A SIGN OF PROSPERITY.
[Bopne News.Republican.1

Boone News Republican,
Some counties Of Iowa report clean
slate on the delinquent tax sale. not a
single piece Of property being offered
at the sale. Other counties have very
small tax lists and ~ rule taxes
are cleaned up very satisfactorily all
over the state. in fact realty companies
carrying loans on Iowa property report
that Iowa 10 the banner state in keep
ing taxes paid. And this in face OF the
fact that Iowa taxes are said to be very
high and still going higher.
This Is something different from the
days when 1t was almost easier for the
camel to 60 thru the needles eye than
to pay the farm tax. In those days the
tax list advertisement amounted to 4
thousand or more dollars and It was an
exception rather than the rule when
any one had his taxes paid on time.
We certainly ought to congratulate
ourselves that times are so different,
and Iowa is so comfortable at the
present time. Still there is limit to
the amount of taxes that any cornmun-
ity can bear. There should be move
ment towards stopping the annual In
crease OF the budget and pledge ex-
tracted from all candidates for the
legislature that Iowa should begin a
movement toward economy.

The collapse of big, reinforced con-
crete business block in Cedar Rapids
will serve to emphasize the need Of
some sort OF competent supervision OK
concrete construction.
Concrete IL something that may be
good or bad, and whether 1t be good or
bad turns on such little things that 1t
may we'll be doubted whether the COM
munity will ever be safe in entrusting
1t to men whose primary interest IL

The concrete pavement in Des
Moines and in many other cities. the
cement tile that have been put in in the
northern part of the state in large
quantities. and that have collapsed, ce-
ment sidewalks that have not survived
the first frost in many places. are all
Of them notice to the public that ce-
ment IL something that must be used
with some discretion.
The Evening Tribune believes that
the legislature in the end must put
very severe restrictions on concrete
construction and provide for the most
painstaking inspection Of all cement
work.
Cement is going to be the building
material Of the future. It will If 1t is
honestly used be the road making ma
terial OF the future. It will be the
bridge building material. It is going to
be altogether too important in the
economy OF states like Iowa to be laid
in dishonest or haphazard manner.
II the business block in Cedar Rap
ids had been properly planned and
properly erected It would not have col
lapsed.
Why should life and property be put
in jeopardy in any Of our cities thru the
attempt Of contractors to save some
thing by sk;mping on the quality OF
their cement. or in Its proper prepare
ton and use?

How often We hear people say, "Oh.
I do not want anything TO DO with
the fancy part Of the chicken busi-
ness; I am out for utility and ! just
do not want to have anything TO do
with the fancy part Of the business. "
Some persons seem TO have about the
same aversion to the fancy that the
small boy does 10 having his hands
and face washed.
They seem 10 think that that sounds
mighty practical and will help TO keep
them from getting mixed up with
the fellows who are always talking
about shows and prizes and all such
things. Oh. yes, they want good
stock. but nothing fancy. The fam
sier can get along without the utility

than the utility man can get along
without the fancier. In reality. they

Plymouth Rocks. Wyandottes and
Reds frome other breeds and gave
them TO us in a shape that has made
them OF the greatest value TO the
farmer and market poultryman.
Where is there a utility man or farm
er who would be willing to blot out
all these breeds and go back to where
we were 80 years ago? He has given
us such a variety that the most cX-

TRENTON
DRIVER BADLY NJURED-ONE
HORSE KILLED-TEAM FOUND
AFTER ALL-NIGHT SEARCH

Last Friday morning F. j. Wilkln-
sons sen started to the sawmill for
a load of lumber, using hte running
gear only and was riding on the rear
hounds. In crossing the track the
horses became frightened and in the
excitement the driver dropped one of
his lines. Realizing that wild and
dangerous ride was ahead of him, he
dropped to the ground thinking that
the rear trucks would clear him, with
the result that he is now nursing a
badly bruised arm and head. The
team made a circle around the hotel
Trenton, started east toward the tim
ber. ran to the river bank and turned
north, taking a road to the prairie,
then turned back west and followed
the bench land for short distance,
Jumped the bench and landed on the
ice, one horse was killed and the 9TH
er in a serious condition, when found
the next morning about 10 o'clock.
A searching party was organized
but the runaways were not found un-
til Mr.. Purcell who was on his way
to the woods the next morning dis
covered them in the brush.

CHILDREN OUT OF SCHOOL

The following is an extract from a
very interesting and important contri-
button to the current issue Of Farm
and Fireside:
"Out of twenty five million children
in the United States, less than eigh
teen million go to school,
"Of those seven million children who
do not go to school, half of them live
in the country, where bad roads
muddy roads, rutty roads, dangerous
roads-not only prevent them from
getting to and from school, but by
their impoverishment Of the farm
prevent the existence Of any good
schools for them to go to!
"Many children are killed each year
walking railroad tracks to school.
Why? They have no roads to walk
on Many children each year have
no schools to go to. Why? The roads
are so lad there is no profit in farm
ing, no money for schools, no pro-
gress, no growth, no ambition. Hun
dreds Of thousands of children yearly
have to do with little schooling, a
little part of term at school-why?
Because Father needs their help on
the farm-he isn't making money
enough to spare his children's time
for school-days, because he has to

LUMBER YARD
BADLY DAMAGED
GASOLINE EXPLOSION STARTS
BAD BLAZE IN BRUEGGER
LUMBER YARD

Fire starting from gasoline explo-
sion caused large amount Of damage
at the Bruegger lumber yard last
Saturday afternoon, and for time
threatened other adjoining property.
1t appears that two men were work
ing with a gasoline tractor in one of
the sheds. They were trying to start
the engine, when the explosion oc-
cured, which scattered the flames
about the shed, and which rapidly
communicated to the lumber sheds
near. Neither of the men we're hurt
in the explosion.
For time it appeared as though
the fire would soon spread to num-
ber of other buildings in the block,
but by some good work on the part Of
the department it was confined prin-
cipally to the lumber sheds.
An exact estimate Of the loss has
not been made but it is stated that
this will be over $4,000 as a large
amount of valuable lumber was badly
charred
