own good state
contributed about $5,50O,0OO to
this loss.
When it is remembered that this
represents property absolutely an
initiated, the economic loss to our
state and country becomes the more
apparent.
That a large percentage of the
fires which annually occur in this
country may be prevented is con-
clusively shown by the fact that
while the per capita fire loss in the
United States in 1911 was about
1888, during the same time it was
81 cents in France, SO cents in
England and 21 cents in Germany.
In the light of these figures, the
question of fire prevention becomes
one of the important economic
problems of our times, and any
movement having for it's object the
lessening of the large and unneces-
sary fire waste which annually takes
place in the United States should
have the hearty support of all good
citizens.
For the reasons set forth l have
deemed it proper to set apart
day to be devoted to the inspection
of property and the education OF
the public in the causes, dangers
and prevention of fires, and l there
fore hereby proclaim "Wednesday
October 9th, 1912 as State Fire
Prevention Day, and I would earn
eStly recon memo tQdC upon LudI udy
the teachers in our public and pri-
vate schools and educational, insti-
tutions give special attention to the
causes, dangers and prevention OF
fires; that the mayors and council
men of the various cities and towns
give attention to the matter of bet
ter building regulations, better fire
protection and better fire prevention,
and that they see to it that all pub
lie buildings which are not properly
equipped with fire escapes be so
equipped; that there be a general
cleaning up of dilapidated buildings
which are especially liable to fire,
and that owners of property give
personal attention to the removal of
all rubbish and debris from their
premises and to the setting of their
heating appliances and chimneys in
proper condition for winter use.
In Testimony Whereof, l have
hereunto set my hand and caused to
be affixed an impression of the
Great Seal of the State of Iowa,
